Operating Mode

The LEVELtrol-II can be thought of as making a series of measurements of level, temperature/density sensors and then performing calculations to arrive at a result(s) which is then updated periodically on the display. The analog output, the pulse output, and the alarm relays are also updated. The cycle then repeats itself.

Step 1:Update the measurements of input signals

Raw Input Measurements are made at each input using equations based on input signal type selected. The system notes the “out of range” input signal as an alarm condition.

Step 2:Compute the Flowing Fluid Parameters

The temperature and density equations are computed as needed based on the instrument equations and input usage selected by the user.

Step 3 : Compute the Tank Level

The value is computed based on the level sensor input type selected and by installation details on the tank.

Step 4: Compute the Uncorrected Tank Volume

Compute the uncorrected tank volume from the tank level measurement and known geometry of the tank.

Step 5: Compute the Corrected Tank Volume at

Reference Conditions or Mass in tank.

Step 6: Check Alarms

The alarm functions have been assigned to one of the above during the setup of the instrument. A comparison is now made by comparing the current value against the specified hi and low limits.

Step 7: Compute the Analog Output

This designated process value is now used to compute the analog output.

Step 8: Total Preset Comparisons

The total associated with a preset function is then compared against the corresponding preset value and any required control actions taken.

Step 9: Pulse Output Service-

The pulse output is next updated by scaling the total increment which has just been determined by the pulse output scaler and summing it to any residual pulse output amount.

Step 10: Update Display and Printer Output-

The instrument finally runs a task to update the various table entries associated with the front panel display and serial outputs.

LEVELtrol-II Installation & Operating Instructions

Setup Mode

The setup mode is password protected by means of a numeric lock out code established by the user. In addition, a secret, manufacturers numeric unlock entry sequence is available.

The system also provides a minimum implementation of an “audit trail” which tracks significant setup changes to the unit. This feature is increasingly being found of benefit to users or simply required by Weights and Measurement Officials in systems used in commerce, trade, or “custody transfer” applications.

A Worksheet is provided to assist the user in setting up the instrument. In addition, a software program is available (optional) which runs on a PC using a RS232 Serial for connection to the instrument. Illustrative examples may be down loaded in this manner.

The setup mode has numerous subgrouping of parameters needed for the instrument functions. There is a well conceived hierarchy to the setup parameter list. Selections made at the beginning of the setup hide unnecessary items further down in the lists.

In the setup mode, the instrument activates the correct setup variables based on the instrument configuration, the equations, and the hardware selections made for the compensation transmitter type, the level transmitter type, and any enhancement options selected. All required setup parameters are enabled. All setup parameters not required are suppressed.

A help line prompt is provided for each entry. In addition a help message is available which may be accessed by depressing the “HELP” key.

Also note that in the setup mode are parameter selections which have preassigned industry standard values. The unit will assume these values unless they are modified by the user.

Maintenance Mode:

The Maintenance Mode of the LEVELtrol-II is the Test and Calibration Mode for the device. This mode provides a number of specialized utilities required for factory calibration, instrument checkout on start-up, and periodic calibration documentation.

A Supervisor or Manufacturers password is required to gain access to this specialized mode of operation. Start-up, quality, calibration, and maintenance personnel will find this mode of operation very useful. It is also useful for factory testing.

Many of these tests may be used during start-up of a new system. Inputs signals may be read, and output signals may be exercised to verify the electrical interconnects before the entire system is put on line.

The following action items may be performed in the Maintenance Mode:

Print Calibration/Maintenance Report Examine Audit Trail Examine Error History Perform Keypad Checkout Perform Display Checkout Perform Pulse Output Checkout Perform Control Input Checkout Perform Relay Output Checkout Perform Analog Input Checkout Perform Analog Output Checkout Calibrate Analog Inputs using the Learn Feature Calibrate Analog Output using the Learn Feature Battery Voltage Test Print Datalogger Contents

Note that a calibration of the analog input/output will advance the audit trail counters since it effects the accuracy of the system.

Most of the process input variables have available a “default” or emergency value which must be entered. These are the values that the unit assumes when a malfunction is determined to have occurred on the corresponding input.

It is possible to enter in a nominal constant value for temperature or density, or analog level inputs by placing the desired nominal value into both the lo and hi values. This is also a convenience when performing bench top tests without simulators.

LEVELtrol-II Installation & Operating Instructions

RS-232 Serial Port

The LEVELtrol-II has a general purpose RS-232 Port which may be used for any one of the following purposes:

Transaction Printing Data Logging Remote Metering by Modem (optional) Computer Communication Link Configuration by Computer Print System Setup Print Calibration/Malfunction History

Instrument Setup by PC’s over Serial Port

A Diskette program is optionally available with the instrument that enables the user to rapidly configure the LEVELtrol-II using an Personnel Computer. Included on the diskette are common instrument applications which may be used as a starting point for your application. This permits the user to have an excellent starting point and helps speed the user through the instrument setup.

