3.2
SITRANS Probe LR system implementation
SITRANS Probe LR supports HART communication protocol and SIMATIC PDM software.
Typical PLC/mA configuration with HART
①
Power supply
Depending on the system design, the power supply may be separate from the PLC, or integral to
it.
A 250 Ohm resistor may be required if the loop resistance is less than 250 Ohms.
②
Active PLC
③
HART modem
④
HART communicator
Programming
SITRANS Probe LR carries out its level measurement function according to the set of built-in
parameters. You can make parameter changes via the handheld programmer, via a PC
using SIMATIC PDM, or via a HART Handheld Communicator.
