An embedded DMS inductive Smart Sensor uses inclined-plane principles to sense the precise position of the push-rod in a pneumatic cylinder, halting travel when it is fully extended. Routine process data is transmitted to the PLC via IO-Link. The sensor also monitors temperature within the cylinder and sends a high-speed SIO alarm signal directly to the PLC if an over-temperature event is detected.
Customer benefits:
- High-resolution position control of pneumatic cylinder ensures accurate placement
- Real-time process data drives routine machine-position functions
- Dual-channel operation allows secondary monitoring of cylinder temperature
- High-speed serial input/output (SIO) triggers rapid action before criticality occurs
