Multi-Functional Level Control
System
General
Scope
This section describes the requirements for a multi-functional level controller
system. Under this item, the contractor shall furnish and install the multi-
functional level controller system, and all associated equipment and accessories
as indicated on the plans and as herein specified.
Submittals
The following information shall be included in the submittal for this section:
Data sheets and catalog literature for system components.
Interconnection and dimensional drawings.
Basic System Description
The multi-functional level control system (level system) shall employ acoustic
echo-ranging technology to determine the distance between the transducer and
monitored surface, as a basis for display, output, and digital communication.
The level system shall consist of a microprocessor based level controller and an
ultrasonic transducer (transducer) for single point operation.
The level controller shall be operator configurable to meet specific application
requirements by implementation of available signal processing and process
control functions, in any allowable combination.
Level Controller Functions
Signal Processing
The level controller shall:
Employ an ultrasonic transceiver suitable for providing excitation to, and
processing resultant signals from the attached ultrasonic transducer.
Create a digitized echo profile, and apply patented Sonic Intelligence
echo processing techniques to select and verify the echo representing
the reflective surface monitored.
Shall employ Auto False Echo Suppression with the ability to
automatically reject signals created by obstructions in the sound wave
beam path and determine true material level.
Calculate the distance between the transducer face and reflective
surface based on the echo selected. The calculated distance may be
converted to represent: material level, differential level*, average level*,
space, material volume, vessel ullage, pumped volume, or head, open
channel flow rate, and/or total flow volume. (* Additional transducer
required.)
Compensate temperature-induced variation in the acoustic wave
propagation velocity in air. This compensation shall be based on the
