Diagnostic Functions of Isolators Explained—Five Frequently Asked Questions
We answer five frequently asked questions about the various diagnostic functions of isolators, explain their functionality, and show why they are indispensable for reliable operation in demanding industrial environments and explosion-hazardous areas.
Brownfield Digitization Made Easy: Ethernet-APL Meets Remote I/O
Find out how combined Ethernet-APL and remote I/O solutions can be used to integrate existing field devices in process plants into digital control networks.
Power Consumption and Power Dissipation in Electronic Systems—Efficient Isolated Barriers and Power Supplies
Learn how power consumption and power dissipation affect the energy efficiency of electronic systems, and how isolated barriers and power supplies from Pepperl+Fuchs contribute to improved efficiency and higher plant availability.
Condition Monitoring of Machine Bearings in Explosion-Hazardous Areas
Condition monitoring of rotating machine components in explosion-hazardous areas is becoming increasingly important. Learn how the KCD2-VR4-Ex1 voltage repeater makes predictive maintenance in hazardous areas easier and more efficient.
Retroreflective Area Sensors—Where Standard Retroreflective Sensors Reach Their Limits
Thanks to their wide detection field compared to standard retroreflective sensors, the R305 retroreflective area sensors reliably detect very small and narrow objects such as polybags on conveyor belts or even irregularly shaped objects such as pallets.
Vibration Diagnostics with Raw Acceleration Data Sensors
In vibration diagnostics, there are two different methods for monitoring the performance and condition of machines: While unbalance measurement based on Root Mean Square (RMS) sensors primarily aims at general machine monitoring, frequency analysis based on raw acceleration data enables a more in-depth analysis of vibration behavior.
