Vega’s simple radar formula for better processes

Vega has developed a new level radar sensor that it says can measure in virtually every conceivable application. The time when users had to choose their level instrument from a multitude of different types are now history. VEGAPULS 6X provides one device for all and a new selection and ordering method that is customer-application focused. It enables complete, correct configuration and even pre-calibration of the specific sensor required – for any application, whether for liquids or bulk solids.

“Ultimately, it’s not the sensor that counts, but what the users can achieve with it in their individual processes,” says Florian Burgert, who, as a product manager, has been closely involved in product development from the very beginning. “Just knowing that they’ve chosen the best possible measurement solution and that they’ll reach their goal faster with it, makes a big difference in their everyday operations.”

Features of the new VEGAPULS 6X include a self-diagnosis system that immediately detects damage or interference, that ensures significantly high availability and safety. It also has new radar-chip technology, with expanded application possibilities, better than ever performance and simpler operation.

The radar features SIL certification, and compliance with the latest cyber-security standard IEC 62443-4-2, which meets the strict requirements for secure communication and access control.

The value lies in making it easier for users to select their device and monitor their industrial processes. The ultimate purpose of VEGAPULS 6X is just that - maximum simplification - one sensor that can handle virtually any application. In the future, the customer will no longer have to worry about the technology, model numbers, frequency or instrument version. In many cases, all application-specific settings can be made in VEGAPULS 6X before it leaves the factory, so it’s just left for the user to install, connect, done: It doesn’t get any simpler.
