BM 70 X Project Engineering Guidelines 01/2001
7.7.5 Sunshade
Recommended as protection for the signal converter
against direct sunshine from above
(increases overall height by approx. 20 mm (0.79“))
7.7.6 Special certificates at customer’s request
For example: 3.1B certificate, helium leakage test
7.7.7 PC-CAT program
Our instruments of the BM 70 product line are easy to install. To facilitate configuration, each unit is
supplied with the intuitive and time-tried software, PC-CAT for Windows.
PC-CAT provides a number of useful features including:
•
Quick on-site configuration
•
Print-out of configuration protocol
•
Simple conversion, volume or correction tables
•
Check routine to monitor functionality of the instrument
•
Monitoring and recording of the radar signal during operation
•
Trend and evaluation of the signal during operation
PC-CAT works on all IBM-compatible PC’s using Windows 9x or NT.
PC-CAT Version 4.00 and higher can communicate with all current KROHNE level radar gauges
including BM 70 A/P, and BM 702 versions, also with HART
®
protocol and RS 485. The PC-CAT kit
includes a PC adapter for current output. The adapter can be connected to the PC’s standard
RS 232 interface
.
PC-CAT allows convenient remote control of all functions of the signal converter. The vessel can be
shown in schematic form together with the associated measured values and the measured spectrum.
A trend graph of the output signal and threshold signal strength is also provided. All relevant
instrument data can be recorded in the form of a data set small enough to be stored on a floppy disk or
transferred electronically. Stored data can also be used for configuring other units of the BM 70
product line.
PC-CAT files can later be used to analyse the performance of the level gauge. All graphs and screens
can be exported a word processing systems or other programs.
The customer’s PC containing PC-CAT is connected to the current output via the supplied PC adapter,
max. distance from the level gauge: 1000 m or 3300 ft. The PC adapter has no effect on in-line
instruments such as milliammeters, recorders, etc., connected to the current output.
