Increase the Confidence Threshold (small amounts at a time) while observing the results. If performance is not improved return the Confidence Threshold to the preset value.

Connect an oscilloscope to the SITRANS LU01, (see Enhancement Parameters Scope Displays, P810). While monitoring the Echo Marker, select the Algorithm (P820) best suited to the material/conditions.

If the Area algorithm is used and narrow noise spikes are evident on the (long shot) Echo Profile, turn the Spike Filter (P821) on and/or widen the Narrow Echo Filter (P822). Also, if the true echo has jagged peaks, use Reform Echo (P823).

If multiple echoes appear on the Echo Profile, typical of a flat material profile (especially if the vessel top is domed), use the first Algorithm.

If the Echo Profile repeatedly switches from short to long, adjust the Short Shot Range (P852) to stabilize the shot mode used for the echo evaluation. Also, adjust the Short Shot Bias to increase (or decrease) the amount of preference given to short shot echoes over long shot echoes.

Should a stable measurement still not be attainable, contact Siemens Milltronics or your local distributor.

LU01 specifications

The Siemens LU01 is a state-of-the-art train control and signaling system designed to enhance the safety and efficiency of rail networks. This sophisticated system leverages advanced technologies and innovative features to ensure seamless train operations, lower maintenance costs, and improved overall performance.

One of the main features of the Siemens LU01 is its implementation of the European Train Control System (ETCS). ETCS is a vital component in modernizing rail infrastructure across Europe, aiming to standardize various train control systems for enhanced interoperability among different national networks. The LU01 facilitates the integration of ETCS Level 1 and Level 2, allowing for both trackside equipment and onboard systems to work in harmony to manage train movements effectively.

Additionally, the LU01 employs a decentralized architecture that enhances system reliability and minimizes downtime. This design means that it can operate even in the case of individual component failures, ensuring that train operations remain uninterrupted. Furthermore, the LU01 utilizes advanced diagnostic tools and predictive maintenance technologies to monitor system performance continuously. This proactive approach allows for early identification of potential issues and timely maintenance, which contributes to reducing operational costs.

Another critical characteristic of the Siemens LU01 is its capability for real-time data transmission. The system integrates wireless communication technologies, enabling constant connectivity between trains and control centers. This feature allows for real-time updates on train positions, speeds, and other critical operational data, thereby enhancing situational awareness for train operators and maintaining optimal schedules.

Moreover, the LU01 is designed to be compatible with existing rail infrastructure, ensuring a smooth transition for railway operators looking to upgrade their signaling systems without extensive overhauls. This adaptability makes it an appealing choice for both new projects and retrofitting existing rail networks.

In summary, the Siemens LU01 stands out for its cutting-edge features, including support for ETCS, decentralized architecture, real-time data communication, and compatibility with legacy systems. With these technologies and characteristics, the LU01 significantly contributes to the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of modern rail transport systems, making it a pivotal solution in the evolution of railway operations.
