product surface and received back by the transducer as echoes.
The running time of the ultrasonic pulses from emission to reception
is proportional to the distance and hence the level. The determined
level is converted into an appropriate output signal and outputted as
measured value.
Power is supplied via the H1 Fieldbus. A two-wire cable according to
Fieldbus specification serves as carrier of both power and digital data
for multiple sensors. This cable can be operated in two versions:
•
via an H1 interface card in the control system and additional power
supply
•
via a Linking device with HSE (High speed Ethernet) and addi-
tional power supply according to IEC 61158-2
