Schurter MSS-IO: Electronic Switch with IO-Link Interface

Image

With the MSS-IO, Schurter is entering the field of bidirectional communication via switches in industrial automation. The MSS-IO is based on the successful Schurter MSS electronic switch, which has been expanded to include an IO-Link module.

Schurter mss10

The MSS-IO switch from Schurter is based on wear-free resistance measurement and completely avoids mechanical components. Instead of capacitive technology, a precise change in electrical resistance is used for switch detection: sensitive enough to detect the smallest changes in pressure, robust enough for industrial series processes. Ultrarugged, precise and easy to integrate.

IO-Link Interface
The IO-Link interface allows bidirectional communication, parameterization during operation and real-time diagnostics. The connection is made via standard M12 connectors. Predictive maintenance and simple integration into existing Industry 4.0 environments are guaranteed.

Features

  • IO-Link Communication protocol
  • Resistive electronic switch (LA) / pushbutton (MO) without moving parts
  • Triggering of the switching mechanism by light pressure on the switching surface
  • Multicolor illumination
  • Hygienic operation
  • Trendy design
  • Insensitive to water
  • Side illumination
  • Wearless - no moving parts

Easy to Clean
Thanks to the closed surface, the switch is insensitive to water, dirt and cleaning substances. This is a clear advantage in hygienically sensitive areas such as food processing or laboratory automation. The absence of moving parts minimizes the maintenance effort and increases the service life enormously.

Applications

  • Automation Technology
  • Robotics
  • Hygiene-Critical Applications
  • Scenarios with High Demands on Precision, Process Reliability & Digital Communication

Honeywell ABP2 High Pressure / High Temperature(HP/HT) Sensors

Image

The Honeywell ABP2 HP/HT Sensor Provides Enhanced Robustness and Durability within High Pressure and High Temperature Applications.

Abp2

Honeywell has release its latest innovation, the ABP2 High Pressure / High Temperature (HP/HT) sensors, revolutionising board mount pressure sensing to cover pressure measurement needs in high pressure and high temperature environments. Sensors in these environments face additional challenges from shock, vibration, and pressure spikes in addition to the usual application design requirements.

With an additional layer of shock-proof adhesive around the upper housing to provide enhanced robustness and increase the burst pressure resistance to greater than 40 bar (580 psi), the ABP2 HP/HT is designed and manufactured to address these challenges while maintaining the same key benefits that customers love and appreciate about the parent ABP2 product line. The HP/HT maintains the ABP2 series’ reputation for high accuracies, with error rates of as little as 1.5% full scale span.

Designed with versatility in mind, ABP2 HP/HT sensors are offered with the specific port and package types that are recommended for high temperature and high pressure applications. The sensors’ long-term stability and reliability make them a preferred choice for critical and sensitive systems, where minimising system downtime and reducing costly repairs is imperative.

As we continue to innovate in the realm of pressure sensing, Honeywell remains committed to providing advanced solutions that empower industries and improve standards worldwide. We look forward to seeing the impact of ABP2 HP/HT sensors across various applications.

Features:
The Honeywell ABP2 HP/HT is a cost effective, high-performance MEMs pressure sensor with high accuracy, reliability and long-term stability. Designed for tough environments where both high pressure and high temperature coincide, these sensors offer a wide range of configuration options, including various ports, packages, and output protocols, to suit the variety of applications expected within the market.

Applications:
The following are examples of applications whereABP2 HP/HT sensors are ideally suited:

  • Air Braking Systems
  • Air Compressors
  • Coffee Machines and Drinks Dispensers
  • Water Pumps and Smart Meters
  • Pneumatic Systems
  • Industrial Automation and Robotics Systems
