Wiring Please note: • • • Verify that all system components are installed in accordance with instructions. Connect all cable shields to the MultiRanger Shield Terminals. Avoid differential ground potentials by not connecting cable shields to ground (earth) anywhere. Keep exposed conductors on shielded cables as short as possible to reduce noise on the line caused by stray transmissions and noise pickup.
Terminal Board The terminal board on the MultiRanger allows all inputs and outputs to be connected simultaneously. Note: Recommended torque on terminal clamping screws. • 0.56 - 0.79 Nm • 5 - 7 in.lbs Please do not overtighten the screws.
Transducers Warning: Hazardous voltage present on transducer terminals during operation. Run the transducer cable in a grounded metal conduit, separate from other wiring (except TS-3 temperature sensor wiring, if applicable).
Temperature Sensor Accurate temperature readings are critical to accurate level measurements because the speed of sound changes, depending on air temperature, and all Siemens Milltronics Echomax and ST-H transducers have an internal temperature sensor.
Level System Synchronization Note: The MultiRanger 100/200 CANNOT be synchronized with the MultiRanger Plus or the HydroRanger. When using multiple ultrasonic level monitors, be sure to run the transducer cables in separate grounded metal conduits. When separate conduits are not possible, synchronize the level monitors so that no unit transmits while another is waiting for echo reception.
Note: Make sure unit is connected to a reliable ground. Ground GND L1 L2/N Digital Communications Wiring the MultiRanger for communications allows it to be integrated into a full SCADA system or an industrial LAN. The MultiRanger can also be directly connected to a computer running Dolphin Plus.

Operation mmmmm Activating the MultiRanger All the instructions in the following procedures apply to the hand programmer and assume that the MultiRanger is activated. 1. Power the MultiRanger. 2. 3. Point the programmer at the unit and press PROGRAM Press DISPLAY . .
Security P000 (1954) is a fixed value password. Therefore, you should use other means to secure the MultiRanger if security is a concern. Simulation P000 Lock also controls how simulations affect control relays. By default, control relays are unaffected by simulation levels. But if P000 is set to –1, they react to the simulated level. See Parameters P925–P927 on page 220 for running a simulation.
Default Values Operation mmmmm Parameter default values are indicated with an * in the parameter tables. P000 Lock Primary Index Global 1954 -1 Value other * OFF: programming permitted Simulation Controls (relays energize based on simulated level) ON: Lock activated and programming not permitted via the handheld programmer The asterix identifies 1954 as the default value. Parameter Reset Returning a parameter to factory default. 1. 2. 3. Display the appropriate parameter number.
Changing Parameters(Dolphin Plus) 7ML19981FB06 MultiRanger 100/200 – INSTRUCTION MANUAL Page 35 mmmmm Most examples in this manual use the icons from the hand programmer but nearly all functions are also available through Dolphin Plus. Operation The other method for changing parameter values is with Dolphin Plus software. It lets you access the MultiRanger from a PC or on site with a laptop and change MultiRanger parameters.
Operation mmmmm Parameter Indexing Parameters are indexed when they apply to more than one input or output. The index value defines the input/output for that parameter. Indexed parameters contain a value for each index, even if that index is not used. MultiRanger Display The index number and the index values are displayed above the parameter indicator on the LCD. Index Value Index Number 1 2 3 4 5 6 Notes • • • • Transducers are always indexed when the dual point option is enabled.
Primary and Secondary Indexes Primary Index Example Setting: P111[3] = 52 P111 1 2 3 4 5 6 52 • • P111 sets the Relay Control Function P111(3) = 52 sets Relay #3 to a value of 52. Secondary Index Parameters with a secondary index permit multiple values for a primary index (point). For example, a volume calculation based on vessel characterization breakpoints requires a distinct set of breakpoints for each measured point.
