plics® − easy is better Instrument platform plics® The plics® idea is simple: Each instrument is assembled from prefabricated components once the order is received. This modular design allows full flexibility when selecting the required sensor features. You receive your customised, user-friendly instrument within an amazingly short time. The best part: these instruments are more cost-effective and advantageous in every way – throughout their entire life cycle. Display and adjustment The display and adjustment module PLICSCOM is used for measured value indication, adjustment and diagnosis...

Dam of the hydroelectric power plant Reliable Reliable flow measurement allows reliable detection of leaks in the dam Cost effective Sensor with high protection rating for long service life, even under extremely humid conditions of the dam (another indicator of the condition of the dam is the clouding of the The seepage water in the dam of the hydroelectric plant is collected in pipes or channels. The quantity of seepage water provides information on the condition seepage water which is also assessed). The quantity of water flowing in an open channel is measured via water head height as it...

Reliable Reliable level switch protects the tunnel system from rocks and sand Cost effective Flushing only on demand User friendly Automatic operation Water inlet at the reservoir Level measurement and point level detection of stones and sand in the water basin If the natural flow of water into a reservoir is not sufficient for optimal energy production, additional water is fed into the reservoir via ducts or tunnels from water catchments that can be up to several kilometres distant. Coarse debris is held back by massive grids at the main water inlet. Smaller stones, grit and sand can...

Reliable Protection against flooding of the turbine building with high reliability water level detection of the seepage shaft Cost effective Optimal operation and monitoring of the pumps User friendly Easy installation, even in tight spaces Turbine building hydroelectric power plant Level and point level detection in the seepage water shaft At the lowest point of the hydroelectric power station, cooling water from the generators and any leakage water from the Kaplan or Francis turbines is collected in a seepage water shaft, pit or sump. To prevent a flooding of the shaft and thus of the...

Reliable Ensures reliable efficient, optimal operation of the hydroelectric plant Cost effective Maintenance-free measurement User friendly Simple installation on existing structures Reservoir at pumped storage power plants Reservoir level measurement Pumped storage power plants store a large amount of energy and feed it into the grid very quickly when necessary. One important parameter is the height of the water level in the reservoir. It allows calculations to be made about the amount of energy available and the existing storage volume in pump operation mode. High reliability is required...

Expansion tank in a thermal solar plant Highly overload-resistant measuring Level and pressure measurement in the expansion tank for heat transfer fluid (HTF) The solar heat captured in the mirror system of a thermal solar plant is trans- Cost effective ported via a heat transfer fluid (HTF) to the steam generator at the central Accurate level measurement for optimal turbine. The HTF normally has a temperature between 300 °C and 400 °C. utilization of the container volumes There are different containers for the fluid across the plant and the varying User friendly measured to operate the plant...

Gearbox oil tank in a wind turbine Reliable Oil tank point level detection in the rotor gearbox Media-independent switching point In wind turbines, efficiency has top priority: the higher the availability of a Cost effective turbine, the higher the profitability and the faster the investment pays off. Wind Protection against wear through power is transferred from the turbine to the generator via a rotor gearbox. Full lubrication of all moving parts ensures a long service life and high availability User friendly to be constantly and reliably monitored. Compact dimensions allow easy of the...
