Festo Energy efficiency modules MSE6, MSE Series
The products optimise the use of compressed air as an energy medium in industrial automation technology. They are equipped with measurement, control and diagnostic functions and support the energy-efficient operation of pneumatic systems. In automatic operation, they detect standby states of the production system and shut off the compressed air feed until it is reset by the user; the shut-off is either permanent (MSE6-D2M and MSE6-E2M) or until the pressure drops to the setpoint standby pressure, which is then maintained (MSE6-C2M). This prevents unnecessary and/or increased consumption of compressed air. By monitoring the pressure drop in the shut-off state, it is possible to detect leakages and introduce specific system maintenance
actions.
The products can also be used for process monitoring by enabling pressure, flow-rate and consumption values to be transferred by a fieldbus connection directly to the machine controller, where they can be analyzed. These data can be transferred to an MQTTbroker, for example via the Festo IO–Gateway, so that they can be recorded and analyzed over long periods of time.
