Switch Flashcards
Which newly introduced sensors have helped VEGA complete its portfolio for the Food, Beveraga and Pharma Industries?
Point Level
Pressure
The VEGA tools app allows you to configure and diagnose on both the pressure and point level sensors with Bluetooth
True
Ceramic pressure cells offer which benefits
Extremely abrasion resistant
long term stability
higher measurement accuracy
low maintenance requirements
How many color options does the 360 degrees switching status offer on the newly introduced VEGA devices?
256
The VEGAPOINT 30 series is meant for liquids
False - it is meant for light bulk solids while the VEGA 10 and 20 are meant for liquids
Can the VEGAPOINT 23 be programmed to tell the difference between buildup and submersion in product?
Yes
5 Different switch technologies
Vibration, Capacitance, Microwave Barrier
Vibration Switches
Liquids and solids VEGASWING VEGAWAVE VEGAWIB Plug and play
VEGASWING - Vibration switch
Vibration Switch
1200 Ghz - Piezo drive - if SG = 0.5 or lighter forks won’t respond. Look for frequency being damped. For liquids
VEGAVIB - Vibration switch
Vibration Switch
350 Hz. Look for amplitude being damped
For granular solids. Carbocer coating (reduces dust).
Detection of solids under water. Can do level under waver (point level no continuous)
VEGAWAVE - Vibration switch
Vibration Switch
200 Hz. Look for amplitude being damped
Detection of solids under water.
Can do level under waver (point level no continuous)
Tight spaces no approvals
VEGASWING 51
VEGASWING 63
Ammonia - endless length up to 6 meters
Microwave Barrier Switch
Liquids and solids sentitivity adjustment time delay for falling product works just like radar high temperature option available PULS 62 basically - 26 GHz ceramic on one end level detection independent of the medium
VEGAMIP
Anything you do with a PULSE 62 you can do with VEGAMIP. Set up is done in the receiver VEGAMIP T61 Emitter - needs power VEGAMIP R 61 Receiver - needs power VEGAMIP R 62 High temps and abrasive
Capacitance Switches
Liquids and solids Conductive and non conductive options monitors change in standing capacitance requires set up in actual use (must see product) once set up very repeatable sticky products - very good!
VEGASWING 66
High temperatures High Pressures -196 C to 450 C temperature distance piece inconel 718 material on forks inductive drive second line of defense (ceramic)
Capacitance
The ability of a body to hold an electrical charge and the amount of that charge is measure in picofarads
Conductive limit switches - no approvals
Liquids
Switch point adjustment - rod/cable length
point level indication
VEGASWING series 50
Vibration point level switches for liquids
VEGASWING 51 = compact (not good with sticky products)
VEGASWING 53 = extended up to 1m Not continuous LED like the VEGA POINT 3 individuals LEDs depending on switch estate - red, yellow, green No bluetooth can not configure IO link available
VEAPOINT series 10,20,30
VEGAPOINT 10 and 20 = Liquids
VEGAPOINT 30 = solids
PNP for transistor connection
Switch the plus on the output
PNP = sourcing
NPN for transistor connection
Switch the negative on the output
NPN = sinking
NO equals MIN
Normally open you have o volts then when it hits the setpoint then you have 24 volts
NO=MIN (OUT 2)
NC equals Max
Normally closed you have 24 volts then when it hits setpoint then you have 0 volts
NC = MAX (OUT 1)
VEGAPOINT 21
Water based media (more than 10% water)
& oils and sticky media
