Distance Ranging

Senix ToughSonic Ultrasonic Sensors Thrive in Distance Ranging Applications

ToughSonic® ultrasonic sensors excel at distance ranging without touching or damaging the target. They are widely used for collision avoidance in vehicles, and for obstacle avoidance in robotics and autonomous systems.

 

Senix sensors are easy to use, install, and configure. Their reliability sets them apart as a top choice for hundreds of industrial applications throughout the world.

 

Measurements are conveniently converted and sent to the user’s IoT solution of choice—a LAN, Public LoRa services, or BinCloud®, a Cloud-based inventory management software.

 

In industrial processing settings, ToughSonics are used for liquid level measurement in tanks and bins, and for object detection for security and inventory purposes.  For more information, visit the Material Handling, Water Monitoring, and Tank Level Monitoring pages.

Targets

A wide scope of targets can be detected with distance ranging. Ultrasonic technology is unaffected by texture, color, transparency, and the shape of the target. ToughSonic’s range depends on object size, shape, orientation, and sound absorption.

 

For example: small objects require the sensor to be placed closer to the item. Larger objects can be measured from farther away.

Demonstration of ToughSonic Distance Ranging Process

In an environment with variable conditions, touch-button “Teach” features allow the user to configure a sensor without a computer or software, simply using the push button and the Target Status Indicator LED on the back of the sensor.

 

 Set analog output endpoint distances for low and high values, and ultrasonic sensor measurement conversion rates. Synchronize multiple sensors. Activate or deactivate temperature compensation. Restore sensors to factory defaults with a single command.

 

Sensor settings are automatically stored; can be duplicated onto additional sensors


Connectivity of Senix Ultrasonics

Ultrasonic distance sensors connect with all common types of automation and telemetry equipment. Measurements are converted to data, which simultaneously delivers to the Cloud and connected equipment for efficient automation.

 

ToughSonics sensor measurements can be converted as quickly as 5 milliseconds, providing a speedy response if a process needs to be stopped or restarted.

 

Add BinMaster's BinCloud® software for real-time, on-site or remote visibility into liquid levels or distance measurements.
