Micropilot FMR50
Endress+Hauser V. 10, Rev. 2, 1-10-2019 85
Heartbeat Monitoring Availability
Available for the following options of feature 540 "Application Package":
EH: Heartbeat Verification + Monitoring
Function
In addition to the verification parameters, the corresponding parameter values are also logged.
Existing measured variables, such as the echo amplitude, are used in the Foam detection and
Build-up detection wizards.
For Micropilot FMR5x, the Foam detection and Build-up detection wizards cannot be used
together.
"Foam detection" wizard
The Heartbeat Monitoring module contains the Foam detection wizard.
This wizard is used to configure automatic foam detection, which detects foam on the product
surface on the basis of the reduced signal amplitude. Foam detection can be linked to a switch
output in order to control a sprinkler system, for example, which dissolves the foam.
This wizard can be used via FieldCare, DeviceCare or a DTM-based process control system.
"Build-up detection" wizard
The Heartbeat Monitoring module contains the Build-up detection wizard.
The wizard is used to configure automatic buildup detection, which detects the buildup of deposits
on the antenna on the basis of the increased area of the coupling signal. Buildup detection can be
linked to a switch output in order to control a compressed air system, for example, to clean the
antenna.
This wizard can be used via FieldCare, DeviceCare or a DTM-based process control system.
Advantages
Early detection of changes (trends) to ensure plant availability and product quality.
Use of information for the proactive planning of measures (e.g. cleaning/maintenance).
Identification of undesirable process conditions as the basis to optimizing the facility and the
processes.
Automated control of measures to remove foam or buildup.
