EM600 - Advanced Electronic Sensors System Series
-
designed for hands-on study of industrial sensor technology and control in a user-friendly application-oriented setting
-
includes a student manual and instructor’s guide, which focus on the background, use and applications of sensors commonly used in industry
-
electronic control is done through use of a Programmable "Smart Relay” Controller with system components and hardware mounted in a configuration to replicate manufacturing operations
-
the "Smart Relay” allows the user to program and control up to eight inputs and four outputs simultaneously; unlike a PLC, the simplified logic programming software that is included with the "Smart Relay” requires no previous PLC programming knowledge enabling the student to focus his/her efforts on controlling the various sensors and applications without having to study PLC programming first
-
major sensor categories include photoelectric, proximity, specialty, and transducer; basic application types include conveyor, linear slide, drill press, stamp/clamp operation, and custom
-
with the EM-600’s flexible system design, choice of sensor types and applications, interfacing to Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and other external devices whether as part of an FMS system or stand-alone operation on a table or bench is as easy as "plug and play"
