Your automation, our passion.
Pepperl+Fuchs released the next generation of Data Matrix positioning—the PXV series. How does this Data Matrix positioning system differ from the proven PCV absolute positioning system?
Industry 4.0 applications require sensors that are able to communicate with PLCs and higher-level SCADA or cloud systems. Pepperl+Fuchs IO-Link masters with MultiLink™ technology enable smarter factories.
The safety integrity level, or SIL for short, is an indicator that makes risk reduction quantifiable. Plant and machinery can pose risks that are so dangerous that people and the environment should not be exposed to them under any circumstances. In this blog article, we look at three misconceptions about SIL.
Double sheet sensors are used to monitor layers of materials as they are fed into machines. While the default settings for Pepperl+Fuchs’ double sheet sensors are suitable for over 90% of all usable materials, it is important to consider the following factors before choosing which settings to use: environmental conditions, material characteristics, and alignment accuracy. Each of these can affect measurement accuracy in double sheet detection and must be accounted for.
Digitalization can be daunting. But with the right technologies, you can prepare your factory for Industry 4.0 and build IIoT networks.
Wherever extreme temperatures, heavy contamination, aggressive substances or mechanical loads prevail, connectors must be sufficiently rugged and resistant. In this blog post, you will learn which tests our connectors for mobile equipment applications have to pass in our in-house test laboratory.
IO-Link master with OPC UA interface create a uniform basis for continuous information exchange from the field to the cloud. In this article, we will show you what applications are possible with the open data exchange standard.
Highly automated systems in sensitive areas of the process industry must ensure that pumps, valves, and active cooling systems are switched on safely at all times. In this blog post, we explain the advantages plant operators have with using line fault transparency (LFT) modules from Pepperl+Fuchs.
What exactly means Industry 4.0? In this blog post, we give an overview of the past Industrial Revolutions that have brought us to this point and outline how Pepperl+Fuchs is involved in Industry 4.0.
Storage tanks and silos in many different industries require overfill prevention and continuous level measurement to prevent equipment damage and downtime. This means a broad range of materials, such as chemicals, sludge, and gravel, must be reliably detected to maintain optimal process flows. Ultrasonic sensors from Pepperl+Fuchs are designed to detect and measure the fill level of liquids and solids, no matter their storage location.
