Carlo Gavazzi (Buffalo Grove, IL) announces an expansion to the successful PD30 Photoelectric Sensor family with IO-Link. The company is introducing four special application functions pre-programmed into these sensors: Speed and Length, Pattern Recognition, Divider/Counter, and Object and Gap Monitoring functions. Each has been developed to optimize common industry applications through design simplification, flexible configurations, and ease of maintenance/troubleshooting. Features and benefits of the PD30 IO-Link Series include:
ENDLESS CONFIGURATIONS:
Reduced inventory saves money and warehouse space
Higher accessibility on-hand (configurable from a single part number) increases uptime
Less need for customization saves time and money
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE CAPABILITIES:
Avoid downtime due to early warning capabilities and even schedule planned maintenance prior to failure
More accurate sensor performance from optimal setup
Faster troubleshooting using logging functions saved inside the sensor
APPLICATION FUNCTIONS:
Faster sensor response time due to algorithms directly in the sensor
Simplified machine control system layouts thanks to decentralization
Reduced programming optimizes production processes
