Spray jet control using single-channel sensors

SPECTRO-1-FIO-JC single-channel spray jet sensor

The transmitted light fiber optic of the SPECTRO-1-FIO-JC single-channel version of a spray-jet monitoring system suits it ideally to use both inside and outside potentially explosive atmospheres. In this process, a parallel directed white light beam (a collimation of the white light is achieved by a suitable attachment optic) is directed onto the spray jet and the light arriving on the side opposite the spray jet is focused by a receiving optical attachment onto the front surface of the receiver fiber optic. The jet attenuation compared to the state when the spray jet is not present serves as a measure for the density of the spray jet.

The evaluation is supported easily by the SPECTRO1-SPRAY-CONTROL-Scope parametrization and monitoring software.

SPECTRO-1-CONLAS single channel evaluation unit

The SPECTRO-1-CONLAS single channel evaluation unit can be used to connect an A-LAS-N laser light barrier. The parametrization of the evaluation unit is performed using comprehensive SPECTRO1scope software in Windows® on the PC. In order to facilitate the interpretation of the measurement signals, an oscilloscope tool was added to the software to display the signals on the Windows® interface in real time. A diverse range of digital-series converters permits data exchange via USB Ethernet and RS232. Two digital outputs (0V/+24V), two digital inputs (0V/+24V) for external synchronization and an analog output (0V ... +10V switchable to 4mA ... 20mA) are also available.
