SmartSense(IoT)
Spring Applied Brake
or Clutch IoT Controller
The SmartSense(IoT) Spring Applied Brake or Clutch
Controller is a solid-state power supply and control for 24
VDC spring applied clutches & brakes which can be
integrated into an industrial Internet of Things, IoT, system.
Brake or clutch performance is optimized by applying full
voltage until armature movement is detected by the
SmartSense(IoT), no customer sensor required, then
automatically reducing to an adjustable holding voltage.
Therefore, full voltage is only applied for the time necessary
for armature movement, compensating for heat and wear
each cycle, before reducing power consumption and coil
heating while the brake is disengaged. This also allows for
faster brake engagement when coil voltage is removed.
Outputs for actual clutch or brake wear, worn condition for
replacement, sudden excessive brake or clutch wear, and
armature movement allow total remote monitoring of your
brake or clutch for easy integration into an IoT system.
Also, the brake or clutch output will turn off if there is no
armature movement within 4 seconds of initiation
indicating a brake failure.

IOT FEATURES
0-10V output proportional to wear
- no guessing when to replace brake or clutch
- save maintenance & down time cost by not replacing too early
- no worry of brake failure by replacing too late
10V output signaling 80% wear
- warning to replace your brake or clutch
10V output signaling wear is excessive
- know if your clutch or brake is suddenly wearing quickly
24V output signaling armature movement
- enhance positioning & stopping
- eliminate overlap between brake disengagement and motor starting
OTHER FEATURES
No sensors required, just connect to your brake or clutch
Auto-adjusting full voltage time for fast brake turn-off (release)
- no need to guess how long for armature movement
- compensates each cycle for temp & wear
Adjustable holding voltage
- saves energy
- reduces heat build-up
- lowers power consumption
LED load indicator with brightness proportional to brake voltage
