THE FUTURE OF INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION

Optimise processes Design and mode of operation
This goal is playing an increasingly importantrole in the defini-tion and design of industrial systems and machines.Radio technologyoffers many advantages:flexibility of installation,information about moving and rotating parts,reduction in installation and standstilltimes,sensor technology directly in the manufacturing process,early faultdetection by integrated radio sensors.Maintenance-free radiosensors allow for many differentapplications and are revolutionisingthe processing sector. Our industrial switchgear are based on the innovative EnOceanradio technology.The energy required for the radio technology is ge-nerated from the process or ambientenergy.Examples for this freely available process energy are switching processes,light,vibrations oreven temperature differences.Through this method switchgear can be operated withoutbatteries – they are self-sustaining and aretherefore wireless and maintenance-free.steute offers radio industrial switchgear for the mostvarious applications.The radio switches draw their energy from a powerful, miniaturised industrial solar cell.Inside the compactEnOcean radio module in-tegrated in the switch there is also a tiny energy supply which securesthe autarkic function during day/nightcycles or shiftoperation in artificial lighting up to 2 days in darkness.The signal transmission is carried outon the licence-free SRDband (ShortRange Devices) at868 MHz at10 mW transmission power.On actuation of the switchgear a very shorttelegram is spon- taneously sentoutthatcontains an individual 32 bitidentificationnumber and the usable information.A safety protocol and multi-transmission of this information guarantees highesttransmission sa- fety.As an additional safety feature a periodic presence signal is sent in order to recognise interferences in the system early enough.The radio signals are processed by receiver units with integratedEnOcean radio technology.Assessmentof the switching information is carried outin the compatible receiver solution.Therefore specific in- dustrial receiver solutions with digital outputs for directsignal eva-luation,as well as EnOcean receiver terminals for industrial controlunits,e.g.the WAGO-System 750 are available.We develop specific switchgear concepts thatuse other energysources for the design of maintenance-free radio solutions.For exam-ple the energy drawn from the actuation of the switch itself.For spe-cial cases long-lived batteries thathave stand-by times of up to 10 years can also be used.Discuss your requirementprofile with us. Increase process quality
For example with radio position switches thatare applied wheremoving parts on machines and systems mustbe positioned,control-led and monitored. Reduce process times
For example with pull-wire switches thatare mounted in therightplace in no time atall and are applied to startmachines or to open and close electrically-operated doors,gates and fences. 8 8 Optimise process costs
For example with wireless door handle switches thatare appliedfor the unlocking of solenoid interlocks on guards and doors. Sensing rangeSight connection
