Page 176: Technical Reference
Technical reference Note Where a number follows the parameter name [for example, Master Reset (4.1.)] this is the parameter access number via the handheld programmer. See Parameter Reference (Page 90) for a complete list of parameters. Fail-safe Mode The purpose of the Fail-safe setting is to put the process into a safe mode of operation in the event of a fault or failure.
Page 177: Principles Of Operation
Echo processing C.3.1 Process Intelligence The signal processing technology embedded in Siemens radar level devices is known as Process Intelligence. Process intelligence provides high measurement reliability regardless of the dynamically changing conditions within the vessel being monitored. The embedded Process Intelligence dynamically adjusts to the constantly changing material surfaces within these vessels.
Page 178: Echo Selection
Technical reference C.3 Echo processing C.3.2 Echo selection Time varying threshold (TVT) A time varying threshold (TVT) hovers above the echo profile to screen out unwanted reflections (false echoes). In most cases the material echo is the only one which rises above the default TVT. In a vessel with obstructions, a false echo may occur.
Page 179 Technical reference C.3 Echo processing Position Detect (2.5.7.2.) The echo position detection algorithm determines which point on the echo will be used to calculate the precise time of flight, and calculates the range using the calibrated propagation velocity (see Propagation Factor (2.5.3.) for values). There are three options: •...

Page 184: Measurement Response
Technical reference C.5 Measurement Response Measurement Response Note Units are defined in Units (2.3.1.) and are in meters by default. Response Rate (2.3.8.1.) limits the maximum rate at which the display and output respond to changes in the measurement. There are three preset options: slow, medium, and fast. Once the real process fill/empty rate (m/s by default) is established, a response rate can be selected that is slightly higher than the application rate.
Page 185: Loss Of Echo (Loe)
Technical reference C.7 Loss of Echo (LOE) Loss of Echo (LOE) A loss of echo (LOE) occurs when the calculated measurement is judged to be unreliable because the echo confidence value has dropped below the echo confidence threshold. Confidence (2.5.9.1.) (Page 107) describes the quality of an echo. Higher values represent higher quality.
Page 186: Maximum Process Temperature Chart
Technical reference C.8 Maximum process temperature chart Maximum process temperature chart CAUTION Internal temperature Internal temperature must not exceed 80 °C (176°F) Note • The chart below is for guidance only. • The chart does not represent every possible process connection arrangement. For example, it will NOT apply if you are mounting SITRANS LR200 directly on a metallic vessel surface.

Technical reference C.9 Process pressure/temperature derating curves Where the chart does not apply, please use your own judgement regarding the use of SITRANS LR200. See Electronics temperature (3.3.) (Page 117) to monitor the internal temperature. If the internal temperature exceeds the maximum allowable limit, a sun shield or a longer nozzle may be required.

Page 194: Profibus Pa Profile Structure
PROFIBUS PA profile structure PROFIBUS level device design The device follows the profile block model and is implemented as a Profile 3.0, Class B, PA device. Standard profile parameters are used to program the level transducer block. Block Model The Block Model represents how measured values are recorded and processed. All data is viewed from the perspective of the DCS or PLC, so information from the sensor is an input.
Page 195: Transducer Block Function Groups
PROFIBUS PA profile structure D.3 Transducer Block function groups Analog Input Function Blocks AIFB1 and AIFB2 The two AIFBs are completely independent of each other. They utilize the measurement value output from the Transducer Block [Primary Value (PV), Secondary Value 1 (SV1), or Secondary Value 2 (SV2)] and apply any required quality checks, scaling, and Fail-safe operation selections.
Page 196: How The Transducer Block Works
PROFIBUS PA profile structure D.4 How the transducer block works How the transducer block works 1. The sensor technology sub-block selects the proper echo. For an explanation of sensor technology, see Technical reference (Page 176). The sensor value (in sensor units) is checked to see if it is within its measuring limits. If the limit is exceeded, this results in a Bad status and the error message Failure in measurement.
