a wide range of sensors

Such a system can only work effectively if the sensors are, of course, extremely precise and reliable in the measurements and the information transmitted. “Today we have a range of sensors that covers all needs in the field of level monitoring,” emphasizes Guy Deiber. What they have in common is easy handling with additional self-monitoring and diagnostic functions.

VEGA has three sensor families: VEGAPULS, VEGAFLEX AND VEGABAR. Models operate with either a wired connection for power and information feedback, or wireless if they have radar technology. You are then completely independent.

FLEXIBILITY AND ADVANCED FUNCTIONS

For remote measurement and control, some have a Bluetooth function. Others work with the IO-Link protocol, which allows the sensors to perform self-diagnostics to automatically verify their correct functioning.

Another advantage of the VEGA inventory system is the perfect connection to sensors from different brands, provided these are already installed at the customer’s site. In summary, the VIS solution offers great flexibility of use and is synonymous with security for the company that wants to equip itself with it.
