Example 2 Level Monitoring and Control (up or down)
A vessel, containing a liquid that has a variation in level that is to be
monitored, and when the level reaches a specific point, the vessel is pumped
down, with the fluid being transferred to another process. The pump will be
assigned to Relay 1 a High Alarm to Relay 2 and Low Alarm to Relay 3.
In this example, there is a control relay (relay 1), which will come on if the
level rises to 2.24m (7.80 ft) and go off when the level drops to 0.56m (1.83
ft) (control down). If the level rises to 2.38m (7.80 ft), then the high-level
alarm (relay 2) will come on until the level drops to 2.24m (7.34 ft). If the
level falls to 0.28m (0.918 ft), then the low-level alarm (relay 3) will come on
until the level rises to 0.42m (1.37 ft).
Alternatively, if it is a control up application, then the on and off points for
the control relay are reversed, so the control device comes on when the level
is at 0.56m (1.83 ft) and goes off when it rises to 2.24m (7.34 ft). The display
will show the level in the tank and the mA output will be representative of
level where 4mA = empty level (0%) and 20mA = 2.8m (9.18 ft) (100%).
