Measuring Principle
An ultrasonic emitter (sensor) mounted above the product is electrically excited and
directs an ultrasonic pulse through the air towards the product. This pulse is reflected
back from the surface of the product. The echoes partially reflected are detected by the
same sensor, now acting as a receiver, and converted back into an electrical signal.
The time taken between transmission and reception of the pulse the run time is directly
proportional to the distance between the sensor and the product surface. The distance
D is determined from the velocity of sound c and the run time t by the formula:
t
D=c

With a velocity of sound (in air under normal conditions) c = 340 m/s, a run time of

10 ms corresponds to a transmission path of 3.4 m and thus to a distance of 1.7 m.

The measurement is independent of
product characteristics such as specific weight, conductivity, viscosity and
dielectric constant.
temperature changes within the tank or basin: The Prosonic FMU compensates for
variations in temperature as the integrated sensor for temperature also provides
temperature information.

Measuring range and
blocking distance
Note!
12

The maximum measuring range of the measuring system dependent on the sensor used
and is up to 5 m in liquids and up to 70 m in bulk solids (see also Technical Data
pages 2627). Due to the ringing time characteristics of the sensor, there is a zone
immediately below it from which returning echoes cannot be detected. This is known as
the blocking distance BD and determines the minimum distance between the sensor
diaphragm and the maximum level in the silo. This is a function of the type of sensor
used.
The end of the measuring range is determined by the attenuation of the ultrasonic pulse
by the air as well as by the strength of the reflection from the product surface.
Note!
Please note when mounting: Levels coming within the blocking distance can cause the
instrument to malfunction.

Electrical connections
Connecting the DXR 275 HART handheld terminal
Technical data
Warning:
The Prosonic FMU transmitter must be installed outside the explosion hazardous
area.
When installing ultrasonic sensors in explosion hazardous areas, it is imperative to
pay attention to the instructions on the certificate and local rules for installation.
Caution:
For mounting the separate operating units or the mounting plate with electronics
remember that: Electrostatic discharges can lead to faulty operation or damage to
the electronic components. Touch an earthed object before handling the board.
Note:
The basic prerequisite for correct ultrasonic measurement is correct installation of the
ultrasonic sensor. Notes on installation can be found in Technical Information
TI 189F/00/en.
2.1
Caution!
Note!
Mounting the Prosonic FMU
There are three ways of mounting the Prosonic FMU:

In a protective housing (IP 66)
for wall or post mounting in the field or control room
In a separate operating unit for control panel mounting, when the board with
the transmitter electronics can be mounted separately.
In a separate operating unit for mounting in a rack, when the board with the
transmitter electronics can be mounted separately.
The separate transmitter electronics is mounted
in an IP 40 plastic housing or
on an IP 10 mounting plate for control panel mounting
Notes:
Mount the protective housing in a shaded area. If strong sunlight is expected, then it
is advisable to fit an all-weather protective cover (obtainable as accessory).
Overvoltage protection.
An overvoltage protection unit in an IP 66 protective housing is recommended to
protect the transmitter from voltage peaks especially when mounted in the open.

An external temperature sensor can be connected to the Prosonic transmitter. This is

necessary if the sensor is heated (with the FDU 80 or FDU 81 only as required) or if the
temperature is not to be measured inside the sensor.

Sensor connection

Switch off the transmitter power supply before connecting up a sensor.
Check that the power supply for the instrument agrees with that on the nameplate.
The sensors are supplied with a permanently attached cable (up to 30 m, cable diameter
0.75 mm2). They can be connected as follows:
Directly in the FMU connection area;
the terminals are for cable diameters up to 2.5 mm2
Using a terminal box;
Use cable boxes with cable lengths up to 300 m
If terminal boxes are to be installed in explosion hazardous areas, then all local
regulations governing installation are to be observed.
A two-core cable with fully braided shield is to be used for connecting the sensor and
electronics (shield: metal braiding max. 6 ).
Cable specifications (per core): max. 6 , max. 60 nF total capacitance
Caution The fully braided shield serves as a return cable. Do not ground the shield
and lay to the transmitter without any electrical break.
FDU 83, 84, 85, 86: do not lay the potential compensation cable within the shield.
If more sensor cables are laid parallel, then the appropriate Prosonic FMU transmitters
must be synchronised (see also Synchronizing connection page 22).

The sensor cable can be shortened at a later date. Please note:

Do not damage the cores when removing the insulation.
The cable is shielded by metallic braiding. This shielding serves as a return cable and
corresponds to the black wire of the unshortened cable.
Loosen the metallic braiding, twist it together securely and connect it to terminal 80
(Channel 1) or terminal 90 (Channel 2) (Fig. 2.12).
If a potential compensation cable is laid with the cable (colour code YE-GN), then it is
not to be electrically connected to the shielding.
The sensors are connected as shown in Fig. 2.11.

