Inductive smart measurement sensors are revolutionizing position control and over-temperature monitoring in pneumatic cylinders, promising significant gains in efficiency for industrial automation systems.
The embedded DMS inductive smart measurement sensor operates on the principles of an inclined plane to precisely determine the position of a push-rod within a pneumatic cylinder. This high-resolution sensing capability allows for accurate placement, ensuring that the cylinder halts precisely when fully extended, optimizing performance and reducing wear and tear on the machinery.
Advanced Monitoring and Data Transmission
The sensor’s dual functionality not only enhances position control but also offers critical temperature monitoring. It continuously transmits routine process data to the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) via IO-Link, a widely used communication protocol in automation. This real-time data helps drive routine machine-position functions, contributing to the smooth operation of automated systems.
In addition to its position sensing capabilities, the DMS smart measurement sensor monitors the temperature within the cylinder. If the temperature exceeds normal operational limits, the sensor sends a high-speed alarm signal directly to the PLC using Serial Input/Output (SIO) technology. This rapid response mechanism allows for immediate adjustments, preventing potential disruptions in operations.
Maximizing Productivity and Efficiency
The dual-channel operation of the sensor—providing both position and temperature data—ensures that the productivity of pneumatic systems is maximized. By utilizing high-resolution position control and over-temperature alerts, the sensor helps industrial operators maintain efficient workflows.
Cost-Effective Solution for Industrial Automation
The combination of precise position control and rapid over-temperature alerts provided by the DMS inductive smart measurement sensor is designed to ensure that productivity is maximized at an optimal cost. By integrating position and temperature monitoring into a single, compact device, the sensor reduces the need for multiple separate sensors, streamlining system design and lowering overall costs.
