Acoustic sensor monitors solids in pipes, filters
Using stress wave technology developed for non-destructive aerospace testing, the Pulsarguard acoustic sensor is ideally suited to the tricky problem of monitoring the flow of solids in pipes
In many production plants there is no need for local display or even control, and level readings are fed directly back into the site PLC, Scada, or other distributed control system.
In this situation the "extra" features on most ultrasonic systems are wasted.
So, rather than having to buy a complex ultrasonic system with "bells and whistles" that the customer may not need but has to pay for anyway, the Blackbox range allows users to select the output they need for their specific application.
For example, Blackbox 130 has a 4-20mA output, whereas Blackbox 133 has a pair of control relays.
Blackbox 134 features an RS485 interface for Modbus or Profibus digital communications.
What all the Blackbox units have in common is the world-leading Pulsar Datem echo processing software onboard, so customers can be confident that they are benefiting from the most versatile and effective ultrasonic system on the market.
Pulsar believes that all commonly encountered requirements are covered by Blackbox units, and Blackbox fits into the wider range of Pulsar ultrasonic equipment that cover all other eventualities.
Blackbox units operate with the full range of Pulsar dB transducers, giving a measurement range from as little as 125mm right through to 25m.
Programming the units is simply done via a special handheld programmer, or from one of two PC software programs.
Setup software is included with the Blackbox units, and there is an optional Blackbox PC package that includes diagnostics and the capability to view echo profiles. Request a free brochure from Pulsar Process Measurement ...
