Description

3.2 Programming

SITRANS LR250 (PROFIBUS PA)

14 Operating Instructions, 01/2014, A5E32221386-AB

3.2

Programming

This device is very easy to install and configure via a graphical local user interface (LUI). You

can modify the built in parameters either locally via the Siemens infrared handheld programmer,

or from a remote location using one of the following options:

● SIMATIC PDM

● FDT/DTM platform (such as PACTware™ or FieldCare)

3.3

Applications

● liquids and slurries

● bulk storage vessels

● simple process vessels

3.4

Approvals and certificates

Note

For further details see

Approvals (Page 174).

SITRANS LR250 is available with General Purpose approval, or for hazardous areas. In all

cases, check the nameplate on your device, and confirm the approval rating.

Process Connections

A wide range of process connections and antenna options are available to suit virtually any

vessel configuration.
