SITRANS LR560 (FF)

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 consists of 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 of buildup on the lens antenna, however an air purge inlet

is provided for periodic cleaning if required.

SITRANS LR560 supports Foundation Fieldbus communication protocol, and AMS Device

Manager software. Signals are processed using Process Intelligence which has been

field-proven in over 1,000,000 applications worldwide (ultrasonic and radar). This device

can be configured as an FF (H1) Link Master.

Programming

SITRANS LR560 is very easy to install and configure via an optional graphical local

display interface (LDI). You can modify the built-in parameters either locally, using the

control buttons or the infrared handheld programmer, or from a remote location using one

of the following options:

• PROFIBUS PA [using SIMATIC PDM, or FDT (such as PACTware). See SITRANS

LR560 (PROFIBUS PA) Instruction Manual for more information.]

• HART [using handheld 375 Field Communicator, SIMATIC PDM, AMS, or FDT (such

as PACTware). See SITRANS LR560 (mA/HART) Instruction Manual for more

information.]

• Foundation Fieldbus (FF) [using handheld 375 Field Communicator, an FF host

system, or AMS].

Once programmed, the graphic Local Display Interface (LDI) can be removed if desired

and used to transfer parameters to multiple SITRANS LR560s.
