MEASUREMENT & MONITORING
MEETING INDUSTRY DEMAND
VEGA
Visible efficiency for process automation:
VEGA extends its level and pressure device portfolio
New compact VEGABAR pressure
sensors and VEGAPOINT level switches
mean VEGA is now a full-range process
automation level and pressure supplier.
These new lower-priced instruments are
designed for standard applications – in line
with the latest industry demands.
NEW STANDARD SENSORS WITH A
FOCUS ON HYGIENE
In many basic process areas, simple,
cost-effective automation sensors for
efficiency improvements are often the
key requirement. To meet this, VEGA
has introduced a new compact level and
pressure instrument series, designed to
be simple and highly efficient - without
sacrificing dependability, hygiene or
accuracy.
STANDARDISATION GIVES BIRTH
TO EFFICIENCY
A hygienic universal adapter system can be
flexibly selected and adapted according to
individual needs and, if necessary, quickly
exchanged between devices. It is fully
compatible across these new pressure and
level switches. They can also withstand
intense CIP processes, and along with
hygienic designs and surface finishes
comply to industry approvals and standards.
FP11 VEGAPOINT Capacitive Inductive
switches for liquids and powders. Above right,
VEGAPOINT 21 Bluetooth enables precise set
up and selection of status colours
VEGABAR units have optional switch points and indication built in as well as Bluetooth for set up
VISIBLE ALL AROUND:
ILLUMINATED 360° SWITCHING
STATUS DISPLAY
The sensor development focused on
simple use, and this includes fast and easy
indication. A 360° status display means
switching states can be quickly seen on
the plant, an ultra-bright LED ring, has 256
freely selectable colours and the remains
clearly visible, even in daylight. This
immediately and efficiently shows operators
both the switch and process status.
FIT FOR THE FUTURE WITH IO-LINK
The devices all feature IO-Link options, this
enables sensor parameters to be stored
and re-written to devices by the master
or the controller if a sensor replacement
is made, reducing set-up mistakes and
reducing down time. This ensures higher
product quality, more optimal utilisation of
the machines and increased process speed
– delivering noticeable savings.
BLUETOOTH FOR FASTER SET-UP
AND ADJUSTMENT
All these devices, like many others in the
VEGA instrument range, can be set up and
monitored using Bluetooth and VEGA Tools
App for Android and iOS. In environments
where access is difficult, distancing is in
place or the environment is inhospitable,
the remote communication - even in ATEX
areas – enables safer, faster and easier
device operation.
CONCLUSION: FUTURE-ORIENTED
AUTOMATION FROM A SINGLE
SOURCE
Hygienic design, modularisation, high
availability and easy operation means
greater process efficiency. Backed by
decades of experience, VEGA offers
ground-breaking level and pressure
measurement technology for the
automation and monitoring of production
systems.
