Communication Unit for Open Network remote monitoring shorten start-up time efficient maintenance

Traditional methods of maintaining and remotely monitoring sensors are tedious and complex. “Isn’t there some way that sensors in remote such as clean rooms, can be checked without having to go where they are installed?” areas, “Is there some way that we can remotely change the sensor threshold values?” “We manufacture many different kinds of items, so we want to be able to automatically change the threshold settings to reduce onsite setup labor.” “We want to implement preventative maintenance so that we can use open networks to check sensor information.” “Is there a way to reduce the...

SC-GU3 Series Features Sensors are easily replaced without removing adjacent sensor amplifiers. Sensors are removed by simply sliding the sensor amplifier sideways while PUSH pressing on the connection unit lever. Install new sensors by simply sliding the amplifier into the array without requiring the removal of the adjascent sensors. Installation made easy by the adoption of optical communication Effortless Installation One-touch connectors are used to install sensor amplifiers, Installation and maintenance workability have been improved by for a simple installation while avoiding the need...

Sample program for CC-Link SC-GU3-01 Easy configuration of all connected sensors CC-Link/DeviceNet not only monitors the readings currently being received from digital sensors, such as incident light intensity or pressure values, but also transmits changes to sensor settings. * CC-Link has publicized the communication commands for checking sensor current readings and settings and for changing the settings. The downloadable sample program shown at right (screen and ladder) includes a method for checking basic threshold and display values and a sensor amplifier basic setting method that can...
