The next stage of development is here, plics®plus, a new innovation from VEGA.

With plics®plus, the ingenious modular concept is even better!

VEGAPULS – VEGA Radar Sensors Go High Definition.

Description

VEGAPULS radar level transmitters are evolving into the ‘plics®plus’ generation. Using latest, ultra-fast, efficient microprocessors, means the new radars can see 5 times higher definition ‘echo’ detail with increased accuracy. Improved signal processing delivers quicker level output changes, down to 250m/s.

Temperature ranges increase to 450 °C, new antenna options in Tantalum and Titanium, additional housings in dual chamber format – St.St. and plastic – offer new capabilities.  An optimised in-head programmer/display, ‘new style’ free to download PACTware software and new ‘plug-in’ terminal connectors, make deployment, set-up and commissioning even easier. ’plics®plus’ units are forward and backward compatible; new sensors and existing adjustment software, new radar electronics with current housings and antennas, or vice versa.