Operation of Serial Communication Port with Printers

LEVELtrol-II’s RS-232 channel supports a number of operating modes. One of these modes is intended to support operation with a printer in applications requiring transaction printing, data logging and/or printing of calibration and maintenance reports.

In data logging, the user defines the items to be included in each data log as a print list. The user can also select when or how often he wishes a data log to be made. This is done during the setup of the instrument as either a time of day or as a time interval between logging.

The system setup and maintenance report lists all the instrument setup parameters and usage for the current instrument configuration. In addition, the Audit trail information is presented along with a status report listing any observed malfunctions which have not been corrected.

The user initiates the printing of this report at a designated point in the menu by pressing the print key on the front panel.

Operation of Serial Port with Modems (optional)

The LEVELtrol-II RS-232 channel supports a number of operating modes. One of these modes is intended to support operation with a modem in remote metering applications.

For transaction printing, the user defines the items to be included in the printed document. The user can also select what initiates the transaction print generated as part of the setup of the instrument. The transaction document may be initiated via a front panel key depression, a remote contact closure, or upon completion of a batch.

The RS-485 serial port can be used for accessing level, total quantity, temperature, density and alarm status information. The port can also be used for changing presets and acknowledging alarms.

Page 22

LEVELtrol-II Installation & Operating Instructions

Batcher Operation

Batcher Configuration

5.4 Batcher Operation

The Batcher mode is used primarily to dispense batches of fluid based on changes in tank volume as indicated by tank level. The main difference between the Batch mode and Level/Total mode is the relay operation. The Batch mode allows the operator to "START" the batch transfer via the front panel or remote input. Once started, the relays (RLY1 & RLY2) will energize and send power to a flow control device (i.e. solenoid valve or pump). The level sensor will send a signal to the unit and total comparisons will begin. When the Prewarn value (PRE 2) is reached, Relay 2 will drop out (this is ideal for flow slow down). When the Batch amount (PRE 1) is reached, Relay 1 will drop out and the Batch is complete.

Several messages will be displayed during normal batch operation (i.e. Batch Fill, Batch Stopped).

5.4.1 Batcher Configuration.

When the unit is programmed for the batch mode, several batch operation choices are available. These choices include: Up or Down Counting, Batch Into or Out of the Tank, Batch Overrun Correction feature, Start or Reset/Start, and Stop or Stop/Reset.

BATCH OVERRUN

The batch overrun is used for batch applications that have slow responding valves and a consistent batching flowrate. When the Batch Overrun is set, the unit will compensate for batch overruns by computing an averaged overrun value from the last four batches. This average is used to internally adjust the batch setpoint to minimize overrun.

START, RESET/START and STOP, STOP/RESET

When configuring the control inputs, Control Input1 can be set for START or RESET/START. When set for START, the unit will start batching when a signal is applied to Control Input1 or the front panel Start key is pressed. A separate Reset signal must be used to clear the previous batch total. When set for RESET/START, the unit will automatically reset then start when a signal is applied to Control Input1 or the front panel Start key is pressed (provided that the previous batch was completed). If a previous batch was stopped during a batch cycle, the unit will Restart from where it was stopped. Control Input 2 can be set for STOP or STOP/RESET. When set for STOP, the unit will stop batching when a signal is applied to Control Input 2 or the front panel Stop key is pressed. A separate Reset signal must be used to clear the batch total. When set for STOP/RESET, a running batch will stop when a signal is applied to Control Input 2 or the front panel Stop key is pressed. If the unit is Stopped or after a completed batch, the unit will reset when a signal is applied to Control Input 2 or the front panel Stop key is pressed. NOTE: Applying a voltage level to Control Input 2 will inhibit or override

all Start inputs in either mode.

A control input can also be configured as a jumper hardware lockout.

5.4.3 Relay Operation in Batcher mode

Four relays are available for batch control and/or alarm outputs. Preset 1 (RLY1) is reserved for batch amount, Preset 2 (RLY2) is usually reserved for prewarn. (see section 5.4 Batcher Operation for Relay 1 & Relay 2 functions) Preset 1 (RLY1) and Preset 2 (RLY2) are easily accessible by pressing the PRE 1 or PRE 2 key on the front panel. Preset 3 and Preset 4 are accessible only through the setup menu. Relays 3 and 4 can be assigned to trip according to level, temperature, density, overrun or alarm. When level, temperature or density is selected the relays can be programmed as low or high alarms. Overrun can be used to detect minor leakage around valves in some applications.

Pulse Output

(Batch mode)

NOTE: Choose relay operations that will fail safe for your process. Also

use suitable safety interlocks (level switches) to prevent overfilling containers.

5.4.4 Pulse Output in Batcher mode

The isolated pulse output (open collector) is assigned to produce pulses on changing Volume, Corrected Volume or Mass as indicated by the pulse output usage and the compensation equation selected. The pulse output duration can be set for 10mS (100Hz max) or 100mS (10Hz max). A pulse output scale factor (pulse value) can be set to scale the pulse output. The pulse output is ideal for connecting to remote totalizers or other devices such as a PLC. It may be used to keep track of deliveries, the amount sent to/from a tank or for a combination of these.