Synchronization line

In order to avoid cross-talk between parallel routed sensor lines connect the transmitters
(max. 20) to a synchronisation line. The sensors are then scanned in sequence. If more
devices are present, groups of 20 transmitters should be used. The cables within one
group can be in parallel. The cables of different groups must be separated. Common
screened cable can be used.

The Prosonic transmitter can be configured and addressed for operational status using
a DXR 275 HART handheld terminal if a HART interface is available for it. In this case a
plug-in module extends the function of the first current output, making it an interface with
serial data transmission on the 0/4...20 mA signal line. Units connected to the current
output are entirely unaffected by this digital signal. The plug-in module can be retrofitted.
The handheld terminal is connected on site either to current output 1 (Terminals 4
and 5) or in the control room to the communication resistor (see Fig. 2.15)

Prosonic Operating Matrix
All functions including the analogue outputs and relay switch points are configured via
the operating matrix. Fig. 3.1 shows a part of the display and its relationship to the
operating matrix of the Prosonic FMU:
Each field in the matrix is accessed by a vertical (V) and horizontal (H)
position which can be entered using the keys on the Prosonic or the handheld

The operating matrix is given at the back of this manual. A folded copy of the operating
matrix is also found in the cover of the field housing.

The display has 4 1/2 characters to indicate the value of the parameter, the matrix field
V and H as well as other display symbols.
Display symbols
A bar chart shows the signal current in 10% steps.

If the entire bar chart is lit and the triangle to the right is also lit, then the current
signal is larger than 20 mA (signal is exceeded). If the entire bar chart is not lit and
the triangle on the left is lit, then the current a function of the current range
selected is smaller than 4 mA or 0 mA (signal underflow)
If the symbol for error indication is lit, then a fault has occurred. If the symbol flashes
then the Prosonic FMU is indicating a warning and tries to continue measuring.
Further information on error responses are described in Section 9.
If the communications symbol is lit, the Prosonic is being operated via the HART
Communicator DXR 275.

Level, Difference, Average Value
This chapter deals with the basic settings necessary to enable the Prosonic FMU to
operate with the ultrasonic sensor and for you to obtain an indicated measurand rapidly:
for level measurement or

Setting is carried out in three steps:
Basic settings
Basic adjustment and
Linearization, only necessary for special applications.
Note!
Note the settings
Note!
As long as the basic settings have not been concluded, the Prosonic FMU emits a
warning message.
For FMU 862 we recommend that, after the basic settings, channel 1 should first be
adjusted and linearized, then channel 2.
The matrix positions for channel 2 are on the right of the step-for-step entries.
Setting of the analog outputs and the relays is described in chapters 6 and 7.
When all parameters have been entered, the matrix can be locked
(see chapter 8).
After locking, all entries can be displayed, but not altered.
When entering the parameters the values entered can be noted in the table on page 111.

Linearization
In tanks and vessels in which the volume is not directly proportional to the level, a level
measurement is converted into a volume measurement by linearization. The parameters
of linearization are entered in matrix line V2 for channel 1 and line V5 for channel 2. The
types of linearization, horizontal, cylindrical tank and tank with conical outlet, are
described in sections 4.3 and 4.4.
The following linearizations can be selected in V2H0:
0 = linear (default)
1 = horizontal cylindrical
3 = manual entry
4 = automatic entry
5 = delete
After linearization
After linearization
In V0H0 the volume in the tank or silo can be read (V4H0 for channel 2).
In V0H9 the level can be read (V4H9 for channel 2).
The switching points of the relays must be set in accordance with the volume
units.
Analogue outputs: confisure the analogue outputs accordingly.
Two important rules for linearization must be observed:
Linearization zero
The level entries for linearization and the level entry for the empty adjustment
must both refer to the same zero point.
Units of measurement:
For all level entries the numerical values must always refer to the same unit of
length, as defined in V8H3.
Also for all volume entries the numerical values entered must always refer to
the same dimensional unit. For example, all values entered for volume must
be in litres, hl or other unit.
Caution!

Caution!
When manual entries are made, always delete the old linearization (V2H0=5), before
entering new points.

two (or last two) points.

Linearization for Vessels of Any Shape
The linearization modes manual and semiautomatic are set to measure the volume
of vessels which are not horizontal cylinders. A widespread example of such vessels is
a tank with conical outlet. To measure the volume in such vessels the Prosonic FMU
utilizes a table, in which the volume is stored for several levels. This table can be entered
by hand.

when the level/volume ratio is known Linearization mode Manual:
All pairs of values (volume/level) are entered from an existing table or a curve
supplied by the tank manufacturer.
when the level/volume ratio is unknown: filling the tank with known amount of
liquids.
Automatic linearization mode
The following procedure has to be repeated several times: The tank is filled
and the volume is measured (e.g. with a flow measuring unit). The measurand
for the volume is entered in V2H4. The associated level is registered
automatically. This procedure is repeated several times with different
quantities, where possible uniformly spread over the whole range from empty
to full vessel.
42
Endress+Hauser
Note!
It is reasonable to enter at least three points.
With the first pair of values the smallest volume to be measured and the
corresponding level should be entered.
With the last pair of values the largest volume to be measured and the
corresponding level should be entered.
The more pairs of values you enter, the more exact is linearization. You can enter a
maximum of 32 pairs of values.
Having activated linearization, the points are sorted according to rising level and
subjected to a plausibility check.
After entering the point number the assigned pair of values, level and flow, can be
displayed.

