2.2 Principle of operation
Area of application
VEGASWING S 52 is a level sensor with tuning
fork for level detection.
It is designed for use in liquids in the food
processing and pharmaceutical industry.
Fault monitoring
The electronics module of VEGASWING S 52
continuously monitors via frequency evaluation the
following criteria:
Strong corrosion or damage on the tuning fork
l
loss of vibration
l
Line break to the piezo drive
l
If a malfunction is detected or in case of power
failure, the electronics takes on a defined switching
condition, i.e. the output transistor blocks (safe
condition).
Functional principle
The tuning fork is piezoelectrically energised and
vibrates at its mechanical resonance frequency of
approx. 1200 Hz. The piezos are fixed mechan-
ically and are hence not subject to temperature
shock limitations. The frequency changes when the
tuning fork is covered by the medium. This change
is detected by the integrated oscillator and
converted into a switching command.
