A sole condition monitoring sensor for temperature and air humidity

Turck Banner present the combined temperature air humidity sensor for condition monitoring in IIoT and sensor-to-cloud applications. It has an IP67 protection rating and ensures consistent quality by monitoring environmental variables.

Turck Banner Italia presents CMTH-M12 its first combined air humidity/temperature sensor for cost-effective condition monitoring in the field or in IIoT applications. The new sensor is very easy to integrate thanks to the IO-Link interface. The combination of the two measured variables air humidity and temperature in a single device makes the CMTH-M12 ideal for use in the condition monitoring systems of machines and plants or for monitoring the climatic conditions in production halls and warehouses in a wide range of sectors, from the automobile industry to the semiconductor and food industry, right through to agriculture.

IO-Link for transferring cyclical user data and warning messages

The sensor transfers temperature and air humidity as a continuous process value via the cyclical IO-Link process data. Two limit values ranges, each with a minimum and maximum value, are also provided. A warning signal can be output for these in the event of an out-of-range value. The bidirectional IO-Link interface can also be used for the transfer of cyclical user data as well as warning and status messages, such as operating hours. Conventional switching outputs are also provided as an alternative.

Decentralized condition monitoring solutions

When used in combination with Turck Banner’s multiprotocol I/O devices, user data and analysis data can be transferred over separate Ethernet protocols. While I/O modules transfer the user data to a higher-level controller via Ethernet/IP or Profinet, Modbus/TCP can be used as a parallel channel for analysis data. This information can also be provided for mobile access worldwide via Turck Banner’s edge gateways and cloud systems.
The new cost-effective sensor, which boasts IP67 rating, ensures consistent quality by monitoring important environmental variables, and it is easy to retrofit condition monitoring in combination with stand-alone control components in IP67 rating.
