The transducer is available in ETFE (ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene) or PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride), allowing SITRANS Probe LU to be used in a wide variety of industries and applications using corrosive chemicals. The ultrasonic transducer contains a temperature-sensing element to compensate for temperature changes in the application.
Applications Level, volume, or flow SITRANS Probe LU is designed to measure levels of liquids in a variety of applications: • storage type vessels • simple process vessels with some surface agitation • liquids • slurries • open channels Volume Volume parameters allow you to obtain the measurement as volume instead of level.

SITRANS Probe LU is now ready to operate. Using Auto False Echo Suppression If SITRANS Probe LU displays a false high level, or the reading is fluctuating between the correct level and a false high level, you can use the Auto False Echo Suppression TVT setup parameters to prevent false echo detection.
Remote operation via PROFIBUS PA SITRANS Probe LU (PROFIBUS PA) is a Class B, Profile Version 3.0, rev. 1, PA device. It supports Class 1 Master for cyclic and acyclic data exchange, and Class 2 for acyclic services. The full range of SITRANS Probe LU functions is available only over a PROFIBUS PA network.
In the case of the Probe LU (PROFIBUS PA), the maximum PROFIBUS current is user- PROFIBUS Current Consumption selectable, and can be either 12, 13, 15, or 20 mA. (See page 79.) 7ML19985JB02 SITRANS Probe LU (PROFIBUS PA) – INSTRUCTION MANUAL Page 23...
Configuration information is only needed periodically and is set up as acyclic data. Cyclic Data When you configure SITRANS Probe LU on the PROFIBUS PA bus, there are two slots available for modules. Each of the slots has to have a module defined in it.
This could happen when a firmware download has been done, but a system reset has not been done. This could also happen if the function blocks are not configured properly using the handheld programmer, PDM or acyclic services. 7ML19985JB02 SITRANS Probe LU (PROFIBUS PA) – INSTRUCTION MANUAL Page 25...

Acyclic Data SITRANS Probe LU supports up to four simultaneous connections by a Class 2 Master (C2 connection). It supports one connection by a Class 1 Master (C1 connection). In order for a Class 1 Master to read parameters from an instrument, it needs to know the slot and absolute index of the parameter.
Configuration Example To configure and use PROFIBUS PA with an S7-300/ 400 PLC If SITRANS Probe LU is not listed in the STEP 7 device catalog, you can download the GSD file from the product page of our web site at: https://pia.khe.siemens.com/index.asp?Nr=11157 under Downloads.
• Sensor Calibration Changing parameter settings • First launch SIMATIC PDM, connect to SITRANS Probe LU , and upload data from the device (the status fields change to Loaded). • Adjust parameter values in the parameter view field (right side of screen).
The transducer emits a series of ultrasonic pulses: each pulse is reflected as an echo from the material and sensed by the transducer. The echo is processed by SITRANS Probe LU, using Siemens proven Sonic Intelligence techniques. Filtering is applied to help discriminate between the true echo from the material and false echoes from acoustic and electrical noise, and agitator blades in motion.
• When Echo Lock is Off, SITRANS Probe LU responds immediately to a new measurement (within the restrictions set by the Maximum Fill / Empty Rate). However, measurement reliability is affected. • When Maximum Verification or Material Agitator is selected, a new measurement outside the Echo Lock Window must meet the sampling criteria.
Auto False-Echo Suppression The TVT adjustment parameters allow you to set a TVT (Time Varying Threshold) curve, so that SITRANS Probe LU will ignore false echoes. The default TVT curve hovers above the echo profile, and effectively screens out small false echoes.
Page 44
Distance (meters) Turn on Auto False-Echo Suppression when the material level is substantially lower than process full level (ideally when the tank is empty or almost empty). Page 38 SITRANS Probe LU (PROFIBUS PA) – INSTRUCTION MANUAL 7ML19985JB02...
Open Channel Monitoring (OCM) OCM converts a level reading (head) into a flow value using a linear algorithm. SITRANS Probe LU can convert a head level measurement into a flow rate, using an eleven breakpoint head-versus-flow characteristic curve. This chart is usually available from the manufacturer of the v-notch weir, Parshall flume, or other open channel device.
Write locking that Write Locking is Off (see on page 45). If you try to set a SITRANS Probe LU parameter via remote communications, but the parameter remains unchanged, make sure remote operation is enabled (see Remote operation enable on page 45). Also make sure that Write Locking is Off (see Write Locking on page 76).
