The copied data are permanently saved in an EEPROM memory in
the display and adjustment module and remain there even in case of
a power failure. From there, they can be written into one or more sen
-
sors or kept as backup for a possible sensor exchange.
Note:
Before the data are copied into the sensor, a check is carried out to
determine if the data fit the sensor. If the data do not fit, a fault signal
is triggered. When data are being written into the sensor, the display
shows which instrument type the data originate from and which TAG
number this sensor had.

6.4 Parameter adjustment - Summation Slave
To measure the level in very high vessels, multiple instruments can be
cascaded.
Cascading means that two or several instruments are connected
which can together cover a longer measuring range.
The instrument acts as Master and all other instruments operate as
Slaves.
The pulse rates of all instruments are summed in the Master instru
-
ment and converted into a common signal.
First of all, define the function of the Slave instruments before you
define the Master instrument. The Master instrument can thus imme
-
diately recognize the connected Slaves.
For this, the Slave instruments must be defined as "Summation
Slave". Select under the menu item "
Setup/Application
" the function
"Summation Slave".
