To the product
Your benefit
  • Increased process reliability
    • Comprehensive process and diagnostic data enables reliable control and monitoring of processes.
  • Simple and fast plug & play sensor replacement
    • Find-me function for easy sensor identification.  With IO-Link 1.1, no new parameter adjustment of the sensor is necessary when replacing the sensor. Parameter server functions also enable the multiplication of parameter data.
  • Highest machine availability and predictive maintenance
    • Continuous monitoring of measurement data and evaluations thanks to the histograms of process, temperature and voltage values extracted via IO-Link.  Additional data such as operating hours, boat and switching cycles.
  • Application-specific, flexible parameter adjustment of the sensor
    • Wide range of applications due to versatile parameterization options such as measured value filters for fast or precise applications or a freely configurable switching output.
  • Simplified planning & commissioning
    • Low effort in project planning and commissioning of the plant due to individual IO-Link parameterisation and teach functions.
  • Smaller number of variants due to extended functionalities
    • With various functions such as distance, frequency measurement, counter function and individually configurable switching points, these sensors can be used for various applications.
Applications

Position measurement of the gripper jaws

  • Simple teach-in of the reference position via IO-Link to eliminate the mechanical installation tolerances
  • Linearized and calibrated sensors allow an exact evaluation of the gripper jaw position
  • Flexible switching output configurable via IO-Link or distance and switching information for individual requirements

Flexible control of vibration conveyors

  • Optimum control and monitoring of vibration conveyors by measuring the vibration frequency and the vibration stroke
  • High-precision sensors for reliable material feed
  • Easy adaptation to individual requirements regarding accuracy and speed via IO-Link
Belt tension control and monitoring

Control and monitoring of tape tensions

  • High control quality possible via the distance measured value and via individually parameterisable switching points
  • The sensor has two functions: Displacement measurement and end position switch-off
  • The sensor can be easily and optimally adapted to different roll diameters via IO-Link
