The KA1590 capacitive sensor from the 26 Series now includes IO Link Technology. 

This IO Link sensor can detect products with a low 1.1 dielectric. It comes with normally open contact and normally closed contact. On and off delay timing functions are programmable to application requirements. The easy teach by wire is guided by the status of the yellow and green LEDs.   The sensor operates on 10–35 VDC, the housing is IP67 sealed for CIP (clean in place), and installation is quick with tri clamp mounting. The PTFE housing is FDA 21 CFR 177.1550 compliant for use in food and pharmaceutical applications. The sensor has a temperature rating up to 212°F.

Applications include level control for batching of paste type products, liquids, and bulk solids and powders used in food and pharmaceutical manufacturing.
