MG Sanitary Magnetostrictive Liquid Level Sensors - MG Sanitary

Model MG Sanitary Magnetostrictive Liquid Level Sensors

Product Overview

The Level Plus(R) M-Series Model MG level transmitter satisfies the demand for a digital communication interface that offers the liquid-level marketplace unsurpassed flexibility to meet most process application conditions. The Level Plus Model MG transmitter provides 3-in-1 measurement using one process opening for product level, interface level, and temperature measurements. Once the transmitter is installed and calibrated there is no requirement for scheduled maintenance or recalibration.

Level Plus Model MG transmitters are modular in design, offering you a selection of electronic housing styles, transmitter pipe styles and wetted materials. The Level Plus Model MG transmitter features a removable sensing element and can also incorporate 1, 5, or 12 temperature measurement points depending on the output. Subject to local electrical codes, the sensing element and electronics housing can be removed from the transmitter pipe without disrupting the operation of your process saving you time and money.

Outputs for the Level Plus Model MG transmitter include Modbus, FOUNDATION™ fieldbus, and DDA (a proprietary ASCII protocol). Modbus and DDA outputs are communicated via a 4-wire multi-drop power and data bus (EIA 485), whereas FOUNDATION™ fieldbus has a specified 3-wire bus. Utilizing the bus network eliminates the requirements for individual cable runs from each tank and these three data formats provide a direct interface to most types of computers and digital communication equipment. Both Modbus and FOUNDATION(TM) fieldbus outputs also allow a user to measure volume from a 100 point strap table with the option for temperature correction.

Magnetostrictive Principle

Level Plus gauges are based on the magnetostrictive measuring technology, which is successfully used for more than 30 years at MTS. Magnetostriction is a combination of magnetic (non contact) and ultrasonic effects (speed control). According to MTS know-how, two magnetic fields interact, and a torsional strain pulse on the sensor element results. The running time of the the pulse is used to determine the level measurement with a high degree of accuracy and reliability. All Level Plus Tank Gauge systems base on this principle, which ensures a really innovative and promissing measuring system for continous level measurement.
