IO-Link Master
The J‑SEN 4.0 uses IO-Link – a globally established communication standard for reliable point-to-point connection between sensor and control system. Sensor parameters are individually configurable via IO-Link – this requires an IO-Link master.
To integrate the sensor into higher-level systems, a dedicated IODD (IO Device Description) is available. It contains all relevant sensor information and is specifically adapted to the J‑SEN 4.0.
Data exchange takes place both cyclically, in the form of configurable process data, and acyclically, for example for maintenance and diagnostic data. This ensures continuous monitoring and seamless integration of the sensor into modern automation environments.
Stroke Monitoring
The J‑SEN 4.0 enables continuous monitoring of the vibration amplitude and delivers an output signal as soon as a defined threshold is exceeded. The system is suitable for detecting standstill conditions and is compatible with all types of vibrating machines.
Additionally, the J‑SEN 4.0 allows for multiple measurements – for example, simultaneously in longitudinal and transverse directions – to gain a comprehensive picture of vibration behavior.
OSCILLA Family – Spannwell Screens
For the OSCILLA Family Spannwell Screens, two J‑SEN 4.0 sensors are used to independently record the stroke of the inner and outer frame. By precisely measuring both components, the relative motion between the frames can be calculated with high accuracy. This enables a detailed analysis of motion dynamics and supports reliable condition monitoring of the machine.
Circular Motion Screen
In circular motion screens, two J‑SEN 4.0 sensors capture the circular motion with precision. This dual measurement enables accurate analysis of vibration parameters and supports both optimization of the screening process and condition monitoring of the machine.
Separation Trough with Adjustable Vibration Angle
Two J‑SEN 4.0 sensors are mounted at a 90° angle to precisely measure the inclination angle of the separation trough.
Continuous measurement and accurate calculation of the angle allow the vibration behavior to be monitored, analyzed, and optimized specifically for the separation process.
Control of Resonance Conveyors
By implementing a closed-loop control system, the operation of a resonance conveyor can be actively regulated. The J‑SEN 4.0 functions as a feedback sensor to continuously monitor the actual vibration amplitude.
Based on this feedback, the drive power can be automatically adjusted – ensuring maximum process stability and energy efficiency.
