3.2 Principle of operation
The instrument is suitable for the measurement of liquids under difcult and extreme process conditions. Application possibilities can
be found in the chemical industry, in environmental and recycling
technology as well as in the petrochemical industry.
The version with standpipe antenna is particularly suitable for
measurement of solvents and liquid gases, for vessels with foam
generation or for measurement of products with low dielectric values
(DK > 1.6).
Measurement in a standpipe is not recommended for extremely
adhesive products.
The instrument can be used with products with an ε
actually achievable value depends on the measuring conditions, the
antenna system, the standpipe or bypass.
value ≥1.8. The
r
Functional principle
The antenna of the radar sensor emits short radar pulses with a
duration of approx. 1 ns. These pulses are reected by the product
and received by the antenna as echoes. The transit time of the radar
pulses from emission to reception is proportional to the distance and
hence to the level. The determined level is converted into an appropriate output signal and outputted as measured value.

4.1 General instructions
With instruments with threaded process tting, suitable tools must be
applied for tightening the hexagon.
Warning:
The housing must not be used to screw the instrument in! Applying
tightening force can damage internal parts of the housing.
Moisture
Suitability for the process
conditions
Installation
Use the recommended cables (see chapter "Connecting to power
supply") and tighten the cable gland.
You can give your instrument additional protection against moisture
penetration by leading the connection cable downward in front of the
cable entry. Rain and condensation water can thus drain o. This applies mainly to outdoor mounting as well as installation in areas where
high humidity is expected (e.g. through cleaning processes) or on
cooled or heated vessels.
Make sure that all parts of the instrument exposed to the process, in
particular the active measuring component, process seal and process
tting, are suitable for the existing process conditions. These include
above all the process pressure, process temperature as well as the
chemical properties of the medium.
You can nd the specications in chapter "Technical data" and on the
type label.
4.2 Instructions for installation
By using the standpipe version, the inuence of turbulence and vessel installations, such as e.g. heating spirals or agitators, is excluded.
If turbulence or vigorous product movement occurs in the vessel, long
standpipe antennas should be fastened to the vessel wall.
The standpipe antenna must extend all the way down to the requested min. level, as measurement is only possible within the tube. If a
good mixing of the product is important, you should use a version with
perforated surge pipe.

5.1 Preparing the connection
Always keep in mind the following safety instructions:
Connect only in the complete absence of line voltage
•
If overvoltage surges are expected, overvoltage arresters should
•
be installed
Voltage supply
Connection cable
Cable gland ½ NPT
Cable screening and
grounding
The instrument requires a operating voltage of 9 … 32 V DC. Operating voltage and the digital bus signal are carried on the same two-wire
connection cable. Power is supplied via the H1 power supply.
Connection is carried out with screened cable according to Fieldbus
specication.
Use cable with round cross-section. A cable outer diameter of
5 … 9 mm (0.2 … 0.35 in) ensures the seal eect of the cable gland.
If you are using cable with a dierent diameter or cross-section,
exchange the seal or use a suitable cable gland.
Make sure that the entire installation is carried out according to the
Fieldbus specication. In particular, make sure that the bus is terminated with suitable terminating resistors.
With plastic housing, the NPT cable gland or the Conduit steel tube
must be screwed without grease into the threaded insert.
Max. torque for all housings see chapter "Technical data"
Make sure that the cable screening and ground is executed according to the Fielbus specication. If electromagnetic interference is
expected which is above the test values of EN 61326-1 for industrial
areas, we recommend to connect the cable screen on both ends to
ground potential.
With systems with potential equalisation, connect the cable screen
directly to ground potential at the power supply unit, in the connection
box and at the sensor. The screen in the sensor must be connected
directly to the internal ground terminal. The ground terminal outside
on the housing must be connected to the potential equalisation (low
impedance).
In systems without potential equalisation with cable screening on
both sides, connect the cable screen directly to ground potential at
the power supply unit and at the sensor. In the connection box or
T-distributor, the screen of the short stub to the sensor must not be
connected to ground potential or to another cable screen. The cable
screens to the power supply unit and to the next distributor must be
connected to each other and also connected to ground potential via a
ceramic capacitor (e.g. 1 nF, 1500 V). Low-frequency potential equalisation currents are thus suppressed, but the protective eect against
high frequency interference signals remains.

