 SITRANS LR250 (PROFIBUS PA) Operating Instructions, 08/2014, A5E32221386-AC 241  Appendix A: Technical reference A    Note Where a number follows the parameter name [for example, Master Reset (4.1.)] this is the parameter access number via the handheld programmer. See Parameter Reference (Page 107) for a complete list of parameters.  A.1 Principles of operation SITRANS LR250 is a 2-wire 25 GHz pulse radar level transmitter for continuous monitoring of liquids and slurries. (The microwave output level is significantly less than that emitted from cellular phones.) Radar level measurement uses the time of flight principle to determine distance to a material surface. The device transmits a signal and waits for the return echo. The transit time is directly proportional to the distance from the material. Pulse radar uses polarized electromagnetic waves. Microwave pulses are emitted from the antenna at a fixed repetition rate, and reflect off the interface between two materials with different dielectric constants (the atmosphere and the material being monitored). Electromagnetic wave propagation is virtually unaffected by temperature or pressure changes, or by changes in the vapor levels inside a vessel. Electromagnetic waves are not attenuated by dust. SITRANS LR250 consists of an enclosed electronic circuit coupled to an antenna and process connection. The electronic circuit generates a radar signal (25 GHz) that is directed to the antenna. The signal is emitted from the antenna, and the reflected echoes are digitally converted to an echo profile. The profile is analyzed to determine the distance from the material surface to the sensor reference point. See Dimension drawings (Page 195). This distance is used as a basis for the display of material level and mA output.
Appendix A: Technical reference   A.2 Echo processing  SITRANS LR250 (PROFIBUS PA) 242 Operating Instructions, 08/2014, A5E32221386-AC A.2 Echo processing A.2.1 Process Intelligence The signal processing technology embedded in Siemens radar level devices is known as Process Intelligence. 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. The result is repeatable, fast and reliable measurement. This technology was developed as result of field data gained over some twenty years from more than 1,000,000 installations in many industries around the world. Higher order mathematical techniques and algorithms are used to provide intelligent processing of microwave reflection profiles. This "knowledge based" technique produces superior performance and reliability. A.2.2 Echo Selection Time Varying Threshold (TVT) A Time Varying Threshold (TVT) hovers above the echo profile to screen out unwanted reflections (false echoes).  In most cases the material echo is the only one which rises above the default TVT. In a vessel with obstructions, a false echo may occur. See Auto False Echo Suppression (Page 246) for more details.
  Appendix A: Technical reference  A.2 Echo processing SITRANS LR250 (PROFIBUS PA) Operating Instructions, 08/2014, A5E32221386-AC 243  ① default TVT ② echo profile ③ material level ④ echo marker 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 (2.5.7.1.) The true echo is selected based on the setting for the Echo selection algorithm. Options are true First Echo, Largest Echo, or best of First and Largest. Position Detect (2.5.7.2.) The echo position detection algorithm determines which point on the echo will be used to calculate the precise time of flight, and calculates the range using the calibrated propagation velocity (see Propagation Factor (2.5.3.) for values). There are three options: ● Center ● Hybrid ● CLEF (Constrained Leading Edge Fit)
Appendix A: Technical reference   A.2 Echo processing  SITRANS LR250 (PROFIBUS PA) 244 Operating Instructions, 08/2014, A5E32221386-AC Center Uses center of the echo. Hybrid Uses the Center algorithm for the top part of the vessel, and the CLEF algorithm for the part nearest the vessel bottom, according to the setting for CLEF range. CLEF (Constrained Leading Edge Fit) ● Uses the leading edge of the echo. ● Is used mainly to process the echo from materials with a low dK value. In an almost empty flat-bottomed vessel, a low dK material may reflect an echo weaker than the echo from the vessel bottom. The echo profile shows these echoes merging. The device may then report a material level equal to or lower than empty. The CLEF algorithm enables the device to report the level correctly. Example: CLEF off: Position set to Hybrid Vessel height: 1.5 m; CLEF range set to 0 (Center algorithm gives the same result.)  ① default TVT ② material echo ③ vessel bottom echo selected ④ echo marker
