Signal processing with fieldexperienceSiemens level measurement instruments come withextensive field experience. Siemens Milltronicsdeveloped the signal processing technology for levelinstruments based on the experience of a millioninstruments in industrial applications.
With this experience, we understand the importance
of reliability, and we know what it takes to make atrusted and accurate level instrument for demandingapplications. Thats why our engineers invented SonicIntelligence and Auto False-Echo Processing, andthats why these instruments carry so many patents.With Siemens Milltronics you get the experience of amillion applications in one instrument.
Sonic IntelligenceOur patented Sonic Intelligence signal processingtechnology was developed using knowledge providedby our field service engineers from real applicationdata. Siemens Milltronics instruments offer the unique
advantage of this technology. Sonic Intelligencedifferentiates between true echoes from the materialand false echoes from obstructions or electrical noise.The sophisticated software is continuously updatedand supported by field data gained from more than500,000 ultrasonic and radar level applications. Thisin-depth knowledge and experience is built into thesoftwares advanced algorithms to provide intelligentprocessing of echo profiles. The result is repeatable,fast, and reliable measurement you can trust.

Flow Reporter
Flow Reporter is a Windows-basedconfiguration software and data extractorfor use with the Milltronics OCM III OpenChannel Meter.
Froma remote PC, it permits you to:
Monitor and troubleshoot flow readingscollected by the OCM III View and modify parameters Connect to OCM III either directly or with a
modem host computer can be any distancefrom the flowmeter
Seek out specific data using the relationaldatabase
Upload data logs from the OCM III Review past and present data logs in a database

spreadsheet program Print daily or monthly reports
Dolphin Plus
Dolphin Plus is instrument configurationsoftware for: SITRANS LU SITRANS LUC500
It helps you configure, monitor, tune and
diagnose most Siemens Milltronics instrumentseither remotely from your desktop PC orconnected directly in the field using a laptop.Just load the software from the CD and inminutes you can set up or modify completeparameter configurations for single or multipleinstruments in the Windows environment.After configuration, you can edit parameters onthe fly, upload and download parameter sets toand from disk, and use parameter sets saved fromother instruments. You can also work with echoprofiles for fine-tuning without the need forspecial instruments.

Remote datamonitoring withLevelwatch.com
Levelwatch.com unlocks data at remote sitesand distributes it for use in making businessdecisions. Using measuring equipment such asultrasonic, capacitance, radar or other instruments,readings are taken at the remote site.
A Levelwatch.com unit connects this field data
using landline or satellite to a secure web site.The system monitors status, tracks trends, andsends alarms directly to designated personnel byphone, fax, page, or e-mail. Alarm details areavailable on-line.
Levelwatch.com provides the tools for a value-added inventory management service asvendors monitor customer inventory levelsand can anticipate demand and optimizedelivery schedules. Manufacturers can alsomonitor bulk material levels to ensure asupply for continuous production, with nomore running out or emergency deliveries.
Siemens Milltronics products can be connectedvia their Modbus ports, allowing access to keyoperational parameters, such as pump setpoints,and pump or flow totalizers.
SIMATIC PDM software
S IMATIC PDM (Process Device Manager) is amanufacturer-independent software tool for theoperation, configuration, parameterization,maintenance and diagnosis of intelligent fieldinstruments. Based on the EDD standard, it can beused independent of a specific automation systemvia a PC or programming device or as an integral partof the SIMATIC PCS 7 process automation system.
Core functions include:
Set-up and modification of parameters Comparison Plausibility checks Data management Commissioning functions
SIMATIC PDM offers communications via HART,PROFIBUS DP, PROFIBUS PA or other protocols.
See www.siemens.com for up-to-date product list.
HART
HART is a serial transfer protocol which is usedto transfer additional parameter data, such asmeasurement range, configuration, to theconnected device through a 4 to 20 mA powerloop. The main process variable is transmitted viathe 4 to 20 mA power loop. SIMATIC PDM can usethis protocol to communicate configuration datato an instrument. Siemens Milltronics offers HARTas an option on many of our level products.
