Simple, suitable and reliable – the new VEGAFLEX 80 guided wave radar sensors
Simple operation and intelligent software ensures reliability in measurement and saves time in setup and commissioning.
The next-generation VEGAFLEX guided wave radar sensors are on their way to ACHEMA. New hardware and software is combined with a simple, intelligent adjustment concept to form a solid foundation for reliable measurement of liquids and solids. The application spectrum of these advanced plics® sensors for level and interface measurement is now wider and more versatile than ever.About 10 years ago, VEGA turned the vision of a simple, standardised level and pressure measurement technology into reality with plics®. With this system, users can reduce costs throughout the entire product life cycle. The new VEGAFLEX series 80 guided radar sensors from VEGA are the logical further development of the plics® concept. Alongside the simple instrument selection and guided setup, measurement certainty and reliability are the focus of the new development.
Versatile and totally reliable
The application range of VEGAFLEX series 80 is now more versatile than ever. The user simply has to select the sensor version and the optional components best suited to their application. Cable, rod and tube versions, standard process fittings and application-optimised housings – combined with the electronic versions 4 ... 20 mA/Hart, Profibus PA, Foundation Fieldbus and Modbus – leave nothing to be desired.
The sensor’s intelligent signal processing automatically detects changes in the process conditions and dynamically adjusts itself to them. This enables reliable overfill detection as well as measurement under extremely difficult process conditions. Integrated memories for measured values, events and echo curves provide information on all important sensor and process statuses. Additional diagnostic algorithms and asset management functions according to NE 107 reduce maintenance work and repairs to a minimum.
And of course the sensors have all necessary approvals, from ATEX, FM and WHG (Water Resources Law) to SIL2/3.