 Appendix A: Technical reference  A.2 Echo processing SITRANS LR250 (PROFIBUS PA) Operating Instructions, 08/2014, A5E32221386-AC 245 Example: CLEF enabled Vessel height: 1.5 m; CLEF range set to 0.5 m  ① default TVT ② material echo selected ③ vessel bottom echo ④ echo marker A.2.3 CLEF Range Determines the level below which the CLEF algorithm will be used. Above this level the Center algorithm is used when Hybrid is selected in Position Detect (2.5.7.2.). CLEF Range is referenced from Low Calibration Point (process empty level).  ① CLEF range ④ Low calibration point ② (Center algorithm applied) ⑤ Sensor reference point ③ High calibration point ⑥ Low Calibration Point (process empty level)
Appendix A: Technical reference   A.2 Echo processing  SITRANS LR250 (PROFIBUS PA) 246 Operating Instructions, 08/2014, A5E32221386-AC A.2.4 Echo Threshold Confidence (2.5.9.1.) 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.2.5 Echo Lock If the echo selected by Algorithm is within the Echo Lock window, the window is centered about the echo, which is used to derive the measurement. In radar applications, two measurement verification options are used: Lock Off SITRANS LR250 responds immediately to a new selected echo (within the restrictions set by the Maximum Fill / Empty Rate), but measurement reliability is affected. Material Agitator A new measurement outside the Echo Lock Window must meet the sampling criteria before the window will move to include it. The other available options, Maximum Verification and Total Lock are not recommended for radar. A.2.6 Auto False Echo Suppression   Note • For detailed instructions on using this feature via PDM see Auto False Echo Suppression (Page 88). • For detailed instructions on using this feature via the handheld programmer see Auto False Echo Suppression (2.5.10.1.).  Auto False Echo Suppression is designed to learn a specific environment (for example, a particular vessel with known obstructions), and in conjunction with Auto False Echo Suppression Range to remove false echoes appearing in front of the material echo. The material level should be below all known obstructions at the moment when Auto False Echo Suppression learns the echo profile. Ideally the vessel should be empty or almost empty, and if an agitator is present, it should be running. The device learns the echo profile over the whole measurement range and the TVT is shaped around all echoes present at that moment.
 Appendix A: Technical reference  A.2 Echo processing SITRANS LR250 (PROFIBUS PA) Operating Instructions, 08/2014, A5E32221386-AC 247 Auto False Echo Suppression Range (2.5.10.2.) Auto False Echo Suppression Range specifies the range within which the learned TVT is applied. Default TVT is applied over the remainder of the range. The learned TVT screens out the false echoes caused by obstructions. The default TVT allows the material echo to rise above it. Auto False Echo Suppression Range must be set to a distance shorter than the distance to the material level when the environment was learned, to avoid the material echo being screened out. Example before Auto False Echo Suppression  ① default TVT ⑤ high calibration point = 0 ② false echo ⑥ obstruction at 1.3. m ③ material echo ⑦ material level at 3.2 m ④ sensor reference point
Appendix A: Technical reference   A.2 Echo processing  SITRANS LR250 (PROFIBUS PA) 248 Operating Instructions, 08/2014, A5E32221386-AC Example after Auto False Echo Suppression     Auto False Echo Suppression Range set to 2 m   ① Learned TVT ④ Default TVT ② False echo ⑤ Material echo ③ Auto False Echo Suppression Range ⑥ Echo marker A.2.7 Measurement Range Near Range (2.5.1.) Near Range programs SITRANS LR250 to ignore the zone in front of the antenna. The default blanking distance is 50 mm (1.97") from the end of the antenna. Near Range allows you to increase the blanking value from its factory default. But Auto False Echo Suppression (2.5.10.1.) is generally recommended in preference to extending the blanking distance from factory values. Far Range (2.5.2.) Far Range can be used in applications where the base of the vessel is conical or parabolic. A reliable echo may be available below the vessel empty distance, due to an indirect reflection path. Increasing Far Range to 30% or 40% can provide stable empty vessel readings.
