Overview

Based on long­term practical experiences the moisture measuring sensors are made for the toughest operations and industrial applications. DMMS is especially suitable for challenging applications. Up to 16 sensors are able to communicate digitally with a central evaluation unit. Wiring becomes easy by using bus­technology. That makes it simple to upgrade the measuring points. The bus­system can manage a max. length of 1.200 meter which allows you to cover even spacious estates. The calibration is made on­line within the process, so after the sensor has already been installed.

As a result the influences caused by the assembly situation can be immediately detected and compensated. The kind of measurement can be chosen for each sensor between continuous and batch operation (via start and stop signal). It's also possible to switch the material curves for each sensor (up to 16 different material curves per sensor). The transfer of the measuring values can be done digitally by Profibus DP or by analogue output (e.g. 4...20mA, 0...10V). If the sensor has to be replaced the calibration curves can be completely adopted ­ there's no additional effort. In almost every kind of bulk material a precise determination of the moisture can be done, e.g. sand, minerals, clay, grain, food stuff, saw dust, ores, sewage sludge and so on.
