Non-Contact Tank Level Monitoring for ControlByWeb Systems
The CMB-T05MAM and CMB-T16MAM combine MaxBotix ultrasonic tank level sensors with a ControlByWeb-specific 4–20 mA interface, custom M12 connection, and customized configuration for use with compatible ControlByWeb IoT edge controller.
Ultrasonic sensing provides non-contact measurement of the distance between the sensor and the surface of the material inside a tank. The measured distance is converted to a 4–20 mA signal for integration with compatible ControlByWeb analog inputs.
Choose the 5 m model for shorter-range applications or the 16.5 m model when a longer sensing range is required.
Common Applications
- Water tank level monitoring
- Chemical and process tank monitoring
- Storage tank level monitoring
- Liquid level monitoring
- Remote tank monitoring and alarming
- Non-contact distance measurement
ControlByWeb Integration
The CMB-T05MAM and CMB-T16MAM are based on MaxBotix ultrasonic tank sensors and modified and configured by ControlByWeb for use with compatible CBW systems.
Both models use a 4–20 mA interface and custom M12 connection for integration with supported ControlByWeb analog input controllers and expansion modules. The primary difference between the two models is their sensing range.
