New Product Launch | IO-Link Pressure Sensor

In the field of modern industrial automation, the application of IO-Link technology is becoming an important trend. As an efficient communication protocol, IO-Link offers a simple, cost-effective solution for data exchange and communication between devices. Tianjin Sentinel Electronics Co., Ltd. has recently launched a new pressure sensor that utilizes IO-Link technology, elevating traditional sensor functions to a new level.

Advantages of IO-Link Technology

The greatest advantage of IO-Link technology lies in its flexibility and scalability. It supports point-to-point communication, directly connecting smart devices (such as sensors and actuators) to the control system without the need for complex wiring or configurations. This mode of communication simplifies the installation process, reduces hardware requirements, and lowers costs. Additionally, IO-Link technology supports real-time data exchange, which is crucial for monitoring and controlling the production process. It provides device status, diagnostic information, and detailed sensor data, making system operations more efficient and transparent. Also, its excellent compatibility and standardization ensure seamless integration of devices from different manufacturers.

Product Features

Combining IO-Link technology, the new pressure sensor from Tianjin Sentinel Electronics Co., Ltd. showcases several innovative features:
 

• A measuring range of -1…600 bar, suitable for a variety of industrial applications.
• Customizable output modes, including PNP/NPN, normally open/normally closed settings, and dual switch output options.
• Large digital tube display, clearly visible within a 3-meter distance, supports mirror display, enhancing data reading convenience and accuracy.
• The new panel is made of integrated injection molding, resistant to high-pressure water jet spraying.
• 304 stainless steel casing, capable of 300° rotation, facilitating installation.

IO-Link Predictive Maintenance

The sensor, through IO-Link technology, converts the millivolt signal of pressure directly into a digital quantity, achieving high-precision data transmission and strong anti-interference capabilities. In addition, some data of the sensor itself (internal temperature, working hours, etc.) are also "packaged" and sent to the PLC. This additional information can be used for predictive maintenance of the equipment.

For example, a pressure sensor in a hydraulic station might indicate "internal temperature too high" while the pressure signal output is normal, drawing the user's attention to take measures to prevent potential equipment failure.
With self-diagnostic capabilities, the sensor simplifies the maintenance process. By timely diagnosing and reporting potential issues, it significantly reduces equipment downtime and maintenance costs, thus improving production efficiency.

Tianjin Sentinel Electronics Co., Ltd.'s application of IO-Link technology in their new pressure sensor not only enhances communication efficiency and data precision but also simplifies the maintenance process. This not only allows users to improve production efficiency but also significantly reduces operational costs. This marks a step towards more efficient and intelligent sensor technology.
