Bring In IO-link Sensor Data for Tank Level Applications Wirelessly
Wirelessly integrate IO-link sensor data for tank level monitoring with Banner's DXM controllers and T30R sensors for accurate, remote data analysis.
-
Indicating Pump Panel Status
Banner's tower lighting solutions, such as an EZ-LIGHT TL50 Tower Light, can be mounted on top of the pump panel to easily communicate the status of the pump. The highly visible light tower allows employees to quickly check the panel, without needing to open the panel door. Multiple lights can be on simultaneously, so several messages can be conveyed at once, and the audible alert provides indication that the pump is overheating and immediate attention is required.

Wireless Tank Farm Monitoring in Unsafe or Harsh Conditions
With a SureCross Wireless Network, FlexPower Nodes are deployed at each tank without the need to run cables for power or I/O data transmission. Banner’s unique power management capability enables a Node equipped with a pressure sensor to operate for years on a single DX81 battery power supply.

Log Measurement
In this application, an EZ-ARRAY measuring light screen is being used to measure the length of the log. The EZ-ARRAY determines the total number of beams that are blocked by the log and communicates the length of the log to an operator station by sending the information to the system controller in the form of a MODBUS RTU-485 output. The operator station controller then provides a number of options to the operator, who selects which cuts are made.

Fill Level of Dry Material in a Hopper
An L-GAGE LT3 laser distance-gauging sensor, mounted above the hopper, measures the distance to the material's irregular surface, enabling a PLC to calculate the bin’s fill level.

Water Tower Level Monitoring and Pump Control
A submersible pressure sensor and float switches connected to a FlexPower™ Node provide constant monitoring of water tower levels and wirelessly transmits data to a Gateway mounted near the pumps.

Waste Water Management in a Land-fill Site
After careful consideration of several systems, the operators of the landfill determined that the Banner Wireless system was the only solution that could meet all imposed standards and seamlessly co-exist with other devices already in place at their site. With the help of integrator Wilson Mohr, they were able to create a system that could take data from below ground and make it accessible at the desk of the end user. One battery powered Node at the top of each well powers the radio and the ultrasonic analog level sensor. Each Node is equipped with a specialized low-power 4-20 mA analog level sensor and one 10-30V dc powered Gateway controls the system. The Data Radio and Modbus master controller module enhance portability of data and an omni-directional antenna extends the range of Gateway-Node communication up and over the hill and across the landfill site. Cutting-edge power management capabilities and an internal battery eliminate long haul cabling and create a greatly-reduced cost of installation. The wireless devices also have built-in diagnostic properties that send out alarms prior to complete shutdown, minimizing down time. They are also completely scalable and can adapt as the operators fill in and create new wells.

Monitoring Retention Pond Levels
Large facilities may have several runoff ponds in widely distributed locations. Using a wireless monitoring system eliminates the need for someone to drive out to each pond to monitor water levels.

Tank Level Monitoring
Using K50U ultrasonic sensors and Q45U wireless nodes paired to a DXM100 wireless controller, we can develop a wireless monitoring system for multiple tank level measurements that is easy to set up, interpret the results, and monitor locally through a cloud-based system.
