Monitor pressurized tank levels with the CMC-N16 wall-mount indicator. This configuration supports dual pressure sensor inputs, enabling differential pressure-based level measurement with visualization, data logging, and remote monitoring capabilities.
The CMC-N16-PS3/ETE/E/E/FUN2-0B1 is a specific configuration of the CMC-N16 wall-mounted process indicator designed for accurately monitoring liquid levels in pressurized tanks. This configuration is particularly well-suited for applications where direct level measurement is challenging or impractical, such as in high-temperature, high-pressure, or corrosive environments.
By utilizing two pressure sensors, one at the top and one at the bottom of the tank, the CMC-N16 can effectively calculate the differential pressure. This differential pressure is directly proportional to the liquid level within the tank, providing a reliable and indirect method of level measurement. The FUN2 input module offers two universal inputs suitable for connecting a wide variety of pressure sensors with different output signals (e.g., 4-20mA, 0-10V, mV). This flexibility allows for compatibility with existing sensor infrastructure and simplifies system integration.
The large 3.5-inch display of the CMC-N16 provides a clear and intuitive visualization of the calculated level. The display can be customized to show the level in various units (e.g., percent, meters, feet), along with other relevant process parameters like top pressure and bottom pressure. Multiple display screens can be configured to cycle automatically, providing a comprehensive overview of the tank’s status at a glance.
Furthermore, the CMC-N16 allows for the upload of custom tank images. This feature enables operators to overlay real-time level readings onto a visual representation of the tank, providing a clear and contextualized understanding of the process. This is particularly useful in complex installations with multiple tanks or where visual confirmation of levels is critical for safety or process optimization.
The Ethernet connectivity of the ETE communication module facilitates seamless integration with SCADA systems and industrial networks. This allows for remote monitoring, data logging, and analysis of tank levels, enabling proactive maintenance and process optimization. The optional front USB host port (0B1) provides convenient access for data export, configuration backup, and firmware updates.
Typical applications for the CMC-N16-PS3/ETE/E/E/FUN2-0B1 include:
- Chemical processing: Monitoring levels in pressurized reactors and storage tanks.
- Oil and gas: Measuring levels in separators, storage vessels, and pipelines.
- Pharmaceutical: Ensuring precise levels in mixing tanks and bioreactors.
- Food and beverage: Monitoring levels in pressurized fermentation tanks and storage silos.
- Water treatment: Measuring levels in pressurized filters and clarifiers.
This specific CMC-N16 configuration offers a robust and versatile solution for pressurized tank level measurement. Its combination of dual universal inputs, powerful processing capabilities, and a user-friendly interface makes it an ideal choice for demanding industrial and research applications.
