Technical Reference

This volume calculation creates a piece-wise linear approximation of the level/volume curve. This option provides best results if the curve has sharp angles joining relatively linear sections.

Enter a Level Breakpoint at each point where the level/volume curve bends sharply (2 minimum).

For combination curves (mostly linear but include 1 or more arcs), ensure numerous breakpoints are entered along the arc, for best volume calculation accuracy.

Universal, Curved (P050 = 10)

This volume calculation creates a cubic spline approximation of the level/volume curve. This option provides best results if the curve is non-linear, and there are no sharp angles.

volume

level

Select at least enough breakpoints from the curve to satisfy the following:

•2 breakpoints very near the minimum level

•1 breakpoint at the tangent points of each arc

•1 breakpoint at each arc apex

•2 breakpoints very near the maximum level

For combination curves, ensure at least 2 breakpoints are entered immediately before and after any sharp angle (as well as 1 breakpoint exactly at the angle) on the curve.

Maximum Process Speed

The SITRANS LU01 Maximum Process Speed (P003) to material level changes is designed to exceed the most demanding installation requirements.

If any of these parameters are independently altered, a Max. Process speed parameter alteration automatically changes the independently altered value.

Note: Slower Max. Process Speed provides greater measurement reliability. Faster independently set Max Fill/Empty Rates may be impeded by Echo Lock, Scan Delay and Shot Delay values.

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.