Adjustment system
Main menu
The sensor is adjusted via the four keys of the indicating and adjustment module. The LC display indicates the individual menu items. The
functions of the individual keys are shown in the above illustration.
Approx. 10 minutes after the last pressing of a key, an automatic reset
to measured value indication is triggered. Any values not conrmed
with [OK] will not be saved.
6.3 Parameter adjustment
Through the parameter adjustment the instrument is adapted to the
application conditions. The parameter adjustment is carried out via an
adjustment menu.
The main menu is divided into ve sections with the following func-
tions:
Setup: Settings, e.g., for measurement loop name, medium, application, vessel, adjustment, signal output
Display: Settings, e.g., for language, measured value display, lighting
Diagnosis: Information, e.g. on the instrument status, pointer, reli-
ability, simulation, echo curve
Further settings: Instrument unit, false signal suppression, linearisa-
tion curve, reset, date/time, reset, copy function
Info: Instrument name, hardware and software version, calibration
date, instrument features
Information:
In this operating instructions manual, the instrument-specic parameters in the menu sections "Setup", "Diagnosis" and "Additional set-
tings" are described. The general parameters in these menu section
are described in the operating instructions manual "Indicating and
adjustment module".

6 Set up with the indicating and adjustment module
You can nd in the operating instructions manual "Indicating and ad-
justment module" also the description of the menu sections "Display"
and "Info".
In the main menu point "Setup", the individual submenu points should
be selected subsequently and provided with the correct parameters
to ensure the optimum adjustment of the measurement. The procedure is described in the following.
Setup
Setup/Medium
Each medium has dierent reection properties. With liquids, further
interfering factors are uctuation product surface and foam generation. With bulk solids, these are dust generation, material cone and
additional echoes from the vessel wall.
To adapt the sensor to these dierent measuring conditions, the
selection "Liquid" or "Bulk solid" should be made in this menu item.
Through this selection, the sensor is adapted perfectly to the product
and measurement reliability, particularly in products with poor reective properties, is considerably increased.
Enter the requested parameters via the appropriate keys, save your
settings with [OK] and jump to the next menu item with the [ESC] and
the [->] key.
Setup/Adjustment
24
Since a radar sensor is a distance measuring instrument, the distance
from the sensor to the product surface is measured. For indication of
the real level, an allocation of the measured distance to the percentage height must be carried out.
To perform the adjustment, enter the distance with full and empty vessel. For instruments with standpipe antenna, these values are already
preset by default, see the following example:

If these values are not known, an adjustment with the distances of for
example 10 % and 90 % is possible. Starting point for these distance
specications is always the seal surface of the thread or ange. By
means of these settings, the real level will be calculated.
The real product level during this adjustment is not important, because the min./max. adjustment is always carried out without changing the product level. These settings can be made ahead of time
without the instrument having to be installed.
Setup/Min. adjustment
Proceed as follows:
1. Select the menu item "Setup" with [->] and conrm with [OK].
Now select with [->] the menu item "Min. adjustment" and conrm
with [OK].
2. Edit the percentage value with [OK] and set the cursor to the
requested position with [->].
3. Set the requested percentage value with [+] and save with [OK].
The cursor jumps now to the distance value.

3. Set the requested percentage value with [+] and save with [OK].
The cursor jumps now to the distance value.
4. Enter the appropriate distance value in m (corresponding to the
percentage value) for the full vessel. Keep in mind that the max.
level must lie below the min. distance to the antenna edge.
5. Save settings with [OK]
The respective min. and max. measured value is saved in the sensor.
The values are displayed in the menu item "Peak values".
Diagnosis/Measurement
reliability
26
When non-contact level sensors are used, the measurement can be
inuenced by the respective process conditions. In this menu item,
the measurement reliability of the level echo is displayed as dB value.
The measurement reliability equals signal strength minus noise. The
higher the value, the more reliable the measurement. With a functioning measurement, the values are > 10 dB.