 Appendix A: Technical reference  A.2 Echo processing SITRANS LR250 (PROFIBUS PA) Operating Instructions, 08/2014, A5E32221386-AC 249 A.2.8 Measurement Response   Note Units are defined in Units (2.3.1.) and are in meters by default.  Response Rate (2.3.8.1.) limits the maximum rate at which the display and output respond to changes in the measurement. There are three preset options: slow, medium, and fast.  Once the real process fill/empty rate (m/s by default) is established, a response rate can be selected that is slightly higher than the application rate. Response Rate automatically adjusts the filters that affect the output response rate.  Response Rate (2.3.8.1) Fill Rate (2.3.8.2)/Empty Rate (2.3.8.3) * Slow 0.1 m/min (0.32 ft/min) 10 s  Medium 1.0 m/min (3.28 ft.min) 10 s  Fast 10.0 m/min (32.8 ft/min) 0 s A.2.9 Damping Filter Time Constant (2.6.8.1) 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.  Damping example time constant = 2 seconds input (level) change = 2 m
Appendix A: Technical reference   A.2 Echo processing  SITRANS LR250 (PROFIBUS PA) 250 Operating Instructions, 08/2014, A5E32221386-AC A.2.10 Loss of Echo (LOE) A loss of echo (LOE) occurs when the calculated measurement is judged to be unreliable because the echo confidence value has dropped below the echo confidence threshold. Confidence (2.5.9.1.) describes the quality of an echo. Higher values represent higher quality. Echo Threshold (2.5.7.3.) defines the minimum confidence value required for an echo to be accepted as valid and evaluated. If the LOE condition persists beyond the time limit set in LOE Timer (2.3.6.) the LCD displays the Service Required icon, and the text region displays the fault code S: 0 and the text LOE.  If two faults are present at the same time, the fault code, error text, and error icon for each fault are displayed alternately. For example, Loss of Echo and faulty power supply:     Upon receiving a reliable echo, the loss of echo condition is aborted, the Service Required icon and error message are cleared, and the reading returns to the current level. A.2.10.1 LOE Timer LOE Timer (2.3.6.) determines the length of time a Loss of Echo (LOE) condition will persist before a Fail-safe state is activated. The default is 100 seconds. Fail-safe Mode determines the level to be reported when the Fail-safe timer expires. A.2.10.2 Fail-safe Behavior 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. Fail-safe mode may be triggered by a loss of echo, a bad configuration, or certain device faults. You can select one of three possible values to be reported when a Fail-safe mode is activated. Mode Mode (2.6.9.1.) determines the material level to be reported when LOE Timer (2.3.6.) expires.  Mode (2.6.9.1.) SUB VALUE    Use substitute value. Value (2.6.9.2.) used as output value. LAST VALUE  *  Last value (Store last valid output value). USE BAD VALUE    Use bad value (Calculated output value is incorrect).

