Sample Tank Level Configuration for DXM1X0-BX Models

This sample tank level application allows users to set alert ranges using action rules. A K50U Ultrasonic sensor monitors tanklevels. A Wireless TL70 Tower Light uses the red and yellow lights to signal tank levels.

This configuration file starts with a basic monitoring of the battery and incoming power to the DXM100-Bx Wireless Controller. Italso monitors the Universal Inputs of the DXM Controller and the time that it is operating on battery or a power supply.

In addition, the XML is designed to monitor the distance from a K50U ultrasonic sensor connected to the DXM100-Bx WirelessController using a Wireless Q45U Node. The results of the distance measurement are then transferred to a three-color (green,yellow, red) TL70 wireless stack light.

This provides the customer with a method for using a three-color tower light to indicate five statuses. The primary use of theNearing Too Full and Too Full red LED status was to allow the operator time to fill the tank.

Machine operators are more concerned with the Proper Amount (green), Nearing Empty (yellow). and the Empty (red) statuses.Generally, if the green light was not on, they wanted to start filling the tank. If during the tank filing operation the tank wasoverfilled, they also wanted time to take corrective action.

The XML configuration file includes examples of how to use the action rules for monitoring aspects of the DXM100, and there is a schedule set up for emailing stored logs on a weekly basis.
