The relay actuator is used to switch selected electrical consumers. A variety of functions can be switched via four potential-free contacts. The sWave.NET® wireless system and the Sensor Bridge connect the relay actuator simply and easily to the system. The Sensor Bridge serves as a central database for management of the relay status. As a standard feature it provides a REST-API via http(s) to establish the relay status and to request new status updates.

Highlights

• Integration in the sWave.NET® wireless system
• 4 independently switching relay outputs
• Extremely low power consumption (small 20 mA), thus very well suited to mobile applications

With the relay actuator, consumers such as indicator lamps can be switched in typical Andon applications. Due to the extremely low power consumption of the actuators, the devices are also used in mobile AGV in order to extend the running times of these vehicles. For example, an AGV can be woken by a relay actuator from its Deep Sleep mode. At regular intervals (usually 1 minute) the relay receivers are sent the status information needed to activate an AGV via the wireless system.

Andon push-buttons can optimize processes throughout assembly, packaging and dispatch zones. These devices facilitate an efficient flow of information and are used for tasks such as the manual notification of errors and requirements, as well as to request an automated guided vehicle to collect or deliver goods in intralogistics applications.

Highlights

• Plastic housing is resistant to alcohols, ester, diluted acids, diluted alkalis, solvents, ketones and household cleaning agents
• Power supplied by conventional batteries

These devices are easy to retrofit on FIFO racks or at work stations, making it possible to integrate them in existing processes at a later date. This in turn significantly increases process stability and transparency in the factory. High costs for power and network cables can be completely eliminated. The sWave.NET® wireless technology facilitates high overall transmission times and several years of maintenance-free operation. The three available buttons (for text messages) and the display duration can all be freely configured using the Sensor Bridge software.
