Micropilot 80 GHz Radar Level Sensors
Description
Micropilot 80 GHz radar sensors: FMR60B, FMR62B, FMR63B, FMR66B, and FMR67B are suited for challenges when measuring points aren’t easily accessible, located in dusty areas and harsh environments with extreme process temperatures and process conditions. The sensors come with wizards which operate via multiple HMI formats, including the SmartBlue app, and make the sensors easier to use.
The range of 80 GHz radar sensors for level measurement provides solutions for virtually any radar application. Thanks to the compact device design, it can be used in confined installation situations.
Users are guided through the process by integrated assistants (wizards), thus preventing errors and enabling the devices to be successfully commissioned with limited experience or training. Thanks to a Bluetooth interface, the devices can be controlled remotely via the SmartBlue app. In conjunction with Heartbeat Technology, processes can be monitored continuously, and verifications performed in less than 3 minutes while the process is running.
The HistoROM mobile data memory transfers measuring point parameters without error when the electronics are replaced. The device is repaired quickly and smoothly without requiring specialized user knowledge. Systematic errors, unintentional operating errors, and process anomalies all pose risks to plant safety.
Instrument-led sequences also guide the user step by step through commissioning, parameter configuration or SIL proof testing, thus preventing systematic errors and increasing safety. As a result of the existing Bluetooth interface, function checks or changes to settings can always be performed remotely from outside the danger zone via the SmartBlue app. The innovative communication option, Ethernet-APL, also allows the device to be monitored and operated for the first time via an integrated web server. The color display also ensures safety at a glance by changing from green to red in the event of an error.
Another function that eliminates systematic errors is the automatically generated checksum (CRC), generated from all the safety-related parameters and noted in the test report. Changes to an individual parameter can thus be identified from the checksum, making it possible to see immediately if a parameter has been changed and thus significantly speeding up inspections.
