3.1.2 Expert → System → Configuration backup display

The Configuration backup display submenu is only visible if a display module is
connected to the device.
Overview
All software configurations are initially stored in a memory module (HistoROM) in the
housing and are thus permanently connected with the device. As an additional option, the
display module contains a backup memory for the device configuration. The transmission
of configuration data between these two memory modules is controlled by the
Configuration backup display submenu. It provides the following options:
• Backup of a configuration from the device into the display module.
• Restore a device configuration.
This option can be used to restore a configuration back into the device which has
previously been saved in the display module.
• Duplicate a device configuration.
If the configuration has been saved into the display module, the module can be
connected to a different device and the configuration can be duplicated to this device.
This allows to efficiently configure a number of devices in the same way.
• Compare the configurations in the device and in the display module.
The comparison result indicates whether the device configuration has been changed
since the last backup.

3.2.9 Expert → Sensor → Gas phase compensation
Overview
High pressures reduce the propagation velocity of the measuring signals in the gas/vapor
above the fluid. This effect depends on the kind of gas/vapor and of its temperature. This
results in a systematic measuring error that gets bigger as the distance increases between
the reference point of the measurement (flange) and the product surface.
Influence of a gas layer

The following table illustrates this measured error for a few typical gases/vapors (with
regard to distance; a positive value means that too large a distance is being measured):
Gas layer Temperature Pressure

Types of gas phase compensation

The influence of the gas phase can be compensated for in the following ways:
• Gas phase compensation with reference signal 2) (→  79)
• Constant gas phase compensation factor (→  80)
• For PROFIBUS PA and FOUNDATION Fieldbus: Compensation with external pressure
measurement (→  81)
2) This type of gas phase compensationis not recommended for Micropilot.
78 Endress+Hauser
Gas phase compensation with reference signal

This type of gas phase compensation needs an artificaial reference echo at a definite
distance from the process connection. The reference signal must always be above the
maximum level. The position of the reference echo depends on the pressure of the gas
phase. The device uses this echo shift to calculate the correction factor for the distance
measurement.
Endress+Hauser 79
Constant gas phase compensation factor

If the properties of the gas phase (pressure, temperature, composition) do not change over
the time and are known, a gas phase compensation can also be performed without a
reference signal. Instead, a constant, user-defined correction factor is applied in this case.
This factor is used to adjust the envelope curve and thus the measured echo distance.

Compensation with external pressure measurement (PROFIBUS PA and FOUNDATION

Fieldbus)
The compensation with external pressure measurement is only available for devices
with PROFIBUS PA or FOUNDATION Fieldbus.
In many cases the dielectric constant is proportional to the pressure of the gas phase. If the
proprotionality factor is known, a gas phase compensation can be performed by measuring
the pressure externally.
The device receives the externally measured pressure p of the gas phase through one of
the Analog Input Blocks and uses the user defined gas phase compensation factor F to
calculate the dielectric constant ε of the gas phase according to the following formula:
ε=1+Fp
ε is then used to calculate the correction of the measured distances.

A total of 500 measured values can be logged. This means:
• 500 data points if 1 logging channel is used
• 250 data points if 2 logging channels are used
Once the maximum number of data points is reached, the oldest data points in the data log
are cyclically overwritten in such a way that the last 500, 250, 166 or 125 measured
values are always in the log (ring memory principle).

Endress+Hauser 177
Description Definition of the logging interval tlog for data logging. This defines the interval between
the individual data points in the data log, and thus the maximum loggable process time
Tlog.
• If 1 logging channel is used: T log = 500 ⋅ t log
• If 2 logging channels are used: T log = 250 ⋅ t log
Once this time elapses, the oldest data points in the data log are cyclically overwritten such
that a time of Tlog always remains in the meory (ring memory principle).
Nach Ablauf dieser Zeit werden die ältesten im Speicher vorhandenen Datenpunkte
zyklisch überschrieben, so dass immer eine Zeit von Tlog im Speicher bleibt (Ringspeicher-
Prinzip).
The log contents are cleared if the length of the logging interval is changed.
Additional information Example

