Refer to the ABB Certification (installation) drawing that is indicated on the unit name plate and local and national electrical codes for installation requirements in hazardous (classified) locations.
  • Page 13: System Description

    The LevelMaster uses simple ASCII protocol for communications and, therefore, can be interfaced to nearly any host system. When used in conjunction with ABB Totalflow host controllers (remote controllers or flow computers), a wide range of data gathering and site automation applications are available.
  • Page 14: General Specifications

    The sensor casing or tube is manufactured with different materials, depending on the corrosiveness of the fluid. These fluids include, but are not limited to: culinary water, oils, solvents, or acids. LevelMaster 7100 User manual 2105835 Rev AA | 4...
  • Page 15 The onboard power port provides the connector to supply power to the LevelMaster. The power port supports connections to: An external power supply or ABB Totalflow control or measurement equipment such as remote controllers and flow computers. Serial communications (RS-485) port The onboard serial port is used for communication with other devices.
  • Page 16: Software Interfaces

    The software interface used to collect and monitor the LevelMaster measurement readings when connected to the ABB Totalflow host controller is PCCU32. PCCU32 is the common user interface for the ABB Totalflow remote controller and flow computer family of products.
  • Page 17: Installation Scenarios

    Using PCCU32 PCCU32 is the primary interface for the family of ABB Totalflow host controller products. It is used to configure the controller to be able to support communication with the LevelMaster. A special purpose application, the LevelMaster application, is activated within the controller to request, receive, display, and store measurement data from the sensor.
