The Micropilot FMR56 is designed for level measurement in light-duty conditions such as solids silos or containers. The Micropilot is suitable for continuous, non-contact level measurement of powdered, granular and other bulk solids. The measured value is unaffected by dust, filling noise, temperature changes or gas phase media.
Benefits
Stable and reliable measurement, unaffected by changes in the medium and process conditions
HistoROM integrated data storage unit for fast commissioning, maintenance and diagnostics
High measuring reliability based on multi-echo tracking calculations, with accurate measurement even when obstacles are present in the silo
Hardware and software developed in accordance with IEC 61508; single instrument meets SIL2, SIL3 with homogeneous redundancy
Heartbeat Technology for efficient and safe plant operation throughout the entire life cycle
Seamless integration into control or asset management systems with an intuitive, menu-guided operating concept (on site or via the control system)
Certified by world-renowned SIL and WHG tests, saving you time and money
