IO-Link for easy integration into existing systems

Filtration, and the monitoring thereof, are important components of condition monitoring in hydraulic and lubrication systems. Condition-based filter maintenance, however, is only possible if monitoring the remaining service life of the filter elements is indicated in such a way that replacements do not cause unplanned downtimes.

Through continuous monitoring of filter capacity using various electric signals, the BCI Series ensures ultra-efficient filter use.
The BCI 24-Dx monitors the pressure drop in in-line filters and is technically equivalent to a microprocessor-controlled pressure sensor with 2 switching outputs for advance warning (filter element nearly depleted) and cut-out (filter element full). Alternatively, the current pressure drop is output via a 4-20 mA signal.
IO-Link is integrated as standard in all versions to enable the simplest possible integration into existing systems.
