PRODUCT NEWS 6 IEN EUROPE INDUSTRY NEWS Yaskawa & Omron: New forms in European cooperation strategies Yaskawa Electric Europe GmbH (YEG) and Omron Europe B.V. (OEE) have agreed to terminate their joint venture and to replace it by a new mid-term European partnership agreement effective 5th October 2009. In order to grow the market shares further, YEG and OEE have decided to build a new basis for a partnership. For that reason YEG will strengthen its direct sales activities to expand direct key account sales, whereas OEE will further strengthen its focus on the industrial automation business. Small motor market The global economic downturn is forecast to create a 23% contraction of unit shipments in the world market for small motors in 2009, according to the new IMS Research report. However, because of the growing importance of the medical sector, which currently accounts for 19% of the market, IMS Research expects a recovery to pre-recession levels of activity by early 2012. Fieldbus Foundation releases new test kits The Fieldbus Foundation announced the release of its latest FOUNDATION fieldbus conformance and interoperability test kits for use by plant automation equipment suppliers. The updated test kits include the H1 Interoperability Test Kit (H1-ITK) 5.2.0 and High Speed Ethernet Conformance Test Kit (HSE-CTK) 2.0.1.

IEN MEETS IEN Europe interviews Peter Heimlicher CEO at Contrinex IEN: Mr. Heimlicher, first and foremost Contrinex is known as a supplier of inductive sensors for applications under harsh conditions. What are the key industries for those sensors? Heimlicher: All-metal sensors are primarily used in the metal working industry, where they have to operate under especially harsh conditions, as well as in the food & beverage industry and in offshore applications. High-pressure sensors, on the other hand, are frequently used in cement processing and hydraulic applications. IEN: In the spring of 2007, you launched your robust, all-metal RFID system. How was the new product received by the market, and in which areas has it been applied up to now? Heimlicher: RFID systems are very complex systems, which require a rather demanding and time-consuming marketing. Typical applications are, for example, the rough, metal-cutting and oil-containing conditions in the automotive industry. The tags mounted to the work piece carriers contain data related to the specific product, as well as information on the manufacturing process. Heimlicher: The label Made in Switzerland is still very important for our customers, in the established as well as in the so-called emerging markets. IEN: Last year you have expanded your product portfolio by safety light curtains for finger and hand protection. Will safety sensors gain more importance for Contrinex in the future, and will the safety products even be expanded to other areas? Heimlicher: Yes, the product launch of safety light curtains for access control is still planned for this year. Furthermore, our portfolio of safety products will be expanded continuously in the future. IEN: Contrinex, among 34 other companies, is a member of the IO Link Consortium. In brief, IO Link is a multivendor industrial standard that provides for a continuous communication from the control to the field level, which facilitates the transmission of process, parameter and diagnostic data. Which products and solution do you offer in this area, and how have they been received by your customers? As the products have to operate in applications under harsh conditions, Contrinex uses its all-metal technology for the manufacturing of the ConIdent RFID system. Heimlicher: Currently, our new fiber-optic amplifiers with digital display LF#-3066-403 are available with IO Link interface. In the future, IO Link versions will be offered for most of our new products, as well as for ASIC-based sensors. At present, the demand for those products is rather moderate, but I am sure that this will change with the expansion of the IO Link product range. IEN: Mr. Heimlicher, thank you very much for the interview. 29856 at www.ien.eu IEN: After your mid-decade expansion in emerging markets such as Brazil, China and India, your focus shifted to Europe again in 2007 and 2008, with investments in Italy, France, Hungary and Germany. How important is Europe for Contrinex as a company location and market? Heimlicher: Europe, and here especially Germany, is still the biggest market for us and thus of crucial importance. IEN: In times of price decline on the sensor market and quality assimilation on an international level: Does the label Made in Switzerland still count for your customers? 8 IEN EUROPE FACTS & FIGURES Founded: 1972 Employees: 500 Headquarters: Givisiez, Switzerland Main products: inductive, photoelectric, ultrasonic, and capacitive sensors, RFID, safety, connectivity Presently, the Safetinex light curtains offer solutions for finger and hand protection.

