HBK Solution Days — A New Era in Automation 

Our experts will begin with an overview of the automation industry:

• Overview of sensor technology within automation today

• Measurement data in the operational and information level of automation (OT/IT)

• Trends, options and future prospect

This part covers all you need to know about the latest in digital sensor technology:

• IO-Link - automation with Plug and Play 

• What is IO-Link? An overview of the basics and functionality

• Why digital sensors with IO-Link? 

• Components of the measuring chain

• Sensors, actuators, IO-Link master, gateway and other peripheral devices

• How do I integrate IO-Link?

• Advantages and limitations 

This session will help you get the most from your smart sensor tools, by taking an in-depth look at:

• Peak values

• Statistical functions

• Health monitoring and predictive maintenance

• Performance calculation for torque transducers

• Overloads and incorrect operation

• Calibration data on board

• No setting up of characteristics 

• Inexpensive cabling

• Easy installation and maintenance

• Suitable and unsuitable areas of application

This session details:

• Integrated filter stages

• Filling and checkweighing algorithms

• Self-monitoring of sensor-specific limit values 

• Digital switch output

Delegates will be divided into small groups to see the sensors in use and talk with HBK’s experts.  
Demonstrations will include:

• The new plug and measure era in sensor technology in automation

- Force measurements

- Torque measurements 

- Weighing

• Digibox

• Connection of IO-Link sensors to the control

• Discuss exclusively with our transducer and firmware developers 

• Individual advice for your project with IO-Link sensors