Operation mmmmm Example [MR 200 only] P054 provides up to 32 breakpoint levels used with P055 (Volume Breakpoint) for universal volume calculation. The illustration indicates how you can set secondary indexes to specific functions. A B P054 [1,6] = 2m P054 [2,6] = 8m C P054 [1,3] = 1.5m P054 [1,1] = .75m P054 [2,3] = 5.5m P054 [2,1] = 2.75m P054 1 2 [6 = 2m] A [3 = 1.5m] B A [6 = 8m] B [3 = 5.5m] C [1 = 0.75m] [1 = 2.75m] C P054 [1,1] = .75m sets breakpoint 1 on transducer 1 to .75m.
Average or Differential [MR 200 only] relay is configured Dot indicates relay is energized/deenergized Index 2 3 Description indexed by Transducer One or Two indexed by level measurement 1 = Transducer One 2 = Transducer Two 3 = Calculated Level (average or difference) Dual Point Models The MultiRanger starts in an OFF state and does not take level measurements.
Operation mmmmm Average or Differential [MR 200 only] For differential or average operation dual-point MultiRanger, set P001 to 4 (differential) or 5 (average) and connect two transducers of the same type.
Relays Relays are the primary controls of external devices such as pumps or alarms. The MultiRanger comes with extensive control and alarm functions. General Introduction Depending on the model, up to six onboard multi-purpose relays are provided on the MultiRanger. Each relay may be independently assigned to one function and has a corresponding status icon on the LCD.
Temperature [MR 200] In high alarm, the function goes on when the temperature rises to the ON setpoint and goes off when the temperature lowers to the OFF setpoint. In low alarm, the function goes on when the temperature lowers to the ON setpoint and goes off when the temperature rises to the OFF setpoint. Loss of Echo The function goes on when the fail-safe timer expires. The function goes OFF when a valid echo is received (fail-safe timer is reset).
Relay Status – Non Run Modes When the fail-safe timer expires, pump control relays respond as previously described. However, alarm relays will respond in the following manner: Fail-Safe Mode Fail-Safe High Fail-Safe Low Fail- Safe Hold Relay Status High Alarm ON OFF HOLD Low Alarm OFF ON HOLD Upon entering the program mode, all pump control relays will be turned OFF. Alarm relays will hold their prior status.
P111–Control Functions The control function energizes the relay coils. When the instrument is at rest (no controls operating) the relay coils are de- energized. P112–Relay ON Setpoint Sets the process point at which the relay is tripped. P113–Relay OFF Setpoint Sets the process point at which the relay is reset. Relays mmmmm P118–Relay Output Logic Affects relay reaction. Reverses the logic (normally-open to normally-closed or vice versa).
[MR 100]: Functions affected by setpoint are configured by parameters that determine the application requirements such as timing. P111 Pump and Control functions (see page 134) sets the functions requirements. [MR 200]: Functions affected by setpoint are configured by parameters that determine the application requirements such as timing. P111 Pump and Control functions (see page 134 sets the function requirements.
Preset Applications Preset applications set up the relay parameters to predetermined values shown below: Value Off Wet Well 1 # Parameters Affected 0 All relays set to OFF Pump down with the following settings: Relay # 1 2 3 4 5 6 P111 52 52 1(H) 1(L) 0 0 P112 70% 80% 90% 10% – – P113 20% 20% 85% 15% – – Pump down with the following level and rate settings: Relay # Parameter 1 2 3 4 5 6 P111 52 52 1(H) 1(L) 0 0 P112 70% 80% 90% 10% – – P113 20% 20% 85% 15% – – P121 1 P121 sets the pump relays to accept co
Backup Level Override Backup level override provides the option of overriding the ultrasonic input with another contacting point level device, for example, the Pointek CLS200. The ultrasonic reading is fixed at the programmed switch level until the discrete input is released and the ultrasonic device makes its decisions based on the override value. Backup Level Override Parameters P064: Reading Override Enable Sets the discrete input as the source of a level reading override.
Discrete Inputs Wiring the Discrete Inputs Normal state is standard operation, with the MultiRanger sensing the material level and controlling the pumps. The discrete input contacts are either normally-open or normally-closed when the system state is normal. Example: Normal state for a backup high level switch is open, and the contacts on the discrete input are wired as normally-open. See Discrete Inputs on page 21 for complete details on wiring the discrete inputs.
mA I/O To integrate the MultiRanger with other equipment, use the mA input and outputs. Note: When a mA input parameter is accessed, a mA symbol appears in the upper left corner of the LCD display. The mA input can be used as a level measurement or can be passed on to a SCADA system.
