Highly efficient maintenance

By having the configurations saved as “Configuration file” before equipment shipment, later on when it comes

to exchanging the sensors, the configurations can be simply written in to CC-Link. Also, exchanges can be

done easily with connection connectors without any extra tools.

At equipment shipment

When exchanging sensors

It is hard to keep track of the long-term

fluctuations in sensors even though a check-up of

status at start-up is performed.

Current situation

Adopting communication

By obtaining data and making them into a graph, it

is possible to view long-term fluctuation patterns

from which prediction of changes can be made.

If the light intensity continues to decline,

then it is time to exchange the sensor.

Changes in threshold value

Time

Preventive maintenance

Take in digital data such as incident light intensity or pressure value of sensors and graph them out for

preventive maintenance.

(e.g.) Light attenuated due to dirt on fiber sensor.

* To make a graph, it is necessary to compose a ladder

separately.
