Description
Parameter Specifications
- Power Supply: The EMERSON VE4014 operates on a 24V DC power supply, with a power consumption typically ranging from 10 – 15W. This relatively low power consumption makes it energy – efficient for continuous operation in industrial settings.
- Input/Output Channels: It is equipped with a set of input and output channels. There are 8 digital input channels, which can receive signals from various sensors such as limit switches, proximity sensors, or photoelectric sensors. Additionally, it has 8 digital output channels, capable of controlling devices like solenoid valves, relays, or indicator lights.
- Communication Interface: It features an Ethernet communication interface, supporting a data transfer rate of up to 100Mbps. It adheres to standard industrial communication protocols such as Modbus TCP, enabling seamless integration with other devices in an industrial network for data exchange and remote monitoring.
- Operating Temperature Range: Designed to function within a wide temperature range, from – 20°C to 60°C. This allows it to be used in various industrial environments, including those with extreme temperature conditions.
Applications
- Industrial Automation: In manufacturing plants, the EMERSON VE4014 can be used to control and monitor simple to moderately complex production processes. For example, it can manage the movement of conveyor belts based on the signals from sensors detecting the presence of products, or it can control the operation of small – scale assembly machines.
- Building Automation: In commercial buildings, it can be employed for basic control tasks such as controlling the lighting system according to the occupancy detected by sensors, or monitoring and controlling the ventilation system.
- Material Handling: In warehouses or logistics centers, it can be used to control the movement of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and manage the operation of conveyor systems for efficient material handling.
Weight and Dimensions
- Weight: Approximately 0.5 kg, which is relatively light and easy to handle during installation and maintenance.
- Dimensions: It has a compact design, with dimensions of about 120mm (length) x 100mm (width) x 40mm (height). This small size allows it to be easily installed in control boxes or other limited – space areas.
Features
- Compact Design: Its small size and low weight make it highly portable and easy to integrate into existing systems without taking up much space.
- Ethernet Connectivity: The Ethernet communication interface enables fast and reliable data transfer, facilitating real – time control and monitoring. It also allows for easy connection to a central control system or a network for remote access.
- Easy Configuration: Configuration is straightforward. Users can set up input/output functions, communication parameters, and other settings through software or a user – friendly interface, reducing the complexity of installation and operation.
Stability and Reliability
- Robust Construction: Built with high – quality components and a durable enclosure, it can withstand normal industrial vibrations, minor shocks, and dust.
- Electrical Isolation: It provides electrical isolation between input/output channels and the power supply, protecting the device from electrical interference and ensuring stable signal transmission.
- Long – term Testing: Through extensive long – term testing, it has been proven to have a reliable performance over time, with a low failure rate.
Practical Case
In a small – scale electronics manufacturing plant, the EMERSON VE4014 is used to control a pick – and – place machine. The digital input channels are connected to sensors that detect the position of electronic components on a tray. When a component is detected, the VE4014 sends a signal through the digital output channels to the pick – and – place mechanism to pick up the component and place it on the circuit board. One day, there was a brief power outage in the plant. Thanks to the electrical isolation feature of the VE4014, the device retained its configuration and was able to resume normal operation immediately after the power was restored. The reliable performance of the EMERSON VE4014 ensured the continuous and efficient operation of the pick – and – place process, improving the overall productivity of the manufacturing plant.
