The Cable Guard is looped into the drag chain cable to be monitored and can provide information about the quality of the cable connection via a status LED, a separate network connection or a digital output. The feedback can be displayed as a PWM signal at the output. The alarm threshold value can be set individually.
For integration into IIoT structures, the monitored cable status can also be sent via MQTT by the Cable Guard.
The particularly compact design is suitable for use in decentralized control cabinets and can be mounted on standard top-hat rails.
The Cable Guard is also suitable for EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP and 2-pair PROFINET applications.