Calibrating 4 mA Output 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Connect the mA receiving device to the MultiRanger. Put the MultiRanger into PROGRAM mode. Set P911–mA Output Value to 4.0. View the mA level on the receiving device. If there is a discrepancy, a.Attach ammeter to MultiRanger mA output. b.Access P214, Index 1 (for mA output 1) or 2 (for mA output 2). Press CLEAR and ENTER . The ammeter should show a value near 4 mA. c.Enter the exact value displayed on the ammeter into P214 (Index 1 or 2). d.
Volume [MR 200] Calculate and display volume instead of level. For programming all setpoint parameters in terms of volume units rather than level units. Calculate pumped volume to accomplish the following: • Totalize the volume of material that is pumped out of the wet well • Set an alarm on pump efficiency 2. If you require this functionality, please contact your local Siemens Milltronics representative at www.siemens.com/processautomation .
If you cannot use a pre-defined tank, then use one of the universal tank shapes and program the characterization curve. 1. Plot a volume to height chart. Usually a tank supplier will provide this chart. However, if you have a custom-built wet well then you will need access to complete drawings of the well or accurate measurements. Enter the curve values from this chart into P054 and P055. Ensure extra points are added around sharp transitions in the wet well volume (e.g: as steps in the well wall). 2. 3.
MultiRanger 200 only Parameter Transducer Index Value Description 7ML19981FB06 1 Determines the Level breakpoints at which the volumes are known. Determines the volumes which correspond to the level breakpoints. The universal calculations interpret between the breakpoints to produce an accurate model of the volume at all level readings.
Alarms Level The level alarm is the most common. Use this alarm to warn you when your process is in danger of being upset due to high or low levels. Generally, the four alarms used are Hi, Hi Hi, Lo, and Lo Lo. Alarms mmmmm Set the Common Parameters P006 hi hi hi P007 lo lo lo Prerequisite: You must know the details of your application and substitute the values for the sample values provided. If you are bench testing the unit, then set your test values to be the same as the sample values.
Setting Simple Level Alarms To set Relay Five to a standard level alarm (Hi Hi, Hi, Lo, Lo Lo) do the following: Parameter Index Value Description P110 5 1 • P111 5 1 • • Press UNIT symbol. • Press ARROW keys as required to scroll to the alarm designation (L, LL, H, or HH). Press ENTER to enter the value.
In Bounds/ Out of Bounds Range [MR 200] Use the bounded range alarms to detect when the level is inside or outside of the range. By using a bounded range alarm, you can effectively put two level alarms (high and low) on one relay. Alarms mmmmm Setting an Out of Bounds Alarm Parameter Index Value P111 P112 P113 P116 5 5 5 5 3 1.3 0.3 0.05 Results: • • Trips alarm above 1.35 m and below 0.25m Resets alarm below 1.25 m and above 0.
With P112 and P113, you can set a high alarm (P112 > P113) or a low alarm (P112 < P113). This shows a high alarm: Parameter Index Value P111 P112 P113 P110 5 5 5 5 5 45 43 1 Description Alarm on temperature ON setpoint at 45 °C OFF setpoint at 43 °C Take the temperature reading from Transducer One The temperature source can be the temperature sensor built into the transducer or an external TS-3, as set by P660.

Single and Dual Point [MR 200] • • Single Point Mode: one pump by rate control available that affects all pumps.
Totalizing Pumped Volume [MR 200] Prerequisite: the volume of the vessel must be known. Parameter Index P001 P002 P003 P004 P005 P006 P007 P050 P051 G G G G G G G G G Value Description 7 1 2 102 1 1.8 1.4 1 17.6 P111 P111 P111 P112 P112 P112 P113 1 2 3 1 2 3 0 52 52 52 1.0 1.2 1.4 0.2 Operation = pumped volume These parameters are as shown above. Tank shape is Flat Bottom. Max volume is 17.6m3 or 17,600 liters. Sets relays 1, 2, and 3 as a pump group using ALTERNATE DUTY ASSIST CONTROL.
