Applications for Remote Systems
Inductive Power Supply& Signal Transmission

Ideal application for the Remote system
Remote system can provide unique solution to the problem area of motion applications-- ● Cable● Connector

Damages-- Stress damages-- Limitation of physicalmovement.
-- Additional space requirement● Slip ringTime loss-- Wear and tear		(maintenance is necessary)-- Human error when connecting-- Protection requirement for
exposed connectors

Dust or liquid-- Limited life cycle (maintenanceis necessary)-- Vulnerable to dusty and wet
area-- Increased size of rotarymechanism

Remote System cantransmit power and signal
over a gap simultaneously,
making solution beyond
physical limitation possible.

Concept of Remote System
Remote System consists of the Transmitter mounted on the movable side and the Output sensor installedon the fixed side.
When the Transmitter comes into the transmittable field of the Output sensor, inductive power is supplied to
the Transmitter, and signal transmission is performed.

Problems-- Cable installation space is limited and cablebreakage often occured.

-- In the case of a charging battery , it takes
time for charging and exchanging battery.

-- In the case of operation outside of working

hour, the operatoin could be stopped due tocharging shortage.

Solution

Advantages-- Installation space became unlimited-- Cable trouble improved due to wireless-- Reduce worktime because it became
unnecessary to change the battery.

-- Time for charging became unnecessary.
-- Continuous operation for 24 hours become
possible by automatic charging

Transmitter-- Power supply to the sensor andsignal transmission was performed
through the cable, but cable trouble
was freaquently occurred due torepeating opening and closing
operations.

Solution

Rmote System

After improvement-- By supplying power to the sensor
and transmitting the detection signal
wirelessly, disconnection trouble wassolved.

door catch sensor

Application

A door catch sensor that detects whether a person or thing is caught when the train door is closed.
The remote system is installed to the cushioning part of the door. The cable was frequently broken
by repeating opening and closing operations. Liner type remote system was introduced, and it ispossible to constantly supply power to the sensor and transmit the detection signal, and it was also
solved from the trouble of disconnection

Stopping (door opened）

Catching occurred! Signal transmission!

After confirming safety, the train departures.
