Filling level sensors - Conductive amplifier
Filling level and level sensors operate according to different measuring principles. The selection of the sensor depends on the medium to be detected and the ambient conditions. The material flow in a vibratory bowl can be excellently queried with inductive filling level sensors whose pendulum is moved by the material in the pot. The detection of liquid or solid media is, for instance, possible with capacitive filling level sensor technology. These work according to the principle of the condensator, the medium changes the dielectricity between two electrodes. The resulting change is converted into a digital output signal. A further alternative for the detection of filling levels of conductive media is provided by conductive filling level relays. The resistance between reference and measuring electrode is determined. If a set threshold is exceeded, a relay output switches.
