Smart Logger

The Smart Logger is the principal unit for data collection. The Logger has a USB connection to the PC and eight M12 connections—one for the power supply to the I/O, one connection for an incremental sensor, two connections for analog sensors and four connections for other I/O signals.

The Logger encapsulation is watertight, with M12 connections to prevent the entry of particles and fluids in the workshop environment. To prevent the Smart Logger from being damaged by incorrect currents and voltages from external equipment, all inputs and outputs, as well as external units, are electrically isolated from the processor in the Smart Logger by means of opto-couplers.

SM2 Button Unit

The SM2 is used in conjunction with the Smart Logger for measuring with a manual stop impulse, without an electrical connection to the machine. When an SM2 is, for example, pressed against an emergency stop button to stop the machine, the SM2 sends a signal to the Smart Logger to start the measurement. An LED on the SM2 lights when the desired stop position is reached. The SM2 is connected to the Smart Logger by an M12 connection.

SM3 Relay Unit

The SM3 is used in conjunction with the Smart Logger for automatic stopping time measurements at the set position, or alternatively a manual stop pulse. When a stop signal comes from the Smart Logger, a relay switches in the

SM3. The SM3 then sends a signal to the Smart Logger to start measuring, and also activates the relay outputs to stop the machine. The relay in the SM3 is reset via the software when a new measurement is to be made. The SM3 is connected to the Smart Logger by an M12 connection.

SM11 Flag Unit

The Smart Logger is used in conjunction with the SM11 for automatic measurements of the stopping time and stopping distance. The unit is located in a light curtain with the flag parallel to the beam. When the flag is activated, the light curtain or light beam is interrupted, and the machine stops. Installation on a table or a standard 1/4” camera tripod is suitable. The SM11 is connected to the Smart Logger by an M12 connection.

SM5 1250/2500 Linear Sensor

The SM5 is an incremental pulse sensor for connection to a Smart Logger. The sensor is protected by a robust enclosure. The sensor and end of the cable are secured to the machine by powerful magnets. The SM5 is connected to the Smart Logger by an M12 connection.

SM7 Rotation Sensor

The SM7 is an incremental sensor for connection to a Smart Logger. The sensor detects rotational movement via a wheel rolling against a shaft. The Stand secures the sensor with the aid of just one knob. The stand itself is secured to the machine by a powerful magnetic foot. The SM7 is connected to the Smart Logger by an M12 connection.

SM9 Carrying Case

The SM9 is a practical carrying case with pockets to suit the various Smart units. Part of the protective foam insert in the lid of the case can be removed to make room for a laptop computer, so that all the equipment required can be carried in a single case.
