EGE expands its GS series for plug connection of inductive proximity switches with metal-armored cables, adding a new M30 sensor adapter. GS junction boxes are designed for easy and safe connection of inductive sensors with heavy-duty plug connectors. The GS M30 sensor adapter has an extended temperature tolerance up to 90 °C and is made of stainless steel. Featuring a cylindrical M30 design, it is easy to install in dividing walls such as cable duct walls. The GS 125…250 series currently comprises three rugged junction boxes with two, three or four sensor ports for 3-pole K series Lemo plugs. The IP68-protected junctions in an aluminum housing are rolling oil proof and therefore even suitable for operation in industrial environments with emulsion fogs, which often cause short circuits in conventional terminal boxes. Power and communication lines are connected via a rugged multicore TPE cable. This enables correct sensor exchange in demanding industrial applications. EGE provides a wide range of inductive sensors for noncontact positioning, counting and detection of metal objects. The portfolio includes, among others, rolling oil proof PTFE, PP and PEEK sensors, including food industry versions, which are also designed for long lifespans and reliable operation under extreme conditions. Large switching distances up to 170 mm can be implemented.

EGE presents new air flow controllers with an IO-Link interface and additional temperature measurement. The sensors for gaseous non-explosive media are available in two designs: LN 520 GPL with a smooth sleeve with a 20-mm diameter and LG 518 GPL with a male M18x1 thread. They measure flow velocities from 0.5 to 15 m/s and temperatures from -20 °C to 70 °C. Limit values and additional operating parameters can be freely set via the IO-Link interface. The sensors store minimum and maximum values onboard. Color LEDs on the cable outlet signal the flow state, the reaching of set limit values and connection to an IO-Link primary, or support visual identification in larger systems by flashing. For further processing in SIO mode, the PNP switching output is available – and in IO-Link mode, the process data with measured values for flow and temperature. The flow value is output in non-linear proportion to the air flow. The air flow controllers feature IP67 protection and fulfill the current IO-Link specification V 1.1.3. Reaction times are in the range of 2 to 20 s for flow changes and <15 s for temperature changes. The LN 520 GPL model with a smooth sleeve is supplied complete with a mounting flange.

full text

Launching the new multifunctional IO-Link converter IOL-KONV-UIS-01, EGE presents a compact and simple solution for noise-free digital signal transmission from conventional sensors via IO-Link. Depending on its configuration, the converter registers up to two analog values (0…10 V, 4…20 mA) or switching signals from the connected sensor, converts them into digital signals and transmits them to an IO-Link primary device. In addition to the digital output for process data transmission, the device has a second, analog output for programmable current or switching signals. All conventional sensors from EGE and other manufacturers can be connected to the converter, regardless of operating principles and measured values. The IO-Link converter offers additional monitoring functions. If the power consumption or operating voltage of the connected sensor deviate from recorded setpoints, for instance due to corrosion, the device sends an error message to the controller as an IO-Link event. To protect its own electronics, the converter features temperature monitoring, short-circuit detection and an adjustable shutdown function in case of overload. A front-end multicolor LED clearly shows the operating status. M12 connectors for sensors and IO-Link primary devices eliminate any cabling effort. The IP67-rated converter housing features lugs for flexible mounting near the sensor in all installation conditions. The converter is parameterized according to IO-Link Device Description V1.1 using an engineering tool connected via the IO-Link interface.

EGE designed its dynamic SDN 501/1 GSP-DYN flow controller to detect minimal pulsating flow rates from 0.02 ml. Suitable for most common liquids such as water, alcohol, oils, and fluid greases, the flow sensor is ideal for monitoring minimum lubrication or ensuring that the right amounts of chemicals or additives are metered out. Since the sensor operates according to the thermodynamic principle, it does not have any moving or corrosion-prone wear-and-tear parts. Due to its high sensitivity, it reacts to changing flow rates – caused for example by the actuation of a dosing piston – with extremely short reaction times of 0.1 s. The sensor’s built-in processing unit emits a switching signal for each detected pulse via a short-circuit-proof PNP-NO output and can hold the signal for up to 10 s. In addition, green and yellow LEDs on the housing front signal the detected pulses and the current device status. Manufactured from stainless steel and PBT, the robust sensors feature IP54 ingress protection and withstand pressures up to 10 bar. They are suitable for media temperatures between 0 °C and 80 °C. The units are operated with 24 VDC. They are fitted into pipes via a tube fitting or a G? thread and connected by means of an M12 connector. Mounting angles are available as accessories. The flow controllers‘ compact design enables parallel installation of several devices with different monitoring functions.

