Industrial Control Radar Level Gauge FMR62B for PLC Programming

Industrial Control Radar Level Gauge FMR62B for PLC Programming

The E+H Micropilot FMR62B radar sensor is part of the new generation of 80 GHz radar sensors. It is used for continuous non-contact level measurement in challenging liquid applications. It masters process requirements like high temperatures, high process pressure, and changing media. The FMR62B features guided SIL-locking, verification, and proof testing for reduction of systematic errors. It also offers reliable measurement thanks to strong signal focusing, even with multiple internal fixtures. An intuitive user interface enables easy, guided commissioning. Heartbeat Technology offers verification and monitoring functions to identify anomalies for increased safety and productivity.

The Micropilot FMR62B is suitable for free-space applications up to 80m and offers high beam focusing for vessels with many internal fittings.

Field of application

Micropilot FMR62B is part of the new generation of 80 GHz radar sensors. It is used for continuous non-contact level measurement in challenging liquid applications.
