Hilscher introduces SensorEDGE
16/10/2024
Hilscher, a developer of innovative industrial communication products and services, has introduced two new Edge IO-Link masters to help customers modernise their machines and plants through instant IO-Link machine monitoring. The new devices can connect directly to Ethernet-based information technology (IT) infrastructures without the need to interface with existing communication networks and their control systems.
The new Edge IO-Link masters come in two versions:
- SensorEDGE: based on a central platform, this complete system allows users to remotely monitor up to eight IO-Link sensors. Requiring only a power supply and an internet connection, the SensorEDGE box transmits data into the cloud at one-second intervals for direct analysis.
- SensorEDGE Field: featuring two container engines and optional cloud support, SensorEDGE field connects up to eight local IO-Link sensors and includes an open computing platform for the user’s software with centralised management.
SensorEDGE devices combine computing power and IO-Link master technology in one IP67-rated housing. In addition, Hilscher’s centralised edge management platform allows users to manage the new devices easily, either locally or via the internet.
