Do mechanical limit switches no longer require a cable connection? Yes, exactly! Telemecanique Sensors' revolutionary wireless technology simplifies equipment communication. In places where cable installation is difficult, expensive, or undesirable, wireless limit switches are the perfect solution to ensure optimal equipment operation while significantly reducing installation time and costs. It is an ideal way to provide greater mobility for mobile machines and equipment.
Telemecanique's XCMW series limit switches include transmitters and receivers that communicate using 2.4 GHz radio transmission. The transmitter is self-powered, meaning no batteries are needed. The limit switch is equipped with a “dynamo” generator that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. This energy is sufficient to send a coded radio message (2.4 GHz ZigBee protocol) in pulses to one or more receivers located several dozen meters away. Each transmitter has a unique identification code, and before operation, it must be paired with the desired receiver by performing a simple training procedure using two buttons on the front panel of the receiver.
Telemecanique's XZBW series wireless transmitters and receivers are designed for use with a wide range of sensors. The XZBW series transmitter is compatible with all PNP, NPN sensors, and mechanical limit switches. It is equipped with a standard M12 connector input, which provides power to the connected sensor or switch from a 24 Vdc network. The XZBW series wireless transmitters and receivers communicate using 2.4 GHz ZigBee radio transmission. Each transmitter has a unique identification code, allowing for optimal management of each device. Before operation, each transmitter must be paired with the desired receiver by performing a simple training procedure using two buttons on the front panel of the receiver.
