Omron E8PC pressure sensors with temperature detection

Omron E8PC pressure sensors can detect signs of abnormalities in cooling water and hydraulic oil by simultaneous measurement of pressure and temperature.

With the Omron E8PC pressure sensor, notifications of changes in the cooling water or hydraulic oil states are said to be easy to understand — users can see the cause of the abnormality. For example, a rise in hydraulic oil temperature can be used to detect signs of leak. Monitoring hydraulic oil temperature changes can also help to understand how much of a rise in temperature will affect packing degradation.

By mounting sensors on multiple pipes, users can tell from the sensor LED displays what abnormality has occurred, and in which pipe. Since data output to a PLC by IO-Link communications is possible, it is easy to perform maintenance before entering an abnormal state.

The E8PC also features an analog current output function in addition to the IO-Link communications function that can perform self-diagnosis of abnormalities in the sensor itself. Omron offers a variety of replacement adapters to enable easy replacement of current pressure gauges and flow meters.
