Micropulse magnetostrictive linear transducers from Balluff-MultiSwitch are now available with integrated Profibus-DP, and automatic baud rate detection by the transducer assures trouble-free startup
A feature of the Microsonic ultrasonic sensors is their ability to operate in harsh, dirty environments where other sensors cannot be considered.
The principle of ultrasonic measurement using sound waves means that the sensors can detect virtually all materials which reflect sound regardless of colour or texture, without being affected by dust laden air or ink mists.
The photograph features a Microsonic mic-601 sensor with 6m range operating in a cement silo.
The deposits of cement dust on the sensor membrane do not impair its operation, and the fact that the membrane vibrates to produce the sound wave means that the unit is actually 'self cleaning'.
The featured unit is available with single or dual switched outputs with adjustable hysteresis settings or with a proportional analogue current or voltage output.