 Appendix A: Technical reference  A.4 Process Pressure/Temperature Derating Curves SITRANS LR250 (PROFIBUS PA) Operating Instructions, 08/2014, A5E32221386-AC 253 A.4 Process Pressure/Temperature Derating Curves   WARNING  • Never attempt to loosen, remove or disassemble process connection or device housing while vessel contents are under pressure. • Materials of construction are chosen based on their chemical compatibility (or inertness) for general purposes. For exposure to specific environments, check with chemical compatibility charts before installing. • The user is responsible for the selection of bolting and gasket materials which will fall within the limits of the flange and its intended use and which are suitable for the service conditions. • Improper installation may result in loss of process pressure and/or release of process fluids and/or gases.   Note • The process connection tag shall remain with the process pressure boundary assembly. (The process pressure boundary assembly comprises the components that act as a barrier against pressure loss from the process vessel: that is, the combination of process connection body and emitter, but normally excluding the electrical enclosure). In the event the device package is replaced, the process connection tag shall be transferred to the replacement unit. • SITRANS LR250 units are hydrostatically tested, meeting or exceeding the requirements of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and the European Pressure Equipment Directive. • The serial numbers stamped in each process connection body, (flange, threaded, or sanitary), provide a unique identification number indicating date of manufacture.  Example: MMDDYY – XXX (where MM = month, DD = day, YY = year, and XXX= sequential unit produced) • Further markings (space permitting) indicate flange configuration, size, pressure class, material, and material heat code.  Pressure Equipment Directive, PED, 97/23/EC Siemens Level Transmitters with flanged, threaded, or sanitary clamp type process mounts have no pressure-bearing housing of their own and, therefore, do not come under the Pressure Equipment Directive as pressure or safety accessories (see EU Commission Guideline 1/8 and 1/20).

Standard profile parameters are used to program the level transducer block. B.2 Block Model The Block Model represents how measured values are recorded and processed. All data is viewed from the perspective of the DCS or PLC, so information from the sensor is an input. The functions of the device are divided into blocks with different areas of responsibility. The blocks are configured by parameters. The device is implemented with one Physical Block, one Transducer Block (TB), and two Analog Input Function Blocks (AIFB1 and AIFB2). Physical Block  The Physical Block handles functionality and descriptions relating to the device as a whole: for example, LCD Contrast (functionality) and Firmware Revision and Tag (descriptions).
 Appendix B: PROFIBUS PA profile structure  B.2 Block Model SITRANS LR250 (PROFIBUS PA) Operating Instructions, 08/2014, A5E32221386-AC 267 Transducer Block (TB) The Transducer Block carries out adjustments to the sensor, such as level calibration and volume calibration. It supplies the measurement value [Primary Value (PV), Secondary Value 1 (SV1), or Secondary Value 2 (SV2)] utilized by either or both of the AIFBs. Analog Input Function Blocks AIFB1 and AIFB2 The two AIFBs are completely independent of each other. They utilize the measurement value output from the Transducer Block [Primary Value (PV), Secondary Value 1 (SV1), or Secondary Value 2 (SV2)] and apply any required quality checks, scaling, and Fail-safe operation selections. The Analog Input Function Block output supplies the measured value and associated status information to the PROFIBUS PA network via cyclic data transfer. B.2.1 Description of the blocks B.2.1.1 Transducer Block function groups The figure below shows the signal flow of measured values from the sensor through the Transducer Block into the output value: ● Primary Value (PV): Level or Volume ● Secondary Value 1 (SV1): Level ● Secondary Value 2 (SV2): Distance The Transducer Block implements all of the basic parameters (see diagram below), including level to volume calculation, if that option has been selected.
Appendix B: PROFIBUS PA profile structure   B.2 Block Model  SITRANS LR250 (PROFIBUS PA) 268 Operating Instructions, 08/2014, A5E32221386-AC Transducer Block  B.2.1.2 How the transducer block works: 1. The sensor technology block selects the proper echo. For an explanation of sensor technology, see Appendix A: Technical Reference (Page 241).  The sensor value (in sensor units) is checked to see if it is within its measuring limits. If the limit is exceeded, this results in a Bad status and the error message Failure in measurement. The sensor value is stored in Sensor Value.  The analog signal from the sensor is transformed into a digital representation.  A Sensor Offset (default 0) compensates for changes to the sensor reference point, if necessary. 2. Level Calibration is a linear transfer function that converts a sensor value to a level value.
