Product Overview

The SICK EDS/EDM35 motor feedback system is a high-performance, reliable solution designed to enhance machine availability through advanced condition monitoring. It provides real-time detection of critical servo motor parameters including speed, position, acceleration, and temperature, storing data in a mission time histogram for analysis. With its integrated vibration and air humidity sensors, the system enables predictive maintenance by identifying early signs of mechanical stress or imbalance—such as ball bearing damage. The EDS/EDM35 is engineered to support continuous operation in demanding industrial environments, reducing unplanned downtimes through proactive fault detection. Available in both standard and ATEX variants (EDM35 for zone 2/22), it ensures safety compliance while delivering consistent performance across a range of automation applications.

Key Features and Technology

The EDS/EDM35 leverages HIPERFACE DSL® digital communication technology to deliver reliable, one-cable data transmission between the motor feedback system and motion control systems. This standardized interface enables seamless integration with various servo motors and supports automated commissioning for faster setup. The system reliably detects multiple operational parameters—speed, position, acceleration, and temperature—and continuously logs them in a mission time histogram for trend analysis. Integrated vibration and air humidity sensors provide real-time condition monitoring, allowing early detection of faults such as motor imbalance or bearing wear. The HIPERFACE DSL protocol ensures robust data transmission, making the system suitable not only for motion control but also for safety-critical applications with compliance to Safety Integrity Level 3 (SIL 3).

Technical Characteristics

The EDS/EDM35 motor feedback system offers high device performance and reliability, ensuring increased machine availability. It detects key servo motor parameters such as speed, position, acceleration, and temperature with precision, storing all data in a mission time histogram for long-term analysis. The integrated vibration and air humidity sensors enable comprehensive condition monitoring of the servomotor. Communication is achieved via HIPERFACE DSL®, a standardized digital protocol that supports one-cable technology and automated commissioning. The system meets safety requirements with SIL 3 certification, ensuring robustness in critical applications. The EDM35 variant is specifically rated for use in hazardous environments as an ATEX device category 3 for zone 2/22.

Configuration and Integration

The EDS/EDM35 features a standardized mechanical interface, allowing compatibility with various motor feedback systems for the same servo motor. This simplifies system design and enables future upgrades or replacements without rework. Data is transmitted from the EDS/EDM35 to the motion system via the HIPERFACE DSL protocol, ensuring reliable and secure communication. The system supports integration into both standard motion control and safety applications due to its SIL 3 certification. When combined with SICK’s Telematic Data Collector gateway and application software, it enables predictive maintenance by detecting deviations from normal operation—such as abnormal vibrations or temperature spikes—allowing timely corrective actions before failures occur.

Operating Environment

The EDS/EDM35 is designed for reliable operation in industrial environments with a focus on continuous machine availability. It operates effectively under varying conditions, including fluctuating temperatures and humidity levels, thanks to its integrated air humidity sensor. The system supports real-time monitoring of temperature, pressure, movement, fill level, and vibration—critical indicators of mechanical health. The EDM35 ATEX variant is certified for use in hazardous areas (zone 2/22) with device category 3, ensuring safe operation in explosive atmospheres. Its robust design ensures stable performance across a wide range of industrial settings, making it ideal for applications where machine uptime and safety are paramount.

Industrial Applications

The EDS/EDM35 motor feedback system is widely used in industrial automation to support predictive maintenance and improve machine availability. It has been successfully applied in high-precision environments such as VFFS (Vacuum Filling and Sealing) machines, where early detection of motor faults prevents unexpected downtime. By continuously monitoring vibration, temperature, and other operational parameters, the system identifies deviations that may indicate bearing damage or imbalance before failure occurs. This enables proactive maintenance strategies, reducing unplanned stoppages and increasing overall productivity. The integration with SICK’s Telematic Data Collector and software allows centralized analysis of machine health across multiple units, supporting data-driven decision-making and optimizing plant availability.
