P820 Algorithm

 

 

 

 

If a material agitator (mixer) is used in the vessel monitored, set Echo Lock for maximum verification or material agitator to avoid agitator blade detection. Ensure the agitator is always ON while the SITRANS LU01 is monitoring the vessel to avoid stationary blade detection.

When set for max verification or material agitator, a new measurement outside of the Echo Lock Window (P713) must meet the sampling criterion (P712).

For total lock, Echo Lock Window (P713) is preset to zero 0. The SITRANS LU01 continuously searches for the best echo according to the algorithm chosen (P820). If the selected echo is within the window, the window is then centered about the echo. If not, the window widens with each successive shot until the selected echo is within the window. The window then returns to its normal width.

When Echo Lock is OFF , the SITRANS LU01 responds immediately to a new measurement as restricted by the Max Fill / Empty Rate (P700 / P701); however, measurement reliability is affected.

P712 Echo Lock Sampling

The sampling criterion sets the number of consecutive echoes appearing above or below the echo currently locked onto, that must occur before the measurements are validated as the new reading (for Echo Lock P711 values: 1 or 2).

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.
