Million in oneSignal processing with fieldexperienceSiemens level measurement instruments come withextensive field experience. Siemens Milltronicsdeveloped the signal processing technology for levelinstruments based on the experience of a millioninstruments in industrial applications.
With this experience, we understand the importanceof reliability, and we know what it takes to make atrusted and accurate level instrument for demandingapplications. That’s why our engineers invented SonicIntelligence® and Auto False-Echo Processing, andthat’s why these instruments carry so many patents.With Siemens Milltronics you get the experience of amillion applications in one instrument.
Sonic IntelligenceOur patented Sonic Intelligence signal processingtechnology was developed using knowledge providedby our field service engineers from real applicationdata. Siemens Milltronics’ instruments offer the uniqueadvantage of this technology. Sonic Intelligencedifferentiates between true echoes from the materialand false echoes from obstructions or electrical noise.The sophisticated software is continuously updatedand supported by field data gained from more than500,000 ultrasonic and radar level applications. Thisin-depth knowledge and experience is built into thesoftware’s advanced algorithms to provide intelligentprocessing of echo profiles. The result is repeatable,fast, and reliable measurement you can trust.

Flow Reporter
Flow Reporter is a Windows-basedconfiguration software and data extractor
for use with the Milltronics OCM III Open Channel Meter.
From a remote PC, it permits you to:• Monitor and troubleshoot flow readings
collected by the OCM III• View and modify parameters• Connect to OCM III either directly or with a
modem – host computer can be any distancefrom the flowmeter
• Seek out specific data using the relationaldatabase
• Upload data logs from the OCM III• Review past and present data logs in a database
environment• Export summary information and data to a
spreadsheet program• Print daily or monthly reports
Dolphin Plus
Dolphin Plus is instrument configuration software for:
• SITRANS LU• SITRANS LUC500
It helps you configure, monitor, tune anddiagnose most Siemens Milltronics instrumentseither remotely from your desktop PC orconnected directly in the field using a laptop. Just load the software from the CD and inminutes you can set up or modify completeparameter configurations for single or multipleinstruments in the Windows® environment. After configuration, you can edit parameters onthe fly, upload and download parameter sets toand from disk, and use parameter sets saved fromother instruments. You can also work with echoprofiles for fine-tuning without the need forspecial instruments.

Remote datamonitoring withLevelwatch.com
Levelwatch.com unlocks data at remote sites and distributes it for use in making business
decisions. Using measuring equipment such asultrasonic, capacitance, radar or other instruments,readings are taken at the remote site.
A Levelwatch.com unit connects this field datausing landline or satellite to a secure web site.The system monitors status, tracks trends, andsends alarms directly to designated personnel byphone, fax, page, or e-mail. Alarm details areavailable on-line.
Levelwatch.com provides the tools for a value-added inventory management service as vendors monitor customer inventory levels and can anticipate demand and optimize delivery schedules. Manufacturers can alsomonitor bulk material levels to ensure a supply for continuous production, with no more running out or emergency deliveries.
Siemens Milltronics products can be connectedvia their Modbus ports, allowing access to keyoperational parameters, such as pump setpoints,and pump or flow totalizers.
SIMATIC PDM software
SIMATIC PDM (Process Device Manager) is amanufacturer-independent software tool for the
operation, configuration, parameterization,maintenance and diagnosis of intelligent fieldinstruments. Based on the EDD standard, it can beused independent of a specific automation systemvia a PC or programming device or as an integral partof the SIMATIC PCS 7 process automation system.
Core functions include:• Set-up and modification of parameters• Comparison• Plausibility checks• Data management• Commissioning functions
SIMATIC PDM offers communications via HART,PROFIBUS DP, PROFIBUS PA or other protocols.
See www.siemens.com for up-to-date product list.
HART
HART is a serial transfer protocol which is usedto transfer additional parameter data, such as
measurement range, configuration, to theconnected device through a 4 to 20 mA powerloop. The main process variable is transmitted viathe 4 to 20 mA power loop. SIMATIC PDM can usethis protocol to communicate configuration datato an instrument. Siemens Milltronics offers HARTas an option on many of our level products.

PROFIBUS communications offer Totally IntegratedAutomation (TIA)
Siemens offers a range of level instruments thatconnect to a PROFIBUS network. PROFIBUS is the
fieldbus standard for complete production plants in allprocess sectors, and helps manufacturers achieveoperational excellence and cost savings throughoutcomplete service life. It is the network solution with themost advantages for Totally Integrated Automation (TIA)providing digital communication between theautomation system and field instrumentation on a single, serial bus cable.
Siemens offers a range of radar and ultrasonic leveltransmitters, as well as inverse frequency capacitanceswitches equipped with PROFIBUS PA and ultrasonic levelcontrollers with PROFIBUS DP protocol.
