| Sensor Processes Data on Vibration, Temperature, Relative Humidity, and Ambient Pressure |
Florence, KY. June 05, 2020 - Balluff’s new condition
monitoring sensor can measure vibration, temperature, relative humidity, and
ambient pressure. The feature-rich sensor collects and processes these readings
and outputs digital statistical data to a host system via IO-Link.
In addition, the sensor can detect and communicate its
condition, continuously reporting its temperature, number of operating hours,
and start cycles. By automating cost-intensive manual inspections, it minimizes
unscheduled stops and faults in the production process. This condition data is
an essential component for implementing smart and flexible manufacturing.
The sensor is available in two versions, both in an
extremely small stainless-steel form factor. The first measures contact
temperature and vibration in all three axes of motion and have IP67 and IP69K
ratings making it especially useful for harsh environments. The other adds the
additional environmental variables of relative humidity and ambient pressure
and delivers an IP67 rating.
The sensor’s standardized IO-Link protocol allows users to
easily parameterize the sensors and match the processing in the sensors to
their specific application. The process data structure permits users to
configure five measured or preprocessed data types to be cyclically transmitted.
It is also possible to perform an acyclical request for additional statistical
processing variables.
Key features:
- Multiple
measurements in one device: vibration, temperature, relative humidity,
ambient pressure
- Integrated
processing circuitry with configurable data preprocessing
- Configurable
events and status indicators
- Fast
connection and simple to incorporate using IO-Link
- Extremely
compact form factor for restricted spaces
