GET LEVEL VIA MODBUS

MNU Series ultrasonic sensors are self-contained sensors that measure distance, level or volume, with a standard Modbus RTU protocol (RS-485) output. Units come in sensing ranges from 4 in. to 40 ft., and feature an accuracy of ±0.25% of detected range and resolutions of 0.1 in. (2.5 mm). MNU level sensor users can also access their data remotely.

RADAR READING

DR6300 Series non-contact level meter provides distance, level, volume and mass measurements of powders, granulates and other solids. Its frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar reportedly gives a more stable measurement than pulse radar. An easy-to-navigate display features a choice of touchscreens, such as tank illustration, bar graph, oscilloscope, signal and reflectivity.

MEASURES GRANULAR VOLUMES

VM3D volumetric laser scanner measures volumes of bulk granular material stockpiles stored in the open or in large silos, bunkers, domes and sheds. The unit uses a narrow-beam laser and mechanical scanning technology that results in a tight cloud of data points for developing a surface map and calculating volume. Dust tubes keep lenses clear and heated optics prevent condensation.

TWO FOR ONE

Deltabar FMD71 level transmitter uses two pressure sensor modules, each connected electronically to one transmitter. The transmitter calculates the differential pressure from both sensors and transmits the level, volume, or mass via 4-20 mA with HART as a standard two-wire loop-powered device. The electronics eliminate the clogging and leaking associated with traditional DP measurement.