6 Set up with the indicating and adjustment module
Diagnoses/Curve indication
The "Echo curve" shows the signal strength of the echoes over the
measuring range in dB. The signal strength enables an evaluation of
the quality of the measurement.
The "False signal suppression" displays the saved false echoes (see
menu "Additional settings") of the empty vessel with signal strength in
"dB" over the measuring range.
A comparison of echo curve and false signal suppression allows a
more accurate conclusion on measurement reliability. The selected
curve is continuously updated. With the [OK] key, a submenu with
zoom functions is opened:
"X-Zoom": Zoom function for the meas. distance

False signal suppression
36526-EN-121011
VEGAPULS 66 standpipe version • Foundation Fieldbus
With the function "Echo curve memory" the echo curve can be saved
at the time of setup. This is generally recommended; for using the Asset Management functions it is absolutely necessary. If possible, the
curve should be saved with a low level in the vessel.
With the adjustment software PACTware and the PC, the high resolution echo curve can be displayed and used to recognize signal
changes over the operating time. In addition, the echo curve of the
setup can be also displayed in the echo curve window and compared
with the actual echo curve.
The following circumstances cause interfering reections and can
inuence the measurement:
High sockets
•
27
6 Set up with the indicating and adjustment module
Vessel installations such as struts
•
Agitators
•
Buildup or welded joints on vessel walls
•
Note:
A false signal suppression detects, marks and saves these false signals so that they are no longer taken into account for level measurement.
This should be done with the low level so that all potential interfering
reections can be detected.
Proceed as follows:
1. Select the menu item "Additional settins" with [->] and conrm
with [OK]. With [->] you have to select the menu item "False
signal suppression" and conrm with [OK].
2. Conrm again with [OK].
3. Conrm again with [OK].
28
4. Conrm again with [OK] and enter the actual distance from the
sensor to the product surface.
5. All interfering signals in this section are detected by the sensor
and stored after conrming with [OK].
Note:
Check the distance to the product surface, because if an incorrect
(too large) value is entered, the existing level will be saved as false
signal. The lling level would then no longer be detectable in this area.
If a false signal suppression has already been created in the sensor,
the following menu window appears when selecting "False signal
suppression":
VEGAPULS 66 standpipe version • Foundation Fieldbus
36526-EN-121011
6 Set up with the indicating and adjustment module
The menu item "Delete" is used to completely delete an already created false signal suppression. This is useful if the saved false signal
suppression no longer matches the metrological conditions in the
vessel.
The menu item "Extend" is used to extend an already created false
signal suppression. This is useful if a false signal suppression was
carried out with a too high level and not all false signals could be detected. When selecting "Extend", the distance to the product surface
of the created false signal suppression is displayed. This value can
now be changed and the false signal suppression can be extended to
this range.
Additional adjustments/
Linearization curve
A linearization is necessary for all vessels in which the vessel volume
does not increase linearly with the level - e.g. in a horizontal cylindrical or spherical tank - and the indication or output of the volume is
required. Corresponding linearization curves are preprogrammed
for these vessels. They represent the correlation between the level
percentage and vessel volume.
By activating the appropriate curve, the volume percentage of the
vessel is displayed correctly. If the volume should not be displayed in
percent but e.g. in l or kg, a scaling can be also set in the menu item
"Display".
Enter the requested parameters via the appropriate keys, save your
settings and jump to the next menu item with the [ESC] and [->] key.
Caution:
Note the following if the instrument with corresponding approval is
used as part of an overll protection system according to WHG:
If a linearisation curve is selected, the measuring signal is no longer
linearly proportional to the level. This must be taken into consideration
by the user, particularly when setting the switching point on the level
switch.
Additional adjustments/
Probe length

7.2 Parameter adjustment with PACTware
For parameter adjustment of the sensor via a Windows PC, the conguration software PACTware and a suitable instrument driver (DTM)
according to FDT standard are required. The up-to-date PACTware
version as well as all available DTMs are compiled in a DTM Collection. The DTMs can also be integrated into other frame applications
according to FDT standard.
Note:
To ensure that all instrument functions are supported, you should
always use the latest DTM Collection. Furthermore, not all described
functions are included in older rmware versions. You can download
the latest instrument software from our homepage. A description of
the update procedure is also available in the Internet.
Further setup steps are described in the operating instructions manual "DTM Collection/PACTware" attached to each DTM Collection and
which can also be downloaded from the Internet. Detailed descriptions are available in the online help of PACTware and the DTMs.

