Features:
- Interface Between the Inductive Sensor Network and Strip Guiding System Backplane
- Combines Capability of High-Precision Signal Processing with Redundant Sensor Support
- Operates in Conjunction with the SMI Series and Standard EMG Strip Guiding Components
The EMG SMI2.11.3 operates as the Electronic Evaluation Unit in an EMG strip guiding system, providing reliable signal processing to all sensor modules within the network. It continuously processes incoming inductive sensor signals with high precision, ensuring accurate lateral position monitoring of metal strips and distributing this data through the system backplane to support real-time control of all guiding mechanisms. Seamless digital integration is standard with the EMG SMI2.11.3, featuring an integrated CAN-Bus communication interface that allows seamless data exchange within modern automated networks. The EMG SMI2.11.3 has made significant advancements in several areas over previous evaluation unit designs, incorporating sophisticated microprocessor-controlled compensation for varying material properties.
The EMG SMI2.11.3 provides essential evaluation functions common to the entire strip guiding system, and is a critical component of the sensing path, directly affecting the proper, accurate positioning of metal strips in high-speed processing lines. One or more EMG SMI2.11.3 evaluation units are required per system depending on the complexity of the processing line and desired redundancy level. The EMG SMI2.11.3 is designed for demanding industrial environments and is typically installed as a core component within the control cabinet of the strip guiding system.
For Dual Redundant Sensor applications, the EMG System can incorporate additional EMG SMI2.11.3 evaluation modules to ensure continuous operation. In addition to standard single sensor operation, the redundant configuration performs automatic signal validation. The EMG dual sensor configuration executes failover using the internal self-monitoring circuitry specified in the evaluation unit options. Using this method, the redundant sensing system continually monitors the health of both sensor channels. If the system detects that the primary sensor channel is no longer providing stable output (outside configured tolerance levels or due to cable breaks), it will automatically transfer the evaluation to the secondary channel and generate a diagnostic event in the System Event Log.
The SMI2.11.3 EMG Electronic Evaluation Unit may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

- Product Family SMI2.11.1,SMI2.11.2
Important Notice: Other accessories, manuals, cables, calibration data, software, etc. are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description. All prices are shown in USD.
- CAN-Bus Interface: The SMI2.11.3 specifically uses the CAN-Bus interface for digital communication. This replaces standard analogue outputs, allowing it to act as a centralizer controller board in modern automated networks.
- Serial Protocols: It supports CANopen (specifically for the SMI2.11.X series), enabling integration with higher-level PLCs and control systems.
- Cabling: Standard connectivity often involves twisted-pair Unitronic bus cables (e.g., 2 x 2 x 0.22 mm²) with a 120-ohm impedance to maintain signal integrity.
- Protection Rating: The wall-mounted evaluation electronics are rated at IP 55, protecting the board against dust and low-pressure water jets. The frame housing typically carries an IP 54 rating.
- Environmental Limits: The unit is rated for an ambient operating temperature of up to 50 °C and a storage temperature range of -20 °C to +70 °C.
- Self-Monitoring: The EMG SMI system includes complex self-monitoring features that issue collective messages such as "Measuring equipment OK" and "Strip detected" to ensure operational safety.
- Metal Strip Processing: The EMG SMI2.11.3 is designed to solve the problem of strip deviation in processing lines like galvanizing, pickling, or cleaning lines. It ensures the strip remains centered, preventing edge damage and material scrap.
- Aggressive Environments: It is used in areas with high humidity or liquid temperatures up to 80 °C, where optical sensors might fail due to steam or oil mist.
- Non-Ferrous Detection: It accurately detects non-magnetic materials like aluminum, copper, and brass, making it essential for non-steel metal production lines.
- Automotive & Robotics: Used for high-precision measurement and sorting tasks in automated manufacturing and robotic material handling.
