What to do if Siemens SITRANS LR560 Transmitter service interval Reminder 2 has expired?
If the service interval as defined in Reminder 2 has expired on your Siemens Transmitter, perform service.
Why can't I change the SITRANS LR560 parameter on my Siemens Transmitter via remote communications?
If you are unable to change a SITRANS LR560 parameter via remote communications, ensure that Remote Lockout is disabled. Also, verify that Write Protection is set to the unlock value.
How to resolve Siemens SITRANS LR560 Transmitter internal error?
To resolve an internal error on your Siemens Transmitter, reset the power. If the fault persists, contact your local Siemens representative.
What does it mean if Siemens SITRANS LR560 display shows level or target is out of range?
If the display shows that the level or target is out of range on your Siemens Transmitter: * Check the specifications. * Check LOW CALIBRATION POINT (2.3.5.1.). * Increase CONFIDENCE (2.4.7.1.).
What to do if PLC value equals display value but does not correspond to actual material level on Siemens Transmitter?
If the PLC value equals the display value but doesn't correspond to the actual material level on your Siemens Transmitter: * Ensure Scaling in AIFB1 is correctly entered. * Ensure the High Calibration Point is correctly entered. * View the echo profile to see if the wrong echo is being selected.
What to do if PLC value is not equal to the displayed value on Siemens Transmitter?
If the PLC value is not equal to the displayed value on your Siemens Transmitter: * Confirm you are looking at the right spot in the PLC. * Ensure scaling has not been programmed into the PLC: all scaling should be performed by the device. * Check the network to ensure the PLC is communicating with the device.
How to resolve an IDENT number conflict on a Siemens SITRANS LR560 Transmitter?
To resolve an IDENT number conflict on your Siemens Transmitter, ensure the value of the Ident number selector is correct for the network configuration. If it is correct, the device needs to be re-parameterized by the PLC.
Why is the reading response slow on my Siemens SITRANS LR560 Transmitter?
If the reading response is slow on your Siemens Transmitter, the FILL RATE/MIN (2.3.6.2.) setting might be incorrect. Increase the measurement response if possible.
What to do if Siemens SITRANS LR560 sensor nearing lifetime limit Reminder 2?
If the sensor on your Siemens Transmitter is nearing its lifetime limit according to the value set in Reminder 2, replacement is recommended.
What to do if the controller value is not equal to the displayed value on my Siemens SITRANS LR560 Transmitter?
If the controller value isn't matching the displayed value, first, make sure you're checking the correct location in the controller. Then, ensure that scaling is only programmed into the LR560, not the controller itself. Finally, verify that the network connection between the controller and the LR560 is working correctly.
