SITRANS LR560
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 consists of 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 of buildup on the lens antenna, however an air purge inlet
is provided for periodic cleaning if required.
SITRANS LR560 supports PROFIBUS PA 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). This device supports
acyclic communications from both a PROFIBUS Class I and Class II master.
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 infrared handheld programmer, or from a remote location using one
of the following options:
• PROFIBUS PA (using SIMATIC PDM, FDT [such as PACTware or Fieldcare])
• HART (using 375 handheld Field Communicator, SIMATIC PDM, AMS, FDT [such as
PACTware or Fieldcare]). See SITRANS LR560 (mA/HART) Instruction Manual for
more information.
• Foundation Fieldbus FF (using 375 handheld Field Communicator or AMS). See
SITRANS LR560 (Foundation Fieldbus) Instruction Manual for more information.
Once programmed, the graphic Local Display Interface (LDI) can be removed and used to
transfer parameters to multiple SITRANS LR560s.

SITRANS LR560
Local Display Interface (LDI)
• LDI may be ordered installed or added later as an
option
• can be mounted in 1 of 4 positions at 90 degree
intervals, for easy viewing after installation
• displays level and diagnostic information
including echo profile and trend over time
• backlit for easy viewing in dimly lit areas
• allows you to copy parameters from one device to
another
• provides high speed firmware transfer capabilities for future upgrades

Pressure Equipment Directive, PED, 97/23/EC
SITRANS LR560 Radar Level Measurement instrument falls below the limits of Article 3,
sections 1 & 2 of the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED, 97/23/EC) as a category I
pressure accessory. However, in accordance with PED, 97/23/EC, Article 3, section 3, this
equipment has been designed and manufactured in accordance with Sound Engineering
Practice (SEP) (see EU Commission Guideline 1/5).
WARNINGS:
• Installation shall be performed only by qualified personnel and in
accordance with local governing regulations.
• SITRANS LR560 is to be used only in the manner outlined in this manual,
otherwise protection provided by the device may be impaired.
• Never attempt to loosen, remove, or disassemble process connection
or instrument housing while vessel contents are under pressure.
• 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

• Improper installation may result in loss of process pressure.
Notes:
• For European Union and member countries, installation must be according to ETSI
EN 302372.
• Refer to the device label for approval information.
• SITRANS LR560 units are pressure 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 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

Installation
Mounting location
Nozzle location
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 out-
side 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.
• LR560 uses circular polarization.
Rotation of device is not required to
optimize signal.
Environment
• Provide easy access for
viewing the display and
programming via the
handheld programmer.
• Provide an environment
suitable for the ambient
temperature rating.
Notes:
• Correct location is key to a successful application.
• Avoid reflective interference from vessel walls and obstructions by following the
guidelines below.

Installation
1) For 4" and 6" Aimer: Loosen the set screws in the locking ring.
Holding the electronics enclosure firmly, loosen the Aimer locking ring using the C
spanner supplied, until the LR560 drops down slightly. The enclosure can then be
turned freely.
Markings on the flange indicate minimum and maximum rotation (see
Removable
Display
on page 22).
2) Direct SITRANS LR560 so the antenna is pointed at an angle perpendicular to the
material surface, if possible.
3) When the desired position is reached, re-tighten the locking ring using the C
spanner, and tighten set screws.
4) For the 3" Aimer flange, tapered split washers with pressure rated versions are
provided to keep nuts and bolts perpendicular to the flange surface.
Air Purging System
For convenient cleaning, a purging inlet is provided above the antenna. The system pro-
vides 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.
NOTE: Table continues on next page.
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 continu-
ous low pressure air.
• It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that any vacuum or pressure in the mea-
sured vessel is maintained, considering the hole that passes through the process
connection and SITRANS LR560 antenna system.

Purge Connection
• The purge connection is closed by
the manufacturer, using a 1/8" plug.
• When the plug is removed to
connect a purging system, the
operator is responsible for ensuring
that the purging circuit conforms to
"Ex" requirements: for example, by
fitting an NRV valve1).
Purge airflow
• The purge airflow is designed to create a strong vortex of air that rapidly cleans the
face of the lens.
• The air purge system can clean both dust and moisture off the lens.
• It can be used for periodic cleaning.

Auto False Echo Suppression
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
Auto False Echo Suppression (2.4.8.1.)
on
page 118 for a more detailed explanation.)
The learned TVT will be applied over a specified range. The default TVT is applied over the
remainder of the measurement range.
1) Make sure the material level is below all known obstructions.
2) Determine Auto False Echo Suppression Range. Measure the actual distance from
the sensor reference point to the material surface using a rope or tape measure.
Subtract 0.5 m (20") from this distance, and use the resulting value.
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.