Setting a Pump to Run On [MR 200] When you need to pump below the normal OFF setpoint, use P130 (Pump Run-On Interval) and P131 (Pump Run-On Duration) to control this event. Example: The pump connected to Relay Three is set to pump for an extra 60 seconds every 5 hours. Parameter Index P130 P131 3 3 Value Description 5 60 Time in hours of run-on interval. Run-on for 60 seconds. Note: P130 counts when the indexed relay is tripped, not the number of pump cycles.
Example [MR 200]: A range of 0.5 meters is used to vary the setpoint. The randomly-selected setpoints are always inside the ON and OFF setpoints. Level Setpoint ON Random Setpoint Range Wall Cling Value Level Setpoint OFF Grouping Pumps [MR 200] Example: Pumps One and Two can operate as a group and Pumps Three and Four can operate as another group.
Example: The flush valve connects to Relay Four and the watched pump is on Relay One. Parameter Index P170 P171 P172 P173 G G G G Value Description 1 3 10 120 Watch Relay One to count pump cycles. Open the flush valve for 3 cycles. Use the flush value every 10 cycles. Open the flush valve for 120 seconds. Relay Controlled by Communications A relay can be controlled directly by a remote system through communications. No other control schemes can then be used with a relay configured this way.
Rake (Screen) Control [MR 200] This feature is only available on the MultiRanger 200. Screens or rakes are mounted on the inflow channel of the wastewater treatment plant to prevent debris from clogging the equipment. When material builds up on the screen, a level differential is created, and the water level is higher in front of the screen than behind it.

External Totalizers and Flow Samplers [MR 200] This feature is only available on the MultiRanger 200. External totalizers are simple counters which count the number of relay clicks produced by the MultiRanger. This is generally used to keep track of OCM or pumped volume totals. Note that both of these values are also stored in the MultiRanger and are available through communications. Flow samplers are devices which take a sample of liquid when triggered by a relay click.

Exponential (P600 = 1) For most other weir and flume types. PMD exponents provided by the manufacturer are entered. Flow is calculated using the exponent (P601) and the maximum values (P603 and P604).
Many PMDs start flowing higher than the traditional empty distance of the application. You can account for the flow in one of two ways: 1. Use P605 (Zero Head) to have OCM calculations ignore levels below that value. Possible head = P007 minus P605. Note: P603 (Max. Head) is preset to P007 and is not updated when P605 is used.

Testing the Configuration After programming the unit, you must test the device to ensure that it performs to your specifications. This test can be run in simulation mode or by varying the level in the application. The latter is preferred as it more accurately represents running conditions. However, if it is not possible to do a physical test, a simulation will ensure that control programming is correct. In simulation mode, the LCD display reacts to the simulated level changes.

5. 6. Change parameters P610 and P611, as required. Repeat steps 2 to 5 until the flow curve is verified. I/O Checkout After the unit is installed, test to verify the wiring. Relays Discrete Inputs Use P270 to force the input value and verify that the results are as expected.
Monitor system performance carefully, under all anticipated operating conditions. 1. When the MultiRanger performs exactly as required, programming is complete. 2. If alternate Reading units, Failsafe action, or relay operation is desired, update the parameters for the new functionality. 3. If the system performance experiences problems, see General Appendix C: Troubleshooting, on page 231.
MultiRanger Communications MultiRanger Communication Systems The MultiRanger is an integrated level controller capable of communicating process information to a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system, via a serial device such as a radio modem, leased line, or dial-up modem. MultiRanger The standard MultiRanger supports the following two communication protocols: Modbus Modbus is an industry standard protocol used by SCADA and HMI systems.
Communication Systems The MultiRanger is capable of communicating with most SCADA systems, PLCs, and PCs. The supported protocols are: • Modbus RTU/ASCII – base unit on RS-232 or RS-485 transport • PROFIBUS DP – optional SmartLinx® module • Allen-Bradley®1 Remote I/O – optional SmartLinx module • DeviceNet® – optional SmartLinx module Communication Ports The MultiRanger comes with two communication ports on the base unit.

