Introduction
The HCU board can be used to replace the following optional boards: + TPU(-2) board (restricted to Pt100 RTDs only) + MPU board (for average temperature measurement, restricted to MTT or VITO probes only) + HPU board (for average temperature measurement, restricted to MTT or VITO probes only) + HSU board (for temperature measurement, restricted to Pt100 RTDs only)

Note:
Read carefully the installation guide of the HCU board before starting to replace the existing option board.

1.4.1 Replacement or adding optional board in 854 ATG or 854 XTG servo gauges
The HCU optional board requires an XPU-2 board in the 854 ATG and 854 XTG servo gauges. If there is no XPU-2 board installed, then the installed XPU (or XPU-1) board must be replaced by an XPU-2 board.

Notes:
1 When the HCU board is used to replace an optional board with average temperature measurement, please note the following: The 863 MRT with 862 MIR or the 864 MTT with 862 MIT temperature connection cannot be maintained. + The 864 MTT can be connected to the 762 VITO Interface which interfaces to the HCU board. + The 863 MRT cannot be connected to the 762 VITO Interface. 2 The optional data transmission channel on the XPU-2 (i.s. channel for 977 TSI or RS-232C/RS-485 channel) is only possible when backplane-2 is installed. Backplane-2 is standard installed in instruments + 854 ATG with series number: 854-20-400 and higher; + 854 XTG with series number: 894-02-001 and higher.

Spot temperature measurement

Spot temperature measurement

2.1 Introduction
A standard Pt100 spot element (RTD) can be measured and its temperature is interpret by the HCU and ICU_HPI board as product temperature. The temperature measurement is intrinsically safe, certified EEx ia IIB. Principle of operation The temperature measurement is based on a 3-wire RTD configuration. Only the ICU_HPI board has the option for a 4-wire RTD configuration. The resistance measurement for 3-wire configuration is performed in the following steps:
+ + + +

The spot element is measured, including the cable resistance The cable resistance is measured separately, and subtracted from the element resistance to avoid influence of the cabling on the temperature measurement Next, the system constant is determined. This is done by measuring an accurate reference resistance (Rref) 0.01% + 2 ppm/C (-40 85C) In order to check the Rref, a test resistor (Rtest) is measured. This resistor has the same accuracy as the reference resistor

These four measurements are performed with and without current to compensate for any thermo or offset voltage in the measuring circuit. The temperature data is displayed (when a display is present) as product temperature and transmitted to the host.

Average temperature measurement

3.1 Introduction
An Enraf average temperature probe can be: a 764 VITO temperature probe; a 766 VITO water and temperature probe; a 864 MTT.

Depending on the type of 764 VITO temperature probe, there are 15 or 16 spot elements (thermocouples) equally spaced over the measuring range. The temperature measurement is based on thermocouples (spots) and one Pt100 reference resistor. The measuring range is defined as: distance from reference resistor to position highest element. Refer to figure 3.1. A This model has the reference resistor located close to the lower end of the probe. There are 16 spots, equally divided over the measuring range; B Here, the reference resistor is placed at 1 m (3ft3) from the lower end of the probe. One spot is located close to the lower end of the probe to measure temperature at low levels. With this model, there are 15 spots, equally divided over the measuring range; C This is a 766 VITO temperature and water probe. For temperature measurement, this model is equal to B; D This model of 766 VITO temperature and water sensor has 16 spots, equally divided over the measuring range. Hence, there is no spot at the lower end of the water probe.

Figure 3.1 VITO temperature probes & MTT

Using the Enraf average temperature probes (764 VITO temperature probe, 766 VITO water and temperature probe or the 864 MTT) a 762 VITO Interface is required. This 762 VITO Interface is powered by the level gauge (or 877 FDI) over the same two wires as the HART communication takes place to the level gauge. In the level gauge, or 877 FDI, the temperature is calculated. The temperature of all spots immersed in the liquid, are averaged for product temperature calculation. All spots above the liquid surface are used to calculate the average gas temperature. With the temperature (and water) probe models, which have a spot below the reference resistor, that spot temperature is not used in the average product temperature calculations. Its temperature is only used when the product level drops below 1 m (location of reference resistor) to provide the user with a temperature value. However, with status: level exceeds lowest spot element; item MQ, bit 3 of byte 1 is set).