Calling Up a Q/h Curve

The calculation performed by the Prosonic FMU converts the level measurement in the
flume into a flow measurement. For this conversion a Q/h curve is needed.
These characteristics are memorised for the weirs or flumes and the right one has to
be activated by specifying a characteristic number. All available characteristics can
be found in Appendix A.
If the characteristic of your channel is not listed, the characteristic can be entered
from a table drawn up by the manufacturer of the weir or flume.

flowrate (default value in VoH6: 100 m3/h). The preset Q/h curves (see Appendix A)
always have the flow unit m3/h.
If you afterwards alter the flow units, the analogue output (see chapter 6) and the relays
with the function Limit value must be set afresh (see chapter 7).

be altered accordingly.
Note!
Entering a Q/h Curve

For flumes and weirs whose Q/h characteristic cannot be called up by means of a code,
the manual method of linearization is used. The characteristics are entered at up to
32 points as pairs of values (water-level | rate of flow) for each point.
The pairs of values in this table can be entered from a table or curve supplied by the
manufacturer of the flume or weir.
Two important rules must be observed for the entries:
Linearization zero point:
The entries relating to the level for linearization and entry for empty
adjustment must both refer to the same zero point.
Units of measurement
For all level entries the numerical values must always refer to the same unit of
length, as defined in V8H3.
Also for all flow data the numerical values entered must refer to the same unit
as defined in V8H4.

Setting the Totalizers
The Prosonic FMU possesses a software totalizer and an optional totalizer unit to
determine the rate of flow. The totalizers switch in terms of
the voluminar flow
the counting unit (V8H5) and
the counting factors.
The software totalizer and the optional totalizer unit are influenced by the adjustable low
flow cut off in V2H8. Only the software totalizer can be reset. The first four figures of the
eight digit software counter are shown by V8H8, the last four by V8H9. External totalizer
can be controlled by the relays (see chapter 7.4).
Note!
When connecting an external totaliser, please note:
The maximum counting frequency of the Prosonic FMU 86_ is 2 Hz, the pulse width is
200 msec. To ensure that all counting pulses are fully picked up, the counting frequency
of the external totaliser must be adjusted to these values.
Note!
We write:
Total volume = Total number of counting pulses x counting factor x counting unit

Flow Measurement and Back Water Alarm (Only after

Selecting Operating Mode V8H0: 9 Back Water Alarm)
Process faults may occur in the flow in channels and weirs and result in back water which
can determined and regulated. The size of the back water is the ratio h2 (downstream
water) to h1 (head water), which can be given in V5H8 (in %).
In a Venturi channel, the flowrate is measured at its optimum, if the ratio h2
(downstream water) to h1 (head water) does not exceed the factor 0.8=80%.
With h2/h1 values larger than 0.8 (and Q larger than Qmax), the quantity of flow
moves continually towards zero. An alarm can also be selected which is activated
when the critical ratio is exceeded.
Note on setting the current output on alarm!
Do not select the value 10 % for channel 1 (V3H4) and +110 % for channel 2
(V6H4): this causes the critical ratio h2/h1 to be exceeded on alarm, and the flow
trends to zero
With flowrates up to 0.8, Qmax is measured without a correction. An alarm is only
activated if the ratio h2/h1 is larger than the value in V5H8

Analogue Output
This chapter describes the setting of the analogue output. The Prosonic FMU 860 or 861

With the two-channel unit FMU 862 the changeover from 4...20 mA to 0...20 mA applies
to both current outputs.
The current output for channel 1 is controlled by the measurand of channel 1 in field
V0H0 or the current output for channel 2 in V4H0.
When measuring the difference or average, channel 1 shows the unchanged measurand
of the sensor. Channel 2 shows the value calculated.

Chapter 7: Relays
Relays
This chapter describes the setting of the relays and typical applications. The Prosonic
FMU 86... has either three or five relays with potential-free changeover contacts. Each
relay operates independently. One relay can be assigned different functions. The relay
switches according to the function with its settings and an optional external limit switch
(see next page).
Note!
A yellow LED is allocated to each relay, which indicates its status:
The LED of the relay lights up when the relay energises.
The LED of the relay for fault indication lights during normal operation.
The LED of a relay for counting pulses briefly flashes at every counting pulse
(maximum pulse rate of the relay 1 Hz).

The available functions can be assigned to any of the relays.

