Flexible Parametrierung mittels Teach-Taste oder IO-Link
Diagnosefunktionen: Time monitoring, cycle counter and seal monitoring
Flexible configuration
The Smart Valve Sensor enables application-specific setting via parameterization software (LR Device) or inductive teach button. The end positions of the valve can be taught-in freely and the size of the switching range can be set. In addition, a third switching point can be selected, which is used, for example, with three-way valves or to shut down the pump to prevent pressure surges.
Diagnostic functions
Thanks to the IO-Link communication interface, various wear conditions can be identified. First, the sensor has seal monitoring that reports changes in the closed position, indicating, for example, sticking or wear of the seal. On the other hand, the different positions can be counted and the time required can be measured.
