4B IE-GuardFlex with DHMS – Distributed Hazard Monitoring Solution
4B Group’s new IE-GuardFlex for DHMS uses advanced Ethernet to connect and monitor sensors across machines, initiating shutdowns when risks are detected. 4B Group proudly announces the launch of their Distributed Hazard Monitoring Solution (DHMS) featuring the IE-GuardFlex. Leveraging advanced industrial Ethernet technology, the IE-GuardFlex control unit seamlessly connects and monitors sensors across multiple machines using 4B’s state-of-the-art IE-Node technology. This robust system can be configured for multiple machines, IE-Nodes, and sensors, directly interfacing with machine control centres to initiate shutdowns upon detecting potential risks.
Ideal for central control rooms and ”non-hazardous areas,” the IE-GuardFlex connects to IE-Nodes in ”at-risk zones” via industrial CAT6 Ethernet cables. Monitored machinery includes bucket elevators, enclosed and open conveyors, chain conveyors, rollers, and more. ATEX-certified sensors connected to local IE-Nodes monitor critical conditions like belt slip (SlipSwitch, Milli-Speed), belt misalignment (TouchSwitch, Bulldog), bearing temperatures (ADB, Milli-Temp),
