SITRANS LR560 (mA/HART) – INSTRUCTION MANUAL

SITRANS LR560 Overview
SITRANS LR560 is a 2-wire, 78 GHz FMCW radar level transmitter for continuous
monitoring of solids in vessels to a range of 100 m (329 ft). The plug and play performance
is ideal for all solids applications, including those with extreme dust and high
temperatures to +200 °C (+392 °F). The device is an electronic circuit coupled to a lens
antenna and flange for quick and easy positioning.
Programming
SITRANS LR560 is very easy to install and configure via an optional graphical local
display interface. You can modify the built-in parameters either locally via the push
buttons or using the infra-red handheld programmer, or from a remote location using one
of the following options:
•
HART (using 375 handheld Field Communicator, SIMATIC PDM, AMS, Pactware FDT/
DTM)
•
PROFIBUS PA (using SIMATIC PDM, FDT [such as PACTware or Fieldcare]) (See
SITRANS LR560 (PROFIBUS PA) Instruction Manual for more information.)
•
Foundation Fieldbus FF (using handheld 375 Field Communicator, FF host system or
AMS Device Manager) [See SITRANS LR560 (Foundation Fieldbus) Instruction
Manual for more information.]
Once programmed, the graphic Local Display Interface (LDI) can be removed if desired
and used to transfer parameters to multiple SITRANS LR560s.
7ML19985KB01
SITRANS LR560 (mA/HART) – INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Page 5
mmmmm
SITRANS LR560 supports HART communication protocol, and SIMATIC PDM software.
Signals are processed using Process Intelligence which has been field-proven in over
1,000,000 applications worldwide (ultrasonic and radar).
SITRANS LR560
The main benefits of using 78 GHz over devices using lower frequency are:
•
very narrow beam, so device is insensitive to mounting nozzle interference and
vessel obstructions.
•
short wavelength yields very good reflection properties on sloped solids, so aiming
towards material angle of repose is usually not necessary.
The technology is very tolerant to buildup on the lens antenna, however an air purge inlet
is provided for periodic cleaning if required.
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

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

Level application example
The application is a vessel that takes an average 3 hours (180 minutes) to fill and 3 weeks
to empty.
Fill rate = 0.08 m/minute [(Low Cal Pt. minus High Cal Pt.) / fastest of fill or empty time]
= (15.5 m – 1 m) / 180 min.
= 14.5 m /180 min. = 0.08 m/min.
Therefore SLOW response rate (0.1 m/minute) can be selected.

Auto False Echo Suppression
SIMATIC PDM
mmmmm
Notes:
• Make sure material level is below all known obstructions at the moment Auto False
Echo Suppression is used to learn a custom TVT (Time Varying Threshold). We
recommend an empty or almost empty vessel.
• Note the distance to material level when the environment is learned, and set Auto
False Echo Suppression Range to a shorter distance to avoid the material echo being
screened out.
If you have a vessel with known obstructions, we recommend using Auto False Echo
Suppression to prevent false echo detection. This feature can also be used if the device
displays a false high level, or the reading is fluctuating between the correct level and a
false high level.
The device learns the echo profile over the whole measurement range and the TVT is shaped
around all echoes present at that moment. (See Shaper Mode on page 94 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.

Make sure the material level is below all known obstructions.
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.

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 37 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 Data
Description) for the device.
Device Type Manager (DTM)
A DTM is a type of software that ’plugs into’ FDT. It contains the same information as an EDD
but an EDD is independent of the operating system.
SITRANS DTM
•
•
The SITRANS LR560 HART EDD for SITRANS DTM can be downloaded from the product page
of our website.
Go to www.siemens.com/sitransLR560 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/sitransLR560 under More Info and click on Application Guides.

The Instrument EDD
FDT: Field Device Tool
•
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/Automation Technology/Sensor systems/Process
Instrumentation/Software & Communications.
Operating via AMS Device Manager
AMS Device Manager is a software package used to commission and maintain SITRANS
LR560 and other process devices. Please consult the operating instructions or online help for
details on using AMS Device Manager. (You can find more information at

Appendix D: Technical Reference
Note: Where a number follows the parameter name (for example, Device (2.1.) this is
the parameter access number via the local push buttons or handheld programmer. See
Parameter Reference on page 76 for a complete list of parameters.
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 vessels to a range of 100 m
(329 ft)1). 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.
D: Technical Reference
mmmmm
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 and mA output.
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).
1)
The microwave output level is significantly less than that emitted from cellular phones.

SITRANS LR560 (mA/HART) – INSTRUCTION MANUAL
7ML19985KB01
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.
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.

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.
D: Technical Reference
In a vessel with obstructions, a false
echo may occur. See Shaper Mode
(2.8.4.) on page 126 for more details.
default TVT
Algorithm (2.7.3.1.)
The true echo is selected based on the setting for the Echo selection algorithm. For a list
of options see Algorithm (2.7.3.1.) on page 88.
Position Detect (2.7.3.3.)
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 settings 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.
D: Technical Reference
mmmmm
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.

