4.2.5.8: Calibrate/table
If your vessel deviates from the forms offered, the necessary data is not available or is
unknown, or you need a vessel characteristic with greater accuracy, you will need to use
a level/volume calibration table. You can enter reference values from a table provided by
the vessel manufacturer or do the calibration manually and enter the determined
reference values.
You can only enter pairs of values consisting of level and volume.
Note:
Entering the vessel characteristic with the hand programmer can be a time-
consuming procedure. It can be done more quickly and comfortably with the SIMATIC
PDM software. There, an entered table can be edited simply – an option which is only
conditionally possible with the hand programmer.
The 4.2.5.8 Calibrate/table parameter offers the following selection possibilities:
4.2.5.8.1: Calibrate
Here you can enter up to 50 reference values whose levels SITRANS LR 400 measures.
Enter the appropriate volume (determined by manual calibration).
If you access this parameter, first the currently measured level is displayed. Accept it by
pressing LEFT
by pressing LEFT
Then the device displays Calibrate. Access again by pressing RIGHT
further reference value. The device automatically offers you the next undefined reference
value.
We recommend entering a maximum of two or three reference values for the linear range
of the vessel and to use the others for the non-linear portion.
If you enter a second volume value for the same level, the reference value saved earlier is
overwritten.
