Smart Sensors

The compact Smart Sensor CSS 014 electronically records temperature and humidity and converts the measured data into a standardized analog 4 to 20 mA signal. The converted value signals can be utilized or further processed by a control or monitoring unit, e.g. a PLC control. The Smart Sensor is suitable for use in a wide variety of applications and can be used even in harsh environmental conditions, such as wind power. Analog interface Small size Easy clip and/or screw fixing High accuracy Quick connection (M12 plug-in connector) Large temperature and humidity range Various application areas

Smart Sensor CSS 014 It combines three functions in one: sensor, interface and transmitter. The most recent standards of microtechnology and microsystems technology (sub areas of sensor technology and measurement technology) used in intelligent sensors of small sizes, are the basis for our CSS 014. As an expert for Thermal Management and enclosure climatisation, we decided to get started with an intelligent sensor that records the ambient temperature and humidity. The specified temperature measuring range is -40 to +80 °C. We will offer different temperature ranges upon request. The measuring range for air moisture covers 0 to 100 % relative humidity. An intelligent sensor is, however, not restricted to temperature and humidity – it can also be equipped with additional functions, i.e. the calculation of the dew point, measurement of air flow, fine dust pollution or gases in general. The data that is recorded is converted into an electrical signal that can be further processed. Interface format is the digital signal IO-Link. The data is transferred to a control centre or monitoring unit via connecting cable or wireless, which makes the IO-Link Smart Sensor CSS 014 also suitable for remote monitoring. The recorded measurement data can either be logged at the control centre, or countermeasures can be defined and initiated. The complete process from recording data to data output is consolidated in one product, and goes far beyond the function of just “a sensor”. Another advantage of the Smart Sensor CSS 014 is that it cannot only be placed in an enclosure or switch cabinet, it can find use in any type of standard application within a defined atmosphere.
