System availability has never been as affordable as it is today | i.Sense EC.W
New low-cost service life sensor allows cost-effective real-time condition monitoring with integrated potential output for direct machine connection for gliding e-chain systems starting at €248.00 (DE list).
The new i.Sense EC.W sensor makes more system availability even more cost-effective than before. Due to the direct connection of the PLC machine control via potential-free contacts, real-time status monitoring for your gliding energy supply systems is possible from EUR 248.00 (in Germany).
For this purpose, the service life sensor is installed on one of the last crossbars on the fixed end side and records the current condition of the chain side parts with sensor technology from the in-house igus 3D printing; either directly for the PLC system control or via optional i.Cee module for comprehensive monitoring systems. This means that i.Sense EC.W makes it easier to avoid downtime and increase system availability.

Tech up
- Cable-based condition monitoring for gliding e-chain® applications
- Direct connection via potential-free contacts to the plant control system (PLC)
- Suitable for harsh, dark, or dirty environments
- In many cases, no additional cable routing in the e-chain® is necessary
- Comprehensive connectivity for integration into predictive maintenance concept with i.Cee
Cost down
- 80% cost reduction with a direct connection to the plant control system
- Maintenance cost reduction thanks to predictive maintenance recommendations
- Avoidance of unplanned downtime thanks to condition-based alarm messages
Proof
- If there is a direct connection to the PLC customer control system, the switch cabinet module can be eliminated
- Ongoing test series in the industry's largest test laboratory for dynamic power transmission systems
Sustainability
- Minimal material requirements for the integrated sensor
- Condition-based maintenance avoids unnecessary or premature chain replacement

Lifelong condition monitoring
EC.W LoRa Solar separator with solar power supply
No more battery changes. The sliding feeder's abrasion condition is communicated with the LoRa radio transmission standard to i.Cee:box or i.Cee:plus.Energy is supplied from the solar panel. Graduated percentage service life information is provided across four sensor layers.

Integration into your network environment
Since the new EC.W sensor is part of the smart plastics i.Sense condition monitoring system, all of its data can also be evaluated in the i.Cee control cabinet module. These data can then be used to digitally control the system's alarm and escalation management.
The i.Cee module can be integrated into predictive maintenance concepts in a number of ways, from preventive service management, which schedules regular maintenance depending on use, to location-independent fault management, which immediately reports any unforeseen change via various mobile channels. All information is collated in a modern dashboard, online or offline in the local network, depending on the customer's requirements.
