Description
Product Positioning
-
Product Series: DLC3000 series digital level controllers—microprocessor-based instruments for level, interface, and density measurement with communication capabilities.
-
Design Objective: Direct replacement for standard pneumatic and electronic level transmitters.
Core Functions
| Function | Details |
|---|---|
| Measured Parameters | Level, interface, and density; supports process temperature measurement for temperature compensation |
| Communication Protocol | HART protocol (1200 baud FSK); supports field or remote data access through a Type 275 HART communicator or AMS ValveLink software |
| Signal Input | Rotational movement of the torque-tube shaft caused by changes in displacer buoyancy (level/interface/density signal); 2- or 3-wire 100-ohm platinum RTD interface (temperature signal) |
| Signal Output | - Analog: 4~20mA DC, selectable direct or reverse action; high saturation: 20.5mA; low saturation: 3.8mA; high alarm: 22.5mA; low alarm: 3.7mA (only one alarm is active; high alarm complies with Namur NE 43) - Digital: HART protocol signal |
| Operating Modes | Point-to-point mode (analog and digital signals transmitted simultaneously); multidrop mode (fixed 4mA analog output with digital communication only) |
Hardware Compatibility
- Compatible Sensors: Can be installed on Fisher 249 series level sensors with or without an external displacer.
Key Technical Specifications
| Specification | Details |
|---|---|
| HART Impedance Requirements | Total shunt impedance, excluding the host device and transmitter: 230~1100 ohms; transmitter receiving impedance: Rx=42K ohms, Cx=14nF |
| Temperature Compensation | Supports compensation for specific gravity changes through RTD measurement or user-entered target temperature |
