Managers can monitor the level in storage tanks without leaving the office using a sensor and wireless monitor.
The intended application
for the MG transmitter and Level-
Mate Monitor is in tanks with line
power from a local source but no
communication lines to the control
room.
MTS Sensors uses its Level
Plus Model MG liquid-level
transmitter to measure the level
in storage tanks. The tank-level
reading goes via Modbus to the
OleumTech LevelMate Monitor.
The Monitor uses the licensefree
902-928-MHz ISM band
with FHSS (frequency-hopping
spread spectrum) and FSK (frequency-shifting key) modulation
technology. It beams sensor data
back to a control room where an
OleumTech DataHub resides. The
output from the DataHub goes to
a fieldbus controller that sends
the information to the Internet.
Viewers can open the Web site
and poll the unit to find the last
measurement.
