Level Monitoring & Control


Our controllers and level sensors provide a complete level monitoring solution for liquids and solids. They’re accessible on local or remote networks.

Local or Remote Level Monitoring & Tank Monitoring

We make level monitoring and control, whether local or remote, reliable and affordable with sensors and controllers that last for years with little to no maintenance. Our industrial-grade hardware and easy-to-use programmable interface enables municipalities, growers, systems integrators, and more to quickly deploy accurate and durable control systems almost anywhere.

Monitor liquid levels and solids with four different types of monitoring technologies: non-guided radar, ultrasonic, float, and pressure. Whether you have an IBC tank, tote, silo, or chemical injection tank, ControlByWeb has the best level monitoring system for your application.

Features

  • Remote monitoring of multiple tanks
  • Email & text alerts for user-defined thresholds
  • View and send logged data
  • No code on-device logic
  • API for sending data to other control systems
  • No cloud required

Common Level Problems

Sensor Types & Applications

Ultrasonic

Ultrasonic sensors are ideal for liquid level monitoring and measurement with few application challenges and where budget is a priority. Ultrasonics use sound waves to detect a level surface and work well with reflective liquids like water. Distance to the surface is based on time of flight whereas the speed of sound is a known variable.

Float

Float sensors are for liquid level measurement and typically use magnets in the float and in the float guide or stem to determine the level surface. Our float level sensors are designed for use in hazardous locations and work great in oil and gas applications. They’re even capable of interface level measurement with dual floats.

Non-Guided Radar

Radar sensors use microwaves at varying frequencies. This is another time of flight measurement technology as the speed of the microwaves through the air is known. Radar sensors are better in difficult liquid level monitoring applications and is the clear choice for solids.

Pressure

Submersible pressure transducers are for liquids and do well in deep wells where sound and radar waves cannot reach. They’re common in water wells and lift stations. They work by measuring the head pressure above the sensor and are scaled by the density of the liquid.

Typical Applications

Tank Level Monitoring System

Tank level monitoring presents many challenges with a variety of liquids, solids, mounting options, and different shapes and sizes of containers. Our level sensors give you the flexibility you need to measure accurately and our controllers let you turn data into action. Our tank monitoring systems make your job easier.

Pump & Valve Control

Controlling levels with pumps and valves requires several inputs, including level and pressure. Our programmable controllers feature a broad range of I/O capabilities with easy task-building firmware so you can carefully control your process and ensure maximum uptime for your equipment.

Water Level Monitoring

Our solutions are perfect for monitoring water, whether in a tank, well, channel, lake or river. Ultrasonic and radar sensors excel at water level monitoring, and our edge programmable logic controllers let you manage your water with ease. We work provide solutions for such industries as Water/Wastewater, Agriculture, Chemical, Oil and Gas, and more.

Remote Monitoring & Control

Pair a level sensor with a ControlByWeb controller to remotely monitor liquid levels, control pumps and valves to maintain tank levels, view log files, and send tank level information to existing monitoring systems. Program the device with our intuitive, built-in Task Builder and let the device control all logic, without needing to rely on any cloud services.

Tank Level Alarms

Our I/O controllers can be programmed for both local and remote alarms. Email alarms can be programmed with logic conditions to prevent false alarms or to fine tune specific event alerts. High and low alarms can be programmed to sound a local alert, turn on a light, or notify staff via email.

Redundant Tank Monitoring

ControlByWeb devices are uniquely affordable among programmable logic controllers. This makes adding a layer of redundancy both easy and inexpensive. Whether or pump control, valve control, or simple email alerts, we excel at providing a reliable redundant system.