 Appendix B: PROFIBUS PA profile structure  B.2 Block Model SITRANS LR250 (PROFIBUS PA) Operating Instructions, 08/2014, A5E32221386-AC 269   ① Distance/SV2 ⑥ Level ② High level point (default: 100%) ⑦ Low level point (default: 0%) ③ Sensor value a) ⑧ Level offset c) ④ High calibration point ⑨ Secondary value 1 ⑤ Sensor reference point b) ⑩ Low calibration point a) Referenced from Sensor Reference Point. b) Sensor Offset (2.3.7.3.) is a constant offset that can be added to or subtracted from sensor reference point to compensate if the sensor has been changed. c) Level Offset (default O) can compensate for specific vessel configurations. 3. Linearization can be carried out to accommodate complex vessel shapes, or to provide level to volume conversion. 4. The Transducer Block provides three possible outputs: –  Primary Value (PV) / Level or Volume – Secondary Value 1 (SV1) / Level – Secondary Value 2 (SV2) / Distance (sensor units)
Appendix B: PROFIBUS PA profile structure   B.2 Block Model  SITRANS LR250 (PROFIBUS PA) 270 Operating Instructions, 08/2014, A5E32221386-AC Electronics temperature  The Transducer Block monitors the internal temperature of the device electronics. A change in temperature can provide advance warning of a possible device failure, and allow for preventive maintenance. If a temperature limit is exceeded, the output value is unchanged but the output status changes. (The permitted limits correspond to those of the permitted ambient temperature.) Peak indicators allow you to check the maximum and minimum temperatures that have occurred. To see peak temperature values, Open the menu View – Device Diagnostics, select Device Status, and click on the tab Device Status. B.2.1.3 Analog Input Function Blocks 1 and 2 The input to the AIFB is a value with a status. See Transducer Block function groups (Page 267) for a graphic representation. Output conversion The Analog Input Function Blocks can modify the output value. Scaling  Output Scaling (2.6.6.) allows you to scale the output to any desired units. Fail-safe If the status of the input (TB output value or Simulation Value) is bad, the fault logic can output either the last usable measured value, or a given substitute value. Set Fail-safe Mode (2.6.9.) and, if desired, define a value in Value (2.6.9.2.). Device/input simulation You can define a simulated value to be input to the AIFB instead of the output value from the Transducer Block. The simulated value allows the AIFB to be tested independently of the characteristics of the environment. Actual Mode: Device / Output Simulation Actual Mode allows you to select one of three possible outputs.  Actual Mode (2.6.2.) Description Output value  AUTO automatic the automatically-recorded measured value MAN manual a manually-set fixed simulation value O/S function block disabled the preset safety value.
 Appendix B: PROFIBUS PA profile structure  B.2 Block Model SITRANS LR250 (PROFIBUS PA) Operating Instructions, 08/2014, A5E32221386-AC 271 AIFB function groups  Analog Input Function Block function groups (simulation, mode and status) Measured values are processed within an Analog Input Function Block to produce the device output. See AIFB function groups (Page 271). The output is communicated via cyclic transfer to PROFIBUS PA and displayed on the LCD.
Appendix B: PROFIBUS PA profile structure   B.2 Block Model  SITRANS LR250 (PROFIBUS PA) 272 Operating Instructions, 08/2014, A5E32221386-AC How an Analog Input Function Block works The AIFB provides a linear conversion to any desired units. 1. The AIFB Input value is the processed output value of the Transducer Block, in Transducer Block units. 2. The user selects the desired AIFB output units and scaling is applied.  3. Damping may be applied based on a time constant provided by the user. See Damping (Page 249) for details. 4. The status of the input value from the Transducer Block is checked. If the status is Bad, a Fail-safe condition occurs. The output is determined by the setting for Failsafe Mode. 5. Actual Mode (2.6.2.) allows the entire AI block to be overridden by a Manual Output value. See Actual Mode (2.6.2.) for details. 6. The value is checked against the user-defined warning and alarm limits. The upper and lower limits are defined in units corresponding to the Output range, and a limit hysteresis can be used to adjust the sensitivity. See Alarms and Warnings (2.6.7.) for details. 7. The output value (OUT) is communicated via cyclic data transfer.