Average temperature measurement 3.2 Commissioning of average temperature measurement


The wiring sequence of all blue thermocouple wires is only measured once at start-up and the information is stored in the HCU / ICU_HPI memory. The time required to complete all 15 thermocouple measurements after powering up the instrument is approximately 2 minutes. The commissioning of the optional average temperature part of the HCU or ICU_HPI board should be performed after the basic commissioning of the level gauge or indicator.

3.2.1 Average temperature settings


Before programming the temperature data, the sensitive length and the offset of the temperature probe must be known. The sensitive length is equal to the measuring range. Standard, the measuring ranges are:
+ + +

for 764 VITO temperature probe (model code: . . . . 764B<ol><he>) for 864 MTT for other VITO temperature (and water) probe

: overall length - 700 mm; : overall length - 700 mm; : overall length - 1700 mm.

Other (smaller) measuring ranges (sensitive lengths) are possible; check on identification label of the VITO probe (or MTT) for the position of the highest element (last 4 digits; units: cm). The offset is the distance from the lowest element to the tanks zero point (datum plate). The 764 VITO temperature sensor and 766 water and temperature sensor can have the lowest element on different places. This is identified on the instrument label:
+ + + +

. . . . 764A <ol><he> . . . . 764B <ol><he> .A . . 766B <ol><he> .A . . 766A <ol><he>

lowest element at 0.065 m from lower end of probe; lowest element at 0.065 m from lower end of probe; lowest element at 0.065 m from lower end of probe; lowest element at 1 m from lower end of probe.

With the 864 MTT, the lowest element is at 0.065 m from lower end of probe.

Note:
In the model code given above a dot . represents any character, the notation <ol> means: overall length (4 positions) and the notation <he> means: position of highest element (4 positions). The notation <sl> means: sensitive length (4 positions) and is only used with 864 MTT. The position of the lowest element can also be verified by requesting the VITO device type & s/w version by means of items VP and VV, provided you know if a 764 VITO sensor is connected, or a 864 MTT.

Water bottom measurement

Water bottom measurement

4.1 Introduction
The water bottom probe is based on a capacitive measurement principle. The probe is one plate of the capacitor and earthed, electrically conducting parts as water and the tank shell, is the other plate. A change in water level is detected by the water bottom probe as a change in capacitance.

4.1.1 Water probe versions


There are three different water probe versions which can be interfaced: the 765 VITO water probe; the 766 VITO water and temperature probe; the external HART water bottom probe (Side mounted water probe or 964 WaterScout). The 765 VITO water probe and 766 VITO water and temperature probe are connected to the 762 VITO Interface, which is connected to the HCU board or ICU_HPI board. The external water bottom probe is connected to HART input 2 (same input where pressure transmitters are connected).

Figure 4.1 VITO water probes, Side mounted water probe & 964 WaterScout Refer to figure 4.1. A) 765 VITO water probe Can be delivered in three sensitive lengths for the water measurement: 0.5 m, 1.0 m and 2.0 m. B) 766 VITO water and temperature probe There is one sensitive length for the water measurement: 0.5 m. C) 964 WaterScout (previous model) With the introduction of the VITO family, the 964 WaterScout has become obsolete. It can, however, be connected to the HCU / ICU_HPI option board D) Side mounted water probe

Instruction manual Temperature, Water bottom and Analog output options

Page 23

Water bottom measurement 4.1.2 Principle of measurement


When correctly calibrated, the capacitance value given in PV LRV (Primary Variable Lower Range Value) is the capacitance measured by the probe when no water is present (sensitive part of probe completely immersed in product). The capacitance value given in PV URV (Primary Variable Upper Range Value) is the capacitance measured by the probe when the sensitive part of probe completely immersed in water.