7. Principle Of Operation

General Operation

Determining the Liquid Quantity for Various Tank Geometries

7.1 General Operation

The determination of the level and the amount of material in a tank is a commonly needed industrial measurement. In other applications it is desired to dispense liquid from one container to another. This instrument is intended to satisfy these needs.

A variety of displays, analog outputs, pulse outputs, alarms, and communications ports are provided to suit the various application needs which might be encountered.

7.2 Determining the liquid quantity for various Tank Geometries

Various tank geometries are used in industry as containers for liquids. These tank geometries may be classified as vertical cylindrical, horizontal cylindrical, or spherical. Many “calibrated” tanks come with a “strapping chart” which equates the volume in the tank for various liquid level measurements.

This instrument permits the user to either enter his tank shape and dimensions or strapping table. The unit then computes the volume in the tank for the measured liquid level based on mathematical equations solved by the instrument.

Determining Liquid Level

Tanks often have a discharge location which is somewhat above the base of the tank so that the tank can never be fully drained. The quantity of fluid below the discharge point is sometimes called a “reserve” amount. The instrument computes both the total amount and the available amount from the discharge location information entered by the user.

7.3 Determining Liquid Level

A liquid level measurement is required in order to compute the quantity in a tank.

There are a wide variety of liquid level measurement techniques to choose from. Among the most common measurement techniques are:

a. hydrostatic pressure measurement b. ultrasonic level measurement

The equations necessary to compute the liquid level are different for the two techniques. This instrument uses the correct equation for the level sensor type you have chosen. The level calculations also include adjustments for the location of the sensor above the base of the tank.

7.4 Corrections for density in hydrostatic pressure based level measurements

The hydrostatic pressure measured at the base of a tank is a function of the liquid level and the density of the fluid.

The LEVELtrol-II provides for the connection of a compensated input, a temperature or density transmitter, which will enable accurate determination of the liquid level in the tank. Stored fluid properties are used to infer the density from a temperature measurement.

Page 45

LEVELtrol-II Installation & Operating Instructions

7.5 Computation of Corrected Volume in Tank and Mass in Tank

The mass in the tank can be computed if the volume in the tank and the density are known. This instrument has menu selections which permit the user to compute and view the quantity in the tank in mass units.

Corrected Volume is the equivalent volume the liquid would occupy at some reference condition. This instrument also provides menu selections which permit the user to compute and view the quantity in the tank in corrected volume units. This is often useful in determination of volume in the tank for petroleum quantities when it is desired to know the volume the liquid would occupy at 60 F. (Remember that when the temperature of the material is changing and the actual volume of the material in the tank is changing with that temperature based on the expansion factor for the liquid.).

LEVELtrol II Equations Summary

Level_Sensor = % • (Level_fs-Level_zero) + Level_zero Temperature = % • (Tfs - Tzero) + Tzero Density = % • (Dfs - Dzero) + Dzero Density = Dref • (1 - c•1e-6 • (Tf - Tref))

(if inferred by temp & fluid properties)

h = height above sensor = Level_Sensor • Volume_Conv_Factor/ Df (if hydrostatic) Tank_Level = h + Sensor_Offset Volume_Total = Volume(Tank_Level, Tank_Geometry) Avail_Volume = Volume_Total -Volume(Discharge_Pt, Tank Geometry) Mass Total = Volume Total • Density Corrected Volume = Volume Total • (1 - c•1e-6 • (Tf - Tref))

NOTE: Consult factory for applications requiring other fluid equations.

7.6 Calculating the Expansion Factor For a Fluid

Calculating Expansion Factor

The liquid density is a function of the flowing temperature for many fluids. This unit solves an equation which represents this physical property of the fluid.

The information which the unit uses to describe the fluid is entered by the user in the following variables: Reference Temperature, Reference Density, Expansion Factor These parameters can be derived from fluid information available in one or more of the following forms:

Fluid Specific Gravity vs. Temp. Table Specific Gravity vs. Temp. Graph Fluid Density vs. Temp. Table

Fluid Density vs. Temp. Graph Begin by obtaining one of the fluid properties for the fluid you are using from available manufacturers information or Engineering Handbooks. In some cases this information is listed on the Material Safety Data Sheet for the fluid. Two temperature-density pairs will be required to compute the temperature coef ficient. The reference temperature is simply chosen by the user. Common reference temperatures are 60° F or 15° C. However, for cryogenic fluids, the normal boiling point may also be used. In some cases the fluid data may list properties at 100° F, this temperature may also be used as the reference temperature. The reference temperature should be chosen so that it is in the application temperature range. i.e. application temperature range -10 to 120° F, reference temperature of 60° F chosen. Enter the reference temperature you have chosen at this point. The reference density corresponds to the fluid density at the reference temperature chosen. Enter this information in the units that are prompted for by the unit.

Expansion Factor Equations

Spec.Grav. = Density of Fluid / Density of Water

Given the reference temperature, reference specific gravity, a second temp. and a second Spec.Grav., the Expansion Factor (C Factor) can be computed as follows:
