Combined vibration/temperature sensor with IO-Link

24.04.2023/XNUMX/XNUMX | Turck is expanding its range Temperature Sensors around the robust vibration sensor with integrated temperature detection. The CMVT is suitable for condition monitoring applications and prevents e.g. B. that a machine is damaged by an imbalance of rotating parts.

Vibration and temperature are decisive here for the timely detection of early defects. The temperature vibration sensor is designed to detect and internally evaluate vibrations across three axes.

As soon as the set temperatures or vibrations exceed the set vibration or temperature range, the vibration sensor gives a warning message directly IO-Link or as a switching signal.

The switching output is particularly suitable for Retrofit- and standalone applications by directly acting as a trigger for a Signal light can be used - without integration into existing control systems.

Vibration monitor facilitates commissioning

A vibration monitor simplifies the commissioning of the vibration temperature sensors. This makes it easier and quicker to visualize the vibration and temperature data in real time in any web browser. This data can be transmitted via any Turck IO-Link master without additional software be read out.

IO-Link is a technology that makes it possible to collect additional information such as operating hours and transfer it to cloud systems. The CMVT sensor is able to record accelerations in g and vibration velocities in mm/s over a wide frequency range.

The smart pre-processing of the data also enables a direct output of Peak to Peak-Values ​​or effective values ​​of acceleration and speed.

Another great benefit of the CMVT sensor is that it thresholds accordingly ISO 10816-3 spends This enables status monitoring that conforms to standards and thus facilitates the monitoring of systems.

Temperature sensor and humidity sensor with IO-Link

05.05.2021/XNUMX/XNUMX | With these combined Temperature Sensors | Humidity sensors from Turck condition monitoring can be implemented cost-effectively on site and in the IIoT. About the IO-Link The humidity and temperature sensors can also be integrated particularly easily via the interface. The CMTH-M12 version (picture above) combines both measured variables air humidity and temperature in one device.

Applications for humidity, Temperature Sensors can be found in Condition monitoring Systems for condition monitoring of machines and plants. The climate monitoring in production and storage buildings in numerous industries from the Automotive industry about the semiconductor industry and Food industry and agricultural industry are predestined.

Temperature sensor with two limit level ranges

The heat sensor measurement records two limit level ranges, each with a minimum and maximum value of temperature and/or humidity. Exceeding is issued via a warning electrical signal.

The bidirectional IO-Link interface is also available for Communication of the cyclic user data as well as for warning and status messages. For example, the sensors provide additional information about temperature and humidity such as hours of operation. Alternatively, classic switching outputs are available.

Gateways for Industry 4.0 factory networks

In conjunction with the multi-protocol I/O devices from Turck, user and analysis data from the sensor can be transmitted via separate Ethernet logs communicate. The user data communication of the humidity or temperature measurement to a higher-level control takes place via I/O modules via Ethernet/IP or Profinet. Modbus/TCP is available as a parallel channel for analysis data. The information of the Sensors are also available globally and mobile when used in the cloud via the Edge Gateways and cloud systems from Turck.

Plug-and-play temperature sensors for IIoT

14.12.2020 | Turck expands its fluid sensors-Family of IO-Link-capable temperature sensors for flexible and reliable measurement of process temperatures. Compact devices are available with an integrated temperature sensor (TS700) and evaluation and display units (TS720) for connecting resistance thermometers or thermocouples.

As a member of the with the iF Design Award In the award-winning fluid sensor family, the TS+ temperature sensors also meet increasing demands for easy commissioning and high system availability.

The robust stainless steel housing of the temperature sensors with touch operation instead of mechanical operating elements contributes to this, thanks to the protection classes IP67 and IP69K is optimally prepared for use under harsh environmental conditions.

In addition to process values, the IO-Link interface provides the user with numerous condition monitoring data for smart IIoT-Applications available.

Temperature sensors detect output type

In order to simplify the commissioning of the temperature sensors, the TS+ devices also offer the same features as the PS+ and FS+ pressure and flow sensors automatic recognition the output type (PNP/NPN or current/voltage).

The evaluation devices of the temperature sensors series TS720 also detect the types of thermocouples connected (TC or Pt), eliminating a common source of error. If the TS+ is to be integrated into existing plant systems or to replace existing temperature sensors, the selection of different IO-Link process data profiles allows for quick adaptation without costly changes in the steering.

Typical areas of application for the TS+ sensors are in mechanical and plant engineering as well as in the process industry. Compact temperature sensors of the TS700 series temperature sensors work in a temperature range from -50° to +150 °C. Depending on the connected Temperature sensor, evaluation and display units of type TS720 even cover temperature ranges between -200° and 1800 °C.

What types of temperature sensors are there?

There are four types of sensors most commonly used in modern electronics: thermocouples, RTDs (resistance temperature sensors), thermistors, and infrared sensors.

Thermocouples consist of two conductors made of different types of metals. RTDs measure temperature changes by changing the electrical resistance of a wire resistor. A thermistor uses the resistance of the semiconductor to capture the signal for temperature changes. Infrared sensors measure the thermal radiation emanating from a body to determine the temperature.
