System availability has never been as affordable as it is today | i.Sense EC.W

The new i.Sense EC.W sensor (article number: IS.EC.W.FIX.E4.XX.BETA) makes more system availability more affordable than ever before. Thanks to the direct connection to the PLC machine controller via potential-free contacts, real-time status monitoring for your gliding energy supply systems is possible from just EUR 248.00 (DE list).

The lifetime sensor is mounted on one of the last opening bars on the fixed point side and records the current ACTUAL status of the chain side parts using sensors from igus' in-house 3D printing; either directly for the PLC system control or via an optional i.Cee module for comprehensive monitoring systems.

Tech up

• Line-based condition monitoring in gliding e-chain® applications
• Direct connection to the system control (PLC) via potential-free contacts
• Suitable for harsh, dark or dirty environments
• In many cases, no additional cable routing in the e-chain® necessary
• Comprehensive connectivity for integration into predictive maintenance concept with i.Cee

Cost down

• 80% cost reduction through direct connection to system control
• Reduce maintenance costs with predictive maintenance recommendations
• Avoidance of unplanned downtimes thanks to condition-based alarm messages

Proof

• The control cabinet module can be omitted if connected directly to the customer's PLC control system
• Ongoing test series in the industry's largest test laboratory for dynamic energy transmission systems

Sustainability

• Minimal material costs for integrated sensor
• Condition-based maintenance avoids unnecessary or premature chain replacement
