JUMO is increasingly positioning itself as a system and solution provider for sensor technology and automation, as a reliable partner on the path to digital transformation - with smart sensor technology and powerful and intuitive automation systems.

"Depending on the industry and industrial application, JUMO offers efficient products and solutions at various levels of the automation pyramid," emphasizes Christoph Trott, Head of Product Management at JUMO. Sensor connection is possible both on the basis of IO-Link and via Single Pair Ethernet (SPE).

"IO-Link is established as an industrially suitable communication system and has proven its simplicity and robustness in operation time and time again," says Trott. He cites the simple replacement of failed or damaged IO-Link sensors as 2 key advantages of IO-Link. This reduces both downtimes and maintenance costs. Fieldbus independence is ensured through the use of an IO-Link master with multi-protocol capability. "With new solutions from both technology areas, we are demonstrating that we do not see SPE as competition to IO-Link, but as a useful addition," says Trott.

Continuous communication down to the field level
SPE is currently gaining in importance and proving its suitability for use in industrial applications. JUMO has therefore integrated the innovative SPE technology based on 10BASE-T1L into 3 new sensor solutions:
- JUMO hydroTRANS S20 (temperature, humidity, CO2 transmitter)
- JUMO flowTRANS MAG H20 (flow transmitter) and
- JUMO DELOS S02 (pressure transmitter).

With Single Pair Ethernet, complex installations are now a thing of the past. After all, the new SPE sensors enable Ethernet networking right down to the field level and thus initiate effective communication at all levels of the automation pyramid - right up to direct connection to the JUMO Cloud. Trott sees continuous communication without media discontinuity as a key advantage of SPE.

SPE reduces the cabling effort by reducing it to just one wire pair, which ensures the power supply to the sensors via Power over Data Line (PoDL) and fast digital transmission of the precise sensor values over cable distances of up to 1000 meters.

"We want to provide our customers with a decision-making basis for their individual application and show them the best of both worlds," says Trott.
