SITRANS LR560
SITRANS LR560 Overview
SITRANS LR560 is a 2-wire, 78 GHz FMCW radar level transmitter for continuous
monitoring of solids in vessels to a range of 100 m (329 ft). The plug and play performance
is ideal for all solids applications, including those with extreme dust and high
temperatures to +200 °C (+392 °F). The device is an electronic circuit coupled to a lens
antenna and flange for quick and easy positioning.
The main benefits of using 78 GHz over devices using lower frequency are:
• very narrow beam, so device is insensitive to mounting nozzle interference and
vessel obstructions.
• short wavelength yields very good reflection properties on sloped solids, so aiming
towards material angle of repose is usually not necessary.
The technology is very tolerant to buildup on the lens antenna, however an air purge inlet
is provided for periodic cleaning if required.
SITRANS LR560 supports HART communication protocol, and SIMATIC PDM software.
Signals are processed using Process Intelligence which has been field-proven in over
1,000,000 applications worldwide (ultrasonic and radar).
Programming
SITRANS LR560 is very easy to install and configure via an optional graphical local
display interface. You can modify the built-in parameters either locally via the push
buttons or using the infra-red handheld programmer, or from a remote location using one
of the following options:
• HART (using 375 handheld Field Communicator, SIMATIC PDM, AMS, Pactware FDT/
DTM)
• PROFIBUS PA (using SIMATIC PDM, FDT [such as PACTware or Fieldcare]) (See
SITRANS LR560 (PROFIBUS PA) Instruction Manual for more information.)
• Foundation Fieldbus FF (using handheld 375 Field Communicator, FF host system or
AMS Device Manager) [See SITRANS LR560 (Foundation Fieldbus) Instruction
Manual for more information.]
Once programmed, the graphic Local Display Interface (LDI) can be removed if desired
and used to transfer parameters to multiple SITRANS LR560s.