Echo Threshold (2.7.3.2.)
Confidence (2.7.6.1.) 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.
7ML19985KB01
SITRANS LR560 (mA/HART) – INSTRUCTION MANUAL

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 (2.7.3.3.).
CLEF Range is referenced from Far Range.
D: Technical Reference
CLEF Range (2.7.3.4.)
Echo Lock (2.7.4.1.)
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.
Shaper Mode (2.8.4.)
Notes:
• For detailed instructions on using this feature via PDM, see Auto False Echo
Suppression on page 46.
• For detailed instructions on using this feature via the handheld programmer, see
Shaper Mode (2.8.4.) on page 94.
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.
D: Technical Reference
mmmmm
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.
Shaper Mode (2.8.4.)
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.
Page 126
SITRANS LR560 (mA/HART) – INSTRUCTION MANUAL
7ML19985KB01
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.

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 Shaper
Mode (2.8.4.) is generally recommended in preference to extending the blanking distance
from factory values.
Far Range (2.7.2.)
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.

Damping
Damping Filter (2.2.3.) smooths out the response to a sudden change in level. This is an
exponential filter and the engineering unit is always in seconds.
Damping example
time constant = 2 seconds
input (level) change = 2 m
Level (m)
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.

Analog Output
The mA Output (current output) is proportional to material level in the range 4 to 20 mA.
0% and 100% are percentages of the full-scale reading (m, cm, mm, ft, in). Typically mA
output is set so that 4 mA equals 0% and 20 mA equals 100%.
While the device is in PROGRAM mode, the output remains active and continues to
respond to changes in the device.
SITRANS LR560 automatically returns to Measurement mode after a period of inactivity
in PROGRAM mode.

Sensor Mode (2.2.2.)
This parameter controls the input. Depending on the reference point used, the
measurement reports either Level, Space, or Distance. By default Sensor Mode is set to
Distance.

You also have the option to put the device out of service, in which case the device
defaults to Fail-safe mode, and the reported level depends on the device type. A standard
device reports the last valid reading, and a NAMUR NE 43-compliant device reports the
user-defined value for Material Level (3.58 mA by default).

Current Output Function (2.6.1.) controls the mA output and applies any relevant scaling.
By default it is set to Distance. Other options are Space and Level.
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 (2.7.6.1.) describes the quality of an echo. Higher values represent higher
quality.
Echo Threshold (2.7.3.2.) 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 Timer (2.5.2.), 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 Fail-safe.
S: 0 LOE
S: 52 Fail-safe
Fail-safe Mode
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.
Timer (2.5.2.) determines the length of time a Loss of Echo (LOE) condition will persist
before a Fail-safe state is activated. The default setting is 100 seconds.
Material Level (2.5.1.) determines the material level to be reported when Timer (2.5.2.)
expires.

Highway Addressable Remote Transducer, HART, is an industrial protocol that is
superimposed on the 4-20 mA signal. It is an open standard, and full details about HART
can be obtained from the HART Communication Foundation at www.hartcomm.org
SITRANS LR560 can be configured over the HART network using either the HART
Communicator 375 by Emerson, or a software package. The recommended software
package is the SIMATIC Process Device Manager (PDM) by Siemens.
SIMATIC PDM
This software package is designed to permit easy configuration, monitoring, and
troubleshooting of HART devices. The HART EDD for SITRANS LR560 was written with
SIMATIC PDM in mind and has been extensively tested with this software.
For more information, see Operating via SIMATIC PDM on page 37.
HART Electronic Device Description (EDD)
In order to configure a HART device, the configuration software requires the HART
Electronic Device Description for the instrument in question.
You can download the HART EDD for SITRANS LR560 from the product page of our

Glossary
accuracy: degree of conformity of a measure to a standard or true value.
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 learned TVT distance. (See
TVT.) This is used in conjunction with Auto False-Echo Suppression.
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: describes the quality of an echo. Higher values represent
higher quality. Confidence threshold defines the minimum value.
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 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.
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
7ML19985KB01

beam spreading: the divergence of a beam as it travels through a medium.
Glossary
beam width: the angle diametrically subtended by the one-half power limits (-3 dB) of the
microwave beam.
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 reflected with sufficient magnitude and delay to be perceived as a signal distinct
from that are 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 referred to 1 mV rms.
Echo Profile: a graphical display of a processed echo.
Glossary
mmmmm
false echo: any echo which is not the echo from the desired target. Generally, false echoes are
created by vessel obstructions.
FMCW: FMCW (Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave) 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.
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.
HART: Highway Addressable Remote Transducer. An open communication protocol used to
address field instruments.
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 a microwave lens to enhance the
antenna gain. It is similar to an optical lens used to straighten spherical wave fronts.
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.
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.
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 4 to 20 mA,
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.
