Non-Contact Tank Level Monitoring for ControlByWeb Systems
The CMB-T05M1W and CMB-T16M1W combine MaxBotix ultrasonic tank level sensors with a ControlByWeb-specific 1-Wire interface, custom M12 connection, and customized configuration for use with compatible ControlByWeb IoT edge controllers.
Ultrasonic sensing provides non-contact measurement of the distance between the sensor and the surface of the material inside a tank. The measured distance can be used as part of a ControlByWeb system to monitor tank levels, generate alarms, log conditions, or support automated control.
Choose the 5m model for shorter-range applications or the 16.5m 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-T05M1W and CMB-T16M1W are based on MaxBotix ultrasonic tank sensors and modified and configured by ControlByWeb for use with compatible CBW systems.
Both models use a 1-Wire interface and custom M12 connection for integration with supported ControlByWeb controllers. The primary difference between the two models is their sensing range.
