Recently, the 2019 World Sensor Conference and Exhibition with the theme of "Sensing the World and Winning the Future with Wisdom" ended smoothly at the Zhengzhou World Convention and Exhibition Center, with experts and scholars from more than 20 countries and regions around the world, business representatives and more than 300 well-known professional enterprises gathered in Zhengzhou to create a brand ecological event in the field of global sensors.
The conference was hosted by the China Instrument and Control Society, Henan Provincial Development and Reform Commission, Provincial Department of Science and Technology, Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology, Provincial Foreign Affairs Office, Provincial Association for Science and Technology, Zhengzhou Municipal Government and other units, and undertaken by China Instrument and Control Society and Zhengzhou National High-tech Zone Management Committee. During the conference, in addition to the main forum and 12 special forums, exhibitors also showed the latest effects of new sensors and intelligent sensors and the integrated use of the system.
In the event where the world's leading brands gathered, sensor brands with "Germany genes" attracted wide attention from professionals. At the exhibition site, the conference reporter visited the booth of ifm Electronics (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as ifm), and the staff had a warm and professional communication with media friends.
Founded in 2005, ifm is a subsidiary of ifm electronics in Germany and one of the world's leading manufacturers of electronic sensors in the field of industrial automation. It is precisely on the basis of the deep skills of this long-established sensor company that ifm has been committed to developing reliable sensors and providing comprehensive customer service as its corporate goal from the very beginning, and has regarded "quality" as a concept that means much more than the product itself.
In the communication, the staff focused on ifm's "five-year warranty", which is very rare for sensor products to be set to five years due to their small size, frequent use and harsh use environment. Why does ifm have so much confidence to overturn the norm? The reporter learned that 70% of ifm's products are developed and produced in Germany, and each of its products will be subject to final inspection before leaving the factory, and the company attaches great importance to the five-year warranty for each catalog product; Together all ifm production and development sites are established according to the same Germany high quality specifications.
In this exhibition, ifm not only brought typical use products, including identification systems, oscillation diagnosis and analysis systems, as well as fluids and other products, but also brought flagship products including ultrasonic sensors, photoelectric sensors, industrial buses and so on. The exhibits are complete, and the booth is full of people.
Under the trend of intelligent production, the digital transformation of the traditional manufacturing industry is becoming more and more intense. In its future plans, ifm will pay more attention to interoperability, connectivity and the development of low-power skills. According to leaks, ifm will focus on IO-Link. As the drafting unit of the agreement and the creator of the IO-Link World Council, ifm will continue to promote the innovation of IO-Link skills and the rapid development of global industrial industry, and then open a new chapter in the development of intelligent industrial automation in the world.

Signal discrimination method generated by vibration sensors – ifm
1. Distinguish according to the gap voltage
The oscillation sensor outputs a voltage signal that contains both DC and AC. The amount of DC corresponds to the uniform distance between the sensor and the probe, also known as the void voltage. The traffic corresponds to the oscillating signal. If the void voltage is normal, the alternating current is usually normal.
