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.