Press LEFT Arrow to exit. C.6 Operating as a profile device Every manufactured PROFIBUS product has a unique PROFIBUS identification number which identifies it to the system. PROFIBUS Profile Standard version 3.01 also defines a Profile Model which can identify a product as a generic profile device on the network.  SITRANS LR250 can be identified in one of three ways:   Device Identification Profile Model  STD PROFILE Standard Profile (uses generic GSD for 2 AIFB [ident # = 0x9701] * MANUFACTURER Manufacturer-specific (uses Siemens EDD and GSD file, which identifies the LR250 [PROFIBUS PA]) [ident # = 0x8150]  STD – AIFB 1 ONLY Standard Profile AIFB 1 only (uses generic GSD for 1 AIFB) [ident # = 0x9700] Defining the device as Profile-specific as opposed to Manufacturer-specific makes it possible to exchange the device for any other device of the same profile type without changing the GSD file. To set up SITRANS LR250 as a profile device see PROFIBUS Ident Number (5.2.). C.6.1 Configuring a new device See Configuring a new device (Page 77).

If SITRANS LR250 is not listed in the STEP 7 device catalog, you can download the EDD files from the Siemens Web site and add them to your computer using the device integration procedure specific to your host software (eg. Step 7, or PDM, etc.) version. Go to the product page of our website and click on Support > Software Downloads:  Product page (http://www.siemens.com/LR250) 2. Add the SITRANS LR250 "rack": click and drag the SITRANS LR250 folder from the hardware catalog. 3. Fill the rack with desired modules, by dragging and dropping them from the hardware catalog. 4. After configuring PROFIBUS PA in steps 2 and 3, download it to the PLC. 5. Add code to the PLC program to read data consistently using the SFC14. C.7 Cyclic versus acyclic data When you request data from a device via PROFIBUS PA, you have two choices. Cyclic data is provided at every bus scan: acyclic data is requested and provided as needed.  Input information is always requested at every bus scan and is set up as cyclic data. Configuration information is only needed periodically and is set up as acyclic data.
 Appendix C: Communications via PROFIBUS  C.7 Cyclic versus acyclic data SITRANS LR250 (PROFIBUS PA) Operating Instructions, 08/2014, A5E32221386-AC 279 C.7.1 Cyclic data When you configure SITRANS LR250 on the PROFIBUS PA bus, there are two slots available for modules.   Note Each of the slots has to have a module defined in it.  Slot 0 always transmits AIFB1 information; slot 1 defaults to Free Place, but can be changed to AIFB2 information. If you do not wish to have data transmitted, then you must use a Free Place module in that slot. Each of the two Analog Input Function Blocks can be set up to return Level, Distance, or Volume. Within the function blocks, the values are scaled according to the user requirements [see Analog Input Function Blocks 1 and 2 (Page 270) for details]. AIFB1 and AIFB2 return 5 bytes of data each:   Floating Point Status AIFB1 byte 1 byte 2 byte 3 byte 4 byte 5 AIFB2 byte 6 byte 7 byte 8 byte 9 byte 10 The first 4 bytes are the floating point representation (IEEE) of the variable. The variables are the outputs of the function block. The 5th byte is the status word and the list of possible values is given in the chart below. The 5 bytes must be read consistently, in a contiguous chunk: they cannot be read byte by byte, and cannot suffer an interrupt. If you are using an S7-300 / 400, you will need to use SFC14 DPRD_DAT: Read Consistent Data of a Standard PD Slave.