TECHNOLOGY SPECIAL TEST & MEASUREMENT, SENSORS TEMPERATURE MONITORING & SENSOR CONFORMANCE in clinical & laboratory sterilizers Autoclave sterilizers present temperature sensors with a very demanding operational environment in terms of high levels of pressure and moisture. Temperature sensors specified for autoclave applications, usually type T thermocouple or Pt100 thermometer, must be specially designed and constructed for such environments; reliability, accuracy and stability are essential for ensuring safe sterilization procedures. Sterilizer temperature sensors The Labfacility Autoclave Load thermocouple is specially designed to provide the best possible accuracy and stability in the rigorous environment of clinical and laboratory sterilizer chambers. The design has been subjected to successful, thorough evaluation by CMI Healthcare including leak testing in a vacuum chamber and processing through normal, porous load sterilization cycles. The sensor complies with test standard HTM 2010, Clause 6.19/6.21. The special multiple seal construction of this Autoclave Thermocouple ensures that moisture ingress is prevented, even at elevated pressure. The combination of a close tolerance type T thermoelement and exceptional rugged construction ensure high accuracy, high stability and long term reliability. Alternatively, Pt100 resistance thermometer sensors using similar construction methods can be supplied. silicone rubber exiting the bulkhead tube. The assembly tolerance complies with IEC 584-2 class 1 and colour code with IEC 584-3. Single and duplex versions are available. Validation of the temperature sensors All temperature sensors used in the sterilization process must be routinely checked and/or calibrated in accordance with procedures described in HTM 2010 Part 3 or any other national standards. There are various ways of achieving such compliance which typically involve sending the sensors to an accredited laboratory for certification, an expensive and time consuming procedure. A practical, highly cost effective alternative method is to use an in-house, portable temperature calibration system from Labfacility; this provides a rapid and simple method of sensor checking and traceable calibration on the bench. This comprises a thermal reference (dry block) calibrator, a UKAS certified reference thermometer (Pt100), a calibrated L200 8 channel indicator/logger and PC software: this, when used with any Windows PC represents a complete solution for on-site accreditation which allows direct comparison of the sterilizer probes (up to seven at a time) with the UKAS certified reference sensor. A simple calculation of difference temperature (if any) between the logged values indicated by the reference and each test probe at a given, stable temperature (chosen by the user) in the dry block calibrator gives the error value for each sensor at particular temperatures. The procedure can be repeated for alternative temperatures set on the dry block as required (e.g. 70, 100, 125, 150 C). The system can even be used independently of a PC if desired. Rather than working with logged data, readings for each probe can be taken manually by means of the L200 front panel key and differences calculated by the user. This is an equally valid procedure. The design of the dry block ensures that all sensors located in its well will be at exactly the same temperature. The necessary calculations can be performed in a spreadsheet by applying formulae to the relevant cells and the logged values imported into the worksheet. On this basis, the sterilizer probes are traceably calibrated (UKAS traceable) in-house for full compliance with specified testing and validation procedures. The sensor is protected by a 316 grade stainless steel sheath and bulkhead tube; rugged, flexible stainless steel armour conduit protects the 2m lead with 2.5m of The autoclave load thermocouple is designed to provide high accuracy and stability in rigorous environments System Accuracy The accuracy of a type T, Class 1 thermocouple is similar to that of a Pt100 Class B; nominally ±0.5 C and ±0.3 C respectively at 0 C a Class A Pt100 will provide an order greater accuracy however. Measurement uncertainty with such a system will be of the order of ±0.6 C for both types of sensor at a typical working temperature. 10 IEN EUROPE Probe comparison checking system Author: Ken Jefferies, Marketing & Technical Support, Labfacility 29865 at www.ien.eu

APPLICATION STORY Sensors for precise welding and assembly processes Steel body or aluminum frame? Magnesium interior or plastic interior? Wood trim or carbon accents? The selection of the materials used in automobile manufacturing is as great today as the expectations of the automobile purchasers. In the end, the car has become much more than a simple mode of transportation for most customers - it has become a status symbol that should be equally high value as well as individual. In order to be able to meet the growing expectations of customers and simultaneously ensure efficient production, the automobile production lines have to be constantly modified, remodeled or expanded. New materials, improved production processes, and expanded automation potential are also putting higher demands on the automation solutions already in use. Due to the diversity of the materials used, the production steps performed, and the machines used, it applies, in the end, that the efficiency of a production line stands and falls with the plant capacity and thereby with the flexibility and reliability of the automation components used. 16 IEN EUROPE That is why, in order to ensure the efficient production of high quality automobiles like VW s new Sagitar or the Magotan vehicle lines, FAW-VW Automobile Co., Ltd. a joint venture between the Chinese governmentowned First Automotive Works, Germany s Volkswagen AG, Audi AG and Volkswagen Automobile (China) Investment Co., Ltd. relies on sensor technology from Turck. In its production lines in Changchun in northeast China, FAW-VW is producing sedans based on European models like the Golf, Jetta, Bora or Passat. Founded in 1991, FAW-VW has become one of the major Chinese automobile manufacturers in the last 17 years, with a plant value of approximately EUR 3 billion and a production capacity of 1,000 manufactured cars per day as well as additional capacities for vehicle and parts export. High demands placed on sensors During the course of such breathtakingly rapid development in the Chinese automobile industry, customer demands have risen with regard to quality, functionality, and efficiency. This has led FAW-VW like all automobile manufacturers in the end - having to use new materials and technologies in order to facilitate the flexible production of different vehicle types and models at one location. Correspondingly high were the automobile manufacturer s requirements with

