Automation of wind turbines.
To survive on the energy market, wind turbines need to be powerful
and efficient. Besides high uptime, suitability for all climatic zones is
absolutely necessary. Plant operators have special demands on the
components installed to ensure that they stand up to different environ-
mental conditions. Besides high temperature fluctuations they include
shock and vibration stress. The sensors and systems from ifm electronic
are optimised for these different demands on performance – at an
excellent price / performance ratio. Diverse approvals certify their
reliable operation. Test us!

           detect the required technical data
           of the generator’s liquid-based
           cooling system. In this application
           the sensors are distinguished by
           easy setting, robust design and

           ratio.

Automation of biogas plants.
The alpha and omega of a biogas plant is its high capacity utilisation
which is based on reliable operation. Installed automation technology
must not only score due to easy handling but also due to high resistance
and fast availability in case of replacement. The plant manufacturer
and also the plant operator have a competent partner at their side with
ifm electronic. ifm sensors are known for their long life and reliability –
even with direct contact to the medium. Unique customer service:
Expert staff in technology and marketing support you with planning

Automation of solar tracking systems.
The solar panels of a photovoltaic system or the parabolic reflectors of
a solar thermal system are adjusted for maximum energy yield. UV rays,
sand, temperature fluctuations and humidity affect the sensors of the
tracking systems. ifm electronic is known for robust sensors for out-
door applications. Among them are various sensors for position detec-
tion. Once adjusted, they are maintenance and wear free. The sensors
from ifm stand out with their reliability, long life and quality.

To survive on the energy market, wind turbines need to be powerful and efficient. Besides high uptime, suitability for all climatic zones is absolutely necessary. Plant operators have special demands on the components installed to ensure that they stand up to different environ- mental conditions. Besides high temperature fluctuations they include shock and vibration stress. The sensors and systems from ifm electronic are optimised for these different demands on performance – at an excellent price / performance ratio. Diverse approvals certify their reliable operation.

Pressure hydraulic guide vane adjustment is power pack continuously measured by and displayed on pressure sensors of type PN and transmitted to the controller via a 4...20 mA analo- gue signal. The sensor also scores with high pressure resistance and drift-free operation up to 100 million pressure cycles. The submersible pressure trans- 5. Level measurement mitters of the PS3 series are per- upper and lower reservoir fectly suited for continuous mea- surement of the water level. The standard transmitter with 2-wire technology is designed for the robust use in sewage treatment plants, for example. The diffe- rence in height between the upper and lower reservoir, the height of fall, can be exactly measured and the signal be furt- her processed to control the weir. 16

Personal injury and damage to the plant can be avoided by e-stops with a built- in interface based on AS-i Safety at Work.

Rotational speed measurement speed generator of the generator can be imple- mented at low cost by means of the DD2001 monitor and an inductive sensor of type IE.

Photo source: Ferrostaal/Maier-Jantzen Automation of solar tracking systems. The solar panels of a photovoltaic system or the parabolic reflectors of a solar thermal system are adjusted for maximum energy yield. UV rays, sand, temperature fluctuations and humidity affect the sensors of the tracking systems. ifm electronic is known for robust sensors for out- door applications. Among them are various sensors for position detec- tion. Once adjusted, they are maintenance and wear free. The sensors from ifm stand out with their reliability, long life and quality.

Each angular position is assigned a coded numerical value in the absolute encoders of types RM and RN. Advantage: In the event of a power failure the absolute value saves a ”reference procedure“. Detection 2. To protect the solar panels snow load against too heavy snow loads, capacitive sensors of types KI and KQ are used. They are installed behind glass and detect the presence of snow. When the switch point is reached, a signal is transmitted to the controller which in turn activates a thawing system and the solar panel is driven into a vertical position.
