The Embedded Transponder Base (ETB), from HARTING, is a wireless device that can identify and monitor the condition of an object from a distance of several metres. It was previously possible to poll four discrete conditions; now, the latest model will acquire analog measurements independently of the fieldbus and provider and transfer them without wires or batteries.
Industry 4.0 means networking a wide range of components, facilities and IT systems. Rapidly moving objects and rotating objects could be difficult to monitor, as the sensor had to either feature a cable or a battery. The HARTING ETB is now filling this gap and transforming even rapidly moving components into Industry 4.0 components.
Axles, tools and transport systems receive a unique ID, as in the past. The system measures the current environmental conditions, such as temperature. This enables precise condition monitoring, which can then be directly used to optimise the process. It is easy to connect other sensors and switches to the product, enabling additional applications in the condition monitoring area.
