Bic-Ii Support - Siemens sitrans LU10 Instruction Manual

The SITRANS LU10 can be used to monitor almost any process (within the temperature,
measurement range, and chemical immunity capabilities of the system) where a distance
measurement or determination of presence vs. lack of presence of an object is desired.
By thoroughly reviewing the parameters sections, you may identify some interesting
ways of using the SITRANS LU10 to monitor specific processes.
e.g. 1 In a paper mill, one transducer may be used to monitor roll diameter, while another
monitors the presence of paper to the roll. The feed can be stopped based on the roll
diameter or a paper break.
e.g. 2 For a truck loading station, one transducer can monitor truck position while another
monitors load height. The discharge can be stopped if the truck is out of position or
when it's full, and the discharge chute can be positioned a minimal distance from the
load during filling to keep dust down.
Siemens Milltronics has many years experience applying ultrasonic level measurement
to a variety of processes in the mining, aggregate, lumber, grain, chemical, pulp and
paper, water, and waste water industries.
If you encounter a difficulty applying the SITRANS LU10 to a process measurement
requirement, or successfully apply the SITRANS LU10 to a "unique process" we may have
never considered, contact Siemens Milltronics or your local distributor.

BIC-II Support

As preset, the SITRANS LU10 provides a digital output via the
(20 mA bipolar serial current loop) terminals, capable of supporting the Siemens
Milltronics
BIC-II.
The SITRANS LU10 utilizes
are continuously transmitted at regular intervals (no poll is required) at 4800 baud. All
data is transmitted in structured messages of ASCII characters consisting of eight data
bits, no parity, and one stop bit.
If Peripheral Communications (P740) is set for "formatted" messages, a comma is inserted
between each message field (except immediately preceding the "End of Message"
characters).