FDT: Field Device Tool
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
Operating via SIMATIC PDM
on page 39 for more
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 Device
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. Click on Product Support then go to
Product Information/Process Instrumentation/Software & Communications.
The instrument EDD
The SITRANS LR560 PROFIBUS PA EDD for SITRANS DTM can be downloaded from the
product page of our website.
Go to www.siemens.com/LR560 under Support and click on Software Downloads.
Configuring a new device via FDT
The full process to configure a field device via FDT is outlined in an application guide which
can be downloaded from the product page of our website. Go to: www.siemens.com/LR560

Parameters
1.2. AFES (Auto False Echo Suppression) Wizard
If you have a vessel with known obstructions, we recommend using AFES to prevent false
echo detection.
This feature can also be used if SITRANS LR560 displays a false high level, or the reading
is fluctuating between the correct level and a false high level.
a) Make sure the material level is below all known obstructions.
b) Navigate to Level Meter > Diagnostics
(3.) > Echo Profile (3.1.) and press
RIGHT arrow to request a profile.
c) Determine a range that includes the
false echo but not the true echo: in the
example, 3.3 m.
d) Open the AFES wizard and press
DOWN arrow to continue.
e) Press RIGHT arrow to edit Auto
False Echo Suppression Range.
f) Enter the new range value and press
RIGHT arrow to transfer it.
g) Press DOWN arrow to initiate
Learn. A transition screen appears,
followed by the message Wizard
Complete.
h) Press DOWN arrow (Finish) to
save AFES parameter changes and return to Program menu.
(continued on next page)
Notes:
• Before using AFES, configure the device via the Quick Start wizard.
• 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.

Parameters
2.4.5.3. Echo Threshold
Sets the minimum echo confidence that the echo must meet in order to
prevent a Loss of Echo condition and the expiration of the LOE timer. When
Confidence (2.4.7.1.) exceeds Echo Threshold (2.4.5.3.), the echo is
accepted as a valid echo and is evaluated.
Use this feature when an incorrect material level is reported.
2.4.5.4. CLEF Range
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 (2.4.5.4.) on page 118 .

Communication Troubleshooting
1. Check the following:
• There is power at the instrument.
• The LCD shows the relevant data.
• The device can be programmed using the hand-held programmer.
• If any fault codes are being displayed see
Acyclic Extended Diagnostics
(General Fault Codes)
on page 138 for a detailed list.
2. Verify that the wiring connections are correct.
3. Check the PROFIBUS address and make sure all devices are at unique PROFIBUS
addresses.
4. See the table below for specific symptoms (continued on next page).
If you continue to experience problems, go to our website at: www.siemens.com/LR560,
and check the FAQs for SITRANS LR560, or contact your Siemens Milltronics
representative.
Symptom Corrective action
The device cannot be
programmed via the hand-
held programmer.
•Make sure Write Protection (6.2.1.) on page 101 is set to the
unlock value.
You try to set a SITRANS
LR560 parameter via remote
communications but the
parameter remains
unchanged.
•Ensure Remote Lockout (6.1.1.) on page 101 is disabled.
•Ensure Write Protection (6.2.1.) on page 101 is set to the
unlock value.
• See
To reset the PROFIBUS address to 126:
on page
55 to disable an address lock.
The PLC value equals the
display value but does not
correspond to actual material
level.
•Ensure Scaling in AIFB1 is correctly entered.
• Ensure High Calibration Point is correctly entered.
• View the echo profile to see if the wrong echo is
being selected. If so, see
Operation Troubleshooting
on page 112 for possible causes and corrective
action.
The PLC value is not equal to
the displayed value
(regardless of actual material
level).
• Confirm you are looking at the right spot in the PLC.
• Ensure scaling has not been programmed into the
PLC: all scaling should be performed by the LR560.
• Check the network to ensure the PCL is communicat-
ing with the LR560.

