Profibus option for suspended solids
A
Mobrey Measurement product story
Edited by the Manufacturingtalk editorial team
Apr 29, 2005
Solartron Mobrey's MSL600 sludge blanket level sensor, MSM400 suspended solids density meter and MSP900SP level sensor are all now available with Profibus.
Solartron Mobrey has announced the first Profibus digital communications option for sludge monitoring and wet wells.
The company's market leading MSL600 sludge blanket level sensor, MSM400 suspended solids density meter and MSP900SP level sensor are all now available with Profibus, enabling cost and efficiency savings for water processing and industrial effluent treatment plants.
The Profibus industry standard communications protocol allows system integrators to multiplex a whole series of instruments from different manufacturers on one two-wire loop.
Set-up and interrogation, including data logging and analysis for all the instruments can be carried out from a single PC or hand-held communicator in the control room, or anywhere on the loop.
As a result companies can significantly reduce costs associated with installation and commissioning.
The Solartron Mobrey range for water and effluent processing includes instruments for level measurement in wet wells and settlement tanks, and measurement of percentage suspended solids in sludges and slurries.
Systems are available for applications from basic compliance with Environmental Agency regulations for final effluent discharge, to more complex measurements including clarifier tank levels and suspended solids measurements, flocculent dosing and sludge density.
Product manager Tim Chettle comments: "We are the first manufacturer to be able to offer Profibus for sludge monitoring.
We have taken this step in response to demand from the industry and the growing popularity of Profibus, especially for new-build sites.
The installed base of Profibus instruments world-wide has topped 10M and there are now more than 2,500 Profibus-compatible products.
It is a growing market, and Solartron Mobrey is committed to maintaining its lead by continuing to bring out new products which help customers monitor their processes more efficiently.".
