VEGA releases new radar sensor
VEGA released a new radar sensor, VEGAPULS 6X, capable of measuring in every conceivable level application. Traditionally, the search for a suitable radar level sensor begins by asking which frequency would be best for the specific application, or by determining the properties of the medium, the temperature ranges involved and the process fittings required.
“VEGA’s latest innovation makes the process of configuring your sensor simple,” said Scott Rollman, Director of Sales for VEGA Americas. “Our customers can now choose the very best sensor possible as dictated by the application that they have great knowledge about. The days of having to know many confusing model numbers and frequency ranges are over.”
VEGA’s sensors have optimized millions of industrial processes. Over the past 30 years, the company has achieved milestones such as the world’s first two-wire radar instrument and the first 80-GHz radar sensor for liquids on the market. Today, VEGA has over 1-MM instruments in use in diverse applications around the world.
The VEGAPULS 6X contains a new radar chip that provides expanded application possibilities and simpler operation, as well as a self-diagnosis system that immediately detects damage or interference. It is VEGA’s first 80-GHz sensor with SIL certification.
In addition, the VEGAPULS 6X is compliant with security standard IEC 62443-4-2, which specifies the strictest requirements for secure communication and access control.
“SIL certification means safety from the inside - the device itself - and IEC 62433 compliance means safety from external threats,” said Greg Tischler, Product Manager for VEGA Americas. “Together, these standards show that the VEGAPULS 6X offers the all-around safety users need in their processes.”