Principles of Operation
SITRANS LR560 is a 2-wire 78 GHz FMCW (Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave)
radar level transmitter for continuous monitoring of solids in vessels1). Radar level
measurement uses the time of flight principle to determine distance to a material surface.
FMCW radar transmits a continuous wave. The frequency of the wave is constantly
increasing: this is known as the sweep. By the time the first part of the wave has been
reflected off the target and returned to the device, the part of the wave that is just being
emitted is at a higher frequency. The difference in frequency between the transmitted and
received signals is proportional to time of flight.
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 LR560 consists of an enclosed electronic circuit coupled to an antenna and
process connection. The electronic circuit generates a radar signal (78 GHz) that is
directed to the lens antenna.
The signal is emitted from the lens antenna, and the reflected echoes are digitally
converted to an echo profile. The profile is analyzed to determine the distance from the
sensor reference point2) to the material surface. This value (sensor value) is used as a
basis for calculating the display of material level.
Process Variables
The Process Variables are sensor value and measured value. Sensor value is the
distance from the sensor reference point (flange face) to the material surface. The
measured value can be either Level (distance from low calibration point to material
surface), Distance (distance from sensor reference point to the material surface), or
Space (distance from high calibration point to the material surface).
Echo Processing
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.
Note: Where a number follows the parameter name (for example, Algorithm (2.4.5.1.)
this is the parameter access number via the local control buttons or the handheld
programmer. See
Parameter Reference
on page 62 for a complete list of parameters.
1) The microwave output level is significantly less than that emitted from cellular phones.
2) See
Dimensions
on page 12.
Page 116 SITRANS LR560 (PROFIBUS PA) – OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 7ML19985LT01
mmmmm
D: Technical Reference
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.
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 (2.4.8.1.)
on page 118 for
more details.
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 (2.4.5.1.)
The true echo is selected based on the setting for the Echo selection algorithm. For a list
of options see Algorithm (2.4.5.1.) on page 71.
Position Detect (2.4.5.2.)
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. The following options are available:
• Rising
•Center
•Hybrid
•CLEF (Constrained Leading Edge Fit)
Rising
Uses rising edge of the echo.
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.

CLEF Range (2.4.5.4.)
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 (2.4.5.2.).
CLEF Range is referenced from Far Range.
Echo Threshold (2.4.5.3.)
Confidence (2.4.7.1.) 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.
Echo Lock (2.4.6.1.)
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 LR560 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.
Auto False Echo Suppression (2.4.8.1.)
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.
Notes:
• For detailed instructions on using this feature via PDM see
Auto False Echo
Suppression
on page 48.

D: Technical Reference
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.
Auto False Echo Suppression Range (2.4.8.2.)
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.

Measurement Range
Near Range (2.4.1.)
Near Range programs SITRANS LR560 to ignore the zone in front of the antenna. The
default blanking distance is 27.8 cm (0.91 ft) from the sensor reference point.
Near Range allows you to increase the blanking value from its factory default. But Auto
False Echo Suppression (2.4.8.1.) is generally recommended in preference to extending
the blanking distance from factory values.
Far Range (2.4.2.)
Far Range allows the echo processing to see and process signals that are lower than the
Low Calibration setting.
Potential uses are:
• 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.
• Where Low Calibration setting is above vessel empty level, but the vessel is emptied
occasionally. In this case the echo will be tracked below the Low Calibration setting
and the device will maintain a zero level reading.
Measurement Response
Response Rate (2.3.6.1.) 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/min 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
Note: Units are defined in Unit (2.3.1.) and are in meters by default.

D: Technical Reference
Damping
Filter Time Constant (2.5.8.1.) 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.
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 (2.4.7.1.) describes the quality of an echo. HIgher values represent higher
quality.
Echo Threshold (2.4.5.3.)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 (2.3.3.) 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:
S: 0 LOE S: 2 NO TECH POWER
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.
LOE Timer
LOE Timer (2.3.3.) 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.

D: Technical Reference
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 (2.5.9.1.)
Mode determines the material level to be reported when LOE Timer (2.3.3.) expires.
Value (2.5.9.2.)
Value defines the material level to be reported if the option Use substitute value is
selected in Mode (2.5.9.1.).
The two Analog Input Function blocks are set separately.
To set a user-defined value
• Navigate to the Level Meter > Setup > desired Analog Input (1 or 2).
•Set Mode (2.5.9.1.) to Use substitute value.
•Go to Value (2.5.9.2.) and enter the desired value.

PROFIBUS Level Device Design
The device follows the profile block model and is implemented as a Profile 3.01, Class B,
PA device. Standard profile parameters are used to program the level transducer block.
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).
Transducer Block (TB)
The Transducer Block carries out adjustments to the sensor, such as level calibration (and
volume calibration, if supported). It supplies the measured value1) utilized by either or
both of the AIFBs.
Analog Input Function Blocks AIFB1 and AIFB2
The two AIFBs are identical and completely independent of each other. They utilize the
measured value1) output from the Transducer Block and apply any required quality
checks, scaling, and Fail-safe operation selections.
The output from the Analog Input Function Block supplies the measured value with
associated status information to the PROFIBUS PA network via cyclic data transfer.