Each relay is assigned a number which has to be selected before entering the relay
function.
If only three relays are installed, the relay outputs 1, 2 and 5 are occupied.
The Prosonic FMU with RS 485 or PROFIBUS-DP interface has relay outputs 3, 4
and 5 assigned.
Relay 5 has the alarm indication function preset. The LED belonging to it lights up
when operation is free from fault. Any other function can be assigned to this relay.
If all the relays are used for pump control, alarms can be recorded by means of the
0/420 mA signal as a 10 or +110% signal. In this case the installation of separate
means of protection against overflow or running dry is recommended.
The setting of a relay always begins with the following procedure:

A relay is selected by entering a number in V1H0 and confirming the selection with
E.
A relay function is selected by entering a number in V1H1 and confirming with E.
(for FMU 862: A relay function which concerns only channel 1 or channel 2 has its
own number for each channel.)

The setting of the external limit switch acts on all the relays. Depending upon the position

Where possible, a warning message does not influence the switching of the external limit
switch. If the external limit switch switches during an alarm condition in the Prosonic, the
relays respond accordingly and the analogue outputs respond according to the settings

Chapter 7: Relays
Relay Function Limit
The relay function Limit is used to monitor or control a level limit.

The relay switches according to the measurand in V0H0 and is governed by the switch-on
and switch-off point of the relay which, for instance, can be entered as % level (V0H0
applies to channel 1; for FMU 862 the relays for channel 2 switch in terms of the
measurand in V4H0). Fig. 7.1 shows the functions.
Depending on the application, it may be important for the switch-on point to be higher
than the switch-off point, or vice versa. In the event of a fault in particular it must be
assured that the alarm response of the Prosonic FMU conforms to the control task (see
under "Behaviour in the event of a alarm").
Two additional settings allow that the switching behaviour of the relay to be modified:
Alternating pump control (in V1H4: off, on) and delayed switching (in V1H9: time in
seconds).

Typical Applications
The size of the switching range, i.e. the difference between the switch-on and switch-off
points, is defined in accordance with the control task.
A relay operates as limit switch when the switching range is small or
A relay operates as two point-control when the switching range is large
(Fig.7.2).
If the relay is to operate as limit switch, the switching range is small, i.e. the switch-on
and switch-off points are close together. The difference between the switch-on point and
the switch-off point should be at least 1%
If the switch-on point is higher than the switch-off point the relay energises when the
switch-on point is exceeded. A level just below the switch-on point is then given as
switch-off point. When this level is reached, the relay de-energises at once.

Alternating Pump Control

If several limit relays are used for controlling pumps, it is often practical to ensure that
the pumps are equally loaded. Here the additional function "Alternating pump control"
can be helpful (V1H4) and can be realized for one channel.
If two relays possess the additional function "Alternating pump control", relay 1 switches
on and off during the following repetitive level cycle, during the next cycle relay 2 switches
on and off. The level rises until the first switch-on point is exceeded, and then drops until
the first switch-off point is underrun.
One relay with the additional function "Alternating pump control" also switches in terms
of the switch-on point of another alternating relay. If a switch-on point is exceeded, the
relay nearest in the alternating row operates. If the function "Alternating pump control" is
switched on for relays 1, 2 and 5, these relays operate in the order 1-2-5-1-2-5-1-2-5-. . .
The same applies to the switch-off points. If the level drops, the pumps are switched off
in the order in which they were switched on.
To control the water level 3 relays are to be connected in a row. If the water level rises,
the emptying pumps switch on one after the other until all pumps are running at maximum
level. If the level drops, the pumps are switched off in the order in which they were
switched on. The relays have the following switching points:

Note!
"Alternating pump control" can, of course, only be effective when two or more limit
relays in the same channel possess this function.
The ranges with the switch-on and switch-off points may overlap, e.g. range 1
switch-on at 80%, switch-off at 30%, range 2 switch-on at 60%, switch-off and 20%.
Where two pumps in the same range are to operate alternately, their switch-on and
switch-off points are identical. This switching response can be achieved by
assigning switch points to the second relay which can never be reached.
Example: in the switching range between 60% and 40%, two pumps should be
operated alternately, i.e. when pump 1 is running, pump 2 is switched off and vice
versa. The relays are programmed as follows:
Relay 1 Switch-on point 60%, switch-off point 40%;
Relay 2 Switch-on point e.g. 160%, switch-off point e.g. 120%.
If all the relays are employed for pump control, alarms denoted by the 0/420 mA
signal may be registered as 10 or +110 % signals. The installation of a separate
means of protection against overflow or running dry is then recommended.
With "Alternating pump control" a switching delay of 0...100 s can be set in V1H9
(default = 1 s).
Endress+Hauser
Chapter 7: Relays
To prevent the load becoming too heavy when two or more connected units (e.g. pumps)
are switched simultaneously, a switching delay can be set. This delay then applies to all
relays with the function "Alternating pump control" (with FMU 862 for channel 1 and
channel 2).
Switching delay
Function
If two relays ought to operate at the same level, the relay with the lower number operates
at once, followed after a delay by the one with the higher number, i.e. the delay entered
in V1H9 (default = 1 s).
If even a third relay ought to operate at the same level, the relay with the highest number
is delayed by twice the time entered in V1H9.