EGE introduces a new generation of level controllers with guided microwave: the MFN series sensors feature an IO-Link interface and thereby enable continuous access of PLCs to process and parameterization data. Using a corresponding master, the level controllers can be connected to any common bus system and conveniently parameterized via PC or notebook. The guided microwave measuring principle ensures high reliability due to its insensitivity to external influences such as temperature, pressure, or density. It provides for precise measurements in liquids such as water, oil, and emulsions as well as in viscous media. MFN sensors stand out due to their particularly short reaction times in case of level changes. Their display units can be configured to show the measured level in mm, cm, inch, liter, or percent. The housings can be rotated by 360° along with integrated LED indicators and control panels, allowing users easy access for configuring the devices and reading measured values. The level controllers feature IP67 ingress protection and are designed for an ambient temperature range of -25 °C to +85 °C. EGE’s level controller portfolio includes variants with coaxial, single, and double probes for use in different media. The company also manufactures probes from special materials such as Hastelloy or titanium for use in aggressive media. Moreover, EGE also adapts sensors to customer-specific tank geometries and difficult installation conditions, on request.

For applications where water vapor is prevalent, EGE introduces the IGMH…GSP-D series of inductive proximity switches with IP68/IP69K ingress protection that tolerate exposure to superheated steam. The sensors are designed for continuous operation in liquid or viscous media at temperatures from -25 °C to +140 °C. In dry processes, they even withstand temperatures up to 160 °C. They are therefore ideally suited for cooking processes in the food industry, including moving and positioning conveyors, sieves, baskets, and boilers. They can also be used in sterilization processes. The sensors‘ high thermal resistance is achieved through a special sealing technology between sensor and connector and a stainless-steel housing. This construction ensures high ingress protection. M12, M18, and M30 proximity switches with nominal switching distances between 2 and 15 mm are available. Thanks to their integrated electronics, they do not require a separate processing unit. They are connected via a 2-meter silicone cable. This sensor family is complemented by the IGMH…GSP-W and IGMH…GSP-L series, which provide high-temperature sensors that resist high-pressure cleaning in dry processes and silicone-free sensors for paint and powder-coating applications. The portfolio also includes the IGEXH sensor designed for up to +140 °C that can be installed in ATEX zones 0/20. In addition, EGE offers to develop and implement custom, application-specific sensor solutions with minimal lead times.

The LDS 1000 series expands the portfolio with sensors for large pipe diameters up to 200 mm. Compressed air has many advantages as an energy source, but is also relatively expensive. Undetected leaks and unnecessary additional consumption may incur high costs. Sensors of the LDS 1000 series monitor consumption in compressed air supply systems via the robust differential pressure principle. They support a broad variety of options for energy-efficient monitoring and control of compressed air networks. All devices in the series clearly show the air consumption of a pressure-supplied area, machine segment or tool on a six-digit display with sensor keys at the front. Alternatively, an I/O-Link connection facilitates easy readout of measured values directly by a PLC, as well as convenient parameterization of the sensor from a PC or notebook. The robust immersion probes are resistant to dirt and provide additional measured values for pressure and temperature as well as leakage detection. Useful features such as a dosing function, hysteresis function, tampering detection, and a switch-off delay are also integrated. LDS 1000 sensors for measuring compressed air consumption are connected by means of a self-cutting screw for through bores. This allows them to be placed at an ideal immersion depth.
