Micropilot FMR56, FMR57

Function and system design

Measuring principle The Micropilot is a "downward-looking" measuring system, operating based on the time-of-flight method
(ToF). It measures the distance from the reference point (process connection) to the product surface. Radar
impulses are emitted by an antenna, reflected off the product surface and received again by the radar system.

A0017872
A
R Reference point of the measurement (lower edge of the flange or threaded connection)
E Empty calibration ( = zero)
F Full calibration (= span)
D Measured distance
L Level (L = E - D)

Input
The reflected radar impulses are received by the antenna and transmitted into the electronics. A
R

microprocessor evaluates the signal and identifies the level echo caused by the reflection of the radar impulse
at the product surface. The unambiguous signal identification is accomplished by the PulseMaster® eXact
software together with the Multi-echo tracking algorithms, based on many years of experience with time-of-
flight technology.
The distance D to the product surface is proportional to the time of flight t of the impulse:
D = c · t/2,
D

with c being the speed of light.

Based on the known empty distance E, the level L is calculated:
L=E–D
The reference point R of the measurement is located at the process connection. For details see the
dimensional drawing:
• FMR56: (® ä 55)
• FMR57: (® ä 58)
The Micropilot is equipped with functions to suppress interference echoes. The user can activate these
functions. Together with the multi-echo tracking algorithms they ensure that interference echoes (i.e. from
edges and weld seams) are not interpreted as level echo.

Output
The Micropilot is commissioned by entering an empty distance "E" (=zero), a full distance "F" (=span) and
application parameters. The application parameters are automatically adapt into the instrument to the
process conditions. For models with a current output, the factory adjustment for zero point "E" and span "F"
is 4 mA and 20 mA. For digital outputs and the display module, the factory adjustment for zero point "E" and
span "F" is 0 % and 100 %.
A linearization with max. 32 points, based on a table entered either manually or semi-automatically, can be
activated locally or remotely. This function provides a measurement in engineering units and a linear output
signal for spheres, horizontal cylindrical tanks and vessels with conical outlet.

permanent instantiable time
blocks blocks

PID Block The PID block serves as proportional- 1 1 25 ms standard

integralderivative controller and is used
almost universally to do closed-loop-
control in the field including cascade and
feedforward.

Arithmetic This block is designed to permit simple 1 1 25 ms standard

Block use of popular measurement math
functions. The user does not have to
know how to write equations. The math
algorithm is selected by name, chosen by
the user for the function to be done.

Signal The signal characterizer block has two 1 1 25 ms standard

Characterizer sections, each with an output that is a
Block non-linear function of the respective

T
input. The non-linear function is
determined by a single look-up table
with 21 arbitrary x-y pairs.

Input Selector The input selector block provides 1 1 25 ms standard

Block selection of up to four inputs and
generates an output based on the
configured action. This block normally

Integrator
Block
F
receives its inputs from AI blocks. The
block performs maximum, minimum,
middle, average and ‘first good’ signal
selection.

The Integrator Function Block integrates 1

a variable as a function of the time or
accumulates the counts from a Pulse
1 25 ms standard
A
Input block. The block may be used as a
totalizer that counts up until reset or as a
batch totalizer that has a setpoint, where
the integrated or accumulated value is
compared to pre-trip and trip settings,
generating discrete signals when these
settings are reached.

• Recommended distance A from wall to outer

edge of nozzle: ~ 1/6 of vessel diameter.
1 2 3 Nevertheless the device should not be installed
closer than 20 cm (7.87 in) to the vessel wall.
If the wall of the vessel is not smooth
(corrugated metal, welding seams, irregularities
etc.) the distance from the wall should be kept
as large as possible. If necessary, use an
alignment device to prevent interference
reflections from the wall(® ä 44).
A • Not in the center (2), as interference can cause
signal loss.

T
• Not above the fill stream (3).
• It is recommended to us a weather protection
cover (1) in order to protect the device from
direct sun or rain.
• In extremely dusty applications, the integrated
air purge connection can prevent clogging of the
antenna (® ä 45).

Measurement in a plastic vessel
If the outer wall of the vessel is made of a non-conductive material (e.g. GRP), microwaves can also be
reflected off interfering installations outside the signal beam (e.g. metallic pipes (1), ladders (2), grates
(3), ...). Therefore, there should be no such interfering installations in the signal beam. Please contact
Endress+Hauser for further information.

Optimization options
• Antenna size
The bigger the antenna, the smaller the beam angle a and the fewer interference echoes (® ä 34).
• Mapping
The measurement can be optimized by means of electronic suppression of interference echoes.
• Antenna alignment
Take into account the marker on the flange or threaded connection (® ä 39).
• Metallic screens mounted at a slope (3)
They spread the radar signals and can, therefore, reduce interference echoes.
• Variable flange seal (FMR56)
Using the variable flange seal, the device can be aligned in the direction of the product surface. For details
refer to Operating Instructions BA01048F, chapter "Accessories".
• Alignment device for FMR57
In FMR57 with alignment device, the sensor can be optimally aimed within the vessel and thus
interference echoes can be avoided. The maximum angle b is ±15°.
In particular, sensor alignment serves to:
– prevent interference reflections

T
– extend the maximum possible measuring range in conical outlets.

