8.2.2 Operating philosophy
The individual parts of the operating menu are assigned to certain user roles (operator,
maintenance etc.). Each user role contains typical tasks within the device lifecycle.
Menu User role and tasks Content/meaning
Language task-oriented Role "Operator", "Maintenance"
Tasks during operation:
• Configuring the operational display
• Reading measured values
Defining the operating language
Operation • Configuring the operational display (e.g. display format,
display contrast)
• Resetting and controlling totalizers
Setup "Maintenance" role
Commissioning:
• Configuration of the measurement
• Configuration of the inputs and
outputs
Wizards for fast commissioning:
• Setting the input
• Configuring the outputs
• Configuring the operational display
• Defining the output conditioning
• Configuring the low flow cut off
• Configuring the empty pipe detection
"Advanced setup" submenu:
• For more customized configuration of the measurement
(adaptation to special measuring conditions)
• Configuration of totalizers
• Configuration of electrode cleaning (optional)
• Administration (define access code, reset measuring device)
Diagnostics "Maintenance" role
Fault elimination:
• Diagnostics and elimination of
process and device errors
• Measured value simulation
Contains all parameters for error detection and analyzing
process and device errors:
• "Diagnostic list" submenu
Contains up to 5 currently pending diagnostic messages.
• "Event logbook" submenu
Contains up to 20 or 100 (order option " Extended
HistoROM") event messages that have occurred.
• "Device information" submenu
Contains information for identifying the device.
• "Measured values" submenu
Contains all current measured values.
• "Heartbeat Technology" submenu
The functionality of the device is checked on demand and the
verification results are documented.
• "Simulation" submenu
Is used to simulate measured values or output values.
Expert function-oriented Tasks that require detailed knowledge
of the function of the device:
• Commissioning measurements under
difficult conditions
• Optimal adaptation of the
measurement to difficult conditions
• Detailed configuration of the
communication interface
• Error diagnostics in difficult cases
Contains all the parameters of the device and makes it possible
to access these parameters directly using an access code. The
structure of this menu is based on the function blocks of the
device:
• "System" submenu
Contains all higher-order device parameters that do not
pertain either to measurement or the measured value
communication.
• "Sensor" submenu
Configuration of the measurement.
• "Input" submenu (order option)
Configuring the status input.
• "Output" submenu
Configuring of the analog current outputs as well as the
pulse/frequency and switch output.
• "Communication" submenu
Configuration of the digital communication interface and the
Web server.
• "Application" submenu
Configuration of the functions that go beyond the actual
measurement (e.g. totalizer).
• "Diagnostics" submenu
Error detection and analysis of process and device errors and
for device simulation and Heartbeat Technology.