Relay Function Alarm Relay
The function of the alarm relay is to signal disturbances, e.g. with the aid of external
warning lamps, horns or other connected devices.
The relay is switched in accordance with the behaviour of the Prosonic FMU in the event
of a alarm. The response in the absence of an echo can be set separately.
A comprehensive description of the behaviour can be found in Chapter 9. Supplementary
settings to the switching behaviour of the relay are not necessary.
The LED of an alarm indicating relay is alight when operation is free from fault,
during which time the relay is energized.
The fifth relay is preset for the function Alarm relay. The associated LED lights up
when operation is free from fault. Any other relay function can be assigned to the
fifth relay.
For external indication of alarms warning or indicator lamps must be connected to
the normally closed contact of the alarm relay.

The function of the tendency relay is to monitor or control the periodic differences in

if the measurand in V0H0 drops by 1% of the maximum flowrate or level within one minute.
The maximum flowrate is set by the chosen or entered Q/h curve. The maximum level is
the linearised end value or the 100% level. Switching of the relay is done together with
the switch-on point and switch-off point of the tendency.
Switch-on point greater

The relay energizes when the tendency exceeds the switch-on point and de-energizes
when the tendency drops below the switch-off point.

Relay Function Counting Pulses
When the relay has the function Counting pulses it switches in accordance with
The volume flowing
The counting unit (V8H5) and
Which of the three relay functions Counting pulses 1, Counting pulses 2
or Counting pulses 3 is selected. (To each of these relay functions a fixed
counting factor of its own is assigned in V1H5, V1H6 or V1H7). The counting
pulses are used, for instance, to actuate external counters or for controlling
samplers as a function of the rate of flow.
Note!
When connecting an external totaliser, please note:
The maximum counting frequency of the Prosonic FMU 86_ is 2 Hz, the pulse width is
200 msec. To ensure that all counting pulses are fully picked up, the counting frequency
of the external totaliser must be adjusted to the these values.
Note!
Three supplementary settings influence volume determination:

Low flow cut off in V2H8
Switch-on point in V1H2 and
switch-off point in V1H3 for the counting pulses.
Note!
In the event of an error the counting pulses are interrupted.
Note!
The transmitter measures the level and with the aid of the Q/h curve of the channel
computes the exact flow or the momentary rate of voluminar flow per unit time. If the
maximum flowrate Qmax of the channel curve characteristic exceeds the actual flowrate,
then you can enter your value in V2H7. All other entries for Qmax are then a function of
this value. For short periods the volume flowing can be determined by multiplying the
current rate of flow by the time interval. The total volume over a long period is calculated
by the Prosonic FMU by totalling the partial volumes during this period (i.e. in
mathematical terms: the flow is integrated with respect to time).
Volume measurement
A relay energises briefly and emits a counting pulse when two conditions are satisfied:
The total of the partial volumes flown through corresponds to the size range of the
selected totaliser units.
The counting factor is selected so that the counting pulse rate is slower than 2
counting pulses per second at maximum flow.
Counting pulse
The following applies:

Total volume = Total number of pulses counted x counting factor x counting unit
The set counting unit (V8H5) applies to all counting factors.

Any counting factor can be entered in the matrix field V1H5, V1H6 and V1H7
corresponding to the counting mode. If a maximum value of 19999 is exceeded (e.g.
after selecting a new Q/h curve), or the counting pulse rate is larger than 2 pulses per
second with maximum flowrate, then the Prosonic counting factors are automatically
adjusted. A warning message E 620 is displayed and the counting factors in V1H5 and
V1H6 and V1H7 can be calculated and confirmed. If no correction using the selected

For certain measuring tasks it is not desirable to determine every flow rate. Instead, the
flow rates shall be totalled in terms of the current flow rate, e.g. measurement of
floodwater. The volume count is only active as long as the flowrate is greater than the
switch-on point but less than the switch-off point. The volume of the total flow is
determined during this time. Provided that the switch-off point is selected as 111 %, the
volume count is continued even when the switch-off point is exceeded.
Note!
The switch-on and switch-off points are always entered as a percentage of the
maximum flow.
The switch-on point must always be lower than the switch-off point.
The settings are for 0% switch-on point and 110 % switch-off point. If the flowrate
exeeds the switch-off point or drops below the switch-on point, then the counting

Two Types of Fault: Alarms and Warnings
The transmitter continuously monitors the operational function of the measuring line. If it
recognises a fault, then it responds with the following:
the LED on the front panel flashes
symbols are shown on the display
an error code is given in field V9H0 and
the analogue outputs assume their preprogrammed values and
connected units are deactivated by the programmed relay.
With serious faults, the status is shown as an alarm. All other faults are indicated as
warnings (e.g. simple operating error).
No further measurement are made with a fault indication. Further measurements are
always attempted with a warning but measuring errors cannot be ruled out.
Alarm
If the Prosonic FMU detects an alarm, i.e. a functional fault by which no further
measurement is possible, then the following takes place:
Alarm
All yellow LEDs flash.

