| Inductive Sensors –Safe on the Rails |
|
How can a small and unconventional sensor optimise the costs of a large installation? High system availability is just one aspect of many. A Chinese company uses uprox®+ sensors to monitor the electric traction system of railway vehicles. |
This example is to show how machine & system engineers as well as system operators are capable or reducing the costs of their technical processes with limited means.
Inductive sensors, which are easy to handle, play a particularly important role in the successful operation of a system and contribute significantly to process optimization. It is important not only to consider the individual component involved but to look at the entire process and its requirements. This is the only approach to gain appropriate insight into the complete costs of the process.
The future calls for a new mechatronic approach, also in this respect. In the final analysis, a large-scale problem solution has much more significance than the sum of the individual standard components used.
Monitoring and control of railcars
The XiNan Trunk Line Electrification Engineering Co. Ltd. in China monitors the overhead contact lines of railway vehicles. Recently, the company, based in the canton of Guang Dong, has started to work with uprox®+ sensors. The uprox®+ is ideally suited for this specific monitoring task, i.e. the detection and control of electrically driven railway vehicles. One of the main reasons for this is the novel construction of this sensor type.
It is based on the proven uprox® principle. However, the receiver and emitter coils are no longer coil windings, but printed onto the circuit board. The high precision of these printed coils clearly improves signal evaluation in the limit ranges.
