Author: EFFSEN | HONGKONG | Date: 2025-04-30

Carlo Gavazzi provides a comprehensive range of industrial and building automation solutions, covering sensors, relays, controllers, energy management systems, fieldbus systems, and more.

Its key product categories include:

1. Sensors

Photoelectric Sensors: For detecting object presence, distance, color, or transparency.

Inductive Proximity Sensors: Detect metallic objects without physical contact.

Capacitive Proximity Sensors: Suitable for non-metallic materials (e.g., liquids, plastics).

Level/Material Sensors: Ultrasonic, capacitive, or paddle-type sensors for liquid/solid level monitoring.

Ultrasonic Sensors: Non-contact distance measurement in harsh environments.

Magnetic Proximity Sensors: Detect ferromagnetic targets via magnetic fields.

Limit Switches: Mechanical switches for precise position/end-of-travel detection.

Motion/Presence Sensors: Infrared or microwave sensors for detecting human/object movement.

2. Relays & Switches

Monitoring Relays: Protect against over/undercurrent, over/undervoltage, phase loss, reverse phase sequence, frequency deviations, and power imbalances.

Solid-State Relays (SSRs): Zero-crossing, phase-angle, or PWM-controlled SSRs for AC/DC load switching.

Electromechanical Relays: General-purpose and power relays for high-current switching.

Pushbuttons & Indicators: Illuminated or non-illuminated buttons for operator control.

Time Relays: Programmable timers for delayed switching operations.

Current Transducers & Shunts: Measure AC/DC currents for monitoring or control systems.

3. Controllers & Digital Meters

Power Meters: Single-phase/three-phase meters for energy consumption analysis.

Monitoring Relays: Real-time voltage/current/power/frequency analysis with harmonic distortion detection (up to 50th order).

Switch-Mode Power Supplies: DIN-rail or panel-mounted supplies for industrial automation.

Timers & Counters: Programmable logic timers or preset counters for process control.

Digital Panel Meters: Display temperature, speed, current, voltage, resistance, or frequency with alarm outputs.

PID Controllers: Temperature/process controllers with auto-tuning and Modbus communication.

Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs): Compact, modular, or nano-sized PLCs for industrial automation.

4. Energy Management Systems

Power Monitoring Instruments: Measure voltage, current, active/reactive/apparent power, energy, frequency, and power factor.

Data Logging & Analysis: Real-time/historical trend recording via LCD displays or RS485/Modbus interfaces.

Submetering Solutions: Track energy consumption at departmental or machine levels for cost allocation.

5. Fieldbus Systems

Dupline® Fieldbus: A two-wire, long-distance (up to 10 km) communication system for analog/digital signals.

Industrial Protocols: Supports Modbus, BACnet, or proprietary protocols for seamless integration with SCADA/DCS systems.

Applications: Building automation, water treatment, logistics, parking systems, railways, and public infrastructure.

6. Safety & Protection Devices

Safety Relays: Monitor emergency stops, light curtains, or safety mats for machine risk mitigation.

Emergency Stop Modules: Force-guided relays compliant with EN/ISO 13849-1 and IEC 62061 standards.

Light Curtains & Mats: Opto-electronic barriers or pressure-sensitive mats for personnel protection.

7. Drives & Motor Control

AC/DC Drives: Variable-frequency drives (VFDs) or DC motor controllers for speed/torque regulation.

Servo Systems: High-precision servo drives and motors for motion control applications.

Industrial Motors: AC induction or brushless DC motors optimized for automation.

8. Power Supplies & Protection

ArmorPower® DIN-Rail Supplies: Ruggedized, short-circuit-protected power units for harsh environments.

DySC® Voltage Sags Protectors: Mitigate voltage dips/sags to prevent equipment downtime.

Control Transformers: Isolate or step-down voltages for control circuits.

Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS): Battery-backed systems for critical load protection.

9. Signal Conditioning & Software

Signal Interfaces: Isolators, converters, or intrinsically safe barriers for sensor/actuator integration.

Industrial Software: OPC servers (e.g., GuardPLC OPC), PLC programming tools (RSLogix Guard PLUS), or HMI configuration software (PicoSoft, UltraWARE).

Carlo Gavazzi’s solutions prioritize energy efficiency, safety compliance, and Industry 4.0-ready connectivity, serving industries such as manufacturing, HVAC, water/wastewater, and renewable energy.
