Transmitter software

MTS Systems has updated the free set-up software for the Level Plus model MG liquid-level transmitter.

The update revision 3.09 or higher, offers more capabilities when used with the latest model MG firmware.

The set-up software allows any user to connect the transmitter for Modbus or DDA to a personal computer using an RS485-to-RS232 converter. Once users are connected, they can set up, calculate and/or troubleshoot the transmitter without custom software or additional equipment.

The enhanced features allow for better performance in harsh applications with shock, vibration, fast filling, and/or mixing, especially when detecting both the product level and interface level.

By adjusting the features with support from MTS, user can achieve the desired performance despite the harsh conditions.

The transmitter satisfies the demand for a digital communication interface in the liquid-level market for vessels from 508 to 18,288 mm diameter. Outputs include Modbus, DDA (proprietary ASCII protocol) and Foundation Fieldbus.

The model features three-in-one measurement of the product level, interface level and temperature from a single process opening, eliminating the need for separate level and temperature gauges.

Designed for inventory control, it can provide volume measurement from a 100-point strap table that the user loads into the transmitter.
