• Pepperl+Fuchs Reveals Newly Integrated DeviceMaster® Products DeviceMaster gateways link the world of serial communication to IoT (Jul 06, 2021)

  TWINSBURG, OH (July 2020)—With the 2019 acquisition of the business of Comtrol Corporation, a US-based pioneer in industrial Ethernet communication and IO-Link masters, Pepperl+Fuchs expanded its portfolio of Industry 4.0 solutions. Enhancements include DeviceMaster gateways, which have recently been fully integrated into the Pepperl+Fuchs’ product line.

  With serial and industrial Ethernet translation capabilities, DeviceMaster makes it possible to integrate networks and systems otherwise isolated by separate protocols into the IoT world without investment in major equipment upgrades. The intelligent, rugged, and easy-to-use family of gateways ensure that the right information is available at the right time, paving the way for Industry 4.0.

  One Small Step from Serial to the Internet of Things

  The Internet of Things is everywhere. To compete in today’s high-tech world, plants and processes must be as efficient as possible. DeviceMaster industrial Ethernet gateways support the wide range of modern and legacy equipment available on the market. They can be used to easily link Ethernet-based controllers, SCADA systems, and HMIs with field-level devices such as barcode scanners, RFID read heads, weigh scales, vision systems, printers, encoders, and sensors.

  DeviceMaster servers and gateways are available with 1 to 32 serial ports with DB9 or terminal block connectors for DIN rail, panel, and rack mounting. They support RS-232/422/485, MODBUS RTU, and ASCII for device connectivity and MODBUS TCP, EtherNet/IP, and PROFINET for interfacing with PLCs and industrial Ethernet networks. An integrated web server makes it easy to configure network settings and port parameters for communication with TCP/IP and industrial Ethernet systems, while Windows^® and Linux drivers support PC-based applications.

  For large-scale applications that require many DeviceMaster gateways, the free configuration and management software, PortVision DX^® is the perfect solution. It allows serial devices to be managed, network settings to be configured, and module configurations to be cloned or saved as backup. This speeds up system configuration and ensures productivity.

  With the addition of DeviceMaster, Pepperl+Fuchs now offers all the components required for industrial communication from the sensor/actuator level to the cloud.

• Pepperl+Fuchs Surface Mount Inductive Sensor Designed for Maximum Durability The surface mount Pile Driver™ also offers a compact design (Jul 06, 2021)

  Twinsburg, OH – Pepperl+Fuchs’ Pile Driver™ metal face sensors come with a stainless steel sensing face, making them less susceptible to physical damage, including abrasion and impact. This rugged sensor series ensures increased plant availability in stamping or metal forming applications.

  As the smallest metal face inductive sensor available on the market, the Pile Driver features a compact housing design that fits into tight spaces unreachable by any other metal face product. The small sensor can be recess mounted 0.5mm in steel, with no effect on the sensing range. The surface mount Pile Driver offers 20 % more sensing distance than a traditional proximity sensor, while requiring only 1/10 of the mounting space.

  In extremely harsh industrial environments, inductive sensors are often exposed to mechanical stress that can shorten their life cycle which leads to increased downtime. When used in machine tools, for example, high forces, abrasion, and aggressive chemicals take a toll on sensors. For such applications, Pepperl+Fuchs’ metal face sensors feature a self-contained stainless-steel housing with a metal sensing face.

  Especially rugged, weld-immune versions of the Pile Driver are also available for demanding applications with high temperatures and and/or weld spatters. With a weld slag resistant coating and burn-proof cable versions, these types of sensors are ideally suited for use in harsh industrial applications.

  As the inventor of the proximity sensor and a pioneer in sensor technology, Pepperl+Fuchs is continuously developing new products and technologies that can be seamlessly integrated into unique applications. Benefit from Pepperl+Fuchs’ 60+ years of experience in inductive sensor technology.
