    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. Process Intelligence is able to differentiate between the true microwave reflections from the surface of the material and unwanted reflections being returned from obstructions such as seam welds or supports within a vessel.
  • Page 159 The device characterizes all echoes that rise above the TVT as potential good echoes. Each peak is assigned a rating based on its strength, area, height above the TVT, and reliability, amongst other characteristics. ALGORITHM (2.7.3.1) (Page 109) The true echo is selected based on the setting for the Echo selection algorithm. For a list of options, see ALGORITHM (2.7.3.1) (Page 109).

  • Page 161: Echo Threshold (2.7.3.2.)

    A.3.4 ECHO THRESHOLD (2.7.3.2.) CONFIDENCE (2.7.6.1) (Page 112) describes the quality of an echo. Higher values represent higher quality. Echo Threshold defines the minimum confidence value required for an echo to be accepted as valid and evaluated. A.3.5 ECHO LOCK (2.7.4.1.) If the echo selected by ALGORITHM (2.7.3.1) (Page 109) is within the Echo Lock window, the window is centered about the echo, which is used to derive the measurement.

  • Page 163: Measurement Range

    A.3.7 Measurement range NEAR RANGE (2.7.1.) (Page 108) Near Range programs SITRANS LR560 to ignore the zone in front of the antenna. The default blanking distance is 27.8 cm (0.91 ft) from the sensor reference point. Near Range allows you to increase the blanking value from its factory default. But SHAPER MODE (2.8.4) (Page 114) is generally recommended in preference to extending the blanking distance from factory values.

  • Page 164: Damping

    A.3.9 Damping DAMPING FILTER (2.2.3.) (Page 101) smooths out the response to a sudden change in level. This is an exponential filter and the engineering unit is always in seconds. In 5 time constants the output rises exponentially: from 63.2% of the change in the first time constant, to almost 100% of the change by the end of the 5th time constant.

    You also have the option to put the device out of service, in which case the device defaults to Fail-safe mode, and the reported level depends on the device type. A standard device reports the last valid reading, and a NAMUR NE 43-compliant device reports the user- defined value for Material Level (3.58 mA by default).

  • Page 166: Fail-Safe Mode

    A.4.4 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. The value to be reported in the event of a fault is selected so that a loss of power or loss of signal triggers the same response as an unsafe level.

    The radar device can be configured over the HART network using either the HART Communicator 375 by Fisher-Rosemount, or a software package. The recommended software package is the SIMATIC Process Device Manager (PDM) by Siemens. This device supports HART communication protocol. Signals are processed using Process Intelligence which has been field-proven in over 1,000,000 applications worldwide (ultrasonic and radar).
