Level controllers monitor, regulate, and control liquid or solid levels in a process.
Understanding Level Controllers
Level controllers receive input from a level-sensing device and respond accordingly based on the device and user specifications. Level controllers may be used in conjunction with pump systems, in storage tanks or reservoirs, and other applications.
The following video displays a typical level controller application involving two liquid storage tanks.
