SYSTEM
ARCHITECTURE
The output of the APEX and APEX Sentry Radar Gauges is a 4–20 mA
analog signal superimposed with a digital HART signal. As a result, the
primary variable (4–20 mA output) can be configured to represent either level
(APEX and APEX Sentry Radar Gauges) or calculated volume (APEX Radar
Gauge only), with up to three additional variables available through the HART
signal.
In addition to using the HART Communicator, you can view level and volume
variables using an optional Integral Display on the gauge or a Model 751 Field
Signal Indicator as a remote display (see Figure 1-2).
