Published on : Saturday 10-08-2024

Heartbeat Technology offers verification and monitoring functions to identify anomalies.

Micropilot FMR62B from Endress+Hauser is part of the new generation of 80 GHz radar sensors. It is used for continuous non-contact level measurement in challenging liquid applications. It masters process requirements like high temperatures, high process pressure as well as changing media. Testing concepts for SIL-locking and proof tests reduces the risk of systematic errors. Heartbeat Technology offers verification and monitoring functions to identify anomalies for increased safety and productivity.
