Pepperl+Fuchs introduces IO-Link-enabled measuring inductive distance sensors. The sensors are said to be able to detect objects at up to 3 m/sec and provide accurate measurement data with a repetition accuracy of 5%, even if their measuring range is up to 30 mm.
The damping element’s speed and acceleration are determined by the sensors. It is possible to parameterize two separate switching windows and specified limit values separately.
The accuracy and speed of the measurement can be changed thanks to adjustable filters. Very quick throughput times are made possible by the high switching frequency of up to 1300 Hz, which contributes to increased productivity.
The IO-Link interface is used to communicate additional data, such as temperature, running hours, and counters.
Sub-processes like valve opening and closing and absorbent element acceleration and braking can be thoroughly examined thanks to the tracking of speed and acceleration as well as the previous values of these variables.
Predictive maintenance is made easier and unscheduled downtime is avoided thanks to this machine status monitoring. There are various devices with analog outputs for traditional uses.
Applications
The devices are suitable for Industry 4.0 applications and offer not only high-precision measurement capabilities, but also comprehensive information for condition monitoring and predictive maintenance.
