Features:
- Two ultrasonic channels provide continuous non-contact level measurement through compatible Siemens transducers.
- The selected wall-mount version includes four M20 cable glands, 100 to 230 V AC input, and three relay outputs.
- Built-in RS 485 Modbus communication operates independently of the echo-measurement wiring.
Each measuring point on Siemens 7ML5033-1BA10-1A sends an excitation pulse to its transducer and receives the echo required to calculate level.
Temperature correction and false-echo processing in 7ML5033-1BA10-1A stabilize the value before the controller updates its display, current output, and assigned relays.
Programming access for 7ML5033-1BA10-1A can use the handheld interface, SIMATIC PDM, or Dolphin Plus without converting the two-point hardware into a different order-code variant.
The Siemens 7ML5033-1BA10-1A MultiRanger 100 Dual-Point Ultrasonic Level Controller may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Important Notice: Other accessories, manuals, cables, calibration data, software, etc. are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description. All prices are shown in USD.
From Transducer Pulse to Level Value
- Excitation path: The controller drives compatible 44 kHz ultrasonic transducers from the dedicated terminals.
- Return path: Received echoes are evaluated to determine the distance between the transducer face and the material surface.
- False echoes: Auto False-Echo Suppression separates fixed obstructions from the intended material echo.
- Compensation: Integral, external TS-3, or fixed-temperature compensation corrects the acoustic calculation.
Measured Value and Switching Paths
- Current signal: The isolated output converts the calculated level to a configured 0-20 mA or 4-20 mA signal.
- Relay group: Two Form A contacts and one Form C contact execute assigned alarm or pump-control functions.
- Discrete override: The DC discrete input can receive a separate switching state for configured control logic.
- Load boundary: The analog output is specified for a maximum isolated load of 750 ohms.
Programming and Data Interfaces
- RS 485: Terminal-strip communication carries Modbus RTU or Modbus ASCII traffic.
- RS 232: The RJ11 service connection provides the second documented serial communication path.
- PDM access: SIMATIC PDM can parameterize the controller through the supported communication route.
- Local access: The handheld programmer changes parameters through the front programming interface.
Enclosure, Cable Entries and Shields
- Enclosure choice: This order suffix selects wall mounting with four supplied M20 cable glands.
- Transducer cable: Use shielded twisted two-core copper cable for the ultrasonic signal path.
- Shield termination: Cable shields terminate at the controller shield points and remain isolated from additional earth connections.
- Separation: Transducer and signal wiring should be routed separately from power conductors to limit noise pickup.
