Field Communicators
We offer modular multi-bus field communicators for HART, FOUNDATION Fieldbus H1 and Profibus PA protocols, combined in some of our process calibrators. While the communicator is built in the same device with the process calibrator, they can communicate seamlessly offering better user experience than separate calibrator and communicator. Plus you only need to carry one device. Thanks to the modularity you can select which protocol you take, and update more protocols later on, if needed.

CMOS Type Micro Laser Distance Sensor
HG-C1000L
Panasonic Industrial Devices Sales Company of America
The IO-Link technology makes it possible to continuously collect and process data and to control the HG-C1000L. This allows users to implement predictive maintenance and to monitor the operation in machines and assembly lines. Processing the multitude of data requires users to invest know-how and time. To reduce the workload for the customers, Panasonic has developed a self-diagnosis function specifically for this sensor. This function sends sensor data via IO-Link to a higher-level fieldbus, thus informing about the state of the sensor directly. This way, the amount of production data and the work needed to analyze the data is reduced.