When Condensed Status is disabled, Status Byte will be returned, and the following codes will be used.  Status Codes for good quality Values in hex notation Description 0x80 Data is GOOD. 0x84 A parameter in the function block has been changed: status active for 10 s 0x89  Active low warning. 0x8A Active high warning. 0x8D Active low alarm. 0x8E Active high alarm.   Status Codes for Uncertain Quality Values in hex notation Description 0x4B Value is a substituted value (normally used in Failsafe). 0x4C/0x4F Initial value. 0x47 Last usable value.   Status Codes for Bad Quality Values in hex notation Description 0x10 The LOE timer has expired: this could be caused by LOE or by a sensor malfunction: value is BAD. 0x01 There is an error in the configuration of the function blocks in PROFIBUS PA a). 0X1F The function block, or the transducer block, has been placed out of service.  a) This could happen when a firmware download has been done, but a system reset has not been done. This could also happen if the function blocks are not configured properly using the handheld programmer, PDM or acyclic services.

Simulation of a measured value is disabled or Input FB mode changes from MAN to AUTO. This Status remains active for 10 seconds after simulation ends. While this status is active there is no reliable process value. Measured values and their status are updated afterwards. See Acyclic Extended Diagnostics (General Fault Codes) (Page 286).

C.10 Diagnostics All diagnostic information shown below is viewable via PDM. C.10.1 Diagnosis reply (available cyclically) During DPV0 data exchange, the PROFIBUS PA slave will notify the Master when a serious error occurs. The Master will then send a Diagnosis request. The reply to this request is normally logged in the PLC and is referred to as the "Hex values." The reply may contain two parts. The first part is 6 bytes long and is defined by the PROFIBUS standard. If there is a second part, it is called the ’extended cyclic diagnosis’ and it is 8 bytes long. The last 4 bytes of the extended diagnostic message give the error diagnosis [see Extended Mode Diagnosis (Page 284) and Condensed Mode Diagnosis (Page 285)]. The same information is also available acyclically via the Diagnosis Object.

It supports one connection by a Class 1 Master (C1 connection). In order for a Class 1 Master to read parameters from a device, it needs to know the slot and absolute index of the parameter. The parameters are all listed in SIMATIC PDM under Help. If you do not have SIMATIC PDM you can download the EDD (Electronic Device Description) and reference the HTML help file directly. To find the slot and index numbers via SIMATIC PDM, go to Help > Communications, and select the appropriate block from the list. For each parameter, the slot and the relative index is listed. For example.

 SITRANS LR250 (PROFIBUS PA) Operating Instructions, 08/2014, A5E32221386-AC 301 Glossary   accuracy degree of conformity of a measure to a standard or a true value. agitator mechanical apparatus for mixing or aerating. A device for creating turbulence. algorithm a prescribed set of well-defined rules or processes for the solution of a problem in a finite number of steps. ambient temperature the temperature of the surrounding air that comes in contact with the enclosure of the device. antenna an aerial which sends out and receives a signal in a specific direction. There are four basic types of antenna in radar level measurement, horn, parabolic, rod, and waveguide. attenuation a term used to denote a decrease in signal magnitude in transmission from one point to another. Attenuation may be expressed as a scalar ratio of the input magnitude to the output magnitude or in decibels. Auto False-Echo Suppression a technique used to adjust the level of a TVT to avoid the reading of false echoes. (See TVT.) Auto-False Echo Suppression Distance defines the endpoint of the TVT distance. (See TVT.) This is used in conjunction with auto false echo suppression.
