Detect cable stress early on ... better and more accurately than ever before

The new smart plastics i.Sense CF.D module provides the first real alternative: Predictive maintenance of data, bus, or Ethernet cables by intelligently monitoring data transmission quality during operation. i.Sense CF.D monitors the performance of heavily stressed, failure-prone Ethernet cables at all times, showing the current status directly on the new multifunction module. In addition, the distance to the identified risk area of the cable is determined for the first time ever, avoiding lengthy, costly troubleshooting. You too can plan your next optimal maintenance and benefit from smart plastics predictive maintenance.

Tech up

• Monitoring data transmission quality
• Determine the distance to the overstressed area of the cable
• Multi-function switch cabinet module with OLED display for key cable parameters

Cost down

• Condition display without additional tools or software costs
• No time-consuming troubleshooting thanks to the distance meter
• Indicator for timely cable replacement – prevent unplanned plant shutdowns

Proof

• Ongoing test series in the industry's largest undefined for dynamic cable applications

Sustainability

• No extra cores needed
• Condition-based maintenance avoids unnecessary or premature product replacement

"The machine works with really high stroke rates, so we needed cables with high flexural strength. We also had to find a predictive warning system to keep this machine, with its high output, from breaking down, which would be costly."

Dipl.-Ing. Oliver Tausch, Head of Electrical Engineering, undefined

Whether in international automotive production, the global crane industry or regional wastewater plants: i.Sense systems are successfully used and maintenance costs are saved and machine downtime prevented.

undefined

• Condition monitoring
• measures pull forces acting on cables
• If there is a fault, the contact closes, and a notification is sent to the machine

• Condition monitoring
• Indicates changes in the electrical properties
• If there is a fault, notification is with contact and a signal
