    Micropilot M FMR231 with PROFIBUS PA Technical data Technical data 10.1 Additional technical data 10.1.1 Input Measured variable The measured variable is the distance between a reference point and a reflective surface (i.e. medium surface). The level is calculated based on the tank height entered.
  • Page 92 Technical data Micropilot M FMR231 with PROFIBUS PA Resolution Digital / analog in % 4…20 mA • FMR 231: 1mm / 0.03 % of measuring range Reaction time The reaction time depends on the parameter settings (min. 1 s). In case of fast level changes, the instrument needs the reaction time to indicate the new value.

    Micropilot M FMR231 with PROFIBUS PA Appendix 11.3 Function and system design 11.3.1 Function (Measuring principle) The Micropilot is a "downward-looking" measuring system, operating based on the time-of-flight method. It measures the distance from the reference point (process connection) to the product surface.
  • Page 102 Appendix Micropilot M FMR231 with PROFIBUS PA Output The Micropilot is commissioned by entering an empty distance E (=zero), a full distance F (=span) and an application parameter. The application parameter automatically adapts the instrument to the process cond.. The data points “E” and “F” correspond with 4mA and 20mA for instruments with current output.

The ToF Tool is a graphical operating software for instruments from Endress+Hauser that operate based on the time-of-flight principle (radar, ultrasonic, guided micro-impulse). It assists with commissioning, securing data, signal analysis and documentation of the measuring point.
