From LED digital displays to web server modules with visualisation software – the systems are flexibly adaptable and highly versatile.
Versatile Measurement Principles
Depending on the medium and application, different measurement principles are employed. Reliable point level measurement is ensured by level switches such as tuning fork sensors, rotary paddle detectors, capacitive sensors, or vibration rods. For continuous level measurement, guided wave radar systems or non-contact radar sensors are suitable. Additionally, interface measurement enables the precise detection of phase boundaries between different media, such as liquids of varying densities or solid and liquid phases, contributing to the optimisation of complex processes.
Flexibility in Visualisation
Visualisation solutions deliver information exactly where it is needed – whether in the production hall, the office, on mobile devices, or at external locations. Depending on the requirements, the range extends from simple digital displays to networked web server solutions that can also connect silo systems across multiple locations.
Centralised Control and Automation
Centralised access to fill levels in silos, tanks, and process containers optimises material procurement, saving time and costs. UWT’s NivoTec® series offers complete systems for level indication, trend analysis, data storage, and remote queries. These automated systems can be customised to fit specific plant concepts and integrate safety devices. Limit switch signals reliably control safety-critical modules such as pinch valves for overfill protection and prevention of incorrect filling. Optical and acoustic signal devices, such as horns, signal lights, and flashing lamps, further enhance safety.
Smart Alarm and Communication Solutions
The integrated visualisation software of the NivoTec® series enables alarms to be sent via email or SMS to authorised personnel, communicating material requirements, plant malfunctions, or critical fill levels. With a variety of interfaces, including 4-20mA, Modbus RTU, Ethernet, and digital inputs and outputs, the systems ensure seamless communication.
Local Display and Safety
For local display, the NivoLED® NL 9000 provides a reliable solution with 360° visibility and two-colour switching, even in hazardous areas. The signal light can be easily integrated into control cabinets or process systems and is compatible with standard level sensors as well as relay and transistor outputs.
UWT’s Versatile Level Monitoring Solutions:
- NivoTec® NT 3500 | Custom project visualisation
The NT 3500 system is ideal for reliable monitoring of fill and limit levels in silo, tank and process containers. It enables the visualisation and scheduling of fill levels via PCs, laptops, tablets and smartphones. Locations can be networked and interfaces to ERP systems can be established. This flexible system allows both old and new systems to be integrated and analysed, regardless of their size.
- NivoTec® NT 4500 | Standardised visualisation
The NT 4500 offers cost-efficient, standardised monitoring of up to 50 containers. Fill levels can be visualised on various devices via a web server system and several locations can be networked.
- NivoTec® NT 4600 | 7 inch touch panel visualisation
This system is designed for monitoring fill and limit levels via a 7” touch panel. It enables economical project planning and the evaluation of up to 15 level sensors and max. level indicators. The NT 4600 can be used as a built-in module in existing control cabinets or as a complete module in pre-wired control cabinets.
- NivoTec® NT 4700 | Level Indicator one container
The NT 4700 is perfectly suited for the local display of fill levels using a digital display. These modules are particularly cost-effective and flexible to install, making them an ideal solution for applications that require a simple and quick display.
- NivoTec® NT 4900 | Level indicator for control cabinet
This LED display module is designed for integration into existing control cabinets and offers an inexpensive option for the local display of fill levels via a 4-20 mA signal.
- NivoTec® NT 9000 | Local fill level display
The NT 9000 offers a direct display of 4-20 mA signals. It can be used with both passive two-wire and active four-wire sensors. The display unit enables the output of fill levels in volume, height, per cent or weight. The NT9 is suitable for indoor and outdoor use and thus enables quick and easy reading of values in easily accessible locations.
- NivoLED® NL 9000 | LED signal lamp
The NL 9000 is a compact LED indicator light that has been specially developed for potentially explosive areas. With its two-colour switching capability, 360° visibility and high luminosity, it enables reliable visualisation of switching statuses - even from a great distance. It can be flexibly mounted directly on the sensor, on the control cabinet, in process systems or on other electrical equipment.
Customised for every system
With the NivoTec® product range, the NivoLED® light and a wide selection of measurement technology solutions, UWT guarantees maximum precision and reliability in level monitoring - customised for every system. By integrating fully automated systems and comprehensive safety measures, the process industry is optimally supported and protected against potential risks.