Note:
The 765 and 766 VITO water probes uses items VR and VT to store the minimum and maximum capacitance values. The measured capacitance by the water probe has a linear function with the water level. Hence, the water level is calculated as: Water level  PV  PV LRV sensitive length probe  water probe bottom position PV URV  PV LRV

where:

PV = the measured capacitance by the water probe; with VITO water sensor, item MX is used PV LRV = the minimum capacitance (0% water); with VITO water probe, item VR is used PV URV = the maximum capacitance (100% water); with VITO water probe, item VT is used

or, LW  MX  VR WP  WB VT  VR

where:

LW WP WB

= water level = water probe length = water probe bottom position

4.2 Commissioning measurements


The purpose of these calibration measurements is to determine the water probe offset and a control measurement for the water level. With these measurements the product level is used as a horizontal line between the point where the tank zero point is located and the point where the water probe is installed.

Page 24

Water bottom measurement 4.2.1 Commissioning measurements with roof suspended probes

Figure 4.2 Calibration measurements for water probe If the commissioning takes place directly after installation, the measurements at the probe position in figure 4.2 have already been made if the instructions are followed from the installation guide. Otherwise, that measurement should be made now, by partly removing the probe to enable a measuring tape to be lowered from the nozzle. The following values are obtained: Nozzle height Product level at water probe location Water level at water probe location From these measurements, calculate the ullage value A: A = Nozzle height - product level at water probe location The next step is to fetch the product level with respect to the tank zero point. This can be done in several ways: Read the level from the level gauge if that has recently been checked (calibrated); Take a manual innage measurement to the datum plate of the tank; Take a manual ullage measurement from the Upper Reference Point and calculate the level by: level = URP - ullage. Refer to figure 4.2. At the bottom part of the probe there is an inactive metal part with a height of 25 mm (1"). That is represented as distance B . The offset, which has to be programmed in item WB, can be found from: WB = (A + product level at reference point) - (Nozzle height - B)

Note:
If WB is a negative figure then it is possible to have a negative water level reading.

Calibrating the water probe Refer to Appendix C for information about calibrating the water probe. Where is mentioned the water dip, refer to the measured water level at the probe position as described before.

Page 25

Water bottom measurement 4.2.2 Commissioning measurements for side mounted probes

Figure 4.3 Calibration measurements for side mounted probe From the probe installation must be known: + Active length of probe + Total length of probe + Angle of installation () + Height H of nozzle The water probe length (WP) can be calculated as: WP = active length of probe x cos() Offset (WB) can be calculated as: WB = H - (total length x cos()) When the water bottom measurement has no relation to the tank zero, the offset WB can be used as water probe bottom position. If the water bottom measurement is related to the tank zero, then the water probe bottom position (WB) can be determined when the probe is immersed in some water. The reading of the probe is taken; item LW. A manual water dip is taken from the tank zero point (datum plate); note this value as W . Calculate the water probe bottom position WB as: WB = W - LW Calibrating the water probe Refer to Appendix D for information about calibrating the water probe. Where is mentioned the water dip, refer to the measured water level at the probe position as described above.

Analog level output

Analog level output

5.1 Introduction
The analog level output circuit is an option which can be installed on the HCU board. The HCU board is an option board for the 854 servo gauges, the 873 SmartRadar gauge an the 877 FDI. For the 973 SmartRadar LT, the analog level output is available with the optional ICU_HPO board. The analog output circuit on the HCU and ICU_HPO optional boards are galvanically separated from the gauge electronics. This section (analog level output) describes the settings for analog level output for both the HCU and ICU_HPO board. For the HART communication of the ICU_HPO board, refer to instruction manual 973 SmartRadar LT HART communication output.

5.1.1 HCU analog output characteristics


The analog output is passive, hence an external power supply is required. The voltage of the loop supply should be at least 12 Vdc, and may not exceed 64 Vdc (measured at the terminals of the gauge). The loop resistance is the total resistance from the loop, and hence includes supply output resistance, total cable resistance (including series resistor) and the input resistance from reader or analog input. To reduce the power dissipation on the HCU board, an external resistor must be wired in series with the loop in case the loop supply voltage is higher than 30 Vdc (refer to figure 5.1A). The power rating of the external resistance depends on the value; we recommend: 1W/k.

