PRESS RELEASE

Innovative sensors now also determine correct positioningfor the world of Industry 4.0

(Wohlen AG, October 2017) The detection of ob-jects in systems is an important part of automation today. Objects have to be reliably detected and measured, as well as verifying that they are cor-rectly positioned. The scope of possible applica-tions is almost limitless and is continuously expand-ing (for example, detecting valve and flap positions, the position of PV panels for optimal exposure to light, the position of a ship's rudder, automation tasks in the machine-tool industry, etc.).

As well as measuring and displaying electrical para-meters, Camille Bauer Metrawatt AG offers position sensoring solutions for angular position and tilt measurements. These precision sensors are an important link between the mechanical hardware and control intelligence. Under the KINAX brand name, the product offering ranges from basic to the robust devices needed for applications in harsh environments Based on a unique measurement concept and housing design, the position sensors ensure very high levels of precision, reliability and durability. Their primary objective is to ensure that systems, productions and processes operate trouble-free over the long term.

HIGHEST EFFICIENCY - BASED ON OUR KNOW-HOWThe function of angular transducers from Camille Bauer Metrawatt AG is to capture rotational or trans -lational movement and convert it into an electrical output signal. The mechanical structure of the sensors is designed to withstand very high stresses and offers, in combination with the patented and wear-proof capacitive-based measurement process, measurement results that are reliable at all times. A plug-and-play system ensures that on-site commissioning is very simple. Even redundant measure-ments can be performed easily with the help of hollow shaft transmitter.

OPTIMAL USE - ALWAYS KNOWING THE POSITIONAs well as classical angular transducers, Camille Bauer Metrawatt AG' product portfolio also includes tilt sensors. Using the principle of the plumb line, these sensors capture deviations from the horizontal or the vertical, with reference to the Earth's gravity. The main advantage compared to transmitter in this case, is that the mechanical coupling is takes places directly with the object to be measured. The parameter settings are straightforward and performed on-site. No time-consuming calibration is re-quired and absolute measurement values are available at all times. In addition, the high quality of the housing material and the high degree of protection guarantee max-imum durability.

INDUSTRY 4.0 – PURE INNOVATIONWith the KINAX HW730 angular transducer, Camille Bauer Metrawatt AG now joins the world of In-dustry 4.0. Thanks to the direct Ethernet link via Modbus TCP, data consistency is ensured from the sensor up to the control and data centres. It should be noted that, thanks to the Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) technology, the operating voltage is sourced directly through the Modbus TCP. This completely eliminates the need for communication gateways and reduces the complexity, design effort and, above all, costs.

KINAX series of rotary transmitters and tilt sensors Robust – reliable – universal.
