• Motion sensing
Siemens Milltronics probes work on the principle of Faraday’s
Laws of Electromagnetic Induction. When a ferromagnetic ob-
ject enters the probe’s permanent magnetic field, it distorts the
flux, causing its coil windings to generate a voltage. This voltage
is proportional to the strength of the magnet and the number of
wire turns in the coil (constant in the probes) and the speed at
which the ferrous target passes through the flux. The generated
voltage is also inversely proportional to the square of the dis-
tance between the target and the probe.
The robust motion sensors provide the contacts to shut down
machinery whenever under-speed, over-speed or plant equip-
ment failure occurs. On belt, drag and screw conveyors, or on

Acoustic sensor for pump monitoring
SITRANS DA400

■ Overview dition of an oscillating displacement pump is monitored in every

phase of its operation.
The SITRANS DA400 is used in all industries where a oscillating
displacement pump is used.
The version for material flow monitoring monitors the material
flow in liquids or gases that is usually as a result of impact or fric-
tion, e.g. againgst the pipe or channel wall.
If the acoustic diagnostic unit is used in potentially explosive ar-
eas, the sensors as well as the acoustic diagnostic unit can be
installed in the Ex-zone.
If using the unit in potentially explosive areas, you have two op-
tions:
• Operation of the sensors over the ex-barriers or
• Operation of the sensors over the SITRANS DA400 with explo-
sion protection.

Acoustic sensors for material flow monitoring
SITRANS AS100

■ Overview ■ Application
SITRANS AS100 detects changes in high frequency sound
waves from equipment and materials in motion. It detects and re-
acts instantly to changes in solids flow to warn of blockages,
product absence, or equipment failure such as burst filter bags.
This allows an operator to take early preventative action and
avoid costly damage.
Common applications include pellets, powders and most bulk
solids in pipes, chutes, vibratory feeders, pneumatic conveyors
or aerated gravity flow systems.
Operating with a SITRANS CU02 control unit, the system detects
conditions of high flow, low flow or no flow. It can be added to a
control loop via a 4 to 20 mA output. Two relays are fully pro-
grammable and independent of each other and can be used to
operate an alarm or control device.
With no moving parts and a type 304 or 303 stainless steel en-
closure sealed against dust and moisture, this non-invasive unit
requires little or no maintenance. With a dual operating range,
the sensor offers an exceptionally wide range of application ca-

Interconnection

The longer the cable, the more susceptible it is to noise and

earth loops. It is therefore recommended to use cable with
heavy gauge conductors and good RF/electrical shielding
(copper braid rather than drain and foil). A proper junction box
close to the sensor is an ideal location not only to extend the
cable but also to configure the wiring for high or low sensitivity
range operation.

gauges where distances are considerable.

Motion sensors
Milltronics MFA 4p

■ Overview ■ Application
The MFA 4p detects changes in the motion and speed of rotat-
ing, reciprocating or conveying equipment. It warns of equip-
ment malfunction and signals through contacts to shut down ma-
chinery in case of a slowdown or failure. Its reliability makes it a
cost-effective way to protect valuable process equipment.
The single setpoint system suits most industrial applications.
This versatile unit can be used on tail pulley shafts, driven pul-
leys, motor shaft sensing, belt or drag conveyors, screw con-
veyor flights, bucket elevators, fans and pumps.
A special feature is the adjustable 0 to 60 second time delay, al-
lowing the monitored device to accelerate to normal running
speed before monitoring begins. A wide range of probes are
available to suit specific needs, including high temperatures,
corrosive, and Class I, II and III installations. The CE approval al-
lows the MFA 4p to consistently meet the needs of the mining ag-
gregate, cement and other primary and secondary industries.
• Key Applications: tail pulleys, motor shaft sensing, screw con-
veyor flights, bucket elevators
MFA 4p motion failure alarm controller is a highly sensitive single
setpoint motion sensor system, used with Milltronics MSP and
XPP probes.

■ Benefits
• Up to 100 mm (4”) gap between target and probe
• Switch selectable overspeed or underspeed detection
• Setpoint adjustment 2 to 3000 PPM (pulses/minute)
• Adjustable start-up time delay
• Visual indication of probe operation and relay status
• General purpose, suitable for majority of industrial applica-
tions; rugged probe designs provide unmatched reliability

Milltronics Millpulse 600

■ Overview ■ Design
Mounting
The Millpulse 600 should be mounted in an area classified as
non-hazardous, that is suitable to the enclosure rating and ma-
terials and is within the temperature range specified. The cap
should be accessible to allow for wiring and viewing of the status
display LED.
When mounting the Millpulse onto a vibration-free structure, use
the supplied mounting flange to ensure that there is no danger
of the target damaging the unit.
Where possible, mount the probe so the cable inlet is pointing
downward to avoid accumulation of condensation in the casing.
Where wiring must be run in conduit, use a flexible conduit for
easier removal or adjustment of the probe. Keep the Millpulse
away from high voltage or current runs, contractors and the SCR
drives.
Do not connect the Millpulse 600 directly to supply.

Milltronics Millpulse 600 is a heavy-duty 2-wire motion sensor

that provides solid state switch output to PLCs between 18 to
135 V AC or DC.

■ Benefits
• Up to 100 mm (4”) gap between Millpulse and targets
• Two-wire unit
• PLC compatible
• Rugged, low maintenance suitable for tough environments

■ Application
Millpulse supplies cost effective equipment protection even in
the harshest conditions.
This rugged unit is impervious to dust, dirt, build-up and mois-
ture, and is ideal for such primary industries as mining, aggre-
gate and cement plants. Operating where other systems are
prone to failure, the non-contacting design eliminates the need
for lubricating, cleaning and part replacement. It will reduce
downtime and clean-up expenses associated with conveying
equipment failure. Its pulse output can be used to minimize spill-
age, prevent damage, detect fire caused by belt slippage at the
head pulley and warn of other conveyor malfunction.
8
The Millpulse 600 offers underspeed, overspeed, differential
speed and speed indication functions by a PLC. With an all alu-
minum body, it operates from -40 to +60 °C (-40 to +140 °F).
• Key Applications: tail pulleys, driven pulleys, motor shaft sens-
ing, screw conveyor flights, bucket elevators
