Magnesonics MSP100

SMART 2-Wire Level Transmitter - See Model Configuration Page
OPERATION

Ultrasonic pulses are transmitted from the transmitter face and arc reflected from the surface of the product and received back by the same transmitter. A measurement of the time delay between the transmitted and received signals enables the microprocessor controlled electronics to calculate the level. From this the microprocessor can deduce contents in any volume units required or the flow of liquid through a flume or over a value.

This transmitter provides all the benefits of remote communications for interrogation, configuration and monitoring of field instruments. Changing the operation parameters in order to accommodate different or changing site conditions is easily achieved using the Hand Held Communicator, or the Magnesonics l1-View configuration software. Either method connects directly to the MSP 100 or at any point on the 2-wire loop, making data access and parameter changes simple and convenient. During configuration the 4-20mA output from the MSP100 is not affected in any way, ensuring a continuous and uninterrupted output.

DESCRIPTION

The 'SMART' MSP100 is the latest addition to the industry proven and widely accepted MSP family. Designed for a wide range of applications including liquid level contents measurement and open channel flow measurement, when the requirement is a processed 4-20mA output proportional to the measured value.

The 'SMART' MSP100 Transmitter provides all the benefits of remote measurement and digital signal processing in one self-contained unit. 'This combination of level measurement and microprocessor control takes the lead in ultrasonic measurement technology, making the MSP100 the ideal choice for tank contents measurement and inventory control, particularly on multi-tank sites.

 
MSP100 PRODUCT RANGE
The MSP100 Sonapulse transmitter is available in three versions, PVC as standard. PTFE for wet­side protection, and PVC for long range applications. For improved accuracy, the M SP 100 incorporates a temperature sensor for automatic compensation of speed of sound changes, due to temperature variations in the ullage.
 
MSP100 - S12
PVC faced transmitter for (general purpose industrial applications. Supplied with either flanged or universal bracket mounting.
 
MSP100 -S22
PTFE faced transmitter for applications with corrosive liquids. A solid PTFE flange provides full protection against corrosive liquids or vapors in these applications.
 
MSP100 - S42
PVC faced transmitter for use on longer range applications, or where liquids have poor reflective properties.
 
H-VIEW SOFTWARE

Simply connect the HART modem to your PC, load the program from the diskettes supplied and Magnesonics H-View is operational. On start up, the HART network is automatically scanned and all connected instruments are identified. Once this process is complete, the configuration data is stored locally on the PC hard disk and a network topology map is created, showing the instruments together with their Tag identifiers.

Any instrument can now be selected and the dynamic Process Variable shown. When used with KDG Magnesonics manufactured instrument, all of the instrument variables and parameters can be displayed and configured, while other HART instruments will show only Universal data such as Process Variable, Tag etc.

 
MSP100 SONAPULSE HAND HELD COMMUNICATOR:

The MSP 1011 Hand Held Communicator (HHC) extends the capability and versatility of the MSP100 ' SMART' transmitter, allowing an extensive range of functions to be performed including programming, interrogation and readout display. The HHC is menu driven, making programming easy with step-by-step prompts to guide the user through the process. Fully portable, the pocket-size HHC is simply connected across the loop at any convenient access point.

For additional convenience the program can be configured in the HCC off-line while not connected to the 4-20rnA loop, then later downloaded into the MSP100 Sonapulse, either directly or from any point on the loop when on-site. Only one HHC is required for any number of MSP100 Sonapulse transmitters.

 
FEATURES
Readout display Display

Display of processed measurement reading, providing display in units to suit the application. Percentage full scale. liquid level. ullage space and loop mA current can also be displayed.

 
Current output (span)
Ability to set or change the span of the 4-20mA current output, as required by the application.
 
Profiling
Programming the shape of the tank or flow profile into the A4SP 100 Sonapulse gives an output proportional to contents or flow rate.
 
Diagnostics
The MSP100 performance can be easily assessed by interrogation of certain parameters, providing values of, for example, echo strength and success rate.
 
Engineering adjustments
Diagnostic readings or changing site conditions may necessitate the changing of certain engineering parameters to achieve the optimum performance for the particular application. These parameters include blanking distance, smoothing time and lost echo delay/action.
 
OPTIONS
For applications where all the site conditions are known and do not vary, the MSP100 can be factory programmed. This option requires a simple questionnaire to be completed, detailing the specific program requirements. Consult the sales office for further details (address on back page). Intrinsically safe model HHC available for Zone `O' use. This programmer is approved EX is for all hazardous areas and safe area use.
