Detect cable stress early ... better and more accurately

The new i.Sense CF.D module from smart plastics is the first real alternative to this: Predictive maintenance ... or the predictive maintenance of data, bus or Ethernet cables by means of intelligent monitoring of data transmission quality during operation.

i.Sense CF.D monitors the performance of heavily loaded, failure-prone Ethernet cables at all times and displays the current status directly on the new multifunction module. What's more, for the first time and as yet unrivalled worldwide, the distance to the detected danger zone of the cable is determined, which avoids time-consuming and costly troubleshooting. You too can plan your next maintenance optimally and utilise the benefits of predictive maintenance from smart plastics.

Tech up

• Monitoring the data transmission quality
• Determination of the distance to the overloaded cable area
• Multifunctional switch cabinet module with OLED display for key cable parameters

Cost down

• Visual status display without extra tools or software costs
• No time-consuming troubleshooting thanks to range finder
• Indicator for timely cable replacement - prevent unplanned system downtimes

Proof

• Ongoing test program in the industry's largest test laboratory  for dynamic cable applications

Sustainability

• No extra cores necessary
• Condition-based maintenance avoids premature product replacement

"Less effort, higher availability"

"The machine works with really high stroke rates. That's why we needed high-strength cables. We also needed to find a preventive warning system to avoid cost-intensive downtime on this machine with its high output."

Worldwide customer applications

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