The Guangzhou International Industrial Automation Technology and Equipment Exhibition (SIAF) has successfully concluded on March 12, and the number of exhibitors has reached a record high, and we have also felt the enthusiasm of visitors for ifm's booth and products.
During the exhibition, we shared the concept and practical application of ifm's "Sensing the Pulse of Equipment, Shaping the Digital Factory" through a discussion forum.
Through the combination of ifm software and hardware and mature IO-Link technology, real-time data collection, remote monitoring, timely measures to deal with adverse conditions, achieve predictive maintenance, avoid equipment downtime without warning, affect the overall efficiency of production, and shape the digital factory in the environment of Industry 4.0.
Through the integration of position, fluid, vibration and many other products of intelligent fluid equipment, integrated O3D vision camera and RFID simulation forklift, IO-Link Tank food-grade solutions and optoelectronic ultrasonic, AS-i bus, mobile machinery products and many other hardware and LR software collective appearance, the exhibition showed the audience the ifm product family and how to use our smart products to provide you with overall application solutions.
The point cloud captured by the ifm O3D ToF camera is transmitted to the controller, which captures the horizontal position movement and angular changes of the pallet, enabling efficient and precise forking of the load even when the pallet is moved.
UHF RFID products can detect the front pallet in the simulated AGV, identify the pallet number and the cargo information on the pallet, so as to count the goods on the pallet and compare it with the data in the database.
Through this SIAF exhibition, we have the opportunity to communicate face-to-face with users in South China, so that they can have a deeper understanding of the potential and great energy of ifm's innovative products, and hope to solve more difficulties for users through our smart products.

Precautions for measuring hydrogen with pressure transmitters – ifm
Hydrogen is a colorless and odorless gas, with a density of 0.09 g/L (the lightest gas) under standard conditions, and is poorly soluble in water. At -252 °C, it becomes a colorless liquid, and at -259 °C, it becomes a snowflake-like solid.
When measuring hydrogen, pay attention to:
Hydrogen...

Method for measuring torque using angle sensors – ifm
It is difficult to measure torque on a rolling shaft, and there are several ways to do it. The most common method is to derive the torque from the energy required by the rolling shaft. In general, this means measuring the current of the motor that drives the rolling shaft. This is sketchy but inaccurate, as ...

Range, accuracy and installation of load cells – ifm
1. The scale of the sensor:
(1) In normal use (static test or quasi-static test, the frequency of use is not high), the scale of the sensor should be selected to consider the force value of the measurement, but also consider the weight of the auxiliary tool (test fixture) and so on.

Common faults in ifm encoders
1. Encoder own problem: It refers to the problem of the encoder's own components, resulting in its inability to generate and output correct waveforms. In this case, the encoder needs to be replaced or its internal components repaired.
2. Encoder connection cable problem: the probability of this problem is high, and the maintenance is under repair.

Zero drift of pressure sensors – ifm
Zero drift is an important indicator that affects the function of the pressure sensor, so when the problem occurs, we should pay attention to it, so what is zero drift? Zero drift refers to when the input signal of the expansion circuit is zero, due to the influence of temperature changes, power supply voltage instability and other factors, so that ...

Wireless sensor network implementation method – ifm
1. Traditional communication protocol flooding. The message is sent to a nearby node in the form of a broadcast, and the node that receives the information continues to broadcast in the same way until the audio reaches its destination.
Pros: Simple and easy to do, no maintenance required.
Cons: A certain node may ...

Introduction to sensor design tips – ifm
1. Start with the bus east and west
As a first step, the engineer should take the approach of first interfacing the sensor, which is through a bus stuff to constrain the ignorance. A bus thing connects to a personal computer (PC) and then to the sensor for I2C, SPI or other ...

Precautions for the installation of high-frequency pressure sensors – ifm
The depth of the internal thread of the installation with the sensor should be greater than the length of the external thread of the sensor itself, so as to avoid the sensitive diaphragm of the sensor pushing to the bottom of the internal thread, so that the sensor is affected by stress.
If the size of the internal thread has been ...

The cause of sensor interference – ifm
1. The PCB layout board touches the problem, and when the imitation signal is traced, the imitation signal is not wrapped with imitation, and there is even a possibility that the signal line is directly taken to the power line, which is easy to receive disturbance.
Solution: When it is a board, wrap the GND to imitate the signal line. If there is a model ...
