Distance measurement with extensive flexibility

They bring highresolution distance measurement together with intelligent configurability and seamless integration - exactly what modern engineering teams are asking for.

At the core of these sensors is a highresolution distancemeasurement engine that provides clean, linear, continuous data. No jitter, no guesswork - just reliable, repeatable readings. Because the output is fully digital and linearised, it's ideal for applications where precision is nonnegotiable, from automated assembly to quality inspection.

One of the biggest wins with Smart DMS devices is their dual configurable outputs. Instead of juggling multiple sensor variants, you can tailor a single unit to suit a wide range of tasks.

- Teachable switching points for quick, intuitive setup

- Analog or digital output options for easy integration

- A flexible Pin 2 that can act as an extra output, an input or a wireteach interface

- For installers and maintenance teams, that means simpler retrofits, fewer stock items and less wiring clutter.

Configuration tools that put you in control

These sensors aren't just about detection - they're about optimisation. A suite of builtin functions lets engineers finetune behaviour to match the exact needs of the application:

- Stretch, delay and oneshot timers for tighter signal control

- Eventdriven alarms for smarter process responses

- Counter functions and temperature monitoring for deeper diagnostics

- Onboard data storage to retain settings and process information

- It's a move away from "fit and forget" sensing and toward intelligent, adaptable process control.

With diagnostics and data output built in, Smart DMS sensors slot neatly into IIoTready architectures. Conditionbased and eventtriggered alerts help spot issues early, supporting predictive maintenance strategies and reducing unplanned downtime.

Built for the tough stuff

Industrial environments can be unforgiving, so durability matters. These sensors are available in stainlesssteel V2A housings for corrosion resistance, along with highpressure versions for more demanding mechanical conditions. They're engineered to last, even when the environment isn't exactly friendly.

Contrinex's smart sensors build on all of this with the added benefit of the industrystandard IOLink serial interface - or, if you need faster, sensorlevel decisionmaking, the option to run in SIO (Sensor Input/Output) mode. This gives engineers the freedom to push performance further, experiment with new sensing strategies and get creative with system design.

And then there's the PocketCodr configuration tool. Instead of firing up a PLC or writing a line of code, engineers can customise a sensor straight from a phone or tablet. Realtime visualisation graphs show exactly what the sensor is "seeing", while intuitive iconbased Action Widgets guide users stepbystep through setup. It's nocode configuration done properly - fast, visual and accessible.

PocketCodr also supports remote sharing of configurations, making collaboration across teams or sites effortless. Whether you're commissioning a new line or troubleshooting an existing one, it keeps everyone aligned and working from the same playbook.

Smart Digital Measurement Sensors and the wider Contrinex ecosystem around them bring together precision measurement, flexible configuration and modern digital tools in one tidy package. For engineers looking to streamline processes, boost reliability or simply work more creatively, they offer a compelling, futureready solution.
