CAN bus problems with pressure sensors avoided: integrated Y-connector for harsh mobile hydraulics applications
| Eugen Gassmann | ApplicationsCAN bus pressure sensors (CANopen ® and J1939) for mobile hydraulics applications now offers an integrated Y-connector - an electrical connection that provides ruggedness and can survive in the hostile environment of trucks, cranes, excavators or agricultural …
Overview: How does the IO-Link work?
| Jürgen Reiser | Know-howHow does the IO-Link communication interface of WIKA's pressure switch PSD-30 actually work? IO-Link is a point-to-point connection (i.e. not a new field bus) between sensor/actuator and a field bus master such as a PLC. The supply of the field device (pin 1 and …
Integrated M12 Y-connector vs. external T-piece: Advantages/ comparison in CANopen pressure sensors
| Jürgen Reiser | GeneralThe main reason for using a pressure sensor with CANopen interface compared to customary analogue sensors is the low degree of wiring required and the high reliability of signal transmission. The data and power cables of the CAN bus are combined in a single shielded …
