Echo curve
Menu section, service
In this menu item you simulate a user-defined level or pressure
value via the current output. This allows you to test the signal
path, e.g. through connected indicating instruments or the
input card of the control system.
The following simulation variables are available:
l Percent
l Current
l Pressure (with pressure transmitters)
l Distance (with radar and guided microwave)
With Profibus PA sensors, the selection of the simulated value
is made via the "Channel" in the menu "Basic adjustments".
How to start the simulation:
1 Push [OK]
2 Select the requested simulation variable with [->] and
confirm with [OK]
3 Set the requested value with [+] and [->].
4 Push [OK]
The simulation is now running, with 4 … 20 mA/HART a
current is outputted and with Profibus PA or Foundation
Fieldbus a digital value.
How to interrupt the simulation:
à Push [ESC]
Information:
The simulation is terminated automatically 10 minutes after the
last key has been pushed.
