Digital Display Proportional Valve Driver Power is Present - Settings are Accurate - Input is Correct - Output is Correct
The Proportional Valve Driver supplies a solenoid with a current proportional to the input signal from a potentiometer, PLC or other control system.
Features and Benefits - Easy setup and offers full control - Adjustable settings without additional hardware or software - Fully compatible with all solenoid proportional valves - Wide range of supply voltage - Two digit seven segment LED display - Load can be connected and disconnect live - Easy troubleshooting
Coil Saver/ Fast Shift Timer The coil saver provides fast shifting of a solenoid valve at full voltage levels for a short period of time; then the operating voltage is reduced to a holding level.
RESULT: Saving energy, reducing heat and increasing the coils lifespan.
ON/OFF Plug The ON/OFF plug controls a coil using a low-current voltage command, provides reverse polarity, and short circuit protection.
RESULT: High current control output is not required.
Lynch Electronic Sensors Inductive, Photoelectric & Magnetic
Inductive Sensors Depending on the type, Lynch inductive devices work according to one of three different technologies. All have in common the generation of an alternating magnetic field, which emanates from the sensing face. When a conductive, generally metallic, object enters into this field, the latter is influenced in a way that can be detected and evaluated by the built-in electronics.
Photoelectric Sensors The devices are built into stainless-steel housings, and fully potted under vacuum. The device uses a light-emitting diode (LED) to emit a beam of modulated light towards a target which is detected when the beam is interrupted and partially reflected back to the sensing face of the device. The optical part works with parabolic mirrors (no lenses), which allows for full potting without degradation of the optical characteristics, thus providing the best long-term reliability in difficult environments. The electronic module uses chip-on-board technology on a ceramic-free substrate, and is therefore in sensitive to shock and deformation.
Magnetic Sensors As the term magnetic switches suggests, these are operated by magnetic fields; another description widely used is magnetic "SENSOR". As our eyes sense change of light, our ears sense the change of sound, magnetic switches/sensors sense the change of magnetic flux in Pneumatic and Hydraulic cylinders. When magnetic switches sense a magnetic field it will give a switching signal, through a control circuit, allowing sensing or control operation to be achieved.
