The IV-G15 works as an expansion unit for the Keyence IV-G10 sensor amplifier. This module increases the processing capacity of the main unit when one head is not enough. Furthermore, it draws all power and communication from the connected main unit, so no separate wiring is needed.
The IV-G15 does not carry its own tool set. Instead, it inherits all tools and programs from the connected IV-G10 main unit. Specifically, the main unit provides 16 detection tools, one position adjustment tool, and 32 program slots across the linked configuration.
For network connectivity, the IV-G15 relies on the RJ-45 8-pin connector of the IV-G10. It therefore supports FTP client, EtherNet/IP, and PROFINET through the main unit. Communication expansion beyond this pairing is not available.
The unit receives its supply voltage directly from the IV-G10 main unit. Power consumption figures are not published separately. Outputs use open collector type through the main unit, with a linked output current of 20 mA when connected to the IV-G15.
Keyence does not publish dimensions or weight figures for this expansion unit. The housing matches the IV-G10 form factor for side-by-side mounting.
Operating temperature ranges from 0 to +50°C without freezing. Relative humidity should stay between 35 and 85% RH without condensation. Keyence does not list a protection rating for this amplifier module.
First, mount the IV-G15 beside the IV-G10 main unit on the same DIN rail. Next, slide the units together until the side connectors engage fully. Then, secure both units with the end brackets.
After that, restore power to the main unit and confirm the expansion unit is detected. Finally, assign the additional head channels through the IV-H1 software or IV-M30 monitor.

1x Quick Start Guide
Q1: What is the IV-G15 used for?
A: The IV-G15 is an expansion unit for the IV-G10 sensor amplifier. It adds processing capacity when a single main unit cannot handle all inspection channels.
Q2: Does the Keyence IV-G15 need its own power supply?
A: No, it draws supply voltage directly from the connected IV-G10 main unit. No separate power wiring is required.
Q3: How does the IV-G15 connect to a network?
A: It routes all communication through the IV-G10 main unit. The main unit provides the RJ-45 port for FTP client, EtherNet/IP, and PROFINET.
Q4: How many heads can a linked IV-G10 and IV-G15 setup support?
A: The pairing increases processing capacity beyond a standalone main unit. The exact head count depends on your tool configuration and inspection cycle time.
Q5: Can I still buy the IV-G15 for spare parts?
A: Yes, surplus and refurbished units remain available through industrial automation suppliers. Confirm stock before ordering.
