Description of the blocks
Transducer block function groups
The figure below shows the signal flow of measured values from the sensor through the
Transducer block into the output value:
•
Primary Value (PV): Level
•
Secondary Value 1 (SV1): Level/Volume
•
Secondary Value 2 (SV2): Distance
The Level TB implements all of the basic parameters.

How the LTB works
1.
The sensor technology block selects the proper echo. For an explanation of sensor
technology, see
The sensor value (in sensor units) is checked to see if it is within its measuring limits.
If the limit is exceeded, this results in a Bad status and the error message Failure in
measurement. The sensor value is stored in Sensor Value.
The analog signal from the sensor is transformed into a digital signal.
A Sensor Offset (default 0) provides compensation if necessary for changes in the
sensor.
