SILO PATROL® SE INVENTORY MONITORING SYSTEM
-------------------
Manufacturer: Monitortech(USA)
Model: SMU SERIES
Introduction:
The Silo Patrol® SE Inventory Management System is an industry-leading cable-based smart level sensor system that is designed to handle some of the harshest and most dynamic conditions. The Silo Patrol SE system incorporates state-of-the-art sensors, a wide choice of operator interfaces, auxiliary outputs and displays, as well as unique remote/vendor managed inventory solutions.
The introduction of Silo Patrol several years ago delivered the first truly robust level sensor design, providing reliable and high value solutions for a wide variety of applications and industries worldwide. The Silo Patrol SE incorporates significant advances in this field-proven approach to reliably monitoring the level of material in bins, silos and tanks up to 150ft (45.7m) in height. The Silo Patrol SE level sensor technology is suitable for use with a multiplicity of powders, granules, slurries and liquids, even in the most harsh and dynamic conditions.
The heart of the Silo Patrol SE level measurement system is the sensor itself. The Model SMU (Silo Monitoring Unit), incorporates technological advancements, requires no field adjustments and its robust design provides virtually maintenance-free operation. The SMU is suited for most any application and can be equipped with a variety of mounting flanges and plumb bobs.
The Silo Patrol SE system also offers the most sensor interface choices:
• RS-485 “smart” communications output
• 4-20mA analog output
• AC/DC Pulse output
The “smart” RS-485 output version SMU can be connected with either the multi-functional HMI2 Operator Interface Control Console or with SiloTrack™ PC-based Inventory Management Software that provides a flexible graphical interface for up to 128 sensors.
If a stand alone level detection sensor with analog output and no operator interface display is what you are looking for, the SMU is available in this type of configuration at an affordable purchase price. The SMU is available as a truly stand alone analog output transmitter, including automatic measurement initiation and a relay output.
The SMU pulse output sensor is typically used for connecting into older Monitor Technologies inventory systems. This output version retrofits and replaces the older CM3A/CM4 sensors and uses the AC pulse output to connect to the old system console. The DC pulse output also included with the latest SMU pulse output version can be used to connect into existing PLC systems
