Product inquiry

The compact terminal SCTSi is sort of the masterpiece of our engineers, a compact and powerful unit for vacuum generation in automated systems. Now Schmalz has enhanced the Ethernet version of the terminal by adding new modules. Via an IO-Link master that can be integrated into the terminal, field devices can be connected via IO-Link and thus communicate directly with the PLC. Digital field devices such as sensors are integrated via digital input modules – without separate I/O modules. The terminal thus becomes the central control unit for vacuum gripping systems.

Lean

Central compressed air and power supply for up to 16 ejectors
Direct connection to the controller via only one data line
Space saving (no additional IO-Link master or I/O modules)

Networked

Can be integrated in a wide range of field-bus systems
Only one station in the network, even if devices are connected to the SCTSi

Modular

Simple construction of different, individually controllable vacuum circuits
Single and multi-stage vacuum generation
Ejectors are individually selectable according to nozzle size, NO / NC / impulse or nozzle type

Intelligent

All vacuum circuits can be separately controlled
Process transparency, energy consumption control and a variety of diagnostic functions for use in intelligent factories

Valve requires only a short voltage pulse for switching

ETL certified

The SCTSi Ethernet is Schmalz's first product to receive an ETL certification (short for Electrical Testing Laboratories) from Intertek. This certification confirms compliance with industry standards that guarantee certain minimum safety requirements.

The ETL certification of the SCTSi Ethernet includes both the USA and Canada. ETL certification is equivalent to UL or CSA certification.
