Heartbeat Monitoring
Availability
Available for the following options of feature 540 "Application Package":
EH: Heartbeat Verifi 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.
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.
