What does a platypus have in common with inductive sensors? 🤔 More than you expect! The platypus has over 40,000 electric ⚡️ sensors in its beak. These enable it to detect and find its prey without contact. Inductive sensors detect metallic objects reliably and without contact and can monitor their position. Stay tuned, there's more to come! #InductiveSensors #detection

A duck-like beak, flipper-like limbs and a flat, beaver-like tail? 👀 Sounds like a fantasy animal? Well, it truly exists!   With this combination of features, the platypus is perhaps one of the most unusual and versatile mammals in the world. But it gets even better: Platypuses don't just dive into Australian fresh waters to find their prey – they close their eyes, nose and ears as they search. But how do they find their meal in the mud? 🤔   Equipped with thousands of receptor cells, the beak of a platypus can detect the tiniest movements, subtle electrical fields and the precise position of its prey without contact. Just like our inductive sensors reliably detect and monitor metallic objects with no-contact! ⚡️   Now we are curious about your opinion: 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐲𝐩𝐮𝐬?   Hint: It’s more than you expect! 😉   #InductiveSensors #detection

Live in the Siemens TIA Portal: How do I integrate IO-Link devices into my control system? We'll show you in detail - live and free of charge! 10 October 2024 | 09:30 to 10:15 a.m. | Michael Grollmus & Marius Edler Learn here step by step how to integrate IO-Link devices into the TIA Portal. Michael Grollmus from GROLLMUS and Marius Edler show you live how to integrate a Balluff IO-Link master into a Siemens S7-1500 controller, configure the IO-Link ports and commission a SmartLight. A major advantage of IO-Link is that it is an open and manufacturer-independent system. We will therefore also look at how devices from other manufacturers can be integrated. Topics of the webinar: ◾ Basics of IO-Link technology and its advantages ◾ Step-by-step instructions for integrating an IO-Link master in the Siemens TIA Portal ◾ Configuration of IO-Link ports and practical tips for implementation ◾ Live demonstration of the commissioning of a SmartLight ◾ Answers to your questions in an interactive Q&A session Who is this webinar for? Ideal for automation engineers, system integrators and all technology enthusiasts who want to expand their knowledge of industrial communication in the TIA Portal. Benefit from the expertise of our speakers and take away practical knowledge that you can immediately apply to your projects. Register now: https://lnkd.in/ehf7AA3z This is the opportunity to deepen your knowledge of the Siemens TIA Portal and to effectively integrate IO-Link devices. We look forward to welcoming you virtually!

It's that time again - the Virtual IO-Link Days are entering their second round. Concentrated expert knowledge on current topics relating to IO-Link - this is exactly what you can experience live in our 4-part webinar series between 10 and 29 October 2024. This time we take a closer look at how differently IO-Link can be integrated. Our IO-Link webinars 2024: ◾ Live in the Siemens TIA Portal: How do I integrate IO-Link devices into my controller? Here we get support from Michael Grollmus from GROLLMUS. ◾ In the second webinar, we move on from the classic control system to an alternative variant: IO-Link devices in the open platform ctrlX AUTOMATION. Christian Baar from Bosch Rexroth explains exactly how this works and what the advantages are. ◾ In the third webinar, Philipp Echteler will show us how IO-Link can also utilise its advantages in the IT world: IO-Link without control: How do I get the data into my IT world? ◾ Finally, we have a very special topic for you: IO-Link Safety. Marius Matz shows you the different approaches and why this can be a game changer for the installation of safety applications. The webinars will be hosted by Marius Edler. He will guide you through all four webinars and, together with the experts, answer any questions that arise directly and live.