PRODUCT NEWS In its production lines in Changchun in northeast China, FAW-VW Automobile Co., Ltd. is producing sedans based on European models like the Golf, Jetta, Bora or Passat. Linear-Position Sensor supports Ethernet Powerlink The R-Series Ethernet Powerlink sensor by MTS is designed for use in dynamic control applications with short cycle times. A resolution of 1 micron is possible for lengths from 25 to 20,000mm. Position and velocity measurements can be provided for up to four locations on the sensor. The sensor can be integrated into the network without further programming. Various housings and a profile for external sensor mounting on the motion axis are optional. Versions for direct installation in the hydraulic cylinder or limited space are available. 29852 at www.ien.eu regard to the sensor technology used. In order to be able to detect workpiece positions in the various stages of automated production, such as stamping, painting, welding, and final assembly, the sensors have to be robust, versatile, and cost-efficient requirements that the Factor 1 sensors from the uprox+ product line fully meet. Factor 1 on all metals Thanks to multi-spule technology, the sensors designed to meet the IP68 degree of protection detect all metals without reduction factor - regardless of whether it is iron, stainless steel, copper, aluminum or brass. Not only that, in comparison to conventional ferrite core sensors, they made it possible for FAW-VW to detect all metals used in the production lines with considerably higher switching distances up to 50 mm (FAW-VW uses the Ni50U-CK40 series) thus offering high degrees of freedom for installation and area of application. A further advantage of the Factor 1 sensors that are sold by Turck (Tianjin) Sensor Co., Ltd. (TTS) in China is the fact that with the few sensor types that are suitable for many applications within the production line, the automobile manufacturer was able to set up simple and cost-efficient warehousing. One of the hardest areas of application in the FAW-VW plants is welding assembly. In the overall production line, the individual parts of the various sedan models run through up to 5,000 spot welding steps. For monitoring the automated motion sequences, FAW-VW relies on the sensors from the MT series. Mounted on the robot arms, the special sensors coated with teflon continuously check the position of the robotics in relation to the workpieces and thus guarantees not only spot-precise welding processes, but also error-free flow in the assembly process. The special challenge in this application: In welding assembly, not only high switching distances are required in order to be able to detect the position of the workpieces early on and, if necessary, correct them, but also excellent shielding against external environmental conditions. Because uprox+ sensors do not contain ferrite core, they are equally insensitive to strong magnetic fields, like those that develop during the welding process, as they are to flying sparks or mechanical wear. The flush (or over-flush) and non-flush installable Factor 1 sensors thus guarantee the highest reliability. Installation at any angle For recording the position on cross-bars in final assembly and in the paint shops, FAW- VW relies on uprox+ sensors from the QV40 series, which can reliably detect the presence or absence of metals up to a distance of 50 mm. However, the square-shaped sensors that are simple and uncomplicated to install via a mounting clamp perform their services reliably not only with regard to determining the position on the cross-bars, but they can also be used literally in any angle of the production line. Because their active surface can be positioned in five different directions manually without tools, the QV40 sensors can be comfortably and quikkly adapted to the respective applications and environmental conditions. Like the MT series, the QV40 sensors thus allowed production engineers at FAW-VW to cover detection applications in the entire production line using a low number of product types.

The series operates at 100Hz and a resolution of 640 points per profile. The measuring range starts at a distance of 175mm to the sensor and can be extended from 50 to 105mm. 29851 at www.ien.eu Industrial Accelerometers for online monitoring Wilcoxon introduces two full-performance, compact, industrial accelerometers, the 780B and 780C. These two new sensors join the 780A to create a family of narrow, low-profile, and lightweight sensors, ideal for walk-around collection of vibration monitoring data. The key difference between the three affordable accelerometers is the sensitivity tolerance, which customers can select based upon their application. 29867 at www.ien.eu IEN EUROPE 17
