Contrinex offer an innovative solution to help engineers easily utilise the capabilities hidden within any brand of sensor which features IO-Link. PocketCodr a Bluetooth-enabled sensor connection unit and it’s companion app, bring high-level configuration directly to a smartphone or tablet. It removes the traditional, cumbersome setup of laptops, adaptors, or PLC coding, enabling the application engineer to ‘see’ what the sensor is ‘seeing’ and optimise the configuration accordingly.

PocketCodr not only speeds up the commissioning process but also makes advanced sensing technology accessible to both seasoned automation experts and maintenance novices alike. The unit is not only simple to use, it is affordable at a special price of £199.

Seamless IO-Link Monitoring and Configuration

The PocketCodr unit, paired with its dedicated app for iOS and Android, offers a universal solution for live monitoring and configuration. Crucially, the system is brand-agnostic, allowing engineers to interface with any IO-Link sensor on the market. By providing real-time, on-screen data visualisation graphs, PocketCodr offers a ‘No-Code’ environment where technicians can see exactly what the sensor is ‘seeing’ in real-time. This eliminates the need to cross-reference dense programming manuals or write bespoke code just to adjust a switching threshold.

Streamlined Collaboration and ‘Smart’ Control
To support the demands of multi-site operations and collaborative engineering teams, optional subscription enhancements are offered. The ‘Library’ add-on enables the remote sharing of configurations; a user can send a setup code to a colleague anywhere in the world via email or instant messaging, ensuring consistency across global production lines.

Furthermore, the ‘Contrinex Suite’ provides a specialised toolkit for the brand’s own SMART inductive sensors and IO-Link RFID modules. This suite introduces ‘Action Widgets’—intuitive, graphics-based guidance screens that replace technical complexity with simple sliders, buttons, and checkboxes.

Hassle-Free Implementation
The move towards more agile, handheld maintenance tools is a key pillar of Industry 4.0. By enabling engineers to customise sensor parameters on the fly, PocketCodr significantly reduces the time required for machine setup and troubleshooting.

For those looking to see the technology in action, Contrinex has produced a series of eight 60-second “taster” videos. These demonstrations showcase the ease of use even when applied to high-spec hardware, such as the Smart Inductive Measurement sensor.

The video series is available to watch now at: www.contrinex.com/pages/smart-inductive-features
