ZF Electronics Energy Harvesting Wireless Switches

ZF Electronics Energy Harvesting Wireless Switches are a compact and highly efficient system consisting of a generator and receiver. Energy Harvesting makes use of energy that is already available. ZF Electronics' Energy Harvesting switch module works on an inductive basis along with an inductive generator. The inductive generator converts mechanical energy into an electrical energy pulse by continuously changing the direction of the magnetic field. The energy is converted in the energy management system into a constant supply voltage stretched out over time. This feature powers the radio electronics with a transmitting antenna to send a radio signal.

Features

  • Wireless Switch:
    • Energy harvesting wireless system consisting of a generator and a receiver
    • Small size with high energy efficiency
    • Wireless data transfer via RF-technology
      • Reduction of connection systems
      • Flexibility for inaccessible locations
      • No complex wire assembly
    • "Energy Harvesting" / batteryless - the required RF-energy is created by the mechanical actuation of the switch
    • Several frequency bands allow global use within different applications
    • Network-compatible
    • Maintenance-free - no batteries need to be changed
    • Long mechanical life
    • Flexible "Pairing" allows the operation of several receivers with one switch (and vice versa)
    • "Unique ID" excludes a mutual interference between different RF-switches
  • Receiver:
    • Integrated (in the existing customer control system) or as a separate unit (in a housing / as plugin receiver PCB)
    • Antenna integrated or external
    • Available interfaces:
      • Voltage, current, bus interfaces, USB, RS232, and relay output
