Product Details:
- Capacitive sensors utilize a non-contact sensing technology that detects a wide variety of materials. These sensors make use of a compensation electrode, and most come with sensitivity adjustments that allow a designer to tune out certain materials such as glass or plastic, making this type of sensor a common choice for point level applications.
- When working with liquids or bulk material,capacitive sensors help to detect levels andprovide an overview of the production processat any time.
- For consumption monitoringand requirements planning, obtaininginformation on limit levels is essential inorder to enable early planning and ensuresmooth processes.Whether in the plastics, packaging orchemical industry, or in mobile equipment,capacitive sensors reliably detect all solidmaterials, liquids, metals and non-metals.Detection is also possible through non-metallicmaterials as well as container walls.
- The BCT series with IO-Link reduces the time and expenditure required for setting switch points and extends the usefulness of the measuring signals through the digitized 12-bit process value. Efficient commissioning The switch states of the BCT sensors can either be taught via integrated buttons, a teach adapter or the IO-Link interface. Parameter setting via IO-Link is particularly efficient, since the setting is carried out with self-explanatory standard commands.
- The optimum operating point of the sensor can thus be calculated automatically and output as a 12-bit process value.
- The parameter setting is carried out more quickly, is more precise and incorrect settings are prevented.
- If specific adaptions are required, all the settings can be adjusted via the IO-Link interface. Switch signal with added value The digitized process value means that the detection of the medium can be represented as a quantity so that the smallest parameter deviations can be detected precisely.
- Changes in measuring conditions or different media can be determined reliably.
- Empty or full teach functionality.
- Changing media.
- Quality of the medium
BC – Capacitive sensors for standard applications:
- BC series sensors are indispensable in standard applications. They are provided with moisture and condensation compensation. Whether installed flat on a pipe or tube, through a plastic or glass wall, the medium is always detected.
- With Ex approval.
- In chemical resistant housings.
- Ideal for: Water, ink (solvent-based), fertilizers, road salt, fine gravel, metal, wood, paper.
Maximum flexibility IO-Link enables parameters to be set centrally without requiring the sensor to be accessible. The digital data transmission is based on a 24 V signal. Shielded cables and grounding systems for the transmission of analog signals thus become unnecessary.
Reliable detection The sensors of the BCT and BCF series are not affected by deposits and conductive films on container walls. They also feature a special filter for moisture compensation, which masks out deposits on the container wall and prevents a drifting of the switch point.
BCC – Capacitive sensors for bulk materials of statically charged media:
BCC series sensors are optimized for the detection of dry bulk materials. The detection of powders or granulates, also through particularly large wall thicknesses, are not a problem for the sensors. Due to their special shielding, the sensors are also reliably protected from static discharges.
No risk of failure due to ESD.
Increased protection from EMC interference Ideal for: Plastic granules, wood pellets, wood chip.
