Siemens introduces Sitrans LR560

EM NEWS BUREAU ,  Thursday, April 21, 2011, 12:36 Hrs  [IST]

Untitled - 17.jpgSiemens Industry Automation Division announced has launched Sitrans LR560, believed to be the world's first 78GHz (W-Band) microwave radar level transmitter for solids level measurement. Siemens Sitrans LR560 combines level measuring with superior accuracy in tough environments, with intelligent signal processing for optimum performance at all operating stages, a release from Siemens said.

The Sitrans LR560 transmitter is equipped with a newly developed lensstyle antenna and uses non-contacting frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar technology. This new design is unrivaled in the instrumentation market today, and its benefits will be realized by industrial processes such as cement powder, plastic powder/pellets, grain, coal, wood powder and fly ash.

Sitrans LR560's plug and play performance is ideal for most solids applications, including those with extreme dust and high temperatures to +200ºC (+392ºF). Its unique design allows safe and simple programming using the intrinsically safe handheld programmer without having to open the instrument's lid.

Sitrans LR560 is available with HART®, PROFIBUS PA, or FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus protocol. Programming is supported locally with pushbuttons or with an infrared handheld programmer. The unique lens antenna is highly resistant to material build-up and a built-in purge system is included for cleaning exceptionally sticky solids material. The high frequency operation makes aiming unnecessary, but the optional aiming flange helps direct the beam to an area of specific interest, such as the discharge area of a silo cone. The innovative functionality of the Sitrans LR560 makes it the best performing instrument for dusty solids applications, the release added.
