Downtime can be reduced.
Notifies you of faulty parts and such phenomena in the Sensor in real time.
The frequency of sudden failure can be decreased.
The light incident level monitor prevents false detection before it happens.
The efficiency of changeover can be improved.
The batch check for individual sensor IDs significantly decreases commissioning time.
Three types of sensing methods and three types of connection methods are available.
Omron provides two types of Masters, a Master Unit with screw-less clamp terminal blocks and a Master Unit for M12 Smartclick connectors, as IO-Link compliant devices and Sensors for connecting to the screw-less clamp terminals or to the M12 connector terminals that support each Master.
∙ An abnormality was displayed on the abnormality display screen, but upon going to look at the equipment, no external error was detected and the cause of the stop was not understood...
∙ Those responsible for maintenance investigated the cause of the abnormality from the activity of the stopped equipment, but because the maintenance person relied on the skill he or she has to identify the abnormality and replace the failed sensor, stoppages from 2 hours to several days occur...
When an abnormality occurs in a sensor, because you can see where the abnormality occurred and the factors estimated for it, you can go to where the abnormality occurred and recover the equipment in the shortest amount of time. Also with wire disconnection detection, not only output wires, but also power lines can be detected unconditionally.
∙ In a conveyance process operating for 24 hours, dust or dirt accumulated on the detection surface of the photoelectric sensor, leading to a decline in the light incident level that causes the sensor to make false detection and the device to stop...
∙ Water drops stick to the sensing surface of the reflective sensor causing reflected light to enter...
With a response time of 1 ms, Photoelectric Sensor’s light incident level is output for monitoring. It is output when the light incident level exceeds the instability detection threshold, so you can check the site before false detection occurs and perform predictive maintenance.
∙ During system start-up or changeover, operators had to perform the I/O check for each of the thousands of sensors installed on the line, and it took an enormous amount of time...
∙ When a sensor is installed wrong or an error occurs, wasteful work occurred that would normally be unnecessary...
By checking the sensor identification (manufacturer/sensor type/model number), you can easily check mistakes such as misconnected or unconnected sensors and installation mistakes. Also, because it is possible to program multiple sensors at once using the command language used only for the controller, it is also possible to reduce commissioning time sharply.
Program all at once to reduce commissioning time and inconsistent settings
Makes it possible to check for sensor installation mistakes before commissioning