The alarm relay de-activates.
The symbol for status message
appears on the display
(see section 7).
The analogue signal reverts to the status selected
(either 10% or +110% of the current span or the last measured value (hold),
see section 6).
The limit value relays react according to the size of the analogue signal
(see section 7).
If other relay functions are available then these also apply:
- The tendency relay maintain their switching position (see section 7).
- Count pulse relays de-energise. As long as the fault remains, then no
counting pulses are sent.
- Interval timer relays remain unaffected and switch
if the function allows after a given time for the time pulse.
The diagnostic message on the source of the fault is shown in filed V9H0.
Explanation of error codes is given in table 9.1.

Warning
Warning
If the Prosonic FMU detects a simple operating error or a fault which still allows
measurement to be carried out, then it activates a warning. As long as the warning
remains, then the measuring signal may be subject to significant measuring errors giving
rise to the following responses:
The green LED flashes.
The alarm relay remains energised with all other relays remaining
unaffected.
The symbol for status indication flashes on the display.
The poutput signal can e.g. together with input errors be subject to
significant measurement errors.
The diagnostic message on the source of the fault is shown in field V9H0.
Explanation of error codes is given in Table 9.1.
Selectable warnings
when no echo is
detected
Special Case: Trouble-Shooting on Lost Echo
In two special measuring situations when the signal/noise ratio is too small or the echo
attenuation is too large the response of the alarm relay can be set.
The fault handling of a non-existent echo is selected by entering a number in field V3H3
(Field V6H3 with a two-channel unit).
0 = Warning (default value), the last measured value is retained.
1 = Alarm.
A non-existent echo is to be treated as an alarm

Fault Analysis
For analysing faults it is important to know,

what fault has occured
whether other faults have occured
whtether a short-term fault has occurred but which no longer exists (e.g. too
high temperature at the sensor for a brief period of time) and also
which fault was last corrected.
Because:
There are faults which are corrected immediately and others which can only
be corrected by Endress+Hauser Service engineers.
A fault can have more than one source at the same time.
Correcting one fault can cause a new and additional fault to occur.
The Prosonic FMU provides you with the following information to carry out fault analysis.
Fault indications
Prosonic FMU
To indicate the source of the fault, the most important fault is shown in field
V9H0.
A fault is assigned a priority in the factory, i.e. if a fault of low priority exists
and then one with a higher priority occurs, then the fault with the higher
priority will be displayed in field V9H0 (see Table 9.1).
Pressing the + key shows other faults which may be present.
The previously corrected fault is shown in field V9H1. Pressing the E key
clears this display (the last but one fault code is also cleared, for applications
see below).
The last but one fault is shown in field V9H2. Pressing the E key clears this
display (the previously corrected fault is also cleared).
Example of using previous fault V9H1

Was the transmitter or sensor always fully operational? For example: was the sensor
temperature always within the permissible range? The error code E661 is shown in V9H1,
if the temperature range was exceeded. If the Prosonic FMU was correctly set in
operation (instrument reset with commissioning and the display in V9H1 cleared, see
Section 8) and was always fully operational, then no fault code should appear in the field
last but one fault.
If no fault is shown in field V9H1, then the ultrasonic sensor and the transmitter were
always fully operational from that point since the last reset.

9.3
Suppression of Interference Signals
There are two kinds of interference signals.

Fixed internal structures intrude too far into the measuring zone of the
ultrasonic sensor and reflect the ultrasonic echo. The fixed target suppression
facility can be used in every operating mode.
Specific periodic interference echoes occur, e.g. from agitator blades.
Envelope curve statistics may be used.

Working echo from

Signal
Zeit
Interference echoes, e.g. those coming from internal structures inside the vessel, can
be suppressed using the fixed target suppression mode. The prerequisite for this is that
the working echo is to be stronger than the interference echo at any level: This is the
case when internal structures are found at the edge of the detection zone of the ultrasonic
sensor. Fixed target suppression is used
when measuring level after selecting the application
when measuring flow after selecting the operating mode.

BA100D07
All echo signals received by the sensor are temporarily stored in the transmitter. This
procedure enables a statistical analysis to be carried out with regard to amplitude and
run time of all signals received. Sporadic interference signals, e.g. from agitator blades
or from filling curtains can be suppressed by selecting the appropriate filter factor.
This filter factor is freely selectable between 1 and 100. If the instrument has to determine
very quick changes in level, then a low filter factor should be entered. With slow changes
in level, a higher filter factor should be chosen resulting in a higher degree of interference
immunity.

Exchanging the Prosonic FMU or a Sensor
If the Prosonic FMU has to be exchanged, then you can key in the parameters you have
noted and continue to measure without recalibrating.
Transmitter
If parameters have to be in a given sequence when cinfiguring, e.g.

linearisation, then they must also be entered in the same order.
If a sensor has to be exchanged, then it is recommended that the Prosonic is checked
for correct functioning. This is especially so in cases where fixed target suppression is
carried out.
Refer to Section 9.2, Fault analysis.