Modbus Register Map Features affecting volume, mA input, and Average or Difference readings apply to the MultiRanger 200 only. They are clearly marked. The memory map of the MultiRanger occupies the Modbus holding registers (R40,001 and up). This map is used when the protocol is Modbus RTU slave or Modbus ASCII slave. Register Map for Most Common Data Legend Type Start Data Type Description #R Read/Write Type The type of data held in the group of registers. The first register to hold the referenced data.

Product ID (R40,064) This value identifies the Siemens device type: Device Type Value MultiRanger 100 MultiRanger 200 6 4 Point Data (R41,010 – R41,031) Measurement point data contain the current instrument readings. These are the values shown for the reading measurement for each measurement point. The reading is based on the setting for P001 (operation). P001 can be set to level, distance, OCM flow, or volume. See Parameter Reference section on page 117 for details.
Discrete Inputs (R41,070) This table shows the current status of the discrete inputs. Only register 41,070 is used. Discrete Input 1 2 Data Address 41,070, bit 1 41,070, bit 2 Relay Outputs (R41,080) This table shows the current status of the relays. A reading of 0 means that the relay function is not asserted and a 1 means that it is asserted. For example, a 1 for a pump relay means that the pump is running.
Pump OFF Setpoint (R41,430 – R41,435) The OFF setpoint level (P113) for the referenced pump relay. The setpoint is scaled from 0 to 10,000 (0 to 100% of span multiplied by 100). So 54.02% is shown in the register as 5402. Pumped Volume (R41,440 – R41,443) [MR 200] The pumped volume registers hold the current total for all of the pumps associated with a level point. These registers are available only if operation is set to pumped volume (P001 = 7). These volumes can become very large.
Parameter Access (R43,998 – R46,999) Parameter values are given as integers in the range of registers from R44,000 to R44,999. The last three numbers of the register correspond to the parameter number. Parameter Register # Format Register # Parameter # 44,000 44,001 44,002 … 44,999 46,000 46,001 46002 … 46,999 P000 P001 P002 … P999 Usually, the parameters are all read / write. Note: • • • Parameters P000 and P999 are read only.
Reading Parameters To read parameter values, follow the steps listed in either the Global or the Parameter Specific Index Method that follow. You must be able to program your HMI or SCADA system before completing these methods. Global Index Method (P782 = 0) Global format method sets index values for all parameters simultaneously. Use this method to read multiple values set to the same index values. 1. Write the primary index value into R43,999.
• from Transducer One Send the integer value 01008 to register 46,921. 2. Read the value from the appropriate parameter register (the example uses 44,921). Types of values are: • Numeric Values on page 107 • Bit Values on page 107 • Split Values on page 108 • Text Messages on page 109 • Relay Function Codes (P111 Only) on page 110 A value of 22,222 indicates that an error occurred. Specify a different format type and try again.
Format Words (R46,000 to R46,999) Format words are unsigned integers that contain up to three values (described below). The number of values used in the format words depends on the Parameter Index Location (P782) that is used. Parameter P782 Parameter Index Location, described on page 96, determines which of two methods is used to access the format words: Global Index Method or Parameter Specific Index Method.
The decimal offset indicates how the remote system must interpret the integer value that is stored in the parameter access register. The following table shows how different parameter values can be shown based on a register value (integer) of 1234. Decimal Offset 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 –1 –2 –3 –4 –5 +1 +2 +3 Percent Example 1,234 12,340 123,400 1,234,000 12,340,000 123,400,000 123.4 12.34 1.234 12.
Data Types Numeric parameter values are the most common. For example, parameter P920 (Reading) returns a number that represents the current reading (either level or volume, depending on the MultiRanger configuration). Numeric values are requested or set in units or percent of span, and may be specified with a number of decimal places. Numeric values must be in the range –20,000 to +20,000 to be valid.
For example, if R41,442 is read as a UINT32, the 32 bits would look like this: Data Types mmmmm R41,442 16 MSW 32 R41,443 1 16 LSW 32-bit integer value (UINT32) 1 1 The two registers are read as a 32-bit integer. The most significant word (MSW) and least significant word (LSW) can be reversed to accommodate some Modbus drivers. See Word Order (R40,062) on page 98 for details. The position of the decimal place is dependent on the register. For more details see the description of the register.

