SMART INDUCTIVE SENSORS MAINTAIN OPTIMIZED CYCLE TIMES IN PNEUMATIC CYLINDER SYSTEMS WITHOUT INCREASING COMPLEXITY OR COST

Rugged, multi-mode Smart Sensors from Contrinex, embedded in each cylinder, identify adverse trends in the deceleration profile, providing a cost-effective, unobtrusive fit-and-forget solution.

• Embeddable inductive Smart Sensors offer multiple sensing modes in a single device, eliminating increased complexity and cost
• The Smart Sensor’s one-shot timer feature allows process engineers to identify deviations from the optimal deceleration profile, minimizing maintenance expense
• The Smart Sensor’s dual-channel capability enables a local alarm to be triggered by an event-based exception, avoiding a plant-wide shut-down
• Industry-standard IO-Link connectivity provides a single interface to the machine control system
• Cumulative operating data for predictive maintenance, including temperature and operating-cycle count, is recorded in on-board data storage
• Sensor configurations are stored locally, allowing plug-and-play replacement of sensors when needed
• Proven technology ensures highly reliable fit-and-forget operation with no manual intervention

• Robust, metal-cased inductive Smart Sensors are ideal for easy integration
• Multi-channel monitoring circuitry allows users to define up to nn customized output thresholds
• Sophisticated sensing electronics deliver high-precision multi-mode measurements
• High-speed device-to-device communication enables decentralized data-processing and decision making
• Smart Sensors are individually shielded and EMC immune, eliminating interference when multiple devices operate in close proximity
• Dedicated service-data blocks hold device-specific data including product ID, location and serial number
• Visible LED indicators enable sensors to self-identify on demand, simplifying commissioning and trouble-shooting routines
• Industry-standard –25°C to +70°C operating range
