Ethernet interface
SCTMi Ethernet communicates at field level
Complex manufacturing processes require intelligent systems that work in absolute synchronization and need to communicate with each other in real time.
For this case, Schmalz has equipped the SCTMi compact terminal with an Ethernet interface. The SCTMi Ethernet is part of the Connect product range and is the first smart field device from Schmalz to have an Ethernet interface instead of an IO-Link interface. This allows it to communicate via the Industrial Ethernet standards EtherCat, EtherNet/IP and ProfiNet, which are designed for high real-time capability and robustness. Bidirectional parameterization and diagnostics are possible in all common fieldbus systems. The recorded data can be viewed and used right up to the control level. Data and parameters can also be transferred directly via smartphone or tablet using NFC technology, independently of communication with the system controller.
