Litronic FMS P80-CAN planar sensor

The CAN bus is used in on- and off-road applications, vehicles in the construction and agricultural sectors as well as in engines. The CAN bus is integrated in the sensor.

The sensor meets critical EMC and environmental requirements. The signals are integrated and processed directly in the customer’s control. The CAN bus signals communicate directly with the control apparatus.

Measurement by the Liebherr sensor system is based on the physical principle of capacitance determination in the high-frequency stray field.

In addition to their high precision and robustness, the sensor system from Bad Schussenried is characterised by its reproducibility.

Each CAN sensor is individually calibrated and final tested.

Advantages

  • Indirect measuring method: Capacity determination in the high frequency stray field. This method uses the different dielectric constant (permittivity) of water and different materials (solids and liquids).
  • Fully reproducible sensors: If the plant is subsequently extended with sensors or if sensors are replaced, no recalibration is necessary thanks to the built-in microprocessor.
  • Waterproof and dustproof: The sensor is also suitable for the harshest environments thanks to its IP68/IPX9K protection class.
  • Process control and regulation: Thanks to extensive interfaces, the moisture measurement can be integrated into process control systems and controls.
  • Cost saving: Time-consuming and costly laboratory analyses are no longer necessary or can be reduced.
  • Temperature measurement/temperature compensation: The sensor can also be used to determine the temperature of the medium.
  • Limit values: Maximum or minimum limits can be set using the software. Light or sound signals can be triggered if required.
  • Median filter and mean value calculator: The sensor passes on already averaged values to the higher-level control.
