Levelflex FMP53
84 Endress+Hauser
Function
• In addition to the verification parameters, the corresponding parameter values are also logged.
• Existing measured variables, such as the echo amplitude, are used in the Foam detection and
Build-up detection wizards.
In the Levelflex FMP5x, the Foam detection and Build-up detection wizards cannot be used
together.
"Foam detection" wizard
• The Heartbeat Monitoring module contains the Foam detection wizard.
• This wizard is used to configure automatic foam detection, which detects foam on the product
surface on the basis of the reduced signal amplitude. Foam detection can be linked to a switch
output in order to control a sprinkler system, for example, which dissolves the foam.
• This wizard can be used via FieldCare, DeviceCare or a DTM-based process control system.
"Build-up detection" wizard
• The Heartbeat Monitoring module contains the Build-up detection wizard.
• The wizard is used to configure automatic buildup detection, which detects the buildup of deposits
on the probe on the basis of the reduced signal amplitude.
• This wizard can be used via FieldCare, DeviceCare or a DTM-based process control system.
Advantages
• Early detection of changes (trends) to ensure plant availability and product quality.
• Use of information for the proactive planning of measures (e.g. cleaning/maintenance).
• Identification of undesirable process conditions as the basis to optimizing the facility and the
processes.
• Automated control of measures to remove foam or buildup.
