What does EEEE mean on my Siemens HydroRanger 200 HMI display?
If your Siemens Controller displays 'EEEE', it means the value is too large to be displayed in 4 or 5 characters. You can select larger units or lower the convert reading to resolve this.
What to do if my Siemens HydroRanger 200 HMI Controller displays Open and tb:(#)?
If your Siemens Controller displays 'Open and tb:(#)', it could mean the transducer is not connected, or the connection is reversed. Check the connection to the displayed terminal blocks. Alternatively, it could indicate an open-circuited transducer cable or a defective transducer at the indicated terminal block number, in which case you should repair or replace as necessary.
What to do if my Siemens HydroRanger 200 HMI reading is fixed, but the material level changes?
If the reading on your Siemens Controller is fixed while the material level changes, consider these possibilities. The speed of response might be inadequate, so verify the setting. You might have a Loss of Echo condition (LOE); check Noise, Echo Strength, and Confidence, and ensure the LOE Timer isn't set too short. An agitator blade might be stopped in front of the transducer, causing a false echo. Foam on the surface, an incorrect algorithm, or incorrect transducer mounting could also be the cause. Finally, unavoidable false echoes from obstructions might be the issue; relocate the transducer to ensure a clear path to the material surface. Also, ensure that you are using the correct transducer for the application.
Why is my Siemens Controller reading erratic?
An erratic reading on your Siemens Controller could be due to several reasons. Check the transducer mounting to ensure the beam has a clear path to the material surface. Unavoidable false echoes from obstructions might be present; try using Auto False Echo Suppression. Low confidence levels, multiple echoes, or noise in the application could also be contributing factors. Verify the source of the noise and minimize it.
Why is the accuracy varying on my Siemens Controller?
If the accuracy of your Siemens Controller varies, it could be due to a faulty temperature sensor; verify its operation and replace it if needed, or use a fixed temperature. Vapors present in varying concentrations or thermal gradients could also affect accuracy. Consider eliminating vapors or using a different technology, and insulate the vessel or use an external temperature sensor for thermal gradients. If the accuracy is consistently incorrect, perform a calibration.
What to do if my Siemens HydroRanger 200 HMI displays Error and tb:(#)?
If your Siemens Controller displays 'Error and tb:(#)', it could be due to a few reasons. The wrong transducer might be selected; verify the transducer type and re-enter the correct value. It could also be that the transducer is connected in a 'two-wire' method; ensure you're using all three terminal blocks and not tying the white and shield wires together. Another possibility is that the transducer is connected backward; reverse the black and white wires on the terminal block.
What does LOE mean on my Siemens Controller display?
If your Siemens Controller displays 'LOE', it indicates a weak or non-existent echo. Try relocating and/or re-aiming the transducer at the material.
How to fix configuration error 130 on a Siemens HydroRanger 200 HMI Controller?
Configuration error 130 on a Siemens Controller typically arises from relay/pump configuration issues. Possible causes include assigning a relay to more than one function, pump setpoints being out of order, or a wall cling adjustment range being too large. To resolve this, verify that each relay is assigned to only one function. Review the relay assignments and ensure that the ON setpoints are greater than their respective OFF setpoints.
What to do if my Siemens Controller display is blank?
If the display on your Siemens Controller is blank and the transducer is not pulsing, the issue is likely related to power. Check the power supply, wiring, or power fuse.
Why does the Siemens HydroRanger 200 HMI parameter remain unchanged when set via remote communications?
If a HydroRanger 200 HMI parameter remains unchanged after being set via remote communications, try setting the parameter from the local push buttons. If it cannot be set using the buttons, ensure that Write Protection is set to the unlock value (1954).
