Sun’s new bluetooth embedded amplifier is the fluid power industry’s first commercially available bluetooth-configurable product. It provides a compact, factory integrated coil and connector combination for use with Sun’s proportional solenoid valves. Using iOS and Android mobile devices, users can configure the embedded amplifier wirelessly via the new app, AmpSet Blue, for quick, easy and reliable wireless calibration. This groundbreaking development allows operators to be in close proximity to observe valve operation, but not tethered. It is completely safe when setting up and calibrating machine behavior.
AmpSet Blue allows users to locate and pair with a selected amplifier using a smart device and adjust all parameters of the proportional controller through simple screens. They can name each device and save, store, recall and share settings for future use. Ideal for multi-valve systems and hard to reach or dangerous environments, the app can pair with the Bluetooth embedded amplifier from as far away as 10 metres. It eliminates the need to carry a separate programmer, laptop or special cable into a hazardous environment.
Rated at IP69K, the controller is CE and RoHS compliant and meets the automotive 30-V/m specification, providing immunity and low emissions for automotive applications. Password protection prevents unauthorised access; and for added safety, a connection time-out feature is activated after a period of inactivity, preventing the application from being left open and paired. Coils are available in both 12 and 24 VDC with a choice of Deutsch or ISO DIN connectors.
