Control Systems

The paperless recorder PCE-KD7 can be used as a data logger in measurement and control systems. The application area of ​​this paperless recorder includes the measurement, visualization, monitoring and storage of process variables in various industrial branches, eg in the pharmaceutical, food or chemical industry. In addition to the analogue standard signals in the form of currents and voltages, this digital paperless recorder can also process different types of thermocouples and resistance temperature sensors on up to 12 channels. It is also possible to retrieve up to 16 measured values ​​via the digital interfaces Ethernet or RS-485 and also to store them.

For industrial continuous production of wood pellets, chips, sawdust and similar materials when on-line moisture measurement for monitoring and controlling the drying and mixing process is important. Consistent quality of every batch, reduction of the consumption of materials, and shortest possible drying and mixing times are the criteria which are important in materials production. The PCE-MWM 300P moisture test sensor of PCE Instruments helps meet those criteria through highly accurate moisture measurement.

The moisture sensor is a sensor for measuring moisture of sand consisting of a central probe surrounded by four other probes. The probes and sensor housing are made of stainless steel AISI 321. Our moisture sensor is ideally suited for installation in tanks with liquid materials such as fuel oil, sludge from cement production, fuels (CWF).

- Readability mass fraction of water: 0 ... 100%
- Moisture measurement range: ± 0.1 ... 100% (water mass fraction))
- Maximum permissible absolute error moisture measurement: Varies by material, lab test required
- Temperature range: +5 ... +76 °C

Designed specifically for use in humidity measurement of bulk materials, this moisture sensor is installed in bins, silos, troughs, bunkers case, distributors, augers and conveyors. Material in bulk or flowing mass, such as fibrous materials, gravel, sawdust, fly ash (mineral), wood chips (surface to 5 cm) feed grain, flour, seed, pastes, ... is continuously measurable.

The PCE-A-315 inline or in-process moisture sensor provides exceptionally accurate grain moisture measurement in real time. The PCE-A-315 in-process moisture meter uses low-power microwaves to penetrate the surface every 0.2 second and obtain interior moisture readings without causing any damage. An integrated temperature probe ensures the readings are accurate from 5°C to 55°C / 41°F to 131°F. Suitable for the continuous monitoring of moisture in corn, soybeans, wheat, rice, sorghum, barley, oats, rye, hops, green coffee, cocoa beans, oil seeds, flax seeds, sunflower seeds, poppy seeds, pumpkin seeds, spelt seeds, buckwheat, sesame, peas, fava beans, scarlet runner beans, triticale, amaranth and jatropha.

- Boasts a measurement range of 5% to 40% for moisture content during
  continuous mass flow with an error of just ±0.5% from 5% to 18% grain
  moisture
- Lowers energy costs by enabling shorter drying times and reduces labor costs
  by automating the moisture monitoring process
- Provides nearly maintenance-free operation, delivering consistently accurate
  moisture readings over time
- Analog output of 4 to 20 mA can be converted to digital for dryer control

The PCE-SM2 DIN rail measuring device is suitable for making analog signals bus-capable. Different analog signals such as 0 ... 20 mA, 0 ... 10 V, PT100 etc. are converted from the DIN rail measuring instrument to RS485 Modbus. The transmission method via Modbus is RTU or ASCII. The DIN rail measuring device is mounted on a DIN rail. The DIN rail measuring device is parameterized via the front-end RS232 interface and the configuration software.

- Input channels: 4
- Inputs: PT100, 0/4 ... 20 mA, 0 ... 10 V, 0 ... 40 Ω
- Interface: RS485 Modbus (ASCII RTU)
