When Wind meets Technology –
How our BOX Modules Ensure Reliable Strain Gauge Data in Wind Turbines
Up on the necelle – between wind and reality.
This is often where our work begins – where sensor technology must not fail. Where wind, weather and vibration not only affect the blades on the turbines, but also the technology inside.
In modern wind turbines, strain gauge measurement on rotor blades and structural elements is a key issue – for example to detect material fatigue or for active blade adjustment.
But what use is the best sensor technology if the evaluation electronics fail at their limits?
The solution: BOX modules from MicroControl
Our CAN based BOX modules take over where standard solutions leave off:
🔧 precise strain gauge acquisition at a high resolution
❄️ temperature range -40 °C to +85 °C – also at the necelle
🔗 direct CAN integration in the system architecture
🔋 optionally available with galvanic isolation and configurable filter functions
A leading manufacturer of wind turbines uses our modules, for example, for structure-monitored operation management – the failure rate of sensor-related shutdowns has fallen significantly since then.
🧠 Precise datea is not a optional extra – it is uptime.
If you are concerned with condition monitoring or safety functions in wind turbines: We know the requirements. And we know the solutions that work under real conditions.
