The Temposonics TempoGate smart assistant for the R-Series V position sensors is designed to make existing and new applications future-proof and ready for Industry 4.0. The TempoGate smart assistant supports all R-Series V sensors with intelligent diagnostics and operational statistics. One TempoGate can be linked to as many as 24 R-Series V sensors with digital outputs EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, Powerlink, Profinet and SSI or available soon for up to 12 R-Series V Analog sensors. Once connected via power supply, the devices are able to communicate bi-directionally. TempoGate provides status information and settings of the connected R-Series V sensors and transmits them via OPC UA during operation. Equipped with an OPC UA server, TempoGate enables users to monitor additional sensor parameters and combine this information with other machine status data. The smart assistant is designed for permanent installation in a control cabinet and transfers sensors’ current details via LAN or Wi-Fi network to a graphical user interface.
