Filling Level Measurement According to the Namur Standard

All tuning fork sensors from UWT's Vibranivo series can now also be fitted with inherently safe 2-wire electronics working according to the Namur standard IEC 60947-5-6. This makes the filling level measurement device compatible with all common supply devices compliant with this standard – a "world first for bulk materials handling", according to the manufacturer. Inherently safe wiring also allows opening and maintenance of the devices deployed during plant operation. This fact also facilitates simple and cost-effective housing designs. The tuning fork sensor permits direct connection to the supply device (e.g. isolation amplifier or PLC) with a Namur input and remote I/O output. The open standard permits manufacturer-independent, individual solutions.
