Human Machine Interfaces | 5 All the information you need at a glance MULTI-PURPOSE SMARTLIGHT TOWER LIGHT AND SMARTLIGHT INDICATOR SmartLight is the first programmable LED tower light. With a rich color spectrum, adjustable light intensity and the ability to program individual configurable segments, the Balluff SmartLight can display various machine or process status information instantaneously. The mode of operation can be switched based on programmed conditions so that a single SmartLight can be used as a multi-function tower light.

Human Machine Interfaces | 7 Solutions at the cell level Process monitoring and machine status at the cell level is an integral part of manufacturing operations. Instantaneous visual feedback enables plants to operate efficiently. SmartLight adds tremendous value to the plant floor as it combines multiple modes of operations and functions in a single programmable tower light. With the SmartLight tower light and SmartLight indicator there are unlimited possibilities! 1 Light and sound indicators nn Programmable intensity and customizable bright colors nn Audible 95db sound modules 2...

Human Machine Interfaces | 9 Flexible, scalable, intelligent tower light for cell level information The SmartLight tower light offers four programmable modes of functionality: segment or stack light, level indication, run light, and flexible mode. Additionally, a SmartLight tower light with a buzzer option is available for audible feedback. STACK LIGHT MODE LEVEL MODE FLEXIBLE MODE SmartLight’s segment or stack light mode is feature-rich compared to a standard stack light. The number of segments and color for each segment can be programmed and changed on demand. Individual segments can be...

10 | Human Machine Interfaces Interfaces Human Machine Interfaces | 11 Flexible, scalable, intelligent pick-to-light indication At the heart of most lean initiatives is the desire for more flexibility with increased productivity. Traditional pick-to-light systems can provide that productivity but fall short on flexibility … until now. The SmartLight indicator with integrated photo electric sensors is the most innovative pick-to-light product available. All the functions from the indicator only unit are available in this unit. Integrated into flow-racks and supermarkets on the manufacturing...

Human Machine Interfaces | 13 Three segments Flexible, scalable, intelligent point-of-use indication The SmartLight indicator line consists of only two parts: an indicator only version and indicator with an integrated photoelectric sensor for Pick-to-Light applications. Both share the same powerful LED indication functions and an IO-Link interface with Balluff’s innovative expansion mode. This expansion mode allows two indicators to be connected to one IO-Link port. The LED indication functions are divided into six unique segments. Each segment can be individually controlled or utilize a...

Human Machine Interfaces | 15 Reduce complexity, reduce risk Generic stack light Reduce complexity Doing more with less is the foundation of our SmartLight product line. With one part number and one standard M12 cable you can fulfill nearly every task in your plant for cell level and point-of-use indication. Reduce complexity One part number ONE PART NUMBER The SmartLight tower light product line is comprised of only six part numbers—three sizes, with or without an audio alarm. That’s it. No need to build your own stack light anymore. One part does it all and much more. No need to terminate...
