Fill Rate/Min (2.4.2.); Empty Rate/Min (2.4.3.) - Siemens SITRANS LR560 Operating Instructions Manual

8.2.4.2

FILL RATE/MIN (2.4.2.)

Factory setting:
Setting range:
Purpose:
Description:
Altered by:
Related parameters:
Sensor value is the value produced by the echo processing which represents the distance from
1)
sensor reference point to the target.
Note
The selected rate will also impact the AVERAGE AMOUNT (2.7.5.3.) (Page 126) parameter.
For example, a SLOW setting will change it to 0.9, and a FAST setting may require it to be
reduced to a very low value.
8.2.4.3

EMPTY RATE/MIN (2.4.3.)

Factory setting:
Setting range:
Purpose:
Description:
Altered by:
Related parameters:
Sensor value is the value produced by the echo processing which represents the distance from
1)
sensor reference point to the target. See Sensor Mode (2.2.2.).

RESPONSE RATE (2.4.1.)
(Page 114)
Slow
Medium
Fast
Defines the maximum rate at which the reported sensor value
to increase. Allows you to adjust the SITRANS LR560 response to increas-
es in the actual material level. Fill Rate is automatically updated whenever
Response Rate is altered.
Enter a value slightly greater than the maximum vessel-filling rate, in units
per minute.

Fast
Defines the maximum rate at which the reported sensor value
to decrease. Adjusts the SITRANS LR560 response to decreases in the
actual material level. Empty Rate is automatically updated whenever
RESPONSE RATE (2.4.1.) (Page 114) is altered
Enter a value slightly greater than the vessel's maximum emptying rate, in
units per minute.
