Features:
- The EVK2.11.2 features high-frequency alternating light measuring systems protected against ambient light interference.
- This model includes active dirt compensation through the reference measuring principle for reliable operation in harsh environments.
- The EVK2.11.2 offers CANopen fieldbus interface for seamless integration into modern automation architectures.
The EVK2.11.2 provides essential strip guiding functions that directly affect the quality and efficiency of continuous processing operations. It incorporates the reference measuring principle for active dirt compensation, ensuring consistent accuracy even when contaminants accumulate on light emitters. Each measuring system in the EVK2.11.2 uses both a measuring receiver and a reference receiver directed to the same light spot, allowing the system to distinguish between actual strip edge movement and background brightness changes in harsh environments such as pickling and cold rolling lines.
For applications requiring modern automation integration, the EVK2.11.2 features CANopen fieldbus interface for seamless communication with control systems. With measuring accuracy better than 1.0mm and support for distances up to 4 meters between sensor and light source, the EVK2.11.2 delivers precise and reliable performance. The system consumes less than 50 VA per drive unit and operates on 24V DC supply with 0.5A continuous current, making it efficient for continuous industrial operation.
The EVK2.11.2 is designed for easy installation in minimal space, reducing commissioning time significantly. With IP54 protection rating and operating temperature range of 0 to +50°C, the EVK2.11.2 solves the pain point of inaccurate strip edge detection in demanding steel processing environments. This sensor positioning device ensures precise, repeatable measurements insensitive to strip height variations and ambient light interference, maintaining product quality and process efficiency in metal processing applications worldwide.
The EVK2.11.2 EMG Board Device may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

- Strip Guiding System: Monitors the edge position (EVK) or center position (EVM) of the strip to ensure it remains centered during uncoiling, rewinding, or passage through processing lines (such as galvanizing and color coating lines).
- Strip Edge Detection: Used with the LS 13/14 series high-frequency alternating light receiver to detect changes in strip width or lateral displacement.
- Automated Positioning Control: Drives electric actuators (servo valves or electric servo cylinders) to adjust the position of the steering rollers or coiler.
- Protection Rating: Typically housed in an IP54-rated enclosure, providing basic dust and water resistance.
- Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC): Complies with EMC directives for industrial environments, ensuring accurate signal transmission in factory sites with severe electromagnetic interference.
- Safety Standards: Meets CE certification requirements; some versions for hazardous areas may require special explosion-proof (e.g., ATEX) installation standards.
- Backward Compatibility:
This model is typically used with the SPC16 control amplifier or a 24V power supply module.Supports direct physical connection to previous generation sensors and cables.
- Upward Replacement: The current upgrade is EVK2.11.3, and the two are interchangeable in most applications.Newer generation systems (such as EVK3/EVM3) are also designed to be seamlessly compatible with the EVK2 series, allowing the use of existing mounting points and cables.
- Communication Interface: Supports mainstream industrial bus protocols such as CANopen, providing excellent fieldbus interoperability.
