Measure, Control and Regulate

Ensure correct feeding of your process media

IO-Link and simple unshielded standard cables ensure correct feeding of your process media. All you need is an IO-Link master to receive and pass along the data so you only use one bus address for the entire control circuit of the master assembly.

For example, for the oil feed of a hydraulic cylinder you can fully automate the measurement, control and regulation of all the relevant components – pressure-, temperature- and flow sensors, control valve and the hydraulic cylinder itself, which ensures the optimum oil flow.

The sensors measure the flow, temperature and pressure of the oil. This data is continuously passed to the variable regulator through the master, with the regulator comparing the data with the nominal value, initiating – if necessary – a readjustment and providing feedback to the controller.

Correct control of the hydraulic cylinder by the control valve is now possible. The master also passes this information to the controller, which in turn generates the positioning commands for the hydraulic cylinder. These commands in turn arrive where they are needed through the master. A great feature: you can wire the entire control circuit with unshielded, 3- or 4-conductor cables.
