SMC's new multichannel controller saves space by accommodating up to four air-pressure sensors from the latest PSE530 range.
SMC's new multichannel controller saves space by accommodating up to four air-pressure sensors from the latest PSE530 range.
Applications for these units include confirmation of vacuum, ejector supply pressure, placement, and leak testing.
When connected to other SMC sensors (PSE510 and PSE52), the controller will verify hydraulic or liquid pressure, rather than air.
The controller (series PSE200) is multifunctional, giving a wide menu choice: autoshift allows stable output even when supply pressure changes; autopreset automatically sets the pressure value; autoidentification will automatically identify the pressure range of a connected SMC sensor; each channel's information can be copied to another channel; each channel has an adjustable display; anti-chattering prevents malfunction, due to sudden erroneous pressure changes (response times can be selected at 20, 160 or 640ms); channel scan allows constant monitoring of the displayed pressure value for each channel; and reset, key lock and display of peak and bottom pressure values.
Wiring is simple and neat - the optional cable can be supplied with a tool-free press-in connector (a gentle push into the sensor input, on the reverse of the controller, and the lead snaps easily into place).
The connection cable is heavy duty, and halogen free (ISO14000 compatible).
In addition, the controller offers low power consumption at 55mA or less, giving energy savings, without compromising the quality of the LCD backlit display.
The pressure sensors (series PSE530) themselves offer a rated (high, vacuum, low, and compound) pressure range of between 0 to 2MPa (high pressure) and -101 to 101kPa (compound).
The sensor can be supplied with or without sensor cables and connectors, as options.
Standard port size is M5 x 0.8.
Sensor body material is stainless steel grade 303, internal enclosure is PPE (polyphenylene oxide), the sensor is silicon, and the O-ring is of NBR (acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber).
For verification of line cleaning, washing operations, priming of hydraulic cylinders, or suction of wet work, the series PSE52 should be specified, as it has been designed for hydraulic or liquid pressure.
