Sensor settings can be adjusted during or after installation using a teach pad or, depending on the variant, IO-Link.<\/p>\n<p>P8S CPS sensors continuously supply data via analogue signals, IO-Link process data or flexible switching point (an LED indicates the output state).<\/p>\n<p>The continuous transfer of position data serves to upgrade the functionality of pneumatic cylinders and drives by making them more intelligent and, as a result, more versatile.<\/p>\n<p>With this in mind, it is possible to solve engineering challenges in areas such as quality monitoring and process control, particularly in consumer goods markets like packaging.<\/p>\n<p>Handling and small-part assembly, machine building, and electronic and solar applications will also benefit.<\/p>\n<p>Both analogue and IO-Link versions are available in measuring ranges from 32 to 256mm. The operating temperature range is -25 to +75\u00b0C, while the enclosure is rated to IP67.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Parker Hannifin is supporting Industry 4.0 initiatives with its new P8S CPS series of \u2018smart\u2019 sensors for pneumatic cylinders.