Measuring conditions • The measuring range begins, where the beam hits the bottom. Particularly with conical outlets the level
cannot be detected below this point. The maximum measuring range can be increased in such applications
by using an alignment device (® ä 44).
• In case of media with a low dielectric constant (er = 1.5 to 2.5) 2), the bottom can be visible through the
medium at low levels. In order to guarantee the required accuracy in these cases, it is recommended to
position the zero-point at a distance C above the bottom (see figure).
• In principle it is possible to measure up to the tip of the antenna with Micropilot. However, due to
considerations regarding abrasion and build-up and depending on the orientation of the product surface
(angle of repose), the end of the measuring range should be at a distance of A (see figure) from the tip of
the antenna. If required, and if some conditions (high DC value, flat angle of repose) are met, shorter
distances can be achieved.

Degree of protection • With closed housing tested according to:

– IP68, NEMA6P (24 h at 1.83 m under water surface)
– For plastic housing with transparent cover (display module): IP68 (24 h at 1.00 m under water
surface) 3)

Degree of protection IP68 NEMA6P applies for M12 PROFIBUS PA plugs only when the PROFIBUS
cable is plugged in and is also rated IP68 NEMA6P.

Cleaning the antenna The antenna can get contaminated, depending on the application. The emission and reception of microwaves
can thus eventually be hindered. The degree of contamination leading to an error depends on the medium
and the reflectivity, mainly determined by the dielectric constant er.
If the medium tends to cause contamination and deposits, cleaning on a regular basis is recommended. In
the case of FRM57, the integrated air purge connection can be used for this (® ä 45). Care has to be taken
not to damage the antenna in the process of a mechanical or hose-down cleaning. The material compatibility
has to be considered if cleaning agents are used! The maximum permitted temperature at the flange should
not be exceeded.

3) This restriction is valid if the following options of the product structure have been selected at the same time: 030("Display, Operation") = C("SD02") or
E("SD03"); 040("Housing") = A("GT19").

Electromagnetic compatibility Electromagnetic compatibility to all relevant requirements of the EN 61326- series and NAMUR
(EMC) recommendation EMC (NE21). For details see declaration of conformity. 4).
If only the analogue signal is used, unshielded interconnection lines are sufficient for the installation. In case
of using the digital signal (HART/ PA/ FF) use shielded interconnection lines. Use a shielded cable when
working with a digital communications signal.
Max. fluctuations during EMC- tests: < 0.5 % of the span. As an exception to this, the maximum
fluctuations may amount to 2 % of the span for devices with plastic housing and see-through lid (integrated
display and operating module SD02 or SD03) if strong electromagnetic interferences in the frequenency
range of 1 to 2 GHz are present.

System integration via Vendor Managed Inventory

Fieldgate
By using Fieldgates to interrogate tank or silo levels remotely, suppliers of raw materials can provide their
regular customers with information about the current supplies at any time and, for example, account for
them in their own production planning. For their part, the Fieldgates monitor the configured level limits and,
if required, automatically activate the next supply. The spectrum of options here ranges from a simple
purchasing requisition via e-mail through to fully automatic order administration by coupling XML data into
the planning systems on both sides.

Remote maintenance of measuring equipment

Fieldgates not only transfer the current measured values, they also alert the responsible standby personnel, if
required, via e-mail or SMS. In the event of an alarm or also when performing routine checks, service
technicians can diagnose and configure connected HART devices remotely. All that is required for this is the
corresponding HART operating tool (e.g. FieldCare, ...) for the connected device. Fieldgate passes on the
information transparently, so that all options for the respective operating software are available remotely.
Some on-site service operations can be avoided by using remote diagnosis and remote configuration and all
others can at least be better planned and prepared.

5-point linearity protocol (in The following notes must be taken into account if option F4 ("5 point linearity protocol") has been
preparation) selected in feature 550 ("Calibration").

T
The five points of the linearity protocol are evenly distributetd across the measuring range (0% to 100%). In
order to define the measuring range, Empty calibration (E) and Full calibration (F) have to be specified 5).
The following restrictions have to be taken into account when defining E and F:

A ³ Length of antenna + 200 mm (8 in) F ³ 400 mm (16 in) E £ 24 m (79 ft)

Minimum value: 400 mm (16 in)

The linearity is checked under reference conditions.

D

The selected values of Empty calibration and Full calibration are only used to record the linearity
protocol and are reset to their antenna specific default values thereafter. If values different from the
default are required, they must be ordered as a customized parametrization (® ä 77).

5) If E and F are not specified, antenna dependent default values will be used instead.