5.1.2 ICU_HPO analog output characteristics


The analog output can be set either passive or active(refer to section 5.2.1). When set to active, the supply voltage in the loop is: 20 Vdc (5%). The voltage of the loop supply should be at least 8 Vdc, and may not exceed 64 Vdc (measured at the terminals of the gauge). Supply voltages over 30 Vdc require an external series resistor (refer to figure 5.1B).

Note:

HART communication requires a minimum loop resistance of 250 . The maximum loop resistance for HART communication is 1100 .

This implies that for HART communication the minimum supply voltage is 14 Vdc and the maximum supply voltage is 36 Vdc with a 250 resistor. With a higher external supply voltage, the series resistor must be increased. With the maximum resistor for HART communication (1100 ), the maximum loop supply will be 57 Vdc. The power rating of the external resistance depends on the value; we recommend: 1W/k.

Analog level output 5.2 Commissioning of analog level output 5.2.1 Setting of analog output 973 SmartRadar LT to active
Setting the analog output loop to active or passive is done by selecting the correct connector on the ICU_HPO board. Standard, the SmartRadar LTs are delivered with the analog output loop set as passive. Hence, an external supply voltage is required. When the analog loop should be set to active, the connector on the ICU_HPO board needs to be changed from position. That procedure is described below. 1 2 3 4 5 6 Switch off mains power from the SmartRadar LT; Open electronic compartment cover; Locate the ICU_HPO board (refer to figure 5.2); Loosen the cable connector from connector CN 1 (passive), and plug it into CN 2 (active); Close electronic compartment cover; Apply mains power.

Analog level output 5.2.3 Calibrate analog output circuit


Calibration of the analog output circuit is necessary when the XPU NOVRAM is (re)formatted and the items could not be down loaded from a log file or when a new HCU / ICU_HPO board is installed. Of course, calibration can also be performed as a routine to be sure having a good signal. Connect a power supply (15 - 24 Vdc) and an accurate mA meter (accuracy better than 10 A) to the instrument (refer to figure 5.3).

Note:
The 973 SmartRadar LT can be set to active. Then no external power supply is required. The procedure described below can be used with the HCU board in the 854 servo gauges, 873 SmartRadar and 877 FDI. Figure 5.3 Test loop for calibrating analog output circuit

Configuration procedure for 964 WaterScout

The WaterScout is a capacitive water probe. The situation at 0% water level means: sensitive part of the WaterScout totally immersed in product. The measured capacitance in this situation must correspond with the PV LRV value. The measured capacitance depends, among other quantities, on the dielectric constant of the product. The WaterScout has been pre-calibrated in the factory, however not in the product, but in air. Therefore, it is required to determine the PV LRV value in the actual measured product. The PV LRV can be programmed by two ways: 1 By means of the command selection switch and command push button 2 By means of the HART Communicator model 275

1 PV LRV setting with command push button


Make sure the WaterScout is properly installed (refer to installation guide 964 WaterScout). Check by means of a hand dip that no water is found at the sensitive part of the WaterScout and the product level is such that it covers the entire sensitive part. If there is water found with in the sensitive part, then follow the procedure with the HART communicator. If this is not possible, the WaterScout has to be lifted until the sensitive part is not anymore immersed in water. Take care that the ground connection is still maintained; this is not only required for safety, but also required for a good measurement. Apply power to the instrument to which the WaterScout is connected and wait for approximately 2 minutes. 1 Open cover of WaterScout transmitter box 2 Set command selection switch (2) in position 1 (most left position) 3 Press command push button (1) at least for 1 second 4 Set command selection switch back in position 4 (most right position) 5 Close cover from WaterScout transmitter box. Command push button

Caution
If the command selection switch (2) and/or the command push button (1) are operated accidentally, or in the wrong way, the calibration data (PV LRV or PV URV) are lost.

