SECURITY FIRST

Developed and certified in compliance with the IEC 62443-4-2 standard for industrial cybersecurity, the radar level sensor VEGAPULS 6X is used for the continuous level measurement of liquids and bulk solids under all process conditions.

“VEGA is on a security mission. We recognise the increasing threat of cyber-criminality in industry and are taking action to combat it. The ability to use secure measurement data at all times is now one of the most important requirements of our customers. Not only does the production system as a whole have to be secure, but all the built-in components as well,” says Florian Burgert, who was involved in the conception of the universal level sensor from the very beginning.

Plant operators want equipment they can depend on in order to stay one step ahead of the latest threats. VEGA therefore plans to develop its future products in accordance with all existing security requirements right from the start. Protective measures will be consistently expanded to create a reliable basis for secure plant operation in the future. In addition to its compliance with cybersecurity measures, the VEGAPULS 6X offers the following features: Variable antenna systems ensure maintenance-free operation in all applications.

Exact measuring results are independent of process conditions. It uses a non-contact measuring principle. Its applicationoriented configuration enables a simple device selection.