Error Handling Modbus Responses When polled by a Modbus Master, a slave device will do one of the following: Not reply. This means that something went wrong with the transmission of the message. 2. Echo back the command with the correct response (see the Modbus specification for more details). This is the normal response. 3. Return an Exception Code. This reflects an error in the message.
If the host attempts to write one or more registers that are out of range, an exception response code 2 or 3 is generated, depending if the start address is valid. • If the host used an unsupported function code, an exception response code of 01 should be generated. However, this is not guaranteed and there may be no response.
Communication Troubleshooting Generally 1. Check the following: • • • There is power at the unit The LCD is showing the relevant data The device can be programmed using the hand programmer 2. Check the wiring pin outs and verify that the connection is correct. 3. Verify that values in the set-up parameters (P770 to P779) match the settings in the computer used to communicate with the unit. 4. Check that the port on the computer is correct.
Communication Appendix A: Single Parameter Access (SPA) This Appendix is intended to provide someone with advanced communications knowledge the ability to access any parameter value in any available format. Built into MultiRanger is an advanced handshaking area that can be used to read and write single registers to the MultiRanger. This section performs a similar function to the Parameter access section. The differences are: 1. Advanced section is more powerful and harder to program. 2.
Writing Parameters To set parameters through Modbus do the following steps: 1. Send the parameter, its primary index, and its secondary index (usually 0) to registers 40,090, 40,091, and 40,092. 2. Write the value to registers 40,096 and 40,097. 3. Write the desired format word to register 40,093 to enable the MultiRanger to interpret the value correctly.
Error Codes The error codes returned in the format area are 8-bit integers found in the lowest eight bits of the format word. This allows for 256 potential error codes. Currently the MultiRanger has two error codes available.
Parameter Reference The MultiRanger is configured through its parameters, and the application determines the parameter values which are entered into the unit. Please check your value entries carefully before operating the MultiRanger to ensure optimum performance. MultiRanger 100 and MultiRanger 200 All MultiRanger 100 and MultiRanger 200 parameters are listed in this section. MultiRanger 200 parameters are identified separately.

By default: • • Alarm relays have P129 = OFF and so react to the Failsafe Material Level.
Control Functions (P111) Each relay can be configured independently to take advantage of the MultiRanger’s advanced features and flexibility. Start with a preset application and then change the required parameters to make the task more efficient. Setpoints (P112, P113) Each relay is triggered by one or more setpoints. The setpoints can be based on absolute level (P112, P113) or rate of change (P702, P703). Each control function specifies which setpoints are required.
P110 Level Source Sets the level source on which the indexed relay is assigned to a measurement point. Please note that Difference and Average settings are MultiRanger 200 features.

Global View only Name Description This parameter applies to the entire unit This parameter can not be set, only viewed Breakpoint Indexed by breakpoint Dimension Discrete Input Echo Profile Level Point1 mA input1 mA output1 Comm.
Appendix B: Technical Reference Appendix B: Tech Reference mmmmm Transmit Pulse The transmit pulse consists of one or more electrical “shot” pulses, which are supplied to the transducer connected to the MultiRanger terminals. The transducer fires an acoustic “shot” for each electrical pulse supplied. After each shot is fired, sufficient time is provided for echo (shot reflection) reception before the next (if applicable) shot is fired.
TVT (Time Varying Threshold) curves A TVT curve describes a threshold below which any echoes will be ignored. The default TVT curve is used, until P837 and P838 are used to create a new ’learned TVT curve’. Auto False-Echo Suppression False echoes can be caused by an obstruction in the beam path (pipes, ladders, chains, and such). Such false echoes may rise above the default TVT curve.
Distance Calculation To calculate the transducer to material level (object) distance, the transmission medium (atmosphere) sound velocity (P653) is multiplied by the acoustic transmission to reception time period. This result is divided by 2 to calculate the one way distance.