Appendix 2 PV LRV setting with HART Communicator


Make sure the WaterScout is installed properly (refer to installation guide 964 WaterScout). Check by means of a hand dip the water level. If there is no water found, or the water level is below the sensitive part of the WaterScout, the measured capacitance (PV) is used as the value for PV LRV. If there is water found within the sensitive part of the WaterScout, an interpolation is applied on the measured capacitance to find the capacitance value at zero water level. Refer to figure: manual measurement of water level. The interpolation of the capacitance value is done as follows: % water  water level  25 mm  offset 100 % sensitive length

Example: % water  125  25  0 100  20 % 500 Manual measurement of water level To calculate the PV LRV value, the actual PV (actual measured capacitance) and the PV URV capacitance with 100% water level) should be known. These two values can be read by the HART communicator. Another way is to request for item PV at the instrument. This item hold the measured capacitance in pF. The PV URV is also printed on the test form supplied with the WaterScout. The PV LRV is then calculated as follows: PV LRV  PV URV  PV URV  PV 100 100  % water

Example: PV LRV  1000  1000  840 100  800 pF 100  20

Proceed as follows: Apply power to the instrument to which the WaterScout is connected and wait for approximately 2 minutes. 1 Enter protection level 2 of the instrument.

Note:
If the 847 PET is used, it is advised to disable the keyboard time-out function of the PET.

Configuration procedure for 765 / 766 VITO water probe

Make sure the VITO water (temperature) probe is installed properly (refer to installation guide VITO) Check by means of a hand dip the water level. If there is no water found, or the water level is below the sensitive part of the VITO water probe, the measured capacitance is used as the value for item VR. If there is water found within the sensitive part of the VITO water probe, an interpolation is applied on the measured capacitance to find the capacitance value at zero water level. Refer to figure: manual measurement of water level. The interpolation of the capacitance value is done as follows: % water  water level  25 mm  offset 100 % sensitive length

Example: % water  125  25  0 100  20 % 500 Manual measurement of water level To calculate the value for item VR (minimum capacitance), the actual measured capacitance (item MX) and the maximum capacitance (item VT) should be known. These two values can be read by the PET or via the service program from the instrument. The minimum capacitance value is then calculated as follows: Example: VT  MX 1000  840 100 VR  1000  100  800 pF VR  VT  100  % water 100  20

Proceed as follows: Apply power to the instrument to which the 762 VITO Interface is connected and wait for approximately 2 minutes. Item W2= MX VT Name Protection level 2 Actual measured capacitance Maximum capacitance Description Enter protection level 2 Read the actual measured capacitance (floating point format). Read the maximum capacitance (floating point format). Program the minimum capacitance; either the value from item MX or the calculated minimum capacitance value (floating point format).

Configuration of side mounted water probes

The side mounted water probe works on a capacitive principle. The situation at 0% water level means: sensitive part of probe totally immersed in the product. The capacitance measured in this situation must correspond with the PV LRV value. The measured capacitance depends, among other quantities, on the dielectric constant of the product. The water probe has been pre-calibrated in the factory, however not in the product, but in air. Therefore, it is required to determine the PV LRV value in the actual measured product. Check by means of a manual dip that no water is present in the sensitive part of the probe. The product level must be such high that it covers the sensitive part of the water probe. Only under these conditions the PV LRV can be determined. The PV URV value is the measured capacitance when the sensitive part of the probe is completely immersed in water. This is also pre-programmed in the factory. The SV value (Secondary Variable) is requested in the communication between the water probe and the instrument. The SV is the measured water level in metres. As the side mounted water probe is installed under an angle with the vertical, the immersed probe length does not correspond with the actual water level (refer to figure at the right). The solution for this is to decrease the probe length value (programmed in SV URV) by the factor cos a. However, this cant be done by the HART communicator. Therefore, another method is used. The span of the PV (PV URV - PV LRV) will be increased by the factor cos . Use the following method: PV URVorg.  PV LRV cos

Note:
It is required to have the PV LRV value adjusted to the correct value, prior to use it in the formula above. Example: PV LRV : PV URV : angle : Proceed as follows: Apply power to the instrument to which the water probe is connected and wait for approximately 2 minutes. 1 Enter protection level 2 of the instrument.

Note:
If the 847 PET is used, it is advised to disable the keyboard time-out function of the PET. 2 Issue the Stop HART request command (item SR). This command will abort the HART communication schedular.

Note:
This is necessary as the optional HART board doesnt allow a second master on the HART line.
