UniWave Electric
High-performance control assemblies integrated in level-sensing infrastructure, ensuring continuous system safety, circuit protection, and automated fluid automation.
In modern process automation, level sensors serve as critical sensory inputs that drive the logic loops of automated pumping systems, chemical storage arrays, waste-water processing plants, and energy distribution systems. High-accuracy level detection—utilizing contact methods like tuning forks and guided waves, or non-contact solutions such as 80GHz FMCW radar and ultrasonic telemetry—enables real-time tracking of fluid levels. These sensors constantly translate physical measurements into 4-20mA, HART, Modbus, or IO-Link protocols, which communicate with PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers).
However, the sensing element is only the "eyes" of the system. The physical execution—acting upon the sensor signals to activate valves, control high-power pumps, and isolate circuits—depends heavily on robust electrical protection equipment. Components such as Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCBs), AC/DC Contactors, Solid State Relays (SSRs), and Thermal Overload Relays must work in perfect synchronization with level sensors to protect equipment from phase failures, current spikes, and dry-running hazards.