Description of the blocks
Transducer Block
The figure below shows the signal flow of measured values from the sensor through the
Transducer Block into the output value:
•Primary Value (PV)
1): Level (or Volume, if supported. LR560 does not support
volume).
• Secondary Value 1 (SV1): Level
• Secondary Value 2 (SV2): Distance
The Transducer Block implements all of the basic parameters of the PROFIBUS profile
standard (illustrated in step 2 below).
How the Transducer Block works:
1) The sensor technology sub-block selects the proper echo. For an explanation of
sensor technology, see
Appendix D: Technical Reference
, page 115 onwards.
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.

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 indicators1) allow you to check the maximum and minimum temperatures that have
occurred.
AIFB (simulation, mode and status)
The input to the AIFB is a value with a status. The figure below shows how Measured
values are processed within an Analog Input Function Block to produce the device output
(communicated via cyclic transfer to PROFIBUS PA and displayed on the LCD).
How an Analog Input Function Block works
The AIFB provides a linear conversion to any desired units.
1) The value input to the AIFB is the measured value output from the Transducer Block,
in sensor units.
2) You can select any standard engineering units, or define a special unit, for the AIFB
output. Then scaling is applied.

3) Damping may be applied based on a user-selected time constant (see
Damping

page 121 for details).
4) The status of the input value received from the Transducer Block is checked. If the
status is Bad, a Fail-safe condition occurs. The setting for Fail-safe Mode
determines the Fail-safe value to be output.
5) Mode (2.5.2.) allows the entire AI block to be overridden by a Manual Output value.
See
Simulate Output
on page 53 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 (2.5.7.) on
page 79 for the specific parameters.

SITRANS LR560 (PROFIBUS PA) is a Profile Version 3.01, Class B, PA device. It supports
Class 1 Master for cyclic and acyclic data exchange, and Class 2 for acyclic services.
The full range of SITRANS LR560 functions is available only over a PROFIBUS PA
network.
PROFIBUS PA is an open industrial protocol. Full details about PROFIBUS PA can be
obtained from PROFIBUS International at www.profibus.com.
Device Configuration tool
To use PROFIBUS PA, you will need a PC configuration tool: we recommend
SIMATIC PDM. Please consult the operating instructions or online help for details on
using SIMATIC PDM. (You can find more information at www.fielddevices.com: go to
Products and Solutions > Products and Systems > Communications and Software >
Process Device Manager.)
SIMATIC PDM
SIMATIC PDM is a software package used to commission and maintain SITRANS LR560
and other process devices. For more detail see
Functions in SIMATIC PDM
on page 39.
Electronic Device Description
In order to use Process Device Manager (PDM) with PROFIBUS PA, you will need the
Electronic Device Description for SITRANS LR560. For details see
Electronic Device
Description (EDD)
on page 39.
Network Configuration
To configure a PROFIBUS PA Class 1 Master (for example, a PLC), you will need a GSD
file.
The GSD file
The GSD file SIEM816B.gsd is available from the SITRANS LR560 product page on our
web site at www.siemens.com/LR560. Go to Support > Software Downloads.
Bus Termination
Power Demands
To determine how many devices can be connected to a bus line, calculate the combined
maximum current consumption of all the connected devices: 13.5 mA for SITRANS LR560.
Allow a current reserve for safety.
Note: PROFIBUS PA MUST be terminated at both extreme ends of the cable for it to
work properly. Please refer to the PROFIBUS PA User and Installation Guidelines (order
number 2.092), available from www.profibus.com.

PROFIBUS address
A unique PROFIBUS address identifies each device on the network. To set the PROFIBUS
address see Device Address (5.1.) on page 100.
Resetting the PROFIBUS address to 126
• Via SIMATIC PDM:
a) Open the menu Device – Master Reset and click on Reset Address to 126.
b) Click on OK: the address will be reset to 126, and if the address lock was on, it
will be disabled.
• Via the handheld programmer:
a) Navigate to Service (4.) > Master Reset (4.2.). (You can enter the numeric value
instead of navigating via the Arrow keys.)
b) Press RIGHT Arrow to open Edit Mode then scroll down to DEV ADDRESS and
press RIGHT Arrow to select it. The address will be reset to 126, and if the
address lock was on, it will be disabled.
c) Press LEFT Arrow to exit.
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 LR560 can be identified in one of three ways:
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 LR560 as a profile device see PROFIBUS Ident Number (5.2.) on
page 101.
Notes:
• It is possible to change the device address via a Class 1 master (for example, a PLC)
and lock the device address to prevent further changes.
• If this Address Lock is on, the PA address cannot be changed. This lock can be
disabled only by performing an Address Reset.

