SITRANS LR560 Overview

SITRANS LR560 is a 2-wire, 78 GHz FMCW radar level transmitter for continuous monitoring of solids in vessels to a range of 100 m (329 ft). The plug and play performance is ideal for all solids applications, including those with extreme dust and high temperatures to +200 °C (+392 °F). The device is an electronic circuit coupled to a lens antenna and flange for quick and easy positioning.
The main benefits of using 78 GHz over devices using lower frequency are:
very narrow beam, so device is insensitive to mounting nozzle interference and vessel obstructions.
short wavelength yields very good reflection properties on sloped solids, so aiming towards material angle of repose is usually not necessary.
The technology is very tolerant to buildup on the lens antenna, however an air purge inlet is provided for periodic cleaning if required.
SITRANS LR560 supports HART communication protocol, and SIMATIC PDM software. Signals are processed using Process Intelligence which has been field-proven in over 1,000,000 applications worldwide (ultrasonic and radar).
SITRANS LR560

Programming

SITRANS LR560 is very easy to install and configure via an optional graphical local display interface. You can modify the built-in parameters either locally via the push buttons or using the infra-red handheld programmer, or from a remote location using one of the following options:
HART (using 375 handheld Field Communicator, SIMATIC PDM, AMS, Pactware FDT/ DTM)
PROFIBUS PA (using SIMATIC PDM, FDT [such as PACTware or Fieldcare]) (See SITRANS LR560 (PROFIBUS PA) Instruction Manual for more information.)
Foundation Fieldbus FF (using handheld 375 Field Communicator, FF host system or AMS Device Manager) [See SITRANS LR560 (Foundation Fieldbus) Instruction Manual for more information.]
Once programmed, the graphic Local Display Interface (LDI) can be removed if desired and used to transfer parameters to multiple SITRANS LR560s.

Notes:
• For details on avoiding false echoes, see on page 126.
Shaper Mode (2.8.4.)
Beam angle
Beam angle is the width of the cone where the energy density is half of the peak energy density.
The peak energy density is directly in front of and in line with the antenna.
There is a signal transmitted outside the beam angle, therefore false targets may be detected.
Emission cone
Keep emission cone free of interference from ladders, pipes, I-beams or filling streams.
Avoid central locations on tall, narrow vessels.

Air Purging System

purge process connection with factory-installed 1/8" NPT plug
For convenient cleaning, a purging inlet is provided above the antenna. The system provides an 1/8" inlet (female thread) above the antenna where clean, dry air passes to the face of the antenna lens to clean it. The customer will supply the purging air by a manual or automatic valve system.
Notes:
• Purge duration, pressure, and interval, will vary with each application. It is the user’s responsibility to determine the requirements depending on the application and cleaning required.
• Short duration bursts of high pressure provide more effective cleaning than continu­ous low pressure air.
• It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that any vacuum or pressure in the mea­sured vessel is maintained, considering the hole that passes through the process connection and SITRANS LR560 antenna system.

Auto False Echo Suppression
Notes:
• Make sure material level is below all known obstructions at the moment Auto False Echo Suppression is used to learn a custom TVT (Time Varying Threshold). We recommend an empty or almost empty vessel.
• Note the distance to material level when the environment is learned, and set Auto False Echo Suppression Range to a shorter distance to avoid the material echo being screened out.
If you have a vessel with known obstructions, we recommend using Auto False Echo Suppression to prevent false echo detection. This feature can also be used if the device displays a false high level, or the reading is fluctuating between the correct level and a false high level.
The device learns the echo profile over the whole measurement range and the TVT is shaped around all echoes present at that moment. (See explanation.)
SIMATIC PDM
The learned TVT will be applied over a specified range. The default TVT is applied over the remainder of the measurement range.

Operating via FDT (Field Device Tool)

FDT is a standard used in several software packages designed to commission and maintain field devices such as SITRANS LR560. Two commercially available FDTs are PACTware and Fieldcare.
Functionally FDT is very similar to PDM (see detail).
To configure a field device via FDT, you need the DTM (Device Type Manager) for the device.
To configure a field device via SIMATIC PDM, you need the EDD (Electronic Data Description) for the device.

Device Type Manager (DTM)

A DTM is a type of software that ’plugs into’ FDT. It contains the same information as an EDD but an EDD is independent of the operating system.

SITRANS DTM

SITRANS DTM is an EDDL interpreter developed by Siemens to interpret the EDD for that device.
To use SITRANS DTM to connect to an instrument, you must first install SITRANS DTM on your system and then install the instrument EDD written for SITRANS DTM.
You can download SITRANS DTM from the Siemens service and support website at: http://support.automation.siemens.com Product Information/Automation Technology/Sensor systems/Process Instrumentation/Software & Communications.

Notes:
• CLEF Range is referenced from Far Range.
• The value for CLEF Range must include the difference between Far Range and Low Calibration Point, plus any level above the Low Calibration Point to be managed by the CLEF algorithm.
The CLEF algorithm is used mainly to allow correct level reporting for low dK materials which may otherwise cause an incorrect reading in an empty or almost empty vessel.
It is used from Far Range up to the level defined by CLEF Range (see illustration below). Above that point, the Center algorithm is used. For more detail, see CLEF Range (2.7.3.4.) on page 125.

When the value is 0, the window is automatically calculated after each measurement.
For slower Measurement Response values, the window grows at a slower rate.
For faster Measurement Response values, the window grows at a faster rate.
