The SiloPatrol® SE
Inventory Monitoring System is the first truly robust cable-based
smart sensor system. It is a field-proven approach to reliably
monitoring the level of material in bins, silos and tanks up
to 150 ft (45.7 m) in height.
The SiloPatrol system
also features software interfaces. The SiloTrack™ PC-based
Inventory Management Software Version 3.0 has expanded capabilities
including an easy-to-use Setup Wizard, foreign language customization,
standard report generator and easy handling of multiple sensor
vessels. This is in addition to the other outstanding features
of SiloTrack such
as server/client capability and remote access/inventory monitoring.
Using the
available SiloPatrol Wireless
Interface in your application may help you reduce the installed
cost of the system. The SiloPatrol wireless
transceivers use frequency-hopping spread-spectrum wireless
technology and operate in the FCC license-free 900MHz band.
This provides the longest range and most reliable wireless
communications available.
The
SafePoint® rotary paddle level switch with a self-validating design
detects material presence plus continuously monitors its own ability
to function. The analysis includes sensor health and system power
failure, which makes the SafePoint truly fail-safe.
The SafePoint incorporates patented use of Hall-Effect technology,
dual outputs to indicate both material presence and unit health,
and microcontroller technology to continuously protect bulk solids
processing and storage from the consequences of unknown sensor
failure by providing immediate indication of a sensor failure
and confirmation of proper operation.
Other practical features of the SafePoint include rugged construction,
motor shut-off when paddle becomes impeded to maximize motor life, twist On/Off
cover for bolt free removal, and local status indicating light (except hazardous
location models)
A practical application for the SafePoint would be to use this "true"
fail-safe product if undetected sensor failure could result in a
catastrophic process problem.