Configuring a device
See
Configuring a new device
on page 40.
Configuring PROFIBUS PA with an S7-300/ 400 PLC
1) If SITRANS LR560 is not listed in the STEP 7 device catalog, you can download the
GSD file from the Siemens Web site and import it into Step 7. Go to
www.siemens.com/LR560 and click Downloads.
2) Add the SITRANS LR560 "rack": click and drag the SITRANS LR560 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.
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.
Cyclic Data
When you configure SITRANS LR560 on the PROFIBUS PA bus, there are two slots
available for modules.
Slot 0 always transmits AIFB1 information1); 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, or Distance.
Within the function blocks, the values are scaled according to the user requirements
(please see
AIFB (simulation, mode and status)
on page 127 for details).
(continued on next page)
Note: Each of the slots has to have a module defined in it.
1) For more information, please see
AIFB (simulation, mode and status)
on page
127.

F: Communications PA
AIFB1 and AIFB2 return 5 bytes of data each:
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.
Status Byte
In PROFIBUS PA there are two possible types of status byte:
•condensed status: one of two status bytes defined in Profile Standard V3.01
•status byte: the status byte originally defined in Profile Standard V3.0
You can choose which type of status byte will be returned, by enabling or disabling
Condensed Status (3.5.)
Condensed Status
These codes are available when Condensed Status is enabled. See Condensed Status
(3.5.) on page 83 for more details.

– after setting the FB to MAN mode
– after a restart (e.g. power down cycle) if the simula-
tion is enabled or the FB is in MAN mode
– after passivation is cleared if simulation is enabled or
the FB is in MAN mode
• In MAN mode the status remains until a subsequent
write command overwrites the OUT value after the 10
seconds have expired.
• In simulation mode the written status is buffered and
appears in the value flow after 10 seconds. However the
new written SIMULATE parameter with its status can
be read before the 10 seconds have expired.

Diagnostics
All diagnostic information shown below is viewable via PDM.
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
on page 137 and
Condensed Mode Diagnosis
on page 136).
The same information is also available acyclically via the Diagnosis Object.
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 sen-
sor malfunction: value is BAD.
0x01 There is an error in the configuration of the function blocks in PROFI-
BUS PAa).
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.

Acyclic Data
SITRANS LR560 supports up to four simultaneous connections by a Class 2 Master
(C2 connection). It supports one connection by a Class 1 Master (C1 connection).
In order for a Class 1 Master to read parameters from an instrument, it needs to know the
slot and absolute index of the parameter. You can download an application guide
’Reading acyclic data from a Siemens level measuring instrument’ from our website at:
www.siemens.com/LR560 under Support.
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.
Each block has a slot number and an Index Offset value.
To get the absolute index for any parameter, add the Index Offset for the appropriate
block to the relative index for that parameter. The parameter takes the slot number of the
block in which it is located.
For example:
• Parameter Static Revision Number has relative index = 1 and is located on AIFB1.
• It has Absolute Index = 17 (relative index 1 + index offset 16).
• It is located at Slot 1 (the slot number for AIFB 1).

accuracy: degree of conformity of a measure to a standard or 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 curve to avoid the
reading of false echoes. (See TVT.)
Auto False-Echo Suppression Distance: defines the endpoint of the custom 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 instrument 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 an instrument to denote the manner in which the
measurement settles to its steady indication after a change in 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.1)
1) Many conductive liquids/electrolytes exhibit dielectric properties; the relative
dielectric constant of water is 80.

Glossary
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 11.
echo: a signal reflected with sufficient magnitude and delay to be perceived as a signal
distinct from the one 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 Strength: describes the strength of the selected echo in dB above 1 μV rms.
Echo Profile: a graphical display of a processed echo.
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.
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.
lens antenna: an antenna consisting of a radiator and microwave lens to enhance the antenna
gain.
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.

Glossary
PROFIBUS PA: one of the PROFIBUS family of protocols, specifically tailored for the needs of
process industries (PA = Process Automation).
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.
stillpipe: a pipe that is mounted inside a vessel, parallel to the vessel wall and open to the
vessel at the bottom.
stilling-well: see stillpipe.
two wire radar: a low-energy radar. Can be loop powered, analog, intrinsically safe, or a digital
(BUS) transmitter.
TVT (time varying threshold): a time-varying curve that determines the threshold level above
which echoes are determined to be valid.
waveguide antenna: a hollow, metallic tube that transmits a microwave signal to the product
target.