If 1 logging channel is used:
• Tlog = 500 ⋅ 1 s = 500 s ≈ 8.5 min
• Tlog = 500 ⋅ 10 s = 5 000 s ≈ 1.5 h
• Tlog = 500 ⋅ 80 s = 40 000 s ≈ 11 h
• Tlog = 500 ⋅ 3 600 s = 1 800 000 s ≈ 20 d

3.9.8 Expert → Diagnostics → Advanced diagnostics 1/2
Basic principles
The Advanced Diagnostics offers additional options to monitor the process. The device
contains two Advanced Diagnostics Blocks which can be used separately or in combination.
A measuring variable can be assigned to the input of each Advanced Diagnostics Block.
Based on a freely configurable time interval, the variable can be submitted to a statistical
function (e.g. maximum, minimum, mean, slope). Finally, a limit detection can be
parametrized and its result can be transmitted to a digital output.
The result can be displayed and evaluated by a DCS or PLC. If required, it can also be linked
to the second Advanced Diagnostics block and thus it is possible to combine the two results
by the logical operators AND or OR.
Endress+Hauser 187
Application example: Foam detection

Preconditions
• The process runs at a fixed level (in the example: 80 %)
• If foam occurs during the operation, the vessel should automatically be sprinkled with
water from the top or an antifoam agent should be added to dissolve the foam.
Reaction of the radar signal in the case of foam formation
The echo amplitude decreases in the case of foam formation. This can be used by the
Advanced Diagnostics to detect the foam. The foam detection, however, should only be
active as long as the level is between 75 % and 85 %.

 16 Decrease of the amplitude in case of foam formation

A Amplitude threshold for foam detection
Step 1: Determination of the amplitude threshold

Observe the echo amplitude while the process is running at the given level (in the example:
80 %) and determine the lower limit for the amplitude (in the example: 10 dB).
The Maximum value 1/2 (→  196) and Minimum value 1/2 (→  196) parameters
can be used for this.

Step 2: Configuration of the level monitoring
In order to ensure that the level actually is in the vicinity of the given value: Configure
Advanced Diagnostics 1 as follows:
• Assign diagnostic signal 1 = Level linearized
• Check mode 1 = Out of range
Out of range checks whether the level is outside a defined range. As long as this is the
case, the block outputs "0" (INACTIVE). If the level gets into the defined range, the block
outputs "1" (ACTIVE).
• Upper limit 1 = 85 %
• Lower limit 1 = 75 %
With this setting, the output of Advanced Diagnostics 1 assumes the following value:
• 0 (INACTIVE) - if the level is outside the defined range (out of range).
• 1 (ACTIVE) - if the level is within the defined range. The foam detection should only be
active in this case.

188 Endress+Hauser
Step 3: Configuration of the foam detection.

Configure Advanced Diagnostics 2 as follows:
• Assign diagnostic signal 2 = Relative echo amplitude
• Calculation type 2 = Mean
• Sample time 2 = 60 s
• Check mode 2 = Lower limit
• Lower limit 2 = 10 dB
With this setting Advanced Diagnostics 2 (internally) assumes the following value:
• 0 (INACTIVE) - if the amplitude exceeds 10 dB (i.e.: there is no foam)
• 1 (ACTIVE) - if the amplitude is below 10 dB (i.e.: foam detected).

Step 4: Configuration of the logic block linking
Configure Advanced Diagnostics 2 as follows:
• Link AD 2 to = Digital output AD 1
• Linking logic AD 2 = AND
With this setting, the output of Advanced Diagnostics 2 assumes the following value:
• 0 (INACTIVE) - if at least one of the two blocks is in the "0" (INACTIVE) status.
• 1 (ACTIVE) - if both blocks are in the "1" (ACTIVE) status.
For the example this means:
– A diagnostic signal is output, if the level is within the defined range and the signal
amplitude is below 10 dB. This signal can be linked to the status output of the device
(→  98).
– If, on the other hand, the level is out of the defined range or if the signal amplitude
exceeds 10 dB, no diagnostic signal is transmitted via the switch output.
The status can also be linked to the DI block and transmitted to the fieldbus.
