Level Measurement in Bearing Cooling Ponds: 700 mm Capacitive Sensing with Modbus RTU

说明与用途

连续电容式测量实现了对冷却池水位的早期检测、自动补水控制，并减少了人工检查，提高了工厂安全和效率。

问题

Traditional float switches and manual dips only provide state, not trend, causing late detection of abnormal water levels in bearing cooling ponds with suspended solids and foam.

结果

Continuous capacitive level sensing enabled early detection of abnormal pond levels, automated refill control, and reduced reliance on manual checks, improving plant safety and efficiency.

工作流

• Select a KSLV605 capacitive level transmitter suitable for 700 mm range.
• Suspend the probe vertically in the pond centre or side.
• Run the cable through corrugated conduit to protect against flow and wear.
• Commission the probe using its on‑site LCD display to verify verticality and clearance.
• Map the Modbus registers in the PLC and configure low/high thresholds for refill control.
• Test refill logic by observing real fill cycles and adjusting thresholds as needed.
• Schedule regular inspections of the probe for adhesion buildup.
• Monitor continuous level data to detect trends and trigger automated refill.

证据

Float switches and manual dips report a state; they do not report a trend, so abnormal levels are detected late.
