SNAP SIGNAL is a complete suite of products that enables the collection of data from machines that were never designed with data in mind. The range, available in the UK from Turck Banner, enables cost-effective signal conversion when, for example, one more analogue input is needed when only have a digital input is available.

The suite comprises everything needed to unlock data from a machine without compromising the current control system and risking unplanned downtime.

There are currently 20 in-line converters, with M12 connectors, that take various types of signal such as analogue, digital, or thermistor and convert these to smart protocols such as IO-Link or Modbus. These converters are used with splitter cables to connect into the existing control wiring and convert outputs from the existing sensors into a unified protocol, whilst leaving the control system intact. There are 59 splitter cordset variations to match requirements.

As all SNAP devices are in IP68 field mountable housings, are not required. The modular nature of SNAP SIGNAL makes it easy to introduce extra sensors for monitoring the condition of critical components.