9.1 Maintenance
If the device is used correctly, no maintenance is required in normal
operation.
9.2 Measured value and event memory
The instrument has several memories which are available for diagnosis purposes. The data remain even with voltage interruption.
Measured value memory
Event memory
Echo curve memory
Up to 60,000 measured values can be stored in the sensor in a ring
memory. Each entry contains date/time as well as the respective
measured value. Storable values are for example:
Distance
•
Filling height
•
Percentage value
•
Lin. percent
•
Scaled
•
Current value
•
Meas. reliability
•
Electronics temperature
•
When the instrument is shipped, the measured value memory is
active and stores distance, measurement certainty and electronics
temperature every 3 minutes.
The requested values and recording conditions are set via a PC with
PACTware/DTM or the control system with EDD. Data are thus read
out and also reset.
Up to 500 events are automatically stored with a time stamp in the
sensor (non-deletable). Each entry contains date/time, event type,
event description and value. Event types are for example:
Modication of a parameter
•
Switching on and o times
•
Status messages (according to NE 107)
•
Error messages (according to NE 107)
•
The data are read out via a PC with PACTware/DTM or the control
system with EDD.
The echo curves are stored with date and time and the corresponding
echo data. The memory is divided into two sections:
Echo curve of the setup: This is used as reference echo curve for
the measurement conditions during setup. Changes in the measurement conditions during operation or buildup on the sensor can thus
be recognized. The echo curve of the setup is stored via:
PC with PACTware/DTM

Procedure for fault recti-
cation
36526-EN-121011
VEGAPULS 66 standpipe version • Foundation Fieldbus
The operator of the system is responsible for taking suitable measures to rectify faults.
The rst measures are:
Evaluation of fault messages, for example via the indicating and
•
adjustment module
Checking the output signal with 4 … 20 mA instruments
•
Treatment of measurement errors
•
Further comprehensive diagnostics options oer a PC with the software PACTware and the suitable DTM. In many cases, the reasons
can be determined in this way and faults can be rectied.

Fig. 30: Schematic presentation function block Discret Input (DI)
Function block PID Control
The function block "PID Control " is a key component for various tasks in the process automation
and is used universally. PID blocks can be cascaded if this is necessary or requested due to dierent time constants with the primary and secondary process measurement.
Fig. 31: Schematic presentation function block PID Control
Function block Output Splitter
The function block "Output Splitter" generates two control outputs out of one input. Each output is
a linear image of a part of the input. A retrograde calculation function is realised by using the linear
imaging function inversely. A cascading of several Output Splitters is supported by an integrated
decision table for the combinability of inputs and outputs.

11 Supplement
Fig. 32: Schematic presentation function block Output Splitter
Function block Signal Characterizer
The function block "Signal Characterizer" has two channels the outputs of which are not in linear
relation with the respective input. The non-linear relation is dened by a look-up table with individually selectable x/y-pairs. The respective input signal is imaged on the corresponding output, hence
this function block can be used in a control loop or signal path. Optionally the function axis can be
exchanged in channel 2 so that the block can be also used in a reverse control loop.
Fig. 33: Schematic presentation function block Signal Characterizer
Function block Integrator
The function block "Integrator" integrates a continuous input signal over the time and sums the
results of an impulse input block. It is used as a totalizer up to a reset or as a subtotalizer up to a
reference point at which the integrated and accumulated value is compared with the default values.
When these default values are reached, digital output signals will be outputted. The integration function is carried out upwardly starting with zero and downwards with a default value. Two ow values
are also available so that the net ow volume can be calculated and integrated. This can be used for
calculation of volume and mass changes in the vessel or for optimisation of ow controls.

Function block Input Selector
The function block "Input Selector" oers selection possibilities for up to four inputs and generates
an output signal according to the selection criteria. Typical input signals are AI blocks. Selection
possibilities are maximum, minimum, mean value, average value and rst useful signal. Through
parameter combination, the block can be used as rotary switch or as preselection switch for the
rst useful value. Switch information can be received by other input blocks or the user. Mean value
selection is also supported.

Function block Arithmetic
The function block "Arithmetic" allows the simple integration of usual metrological calculation
functions. The user can select the requested algortihm according to the name without known the
formula.
