•
SICK sensors of the TiM series detect the presence of an object within a specified area
(detection). They are ideally suited for monitoring the area around a vehicle, for
instance. If an object is detected in the monitored area, the result is output via the
digital output.
•
Capacitive level sensors (such as those from the company Omnicomm) are used for
the level measurement of fuels and oils. When using a capacitive measuring method,
an insulated measurement electrode forms an electric capacitor with the medium
surrounding it. As the level and in turn the capacitance decreases, the latter is analyzed
by electronics and communicated by an electrical signal.
•
Capacitive proximity sensors, such as SICK sensors of the CM series, can detect all
kinds of materials beyond a surface. This allows a minimum level to be detected, for
example.
•
A TDC device can also process signals from other devices or motors. Vehicle activities
can be traced upon connection to the ignition system.
3.2.1.2
The TDC device as a sender
When using the SICK online platform, the TDC device transmits the sensor data received
to the SICK cloud server in real time. This happens automatically via the mobile network
using the SIM card inserted into the TDC device.
If a cloud-based customer server is used instead of the SICK online portal, it is not
possible to transmit the sensor data directly. However, there is the option to access the
data on the customer server using the MQTT interface of the device in question.
The TDC device alarm management system can be configured and used to trigger a real-
time alarm in the form of SMS messages via input signals.
