LW radar level sensor: IO-link benefits

With IO-Link, the LW free radar sensor can provide:

  • Higher measurement resolution than analog without scaling (1mm steps up to 15 m)
  • Internal device temperature of the sensor
  • Measured power supply voltage
  • Current device status and diagnostic information including signal strength (Good, Degraded, Bad) and cleaning required alert
  • Automatic device replacement

Data structure and process values

Device status and possible causes

0 Device is OK Sensor is operating normally
1 Maintenance required Cleaning of the sensor face is required
2 Out of specification Termperature over / under run, short circuit, check installation
3 Functional check Set the parameter [Reference height]
4 Failure No reflection signal, parameter error, hardware fault

IO-Link starter kit with LW2720

Experience IO-Link with the radar level sensor

With the starter kit for the radar level sensor, you have everything you need to start up the sensor. In this way, commissioning takes place in the shortest possible time and with minimal effort. The kit combines hardware and software and, with the included moneo license, offers you a convenient way to parameterize the radar sensor quickly and easily. In addition, in combination with an IO-Link master, you have the option of displaying the filling level via moneo and viewing it at any time.
