SMC’s ITV series is a range of electro-pneumatic regulators/electric vacuum regulators offering stepless control of air pressure in proportion to electrical signals. The range recently recieved an IIoT upgrade to include IO-Link functionalities.
Shaun Collett, SMC Corporation NSW state manager said SMC’s R&D department placed great emphasis on further enhancing its key product ranges in-line with mandates around energy savings, IIoT functionalities and space savings.
“We take the requirements of our customers to heart. Globally, our team of sales engineers’ feedback regarding customer requests, and we develop our products accordingly.
“The ITV series is yet another popular component in the range that required a new age ‘facelift’ to meet the ever-changing needs of SMC’s customers,” said Collett.
ITV’s key benefits include:
- Make it simple: the series offers dynamic control of air pressure by means of electrical signals;
- IO-Link: customers can exchange data and parameters remotely via a network of their choice;
- less space required: the ITV series boasts a compact and lightweight design, with integrated LED display;
- IP-rated enclosure: the ITV series enclosure is IP67 rated to protect against water and dust, and
- energy savings: the series has a power consumption of just 4W or less, which is particularly important in a time where energy prices continue to soar.
“The ITV series also offers a sensitivity range of 0.2kPa, linearity of +- 1 per cent or less and a hysteresis of 0.5 per cent or less. It’s compatible with communication models like CC-Link, DeviceNet, PROFIBUS DP, RS-232C, IO-Link,” said Collett.