Sensor
Repairs
If an ultrasonic sensor or a Prosonic FMU has to be sent in to Endress+Hauser for repair,

then please enclose a note containing the following information:
An exact description of the application for which it was used.
A brief description of the error.
The chemical and physical properties of the product.
Special precautions must be observed when sending in a sensor for repair:

Remove all visible traces of product from the probe.
This is especially important if the product can impair health, e.g. corrosive,
poisonous, carcinogenic, radioactive, etc.
Please do not send the probe for repair if the last traces of dangerous
products cannot be removed, e.g. product has penetrated into fissures or
diffused into plastic parts.

Application
PROFIBUS-DP is used primarily for factory automation. In PROFIBUS-PA systems for

process automation, a PROFIBUS-DP system is used at the control level for quick transmission of the data. Here, a variant of PROFIBUS-DP, DPV1 is used. In addition to the
cyclic exchange of data with a PLC, this allows the field devices to be configured via
acyclic services. The principle technical data for DPV1 are listed in Table 2.1.

Technical data PROFIBUS-DP
Depending upon the application at hand, the participants in a PROFIBUS-DP system

might be frequency converters, remote I/Os, actuators, sensors, links, gateways etc. as
well as the PLC or process control system.
97
11.1.2 Topology
PROFIBUS-DP is based on a linear topology. For lower data transmission rates, a tree
structure is also possible.
Cable
EN 50 170 specifies two types of bus cable. For transmission rates up to 12Mbit/s, cable
type A is recommended. The specification is given in Table 2.2
Terminator
135 to 165 at a measuring frequency of 3 MHz to 20 MHz
Cable capacitance
< 30pF per Meter
Core cross-section
>0.34 mm, corresponds to AWG 22
Cable type
twisted pairs, 1x 2, 2x 2 or 1x4 core
Loop resistance
110 per km
Signal attenuation
max. 9 dB over the entire length of the segment
Screening
woven copper sheath or woven sheath and foil sheath
Tab. 2.2
Structure
Specification of Cable type A of the PROFIBUS-DP standard
The following points should be noted when the bus structure is being planned:
The max. permissible cable length depends upon the transmission rate. For PROFIBUS RS-485 cable of type A (see table 2.2) the dependency is as follows:
Transmission rate(kBit/s)
19,2 - 93,75
187,5
500
1500
Cable length(m)
1200
1000
400
200
The maximum transmission rate is limited by the slowest instrument on the bus. The
maximum rate of the Prosonic FMU is 1.5 Mbit/s. The FMU recognizes the rate present
on the bus and adjusts its own rate automatically.
A maximum of 32 participants per segment is allowed.
A terminating resistance must be installed at both ends of every segment
(ohmic load 220 ).
The cable length and/or the number of participants can be increased by using repeaters.
There must never be more than three repeaters between any two participants
The total number of participants in the system is limited to 126 - (2x number of repeaters).
Spurs
A spur is the cable connecting the field device to the T-box. As a rule of thumb:
For transmission rates up to 1500 kbits/s, the total length (sum) ot the spurs may not
exceed 6.6 m.
Spurs should not be used for transmission rates greater than 1500 kbits/s.
Examples
Figs. 2.2 and 2.3 show examples for a linear and tree bus structure.
Fig. 2.2. shows that three repeaters are necessary if the PROFIBUS-DP system is to be
developed to the full. The maximum cable length corresponds to 4x the value quoted in
the table above. Since three repeaters are used, the maximum number of participants
is reduced to 120.
Fig. 2.3. shows how several repeaters can be used to create a tree structure. The number of participants allowable per segment is reduced by one per repeater: the total number of participants is limited to 126 - (2x number of repeaters).

Optical network
If the PROFIBUS-DP system has to be routed over large distances or in a plant with
heavy electromagnetic interference, then an optical or mixed optical/copper network
can be used. Provided that all participants support them, very high transmission rates
are possible. Fig. 2.4 shows a possible structure for an optical network, whereby the
technical details can be taken from the PROFIBUS standard.

11.2 Address, Termination

Selecting the device address
Every PROFIBUS-DP device must be given an address. If the address is not set
correctly, the device will not be recognised by the process control system.
A device address may appear only once within a particular PROFIBUS-DP network,
see BA 198F.
Valid device addresses are in the range from 1 to 126.
Address
Setting of the device address

1. Open the protective cover.
2. Loosen the four cross-head screws of the operating plate.
3. Open the operating plate
4. Set the bus addres according to the table below.
5. Close operating plate and tighten screws.
6. Close the protective cover.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
CLOSED
OPEN
1 23 45678
8 + 2 = 10
The address is determined by the position of the DIP-switches 1 to 7 according to the

following table:
Endress+Hauser
Switch No.
Value in position "CLOSED"
Value in position "OPEN

32
64
Note!
The new address becomes valid at a restart of the Prosonic (power on). For the Prosonic, DIP-switch 8 ist without function.
101
Termination
At the last instrument on the bus, a terminating resistance must be switched on at DIPswitch SW 2: OFF, ON, ON, OFF.
Optionally, the bus power can be supplied by this instrument: ON, ON, ON, ON.
At the remaining instruments the terminating resistance must be switche off: OFF, OFF,
OFF, OFF.

