The simplicity of using a smartphone app comes to IO-Link sensors with the launch of the PocketCodr at the Smart Factory Expo. The Bluetooth connection unit and its companion PocketCodr app simplify the configuration, monitoring and sharing of IO-Link sensors from any manufacturer, removing the need to use a PLC.
This simplicity is enhanced by Action Widgets for Contrinex sensors, which are easy-to-understand, step-by-step intuitive, graphics-based screens, with simple controls, like sliders, buttons and checkboxes and helpful hints – With PocketCodr you can say goodbye to programming manuals!
PocketCodr provides a fast, simple, yet powerful way to configure Contrinex’s SMART sensors. These adjustable analogue distance measurement, inductive and photoelectric sensors include a microcontroller, providing onboard computation and additional features.
Customers can buy an off-the-shelf SMART sensor and quickly configure and test it using PocketCodr and the Action Widgets, to create a unique sensor, specifically for their application – No-code programming, removing the need for a PLC.
The PocketCodr app provides live data graphs and displays sensor parameters and outputs on-screen in real time. Sensor configurations can also be shared by sending a code to another Pocketcodr user anywhere in the world, via email, messenger, text, etc.
