SICK: Multi Physics Box Condition Monitoring Sensors

July 12, 2023

The Multi Physics Box Condition Monitoring sensor allows for continuous condition-based monitoring of, for example, motors, pumps, conveyor systems or fans. It measures vibrations, shocks, and temperature, thereby providing indications of potential faults and machine failures. If the measured values exceed the individually configurable thresholds, an alert is output. For vibration values, the vibration monitoring thresholds for machines according to ISO 10816-3 can be implemented via a multi-stage alert.

The sensor can be integrated into the machine or system via IO-Link or a simple alarm-based switching signal. Whether on-site or in conjunction with a Cloud Service: The Multi Physics Box creates a data foundation that can be used to avoid unplanned downtime and effectively lower costs.

At a glance

  • 3-axis vibration (± 8 g) and shock detection (up to 200 g) via MEMS elements
  • Contact temperature measurement −40 … +80 °C
  • Configurable thresholds
  • Vibration monitoring in time and frequency domain
  • Vibration limit values according to ISO 10816-3
  • Compact stainless-steel housing up to IP68
  • LED status display
  • Switching output as alarm and IO-Link

Multi Physics Box Benefits

  • Reduce failures and operating costs using precise condition data
  • Intuitive data interpretation thanks to pre-processed values even in the frequency domain
  • Can be adapted by means of configurable threshold values for vibration, shock and temperature values
  • Simple parameterization and visualization via SOPAS Engineering Tool
  • Uncomplicated installation via magnetic plate or screw connection
  • High operational safety due to rugged stainless-steel housing

Banner Engineering: R50C Motor Driven Roller (MDR) Controller – Compact Plug-and-Play Motor Driven Roller Control

The R50C MDR Controller helps keep control of conveyors and other equipment in one system and gives system designers more efficient control of motor driven rollers using a PLC. Modbus communication, two configurable I/O channels, and a 0–18 volt analog output provide precision MDR control for a variety of conveyor systems, as the R50C is compatible with many different types of MDRs with integrated controls. Standard A-coded M12 connectors for sharing signals, and L-coded M12 pass-through connections for daisy chaining up to 16 amps of motor power, simplify installation of multiple motor driven roller controllers on a conveyor.
