Commissioning Levelflex M FMP40 with PROFIBUS PA
86 Endress + Hauser
Evaluation of the measurement:
• The map must correspond to the course of the envelope curve (for rod probes up to approx. 5 cm
and for rope probes up to approx. 25 cm before the end of the probe) when the tank is empty.
• Amplitudes in the differential curve should be at a level of 0 mV when the tank is empty and lie
within the span that is specified by the probe-specific blocking distances. In order to not detect
any interference echoes, there must be no signals that exceed the echo threshold when the tank
is empty.
• For partially-filled tanks, the map may only differ from the envelope curve at the position of the
level echo. The level signal is then detected unequivocally as a positive signal in the differential
curve. For detecting the level echo, the amplitude must lie above the echo threshold.
