FIELDVUE Digital Level
Instruments
FIELDVUE DLC3010 digital level controllers (figures 1
and 3) are loop‐powered instruments. In conjunction
with a 249 sensor, they measure changes in liquid
level, the level of an interface between two liquids, or
liquid specific gravity (density). The DLC3020f is a
fieldbus‐powered instrument that measures liquid
level or interface between two liquids. A level, density,
or interface level change in the measured fluid causes
a change in the displacer position.
This change is transferred to the torque tube assembly
and to the digital level controller lever assembly. The
rotary motion moves a magnet attached to the lever
assembly, changing the magnetic field that is sensed
by the Hall‐effect sensor. In the DLC3010, the sensor
converts the magnetic field signal to a varying
electronic signal, which is converted to a 4‐20 mA
output signal. In the DLC3020f, the sensor converts
the changing magnetic field to a digital signal, which is
ambient temperature compensated, linearized, and
sent to the electronics assembly.
Standard or Custom Configuration... the DLC3010
digital level controller in combination with a 249W
sensor enables users to install digital level transmitters
to a variety of industry standard or custom process
vessel connections. The sensor consists of a wafer
body, torque tube assembly and displacer and is rated
for CL150, 300, and 600. The wafer body mounts
between NPS 3 or 4 raised face flanges. Custom
configurations are also available to meet your specific
application requirements. Refer to the
DLC3010/DLC3020f specifications in tables 1, 2, 3, and
9, and the 249 specifications in tables 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and
9 for product line capabilities and options.
HART/AMS Compliant... The DLC3010 uses HART
protocol to interface with the Field Communicator
(see figure 1) for field interface operations. Advanced
user‐interface capabilities are enabled by AMS Suite:
Intelligent Device Manager.
F
OUNDATION fieldbus/AMS Compliant... The DLC3020f
uses F
OUNDATION fieldbus protocol to interface with the
Field Communicator (see figure 1) for field interface
operations. Advanced user‐interface capabilities are
enabled by AMS Suite: Intelligent Device Manager (see
figure 2).
