The pms ultrasonic sensors

are designed for the most demanding hygienic requirements according to EHEDG guidelines. Two versions of the sensor are available: D12 adapter shaft and D12 bayonet catch. The standard version D12 adapter shaft is mounted with a hygienic screw connection BF-pms/A1 or an adequate mounting clip.

The innovative design of the stainless steel housing ensures that the pms sensor has no horizontal surfaces in almost all conceivable installation positions. Even with horizontal installation of the hygienic sensor for measuring vertical downwards, the rear side of the housing maintains an angle of ≥ 3°. Cleaning fluids can safely drain off the housing.

Stainless-steel sensor in wash-down design, all horizontal surfaces are at least inclined by 3°

The smooth stainless steel housing has a roughness depth of Ra < 0.8 µm and has no crevices and dirt edges. Besides the sensor design, the right material is crucial. The ultrasonic transducer is protected by a PTFE foil and withstands chemically aggressive cleaning agents and disinfectants. The pms has a high endurance and is ECOLAB certified.

Versatile applications in the beverage, food, and pharmaceutical industries

In der Lebensmittelindustrie müssen Gebinde oder Behältnisse gezählt und positioniert, auf Förderbändern der Volumenstrom kontrolliert ebenso auch in Schalen abgefüllte Lebensmittel auf korrekten Füllstand bzw. das Füllgut auf Vollständigkeit geprüft werden. Zwei pms Ultraschallsensoren überwachen den Inhalt der Verpackungsschalen für Obst auf Vollständigkeit. Zum Beispiel 2 x pms-25/F ... mit jeweils einem Push-Pull-Schaltausgang für die Höhenabfrage.
Der pms Ultraschallsensor erkennt Glas- und PET-Flaschen im Tastbetrieb und hält den Reinigungsintervallen eines Abfüllers stand. Der Sensor ist mit der Hygienic Sensorverschraubung BF-pms/A1 hygienegerecht montiert. Beispielsweise pms-25/F ... mit einem Push-Pull-Schaltausgang für das Zählen der Flaschen.
In der Pharmaindustrie müssen Ampullen und Flaschen gezählt und der Volumenstrom im Abfüllprozess kontrolliert werden. Auf einem Drehteller kontrolliert ein pms Sensor den Volumenstrom der Glasampullen vor der Abfüllanlage. Zum Beispiel pms-35/U ... mit Spannungsausgang 0-10 V.

Beverage industry

The pms ultrasonic sensor detects glass and PET bottles in operating mode and withstands the cleaning intervals of filling machines. The sensor is mounted with the hygienic sensor mounting BF-pms/A1. For example, pms-25/F ... with Push-Pull switching output to count bottles.

Within the pharma industry

ampoules and glass vials have to be counted and the volume flow in the filling level process has to be controlled. On a turntable, a pms sensor controls the volume flow of glass vials ahead of the filling line. For example, pms-35/U ... with voltage output 0-10 V.

Within the food industry

containers have to be counted or positioned, volume flow checked on conveyor belts, or food items have to be controlled on filling level and completeness. Two pms ultrasonic sensors monitor the completeness of apples in packaging boxes. For example, 2 x pms-25/F ... each with Push-Pull switching output for height control.

For the pms sensor family

there are 2 output stages and 4 detection ranges available:

Configuring pms Sensors Using Teach-in

Sensors with switching output have three operating modes:

  • Single switching point
  • Two-way reflective barrier
  • Window mode

Teach-in of a single switching point

  • Place object to be detected (1) at the desired distance
  • Apply +UB to pin 2 for about 3 seconds
  • Then apply +UB to pin 2 again for about 1 second
Teach-in of a switching point

Teach-in of a two-way reflective barrier ultrasonic sensor
Teach-in of a two-way reflective barrier

Teach-in of a two-way reflective barrier

with a fixed reflector

  • Apply +UB to pin 2 for about 3 seconds
  • Then apply +UB to pin 2 again for about 10 seconds

For setting an analogue output

  • initially position the object to be detected on the sensor-close window limit (1) 
  • Apply +UB to pin 2 for about 3 seconds 
  • Move the object to the sensor-distant window limit (2) 
  • Then apply +UB to pin 2 again for about 1 second
Teach-in of an analogue characteristic or a window with two switching points

To set a window

with two switching points on a single switch output, the procedure is the same as setting the analogue.

NCC/NOC

and rising/falling analogue characteristic curve can also be set via pin 2.

LinkControl

consist of LinkControl-Adapter LCA-2 and LinkControl-Software and permits the configuration of pms sensors via PC or laptop with all conventional Windows® operating systems. For configuration of pms sensors, the additional adapter Adapter 5G/M12-4G/M12/M8 needed

Sensor connected to the PC via LCA-2 for programming

With the hygienic screw connection

BF-pms/A1 (accessory), the pms sensor is mounted hygienically. The screw connection has a ECOLAB and EHEDG certificate.

IO-Link integrated

in version 1.1. The pms ultrasonic sensors are equipped with Smart Sensor Profile, which creates more transparency between IO-Link devices.
