Remote access options
The Netsonix range is further enhanced by the multitude of wireless
connectivity types which can be used on the unit. The technologies
available are WiFi, Bluetooth, GPRS, Radio communications and
SMS polling. Using these wireless options reduce the cost of ownership
substantially as the time and cost of installation of the instruments
are reduced.
Typical applications
A typical application for which the Netsonix Ultrasonic Level
Transmitter is ideal is remote pump stations that are commonly
used by water supply and water treatment plants. A plant or factory
may need to monitor a level in a sump, the flow rate of the liquid
that is pumped to or from the pump station and may need to monitor
the status of the bearing temperatures on various pumps. By using
a single Netsonix Level Transmitter, combined with the digital
temperature probes and a flow transmitter one is able to monitor
the status of a remote pump station. The Netsonix Level Transmitter
can also be set up to monitor open channel flow measurement with
various preprogrammed shapes of flumes and weirs in the configuration
menu. The information regarding the measurements taken, can be
sent via a wireless device which forms part of the Network, which
will then transmit the information to the control room where the
data obtained can be viewed using KAB OPC software combined with
an OPC compliant SCADA package.
