FIELDVUE Digital Level Instruments

FIELDVUE DLC3010 digital level controllers (figures 1 and 3) are loop‐powered instruments. In conjunction with a 249 sensor, they measure changes in liquid level, the level of an interface between two liquids, or liquid specific gravity (density). The DLC3020f is a fieldbus‐powered instrument that measures liquid level or interface between two liquids. A level, density, or interface level change in the measured fluid causes a change in the displacer position.

This change is transferred to the torque tube assembly and to the digital level controller lever assembly. The rotary motion moves a magnet attached to the lever assembly, changing the magnetic field that is sensed by the Hall‐effect sensor. In the DLC3010, the sensor converts the magnetic field signal to a varying electronic signal, which is converted to a 4‐20 mA output signal. In the DLC3020f, the sensor converts the changing magnetic field to a digital signal, which is ambient temperature compensated, linearized, and sent to the electronics assembly.

Standard or Custom Configuration... the DLC3010 digital level controller in combination with a 249W sensor enables users to install digital level transmitters to a variety of industry standard or custom process vessel connections. The sensor consists of a wafer body, torque tube assembly and displacer and is rated for CL150, 300, and 600. The wafer body mounts between NPS 3 or 4 raised face flanges. Custom configurations are also available to meet your specific application requirements. Refer to the DLC3010/DLC3020f specifications in tables 1, 2, 3, and 9, and the 249 specifications in tables 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 for product line capabilities and options.

Simplified Setup and Calibration... With the electronic Device Setup, digital level controller startup is straightforward and fast. Level and temperature alarms, specific gravity tables, calibration trim, and trending are readily configurable. DLC3010/DLC3020f digital level controllers also support re‐ranging without a fluid reference.

Responsive to Small Process Change... Accurate, high‐gain analog‐to‐digital conversion enables measurement of small changes in the process variable. In addition, an input filter and output damping may be adjusted by the user to attenuate noise from mechanical disturbance or liquid turbulence at the displacer.

Easy Maintenance... Field wiring connections are in a compartment separated from the electronics. This helps to protect the electronics from any moisture brought into the housing by the field wiring. This also eases installation and maintenance. The digital level controller does not have to be removed to facilitate troubleshooting or service. However, if it is necessary to remove the digital level controller for in‐shop maintenance and calibration, field wiring does not need to be disconnected.

1. At full design span, reference conditions.

2. To lever assembly rotation inputs.

3. The torque tube and the displacer must be properly sized for the application in order for 0 to 100% of displacer length to be available.

4. With a nominal 4.4 degrees torque tube shaft rotation for a 0 to 100 percent change in liquid level (specific gravity=1), the digital level controller can be adjusted to provide full output for an input range of 5% of nominal input span. This equates to a minimum differential specific gravity of 0.05 with standard volume displacers. Operating at 5% proportional band will degrade accuracy by a factor of 20. Using a thin wall torque tube, or doubling the displacer volume will each roughly double the effective proportional band. When proportional band of the system drops below 50%, changing displacer or torque tube should be considered if high accuracy is a requirement.

Fisher 2100 Liquid Level Switches

Typically, 2100E and 2100 switches electrically or pneumatically operate safety shutdown systems for field processing equipment in oil and gas industry applications

Switch construction comes in a left‐hand as well as a right‐hand mounting version. The explosion‐proof, hermetically sealed 2100E switch is offered as both a factory mounting and as an electric switch retrofit to the proven 2100 switch.

With the 2100E switch rising liquid level exerts a buoyant force on the torque tube that either activates or deactivates an electrical SPDT or DPDT switch

depending on the switching action desired. Falling liquid level deactivates or activates the same switch depending on the action desired.

When the 2100 switch is in the normal position with the flapper against the nozzle, output pressure cannot bleed off and remains the same as full supply pressure. Rising liquid level exerts a buoyant force on the displacer, producing a torque on the torque tube. When the torque transmitted by the torque tube exceeds the torque exerted on the flapper by the magnet, the flapper snaps away from the nozzle, allowing output pressure to bleed through the nozzle faster than supply pressure can enter through the bleed orifice. The reduced pressure in the output signal line activates the shutdown or alarm system. When the liquid level lowers, the falling displacer forces the flapper into the field of the magnet, letting the magnet snap the flapper against the nozzle and causing output pressure to build to full supply pressure.
