An Operator Interface Is A Good Choice For Centralizing Data
Retrieval from Multiple Continuous Level Sensors
To efficiently oversee multiple bin level sensors and provide reliable
inventory management without having to visit each sensor, connecting
all of the continuous level sensors to a central operator interface can
be a practical solution. There can be a variety of operator interfaces
to choose from depending on your situation.
For example, Monitor Technologies offers two types of operator interfaces
for its "Smart" RS-485
continuous level sensors - the HMI2 control
console and the SiloTrack PC-based software called. The control
console can provide local operator interface when access to a PC is not
available or when environments are too harsh for a regular computer.
The software option is ideal when remote inventory management is desired
or when electronic record keeping is needed.
Enhanced HMI2 Local
Operator Interface Control Console For Continuous Level Sensors
The latest version of the HMI2 control
console provides local operator interface for Monitor Technologies’ continuous
level sensors. The HMI2 has two RS-485 networks, with a capacity of 16
sensors each, to support up to 32 Flexar® guided
wave radar level sensors and/or SiloPatrol® SMU
SE “smart” cable-based level sensors. The
multi-functional HMI2 displays measured & calculated data
and performs/displays system and sensor diagnostic messages for the Flexar
and SiloPatrol SMU SE “smart” sensors.
NEW! Flexar’s
real-time continuous output can now be viewed on the HMI2 display
for immediate level measurement updates.
NEW! The
HMI2 contains a built-in strapping table to produce volumetric
or gravimetric calculated readings if the dimensions of a vessel cannot
be determined or the vessel is of an irregular shape.
NEW! The
HMI2’s enhanced volume & weight calculations can
include the additional amount of material contained in the roof section
of storage silos with steep roofs (30 degree angle for example).
The HMI2 combined
with the Flexar and/or SiloPatrol can create practical level measurement
solutions for most powder / bulk solids materials
and many liquid applications.