11.3 Device database and type files

A device database file (*.gsd) contains a description of the properties of the
PROFIBUS-DP device, e.g. the supported transmission rates and the type and format
of the digital information that can be transfered to the PLC.
Additional bitmap files are required in order to represent the device by an icon in the
network design software.
Every device is allocated an identity code by the PROFIBUS User Organisation (PNO).
This appears in the device data base file name (.gsd). The Prosonic has the ID number
152E.

Internet: www.endress.com
CD-ROM with GSD files for all E+H devices. Order-Code: 50097200
GSD library of the PROFIBUS User Organisation (PNO):http: //www.PROFIBUS.com
Directory structure
The files are oranized in the folowing strucutre:

Extended/Eh3x152E.gsd
Standard/Eh3_152E.gsd
Typdat5x/Eh3152Ex.200
Info/
Liesmich.pdf
Readme.pdf
The GSD files in the directory "Extended" are needed for the network design software
STEP 7 of the S7-300/400 PLC family.
The GSD files in the directory "Standard" are used for PLCs, which do not support an
identifier format but only an identifier byte (e.g. PLC5 of Allen-Bradley)
For the network design tool COM ET200 with Siemens S5 instead of an GSD file the
Type file "EH_1522x.200" and instead of the BMP files the DIB files have to be used.
Universal Database File
Endress+Hauser
The PNO also provides an universal database file with the designation PA139701.gsd
for devices with two analogue input blocks. Should this be used instead of the Prosonic
GSD, then only the two main values can be transmitted. The counter can not be
transmitted.
If the universal profile is used, the option "profiles" must be selected in the Physical
Block at the matrix position V0H4 (Ident number).

The flow counter is provided by FMU 861/862 only.
Modules for the cyclic

data telegram
For the cyclic data telegram the Prosonic provides the following modules:
1. Analog Input
Depending on the configuration (see below) this is main value 1 (V0H0) or
main value 2 (V4H0). Before they are sent to the PLC these values may be scaled in
the respective Analog Input Block.
2. Counter
This flow counter is composed of the matrix fields V8H8 (counter high) and V8H9
(counter low).
3. Empty
This module must be applied during configuration (see below), if main value 2 is not
to appear in the data telegram.
Configuration of the
cyclic data telegram
Use the configuration software of your PLC in order to compose the data telegram from
these modules in one of the following ways:
1. Main value 1
In order to transmit only main value 1, select the module Analog Input.
2. Main value 1 and flow counter
In order to transmit main value 1 and the flow counter, select the modules in the following order: Analog Input, Empty, Counter.
3. Main value 1 and main value 2
In order to transmit both main values , select Analog Input twice.
4. Main value 1, main value 2 and flow counter
In order to transmit both main values and the flow counter, select the modules in the
following order: Analog Input, Analog Input, Counter.
The exact way of performing the configuration depends on the configuration software
of the PLC.

The factory setting for the current output assigns a maximum flowrate Qmax = 100 to
the 20 mA current.
After entering a characteristic code, the maximum flow exceeds this vale and causes
a signal overrun.
If you want to use the current output, then enter the flow value in V0H6 which is
assigned to the 20 mA signal.

Appendix B: Application Parameter
Appendix B: Application Parameter V0H3

Five application parameters allow the ultrasonic measuring system to be adapted to the
many possible bulk solid and liquid applications. The application parameters are
selected at matrix position V0H3 (for channel two V4H3)
Application parameter 0, liquids
Application parameter 1, liquids with rapid level changes
Application parameter 2, fine-grained bulk solids
Application parameter 3, coarse bulk solids
Application parameter 4, bulk solids with rapid level changes.
Application parameter 0
Liquids
Application parameter 0, see Fig. 1, provides optimised signal processing for liquids in
closed storage tanks. For bowed-topped tanks in particular the focussing effect of the
top causes double reflections which are often stronger than the echo from the product
surface. This mode ensures that the product echo is evaluated even when the double
echo is stronger.
Application parameter 0 liquids is suitable for the measurement of sludges and

viscous products.

Endress+Hauser
Application parameter 1, see Fig. 2, is intended for liquid tanks, where appropriate with
stirres outside the detection zone, where rapid level changes are to be expected, e.g.
in small process or buffer tanks.

BA100E72
Application parameter 2, see Fig. 3, is suitable for fine-grained, dry, fluidizable solids,
such as cement, PVC powder and granules, and which tend to form build up and dust.
The filling noise, which results from the pneumatic filling of the silo, is accounted for by
a dynamic signal evaluation.

Coarse bulk solids
Application parameter 3, see Fig. 4, is intended for coarse bulk solids such as stones
and coal. The high noise level and diffuse echoes due to falling products and filling
mound are accounted for by dynamic signal evaluation.