Scanning MultiRanger 100/200 When echo processing is complete (if more than 1 vessel is monitored) the scanning relay changes state to supply the transmit pulse to the other transducer after the Scan Delay (P727). MultiRanger 200 Volume Calculation [MR 200] Please note that the Volume Calculation feature is only available on the MultiRanger 200. The unit provides a variety of volume calculation features (P050 to P055).
Universal, Curved [MR 200] Please note that the Universal, Curved feature is only available on the MultiRanger 200. Set P050 = 10 Appendix B: Tech Reference mmmmm This calculation creates a cubic spline approximation of the level/volume curve, providing best results if the curve is non-linear, and there are no sharp angles.
Universal, Linear [MR 200] Please note that the Universal, Linear feature is only available on the MultiRanger 200. Set P600 = 4. This flow calculation creates a piece-wise linear approximation of the head/flow curve. This option provides best results if the curve has sharp angles joining relatively linear sections. Universal, Curved [MR 200] Please note that the Universal, Curved feature is only available on the MultiRanger 200.
For combination curves, enter at least 2 breakpoints immediately before and after any sharp angle (as well as 1 breakpoint exactly at the angle) on the curve. For more information, go to Typical Flow Characterization on page 83. Maximum Process Speed Appendix B: Tech Reference mmmmm The MultiRanger’s ability to respond to material level changes is designed to exceed even the most demanding installation requirements.
Appendix C: Troubleshooting Note: Many of the parameters and techniques described here require extensive knowledge of ultrasonic technologies and Siemens Milltronics echo processing software. Use this information with caution. If the setup becomes too confusing use P999 to reset and start again. Common Problems Chart Symptom Display blank, transducer No power. not pulsing. Cause No response to program- Obstructed infrared interface, mer. defective programmer.
Noise Problems Incorrect readings can be the result of noise problems, either acoustic or electrical, in the application. The noise present at the input to the ultrasonic receiver can be determined by viewing parameter P807. The display reads ##:##, where the first number is the average noise and the second is the peak noise. In general, the most useful value is the average noise. With no transducer attached the noise is under 5 dB. This is often called the noise floor.
Non-Transducer Noise Sources Remove all input and output cables from the MultiRanger individually while monitoring the noise. If removing a cable reduces the noise, that cable may be picking up noise from adjacent electrical equipment. Check that low voltage cables are not being run adjacent to high voltage cables or near to electrical noise generators such as variable speed drives. Filtering cables is an option but is not recommended unless all other options have been exhausted.
Measurement Difficulties If the Failsafe Timer (P070) expires due to a measurement difficulty, LOE flashes alternately with the last known Reading. In rare cases, the MultiRanger may lock on to a false echo and report a fixed or wrong reading. Flashing LOE Display The loss of echo (LOE) display appears when the echo confidence is below the threshold value set in P805 Echo Confidence. LOE occurs when: • • The echo is lost and no echo is shown above the ambient noise.
To display Echo Confidence in the RUN mode Press and hold for four seconds (Failsafe Time Left changes to the Short:Long Confidence display). To display Echo Confidence in the program mode, access the Echo Confidence (P805) parameter. To update the value displayed after each aiming adjustment.. Press (five times or more to verify stability and overcome any echo lock P711).
larger diameter or shorter length nozzle, bevel the inside of the bottom end, or cut the open end of the nozzle at a 45° angle. See the transducer manual for complete mounting instructions. For ST-series and XPS-10 transducers use the plastic conduit / flange adapter supplied with the unit. If the mounting hardware is over tightened, loosen it. Over tightening changes the resonance characteristics of the transducer and can cause problems.
If multiple echoes appear on the Echo Profile, typical of a flat material profile (especially if the vessel top is domed), use the “first” Algorithm. If the Echo Profile repeatedly switches from short to long, adjust the Short Shot Range (P852) to stabilize the “shot” mode used for the echo evaluation. Also, adjust the Short Shot Bias to increase (or decrease the amount of preference given to short shot echoes over long shot echoes.
Ring down times that extend past the near blanking area can be interpreted by the MultiRanger as the material level and are characterized by a steady high level being reported. Unit Repair and Excluded Liability All changes and repairs must be done by qualified personnel and applicable safety regulations must be followed. Please note the following: • • Appendix C: Troubleshooting mmmmm • • The user is responsible for all changes and repairs made to the device.