  beam angle the angle diametrically subtended by the one-half power limits (-3 dB) of the microwave beam. beam spreading the divergence of a beam as it travels through a medium. blanking a blind zone extending away from the reference point plus any additional shield length.The device is programmed to ignore this zone. capacitance the property of a system of conductors and dielectrics that permits the storage of electricity when potential differences exist between the conductors. Its value is expressed as the ratio of a quantity of electricity to a potential difference, and the unit is a Farad. confidence see Echo Confidence. damping term applied to the performance of a device to denote the manner in which the measurement settles to its steady indication after a change in the value of the level. dB (decibel) a unit used to measure the amplitude of signals. derating to decrease a rating suitable for normal conditions according to guidelines specified for different conditions. dielectric a nonconductor of direct electric current. Many conductive liquids/electrolytes exhibit dielectric properties; the relative dielectric constant of water is 80. dielectric constant (dK) the ability of a dielectric to store electrical potential energy under the influence of an electric field. Also known as Relative Permittivity. An increase in the
  dielectric constant is directly proportional to an increase in signal amplitude. The value is usually given relative to a vacuum /dry air: the dielectric constant of air is 1. echo a signal that has been reflected with sufficient magnitude and delay to be perceived in some manner as a signal distinct from that directly transmitted. Echoes are frequently measured in decibels relative to the directly transmitted signal. Echo Confidence describes the quality of an echo. Higher values represent higher quality. Echo Threshold defines the minimum value required for an echo to be accepted as valid and evaluated. Echo Lock Window a window centered on an echo in order to locate and display the echo’s position and true reading. Echoes outside the window are not immediately processed. Echo Marker a marker that points to the processed echo. Echo Processing the process by which the radar unit determines echoes. Echo Profile a graphical display of a processed echo. Echo Strength describes the strength of the selected echo in dB referred to 1 μV rms. false Echo any echo which is not the echo from the desired target. Generally, false echoes are created by vessel obstructions. frequency the number of periods occurring per unit time. Frequency may be stated in cycles per second.
  hertz (Hz): unit of frequency, one cycle per second. 1 Gigahertz (GHz) is equal to 109 Hz. horn antenna a conical, horn-shaped antenna which focuses microwave signals. The larger the horn diameter, the more focused the radar beam. inductance the property of an electric circuit by virtue of which a varying current induces an electromotive force in that circuit or in a neighboring circuit. The unit is a Henry. microwaves the term for the electromagnetic frequencies occupying the portion of the radio frequency spectrum from 1 GHz to 300 GHz. multiple echoes secondary echoes that appear as double, triple, or quadruple echoes in the distance from the target echo. Near Blanking see Blanking. nozzle a length of pipe mounted onto a vessel that supports the flange. parameters in programming, variables that are given constant values for specific purposes or processes. polarization the property of a radiated electromagnetic wave describing the time-varying direction and amplitude of the electric field vector. polarization error the error arising from the transmission or reception of an electromagnetic wave having a polarization other than that intended for the system.
  PROFIBUS PA one of the PROFIBUS family of protocols, specifically tailored for the needs of process industries (PA = Process Automation). propagation factor (pf) where the maximum velocity is 1.0, pf is a value that represents a reduction in propagation velocity as a result of the wave travelling through a pipe or medium. pulse radar a radar type that directly measures distance using short microwave pulses. Distance is determined by the return transit time. radar radar is an acronym for RAdio Detection And Ranging. A device that radiates electromagnetic waves and utilizes the reflection of such waves from distant objects to determine their existence or position. range distance between a transmitter and a target. range extension the distance below the zero percent or empty point in a vessel. relative permittivity see dielectric constant. repeatability the closeness of agreement among repeated measurements of the same variable under the same conditions. shot one transmit pulse or measurement.
  speed of light the speed of electromagnetic waves (including microwave and light) in free space. Light speed is a constant 299, 792, 458 meters per second. stilling-well  see stillpipe. stillpipe a pipe that is mounted inside a vessel parallel to the vessel wall, and is open to the vessel at the bottom. TVT (Time Varying Threshold) a time-varying curve that determines the threshold level above which echoes are determined to be valid. two wire radar a low-energy radar. Can be loop powered, analog, intrinsically safe 4 to 20 mA, or a digital (BUS) transmitter. waveguide antenna a hollow, metallic tube that transmits a microwave signal to the product target.
