U-ONE System Australia: Revolutionizing Speed Monitoring
U-ONE System – Reliable Speed and Position Monitoring for Australian Industry
The U-ONE System from Hübner Giessen offers a smart and dependable way to monitor speed and position in industrial environments. It suits operations that demand accurate feedback, low maintenance, and long-distance data transmission.
This system is made up of two parts: a shaft-mounted basic unit and a function module located in the switchboard. The two connect using fibre-optic cables, which provide safe, interference-free signal transmission over distances up to 1 kilometre.
How the U-ONE System Works
Unlike traditional setups, the U-ONE System connects directly to the shaft. Because it avoids mechanical parts like couplings or gearboxes, it reduces the chance of breakdowns and lowers maintenance costs.
The function module inside the switchboard receives signals from the shaft-mounted unit. As a result, you get fast and accurate data without the need for extra components or converters.
Key Benefits of Using the U-ONE System
1. Accurate and Reliable Monitoring
Since the unit mounts directly onto the shaft, there’s no gear backlash or signal delay. This ensures reliable feedback for systems that require precise speed and position control.
2. Certified Safety
The U-ONE SAFETY LWL system meets SIL 2 / PL d standards. It is certified by TÜV, so it’s ideal for high-risk sites like mines, steel plants, and port cranes.
3. Long-Distance Signal Transmission
The use of fibre-optic cables means you can send signals up to 1,000 metres without loss or interference. Therefore, it works well in large facilities or areas with electrical noise.
4. Lower Maintenance Requirements
Because there are fewer moving parts, there’s less to wear out. This means you can reduce service downtime and improve the life of your equipment.
5. Flexible Integration
You can use the U-ONE System in both new builds and upgrade projects. It supports multiple output formats such as incremental, SSI, CANopen, and Profinet. In short, it fits most modern automation systems.
