Key position
Proximity switches are key products in automation systems. Thousands of them are used in factories in the automobile industry and in machine construction, e.g. for the area of packaging machines, machines for the food and beverage industry.

Communication ...
... takes place in the 2.4 GHz band according to the standard ETS 300328 and uses a frequency jumping process for reliable data transfer. The input module, which up to 120 wireless proximity switches are allocated to, communicates the sensor signals via two antennas and transmits these to the machine control system via a FieldBusPlug (FBP). A maximum of 3 input modules and with these up to 360 wireless proximity switches can be used in one machine cell. A continuous function messaging of the sensors every 500 ms ensures maximum reliability and immediate detection of failures.

An overview of the most important features

The wireless proximity switches provide the same basic functions as conventional inductive proximity switches. However, they do not require any cable connections for the power supply and data transfer between sensors and machine control system. This opens up completely new possibilities for the construction of manufacturing machines. Particularly the high costs for wiring to connect a high number of sensors with the machine control system can thus be avoided. Furthermore, the reliability, safety and availability of a production system are considerably improved. The continuous presence check of each wireless sensor enables early fault detection and the time-consuming search for faulty cables is no longer necessary.

Energy transfer
The electromagnetic field used for transfer of power is produced by a power supply via primary loops. The individual power loop has a dimension of 1 m x 1 m to 3 m x 6 m. This results in a supplied volume of 1 m x 1 m x 1m to 3 m x 3 m x 6 m.

Advantages ...
... of the wireless proximity switches: > considerably reduced engineering costs > short commissioning times > high reliability and availability of the production system > high level of safety due to continuous presence check of the sensors

The assortment ...

... consists of 4 flush-mounting and 4 non-flushmounting, wireless inductive proximity switches. Depending on the size M8, M12, M18 and M30, nominal switching distances Sn can be achieved between 1.5 mm and 15 mm.

Design
The wireless proximity switches consist of two parts: the sensor head and the communication module which is identical for all sensors. The module obtains the required energy for the sensor function and the radio communication from an electromagnetic field.
