摘要: A guided wave radar level measurement instrument comprises a probe defining a transmission line for sensing material level. A probe interface circuit is connected to the probe for generating pulses on the transmission line and receiving reflected signals from the transmission line. The probe interface circuit comprises a transmit pulse generator for generating a transmit pulse, a sample pulse generator for generating a sample pulse, and a delay lock loop for controlling the transmit and sample pulse generators. The delay lock loop is controlled by a pulse repetition frequency having a duty cycle less than 50%.

摘要: A loop powered process instrument comprises a control system measuring a process variable and developing a measurement signal representing the process variable. A two-wire circuit, for connection to a remote power source using a two-wire process loop, controls current on the loop in accordance with the measurement signal. A power supply with galvanic isolation is connected to the two-wire circuit and the control system to isolate the two-wire circuit from the control system. The power supply receives power from the two-wire process loop and supplies power to the control system. The power supply comprises a voltage regulator receiving loop power and developing a regulated output voltage. A current switching circuit receives the regulated output voltage and drives a primary of a transformer. A secondary of the transformer is coupled to the control system. A voltage shift control includes an isolator circuit driven by the control system for controlling voltage supplied by the voltage regulator.

The modem circuit is operatively connected to the communication circuit and includes a modulation input port and a modulation output port. The loop output circuit receives a measurement signal from the loop control circuit and is connected to the modulation input port. A two-wire circuit is for connection to a remote power source using a two-wire process loop. A power supply with isolation is connected to the two-wire circuit and the loop output circuit to isolate the two-wire circuit from the control system. The power supply receives power from the two-wire process loop and supplies power to the control system and draws loop current on the two-wire process loop in accordance with the measurement signal and provides the modulation output on the loop current. A bypass circuit with isolation is connected between the two-wire circuit and the modem circuit modulation input port for providing input modulated signals to the modem circuit bypassing the power supply.

摘要: A process measurement instrument including a fiducial and adapted for detection of the fiducial. The instrument comprises an interface circuit comprising a drive circuit for transmitting a pulse signal at the fiducial and at a target of interest and a receive circuit receiving reflected echoes of the pulse signal and developing an analog receive signal representative of the reflected echoes. A signal processing circuit is operatively coupled to the interface circuit for receiving the analog receive signal and determining characteristics of reflected echoes for the fiducial and the target of interest. The controller is operatively coupled to the signal processing circuit and includes a diagnostic routine responsive to the characteristics of the reflected echo for the fiducial in determining if a fiducial error condition exists.
