With the new SmartMod, IMS Connector Systems moves the condition monitoring of current, voltage, power and temperature directly into the connector. A PCB module with measurement electronics, temperature sensor and Bluetooth interface is integrated into the plug and socket of each M12 connector. Based on the measured difference cable breaks or missing voltage supply can be detected at an early stage.The measuring range is between 0 V and 36 V and +/–15 A with a measuring deviation of 0.1 %. The temperature range that can be detected by sensors extends from –40°C to +85°C. Sources of error can be easily localised, as each connector has a unique address that can be stored in the controller. The measured values can be sent to mobile end devices via Bluetooth at the field level and fed into existing networks for process and plant control via gateway or stored in the cloud and accessed via browser regardless of location. This makes the SmartMod suitable for integration into maintenance systems in order to automatically trigger alarms or maintenance routines when defined limit values are exceeded. IMS CS initially offers the SmartMod in A-coding as a 4-pole plug with 3-wire monitoring.
