System configuration

Documented components; confirm the ordered configuration

Seven official product systems cover online process sensing, incoming-material inspection and continuous product analysis, with configurations adapted to material and installation conditions.

01MW-3000 analyser
02MW-3000E transmitter
03MW-3000R receiver
04MPC3000 industrial-PC control unit
05MW-3001E / MW-3001R high-power option

Installation, validation and supply

Influential variables and project boundary

MW-3000 integrates material only along the installed transmitter-receiver path. Alignment, empty-path state, bed depth, density, temperature, thickness, speed and the selected standard or high-power transmitter/receiver option must be recorded with validation data. Use representative, time-matched samples for calibration and a separate set for acceptance before control. The current product brochure lists MW-3000E, MW-3000R, MPC3000 and MW-3001E / MW-3001R as system elements or options; they are not automatically separate orderable products, and the final mechanical, control, interface and service scope follows the order.

Inside the measurement route

How this system fits into a working production line

Transmission measurement across a material bed with geometry review.

01

Measurement principle and represented volume

MW-3000 measures across a defined transmitter-receiver path and uses the complete system geometry to represent the moving bed.

02

How installation conditions influence the result

Place the two sides on one measurement axis with stable clearance. Record bed depth, density, temperature, speed and empty-path state with every validation set.

03

Signal, status and process context

Transmit the moisture value together with engineering units, valid and fault states, product or recipe identity, calibration version and timestamp. Align the value with transport delay before it reaches trends, alarms, PLC logic or quality records.

04

Calibration, acceptance and maintenance

Collect reference samples across the expected operating range, keep a separate acceptance set and record the installed geometry. Routine checks should cover sensor condition, reference residuals, invalid states and changes in material, density, temperature or product format.

The model name identifies a platform, while the working solution is defined by its transmitter or sensor option, controller, mechanical arrangement, signal interfaces and calibration. Product performance therefore remains linked to the supplied configuration and the application range demonstrated during validation.