Appendix D: Pump Control Reference Please note that some pump control features apply to the MultiRanger 200 only. The MultiRanger has the pump control strategies to solve nearly any water / wastewater application. This section details these strategies for engineers requiring in-depth knowledge of the system and how it operates.
All of these algorithms can be used to start multiple pumps (assist) or one pump at a time (backup). The MultiRanger 100 and MultiRanger 200 have three main methods of pump control: Fixed Starts pumps based on individual setpoints and always starts the same pumps in the same sequence. Alternate Starts pumps based on the duty schedule and always leads with a new pump. Service Ratio Starts pumps based on user-defined ratio of running time.
The following table shows relay status when each setpoint is reached. Setpoints Relays Index On 3 On 2 On 1 Off 0 1 Off Off On Off 2 Off On Off Off 3 On Off Off Off Alternate Duty Assist (P111 = 52) Alternates the lead pump each time the material level cycles and runs all pumps together. Relay Operation (for P118 = 2) The setpoints associated with the relays are grouped so that they can be rotated. Setpoint one does not relate directly to relay one.
Relay Table Setpoints Cycle 1 Relays 1 Off Off On Off On 3 On 2 On 1 0ff 0 Setpoints Cycle 2 3 On Off Off Off Relays 1 On 3 On 2 On 1 Off 0 Cycle 3 Setpoints 2 Off On Off Off On Off Off Off 1 Off On Off Off On 3 On 2 On 1 Off 0 2 Off Off On Off Relays 2 On Off Off Off 3 Off On Off Off 3 Off Off On Off Service Ratio Duty Assist (P111 = 54) [MR 200] Selects the lead pump based on number of hours each pump has run and the specified ratios that each pump requires.
Service Ratio Duty Backup (P111 = 55) [MR 200] Selects the lead pump based on number of hours each pump has RUN and the specified ratios that each pump requires. Only one pump can RUN at a time. Please note that this feature applies to the MultiRanger 200 only. This algorithm is the same as Service Ratio Duty Assist except that it will only RUN one pump at a time. When the next pump in the sequence starts, the previous pump stops.
Flush Device (P170 to P173) Appendix D: Pump Control mmmmm Operates a flush valve or special flush device based on the number of pump starts, usually to aerate wet well wastewater.
Appendix E: Updating Software Updating Software To update the software in the MultiRanger, please contact your Siemens Milltronics representative to obtain the software. For a complete list of representatives, go to www.siemens.com/processautomation. WARNINGS: 1. All parameter values will be lost during software upgrade. Record your current parameters manually or using Dolphin Plus or SIMATIC PDM before upgrade. 2.
Appendix F: Upgrading mmmmm Appendix F: Upgrading The following procedure will assist you if you are upgrading from a MultiRanger Plus to a MultiRanger 100 or MultiRanger 200. If the application is unchanged, copy down the parameters in the MultiRanger Plus before de-commissioning the unit. Mounting a MultiRanger 100/200 Please read the MultiRanger Installation section on page 8 before mounting the new MultiRanger 100/200. Make sure the power is OFF to the unit before following these steps: 1. 2.
Connecting a transducer with RG62 coaxial extension cable RG62 coaxial cable has been used to make the extension. The level controller might be a MultiRanger Plus, HydroRanger, HydroRanger Plus or one of our other level controllers. Transducer MultiRanger 100/200 Installation (for retrofitting MultiRanger Plus Installations) Connect with a 0.1µF (100v or greater) capacitor (included with MultiRanger) between the shield and negative terminals.
Appendix F: Upgrading mmmmm MultiRanger Plus to MultiRanger 100/200 Parameters The MultiRanger 100/200 uses the current Siemens Milltronics standard parameter set which is different than the parameter numbers used in the MultiRanger Plus. The MultiRanger Plus parameters numbers are sequential (P-0 to P-99). The MultiRanger 100/200 parameters number are also sequential; however, some of the parameters are indexed. Parameters are indexed when they apply to more than one input or output.
