The Senix Difference
Senix's ToughSonic® ultrasonic level and distance sensors are built for durability, accuracy, and flexibility. Built tough for harsh processing conditions, ToughSonic sensors perform where others cannot—delivering continuous measurements to a local solution or IIoT system of the user's choice.
Senix sensors are compatible with BinCloud® software for convenient, comprehensive tank or inventory information. All workers—at one site or several—can review the same current data to streamline supply chains and simplify multi-site management.
Many Senix sensors can be quickly set up and adjusted using Senix’s powerful push-button setup technology. However, the real flexibility and versatility of Senix sensors are unlocked by pairing sensors with SensorView™ software, free with each sensor purchase. SensorView provides over 75 user-configurable options, settings, and ways to enhance the sensor, enabling users to tailor each sensor to their unique application.
No other sensor available on the market today includes all of the features available on ToughSonic sensors, including:
- Durable construction. General-purpose sensors are built with 316 stainless steel housings, while chemical-resistant sensors are made of PVDF to withstand use in chemical environments. All ToughSonic sensors have PUR jacketed cables and potted and protected electronics.
- Programmable software. All sensors include SensorView software, which allows for setup duplication of other sensors without recalibration.
- Built-in outputs, switches, and serial communication. Sensors come with built-in 0–10 VDC and 4–20 mA outputs, built-in switches, and choice of either RS-232 or RS-485 serial communication. The built-in switches can control liquid levels, alarms, relays, motors, lights, and more:
- Control the liquid level in a tank by setting the switch to turn a pump or valve ON or OFF at specific levels
- Set an alarm output to alert at high level, low level, or both
- Set switches to NPN type (sinking) or PNP type (sourcing) for universal compatibility
- Organization capabilities. Organize functions and responses using delays, initial power-up states, hysteresis and window modes, and loss of target states with an associated time delay.
- Filtering & processing options. These options allow filters to ignore turbulence, stirrers, waves, or other unwanted objects that would otherwise interfere with measurements.
- Averaging filters. Measurements can be averaged or the rate at which the outputs change can be limited.
Selectable measurement rates. Selectable measurement rates interface and control a wide variety of accessories, such as displays, alarms, relays, etc. - Built-in temperature compensation. ToughSonics offer built-in temperature compensation, used to compensate for changes in ambient air temperature, diurnal temperature swings, sensor self-heating, sunshine warming the sensor, cold ambient temperatures, or vibration. Dealing with rapid or extreme temperature fluctuations? Senix also offers an external temperature compensation accessory for accurate measurement during severe changes.
- Multi-sensor data network compatibility. Sensors can be connected in multi-sensor data networks to retrieve measurements and/or adjust sensors using SensorView. An entire collection of data-networked sensors can be managed, stored, and retrieved using a SensorView feature called Group Control, which permits an entire collection to be backed up, restored, or duplicated quickly.
