Dieser Blogbeitrag behandelt berührungslose Infrarot-Temperatursensoren. Wie funktioniert ein Infrarot Temperatursensor mit IO-Link Schnittstelle? Typische Anwendungen für diese Art von Sensoren sind in der Metallurgie und Glasherstellung. Überall dort, wo flüssige oder heiße Metalle produziert oder verarbeitet werden. This post is also available in English     Automatisierung in Stahlwerken Moderne […]

Berührungsloser Infrarot-Temperatursensor mit IO-Link – Enabler für Industrie 4.0

This post is about a non-contact infrared temperature sensor. You will read about the benefits for modern production processes that involve objects with very high temperature. Typical applications for this kind of sensors are in metallurgy and glass production. Everywhere liquid or molten metals is present and being processed. This […]

In web development, JSON objects are a programmer’s dream come true. JSON, or JavaScript Object Notation, is much similar to XML (EXtensible Markup Language) in that it’s used as a standard format to organize and transfer data across multiple programming languages. For example, say you want to send sensor data […]

JSON Objects and How They Can Streamline an IIoT Application ...

Warum tut sich die Industrie, oder genauer gesagt und oft genannt, der Mittelstand (KMU) so schwer mit dem Thema Industrie 4.0? Oder stimmt das vielleicht gar nicht? Ein Standpunkt zu Industrie 4.0 Viele Definitionen zu diesem Thema sind für mich recht hochtrabend, zu abstrakt und auf jeden Fall klingt es […]

Zum Stand von Industrie 4.0 bei der Automatisierung im Maschinen- ...

That seems like a no-brainer statement, but often I find myself talking to customers who are frustrated with their current vendor for a myriad of reasons. An RFID project can require a pretty decent chunk of capital investment so when something doesn’t go as planned people start looking for answers […]

IO-Link has become synonymous with the term “distributed modular I/O”. We know it is universal, smart, and easy, but what exactly is IO-Link? In a nutshell, by utilizing a standard sensor cable, the IO-Link slave device speaks point to point with an IO-Link master. The IO-Link master then combines the […]

Three Things to Know About IO-Link — SENSORTECH

Linear position sensors that provide continuous, typically analog, feedback are used extensively in a variety of applications in many different industries and markets. Linear position sensors employ various technologies, but at the most basic level the technologies can be classified as being either non-contact or contact based. For the purpose […]

Benefits of Non-contact Linear Position Sensing Technology — SENSORTECH

In any continuous manufacturing process such as steel production, increased throughput is the path to higher profits through maximum utilization of fixed capital investments. In order to achieve increased throughput, more sophisticated control systems are being deployed. These systems enable ever-higher levels of automation but can present new challenges in […]
