Product overview

YW801R provides field level data to controllers, PLCs and gateways. Measurement, communications and pump control are separate parts of the system.

Functions and integration

Level data

Observe storage changes, filling operations and abnormal levels.

Bus access

RS485 Modbus RTU maps measurements to supervisory points.

Remote access

An external 4G gateway uploads measurements for trends and alarms.

Control combinations

Combine with pump controllers and level switches while keeping field protection independently configured.

Applications and operating workflow

Water tanks

Review level trends and filling operations.

Distributed vessels

Group multiple locations through gateway and platform access.

Selection and system combinations

Use the transmitter for liquid-level acquisition in pools and tanks. The sensor provides measurements; selected controllers and platform architecture perform pump/valve switching and cross-site coordination.

Product integration and applications

01

Connect the level point to a local RS485 system

YW801R serves as a level point for a PLC, controller or industrial gateway using a Modbus RTU master. For multiple tanks or pools on one bus, map device addresses to physical locations and consistent units. The sensor provides level measurements while the supervisory system displays, records and interprets them for pump rooms, storage and auxiliary water management.

02

Aggregate distributed level points through a gateway

An external 4G gateway collects RS485 data and uploads it from pools without fixed networking or close access to an operator room. Organize live level, trends and events by tank, pump room or site. A separate controller handles pump or valve commands. This division supports an initial monitoring phase followed by alarms, operating feedback or integrated control.

03

Match the range and installation to the site

The 0–3m range covers the corresponding level variation. Locate the probe with normal and maximum level and maintenance access in mind. Compare site references, sensor readings and platform readings at low, middle and high levels to check units and mapping. For level-based control, the control system organizes hysteresis, delays and low/high-level conditions alongside pump and valve operation.

Selection questions

Does an existing PLC installation also need a 4G gateway?

An existing RS485 Modbus RTU master can acquire data locally. Add a 4G gateway or another connection when remote access is required, according to the site networking design.

How can level trends support operations?

Trends show filling, consumption and high/low-level changes. Combine them with pump status, pressure or flow to organize inspection, events and equipment management.

Frequently asked questions

Is 4G built into the probe?

The RS485 probe uses an external 4G gateway for remote access.

Does it switch a pump directly?

It provides measurement data; a suitable controller and switching circuit operate the pump.
