TThe SmartBob2 remote is the core component of a proven, reliable
level measurement system using cable-based sensoring technology.
When combined with its powerful Windows-based eBob software
program and remote push-button control consoles, SmartBob2
offers the strongest and smartest cable-based inventory measurement
system on the market today – with the ability to manage
from one up to 128 bins of heights up to 180 feet. |

The SmartBob-TS1 sensor is an economical and compact inventory
tracking system that has been designed to measure solids,
powders, liquids or slurries in smaller bins, tanks and silos.
The compact, yet rugged design can be mounted on angled or
flat roofs and can be used in vessels up to 30 feet tall.
Accessories include a variety of mounting flanges to accommodate
from 0° and 40° roof angles, pipe extensions to provide cable
protection, a selection of probes suitable for a variety of
materials, and a gearbox motor heater for when operating temperatures
fall below 32°. |

eBob Inventory Management Software is designed to help users
gather real-time inventory data from storage bins. The eBob
program works in conjunction with BinMaster SmartBob2 remote
level sensors to provide measurement data to a personal computer.
This bin measurement monitoring solution collects data from
up to 100 vessels and allows for data to be viewed via LAN
network connections by authorized users. eBob software generates
reports that can be used to increase operational efficiency
and provide valuable real-time and historical data used for
effective decision making. |

The SmartBob2 console – C-100 – is the easiest
way to remotely initiate and view measurements from multiple
SmartBob2 sensors. This compact, manually-operated console
provides fast measurement readings from one up to 128 SmartBob
remotes at a single location … with the push of a button.
The SmartBob consolecan be used alone or integrated into a
network using eBob software. It provides basic, local control
and monitoring of a single SmartBob remote or a network of
up to 128 SmartBob remotes at a networked site. |

The RSU serves as a simple interface between a single SmartBob
remote and a program logic controller (PLC) or distributed
control system (DCS) allowing the PLC or DCS to initiate a
measurement and retrieve data. The RSU also provides a remote
display and can be used to initiate a manual or timed measurement.
The measurement on the screen is displayed in distance to
product, height of product, and percent of product in the
storage vessel in English or metric units. |

The SmartBob2 Momentum Universal Communication Module (MUCM)
enables the operator to tie SmartBob2 remotes into an existing
control system is used when performing communication translations
between serial protocols. The MUCM has a pre-loaded SmartBob2
application that has been compiled and downloaded into its
Flash memory. The standard SmartBob2 MUCM allows a Modbus
serial master to gather data from up to 32 BinMaster SmartBob2
remotes. The MUCM is easy to program and eliminates the need
for analog input and output cards. |

BinMaster's wireless transceiver eliminates the need for
running long spans of communication cable between SmartBob
remotes mounted high on the top of bins and the control
source on the ground... whether it be a PC, an SBC-1000
control console, or a Remote Start Unit. It provides for
two-way data communication and enables installations at
challenging sites where running extensive cabling is expensive
and unfeasible. |

The SmartBob2 high temperature remote is for applications
where the process temperature is between 240°F and 500°F.
The high temperature model is configured with additional components
that when installed properly, will safely operate in temperatures
up to 500°F. A stainless steel standpipe is used to extend
the remote away from the heat source and a stainless steel
pipe extension fitted with a Teflon cable guide keeps the
sensor probe out of the standpipe and level with the top of
the bin. A standard air purge nipple allows a small amount
of air to circulate through the mechanical cavity of the remote,
helping it maintain an acceptable operating temperature. |

The pipe extension is an optional feature that is attached
to the 3" NPT SmartBob2 mount and should be used to extend
the SmartBob seat through standoff pipes, insulation or other
obstructions. The pipe extension keeps the sensor probe from
being pulled up into the standpipe, acts as a bushing, and
prevents the cable from fraying on sharp objects if the sensor
probe should swing while taking a measurement. It also helps
keep the sensor probe flush with the top of the bin. |
