The introduction of SiloPatrol several years ago delivered the first truly robust sensor design, providing reliable and high-value solutions for a wide variety of applications and industries worldwide. The second edition SiloPatrol incorporates significant advances in this field-proven approach to reliably monitoring the level of material in bins, silos, and tanks up to 150 ft (45.7 m) in height. The SiloPatrol SE sensor technology is suitable for use with a multiplicity of powders, granules, slurries, and liquids, even in the most harsh and dynamic conditions.
The heart of the SiloPatrol SE system is the sensor itself. The second edition sensor, Model SMU (Silo Monitoring Unit), incorporates technological advancements, requires no field adjustments, and its robust design provides virtually maintenance-free operation. The SMU is suited for most any application and can be equipped with a variety of mounting flanges and plumb bobs.
The SiloPatrol SE system also offers the most sensor interface choices:
- RS485 "smart" communications output
- 4-20 mA analog output
- AC/DC Pulse output
If a stand-alone sensor with analog output and no operator interface display is what you're looking for, the SMU is available in this type of configuration at an affordable purchase price. The second edition SMU is available as a truly stand-alone analog output transmitter, including automatic measurement initiation and a relay output.
The SMU pulse output sensor is typically used for connecting to older Monitor Technologies inventory systems. This output version retrofits and replaces the older CM3A/CM4 sensors and uses the AC pulse output to connect to the old system console. The DC pulse output also included with the second edition SMU pulse output version can be used to connect into existing PLC systems.
Note: 6-3103 cast aluminum plumb bob is included with each SMU.

Principle of Operation
N/A
Once a measurement cycle is initiated, the SiloPatro SE sensor (SMU) "smart" motor system controls the descent of a plumb bob, attached to a heavy-duty stainless steel cable, into the vessel. The SMU measures the amount of cable dispensed via its unique optical sensing system. The SMU's optic system is completely sealed from the internal environment of the electronics compartment, which is isolated and sealed from material ingress in the mechanical com partment, to ensure long-term reliable operation.

Applications
N/A
The SiloPatrol® SE Inventory Management System can be used in a wide variety of applications. These include, but are not limited to, simple inventory moni toring with a standalone HMI display to Remote and Vendor managed inventory solutions using SiloTrack™ server and client software to manage inventories at multiple facilities while providing access to a virtually unlimited number of users.
|
Remote Inventory Monitoring
N/A If material levels need to be monitored at one or many locations (i.e. your facility, a location down the street, or a plant on the other side of the world) the SiloPatroI® SE system can provide accurate and reliable measurements. Using SiloTrack" Version 3.5 software, inventory monitoring from remote locations has never been easier. |
Wireless Sensor Communications Interface
Wireless Sensor Communication Interface |
N/A
While using the SiloPatroI® SE "smart" sensor is the most economical approach avail able for inventory monitoring, using the available wireless Interface in your application may help you reduce the installed cost of your SiloTrack" / SiloPatroI SE system even further.
The wireless transceivers use frequency-hopping spreadpectrum wireless technology and operate in the FCC licensefree 900 MHz band. This provides the longest range and most reliable wireless communications available. Working in conjunction with SiloTrack™ PC-Based inventory management software, the wireless transceivers provide the most functional and economical inventory management system available today. Refer to Bulletin 343D for additional information and contact our technical support personnel today to see if your application can benefit from the a wireless communications solution. |

SiloTrack™ Version 3.5 Inventory Management Software provides users with an unsurpassed, flexible graphical interface for SiloPatrol SE "smart" output sensors. Together, SiloTrack Server and Client soft ware can provide inventory monitoring and management to a virtually unlimited number of users, both internal and external to your facility. This allows easy implementation of remote monitoring and vendor managed inventory programs. |
Use of Volume / Weight Calculations
N/A
The SiloPatrol® Si Model SMU sensor makes a direct measurement of the distance between the sensor and the material surface. This equipment does not meas ure the volume or weight of the material within the vessel. The HMI and SiloTrack™ PC-based software, when used with a Silofatrol SE "smart" output sensor, may be able to perform calculations to display the vol ume and weight of the material. These calculations are based upon the distance measurement and the vessel dimensions and material bulk density entered by the user during setup.
