Software Interfaces - ABB LevelMaster 7100 User Manual

Software interfaces

The user interface used to configure, monitor, and calibrate the LevelMaster is the MasterLink software. MasterLink is a
Windows®-based application that can be installed in the operator's PC or laptop and is used to communicate directly to the
MasterLink after installation. Its main purpose is to provide direct connection to the device for basic parameter configuration,
measurement reading verification, and calibration.
The software interface used to collect and monitor the LevelMaster measurement readings when connected to the ABB
Totalflow host controller is PCCU32. PCCU32 is the common user interface for the ABB Totalflow remote controller and flow
computer family of products.
Using MasterLink
MasterLink is the user interface for local configuration (setup) and monitoring of the LevelMaster. It has been developed
specifically for the setup and calibration of the LevelMaster after installation.
IMPORTANT NOTES: MasterLink version 2.0 and later include default files for all sensor lengths supported by legacy
and newer LevelMaster electronics boards. If performing an upgrade or hardware replacement, and if the existing
configuration file is not available, a file for the appropriate length can be located in the MasterLink folders and used to
update the unit.
MasterLink version 2.0 is required for support of batteryless floats and for LevelMasters with board part number
2104836.
MasterLink is used to accomplish the following:
Basic configuration
Configuration of unit ID
Configuration of Baud rate
Advanced configuration
Software configuration of RS-485 bus termination for boards part number 2104836-001 (last or only sensor, and
intermediate sensor on the bus)
Reconfiguration after hardware change or part replacement (electronics board or sensor replacement, float change)
Back up configuration and data (data stored in the LevelMaster memory can be saved to a file and stored in a laptop to
avoid loss)
Restore configuration and data (backup file can be sent to the LevelMaster to restore or reconfigure the unit)
Monitoring
View current measurement values (level and temperature)
View status
View configuration
Testing
Available for advanced users or technical support for troubleshooting
Calibration
Level calibration or bias if accurate level measurements, taken manually, are available
IMPORTANT NOTE: When the LevelMaster is connected to an ABB Totalflow remote controller or flow computer,
calibration must be done from PCCU.
