Fisherr FIELDVUEt DLC3010 Digital Level

Controller

The FIELDVUE DLC3010 digital level controller is used

with level sensors to measure liquid level, the level of

the interface between two liquids, or liquid specific

gravity (density). Changes in level or specific gravity

exert a buoyant force on a displacer, which rotates a

torque tube shaft. The digital level controller converts

this rotational motion to an electronic signal.

The DLC3010 is a communicating,

microprocessor-based instrument that can be

configured to sense the level, interface level, or

density of liquids. In addition to the normal function of

providing a 4 to 20 milliampere current signal, the

DLC3010, using HART

communications protocol,

gives easy access to information critical to process

operation. You can obtain information about the

process, instrument, or sensor using the 475 or 375

Field Communicator. The DLC3010 can be used in

analog or HART digital signaling mode with the

Emerson Process Management DeltaVt system.

The connection for HART communication may be

made at any point in the field wiring that meets the

HART impedance requirements. Configuration,

calibration, diagnostics, parameter review, signal

monitoring and alert monitoring are all available

W7977-1

through the HART protocol. Information from the field

can be integrated into control systems or be received

on a single loop basis.

The DLC3010 digital level controller is designed to

directly replace standard pneumatic and electronic

level transmitters. It mounts on a wide variety of Fisher

249 caged and cageless level sensors.

A level, density, or interface level change in the measured fluid causes a change in the displacer buoyancy (figure 5). This change is transferred to the torque tube assembly.
