Siemens 200 instruction manual Volume MR, Readings, Tank Shape and Dimensions

Volume [MR 200]

Volume is a feature of the MultiRanger 200 only. Volume is used in two situations:

1.Calculate and display volume instead of level. For programming all setpoint parameters in terms of volume units rather than level units.

2.Calculate pumped volume to accomplish the following:

•Totalize the volume of material that is pumped out of the wet well

•Set an alarm on pump efficiency

If you require this functionality, please contact your local Siemens Milltronics representative at www.siemens.com/processautomation .

Readings

When using volume, readings are given in arbitrary units specified in P051.

The default is 100, which gives a reading in percent of total. Use whatever units you want here. If the value is too large for the four-digit LCD, use a larger unit.

Example

If a wet well has a maximum capacity of 250,000 liters, use the value 250.0 for P051 and set the reading in 1000s of liters.

Tank Shape and Dimensions

There are many common tank shapes to select from. (See P050. If possible, use one of these.) Each tank shape uses the Empty distance (P006) in its calculations of volume.

Some tank shapes also require extra dimensions to calculate the volumes. Do not estimate these values. They must be correct to ensure the accuracy of your volume calculations.

To configure volume for a tank with a half-sphere bottom, set the following:

Parameter	Index	Value	Description
P050	1	4	selects the correct tank shape
P051	1	100	sets maximum volume at 100 (percent)
P052	1	1.3	sets A to 1.3m

Notes:

•The default reading changes to a range from 0 to 100 (the value in P051)

•Empty (P006) is still measured to the bottom of the tank, not the top of A.
