MonitorModel HMI2 -Multi-Functional Operator Interface Control Console

SHARE

The multi-functional HMI2 controls level sensor operations, displays measured and calculated data and performs/displays system and sensor diagnostic messages via two separate RS-485 communication networks. The HMI2 operator interface control console provides convenient, local interface for Monitor’s “Smart” RS-485 SiloPatrol® SMU SE cable-based inventory monitoring sensors, RadarRight(TM) non-contact radar level sensors and/or Flexar® guided wave radar level sensors. HMI2 allows for monitoring up to 32 SMU SE, RadarRight and/or Flexar sensors.

  • Two sensor networks with a capacity of 16 sensors each (32 total) are provided to
  • communicate with the “Smart” RS-485 versions of SiloPatrol® SMU SE cable-based level sensors, RadarRight non-contact level sensors and/or the Flexar® guided wave radar sensors.
  • Calculate and display values for level, volume, weight and percent with data input from the user
  • Enhanced volume and weight calculations have the ability to include the additional
  • amount of material contained in the roof sections of steep silo roofs below the sensor mounting location
  • Automatic, Manual or Auto/Manual operating modes provide versatility for SMU SE
  • Displays real-time measurement updates provided by Flexar sensors
  • Set-up parameters for Flexar can be modified using the HMI2
  • Built-in 16 point strapping table
  • Flexible display of data in English or Metric units including feet, meters, pounds, kilograms, cubic feet, cubic meters, U.S./British bushels, gallons,
  • liters, tons, metric tonnes
  • Programmable 12-character alphanumeric name for labeling vessel contents.

The HMI2 display screen can be easily switched to view calculated level, volume, weight or percent in addition to the basic distance measurement. The HMI2 can be programmed to operate the SMU SE “Smart” RS-485 sensors automatically, manually or allow for both. Menu options allow the user to select days of SMU SE operation (such as Mon.-Fri.), time window (such as 7 a.m.-3 p.m.) and measurement interval (minimum 30 minutes). Flexar’s measurements are updated automatic.

The built-in 16 point strapping table can be used to produce volumetric or gravimetric calculated readings if the dimensions of a vessel cannot be determined or the vessel is of an irregular shape.

A unique feature of the SiloPatrol® SE or Flexar® Inventory Management Systems is the ability to incorporate both relay and analog outputs with a standard "smart" output sensor system. These auxiliary relay and/or analog outputs are provided in optional Auxiliary Output Enclosures (AOE) and are programmed and controlled by either the HMI2 or SiloTrack™ PC-based Inventory Management Software.

One analog output and up to four relays (two for HMI2; four for SiloTrack) can be assigned to each of the “smart” output sensors. These can be used to tie the Inventory Management System into remote control systems, sound alarms and for local control functions.

Up to 16 analog outputs or 32 relays can be provided within a single enclosure. Up to four AOE’s can be connected on a single network. The AOE can be located close to the point of hardwiring termination minimizing wiring and installation costs.
