Introduction

1 Introduction
All items of the 854 level gauges, 873 SmartRadar and 877 Field Display & Interface instruments, and their
options, are described in this manual. A further description can be found in “ITEMLIST”, and in the help function
of the “ENSITE” service program, both available from Enraf B.V. (or its representative).

The items can be of type N (Novram), D (data), or C (Command).


Novram items are items from which the data is stored in the NOVRAM on the XPU board (for instance: the
reference level item RL).
Data items are items which contains the measured and calculated data (for instance: the radar ullage RU).
The measured and calculated data are not stored in NOVRAM.
Command items are items which results in an action; for instance item RS: resets the instrument.

Indexed items can be recognized by the information line: No. of elements. Here, the number of elements is then
specified.

The protection level refers to the protection level 1 or 2 password which is required to issue the item.
Data items have no write access; except for some data items which are stored in NOVRAM.

Item documentation 854, 873, 877 Page 5


Level items (common)

2 Level items
2.1 Common level items

Item AH Alarm hysteresis

Type: N
Protection: level 1
Dimension: determined by item LD
Default value: +000.0100 (m)

The level alarm hysteresis is used to set a hysteresis around the level alarms. Refer to HA, HH, LA, and LL.
Note:
The software does not check for the size and an eventually negative sign of the hysteresis.

Item AR Accept reference

Type: C
Protection: level 2

With the AR command, the 854 level gauge accepts the level, specified in item RL, as the current level. The gauge remains in protection
level 2.

When the 873 SmartRadar is in calibration mode, and no warning code is active, this command takes the value specified in item RL
(reference level) as the indicated radar level.
Internally, a distance called radar position (item PR), is calculated as: RL + internal offset (antenna parameter). PR corresponds with the
nozzle (or manhole) flange height.
After the AR command, the level "jumps" to its new position. The radar level is made equal to the level value from item RL, inclusive active
compensations. After the AR command, the 873 SmartRadar will remain in protection level 2.

Item DE Level type

Type: N
Protection: level 2
Entry format: one ASCII character, refer to description
Default value: I

The level type item selects the type of level which will be shown on the display. The same level type will be transmitted in the level record on
the Enraf field bus. The level type can be:
• I : Innage
• U : Ullage

Item HA High level alarm

Type: N
Protection: level 1
Dimension: determined by item LD
Default value: +026.0000 (m)

With item HA, a high level alarm set point can be given. When the level exceeds the programmed high alarm setting, a status bit is set in
item QS (servo status request), QR (radar status request) or QF (hydrostatic status request) and the character "H" is transmitted in the alarm
status byte of the level record.

To prevent the on/off switching of the high level alarm status, due to variations in the calculated level, an alarm hysteresis is implemented
(item AH).
The high level alarm status is set when the calculated level is higher than the high level alarm set point.
The high level alarm status is reset when the calculated level is lower than the high level alarm set point minus the alarm hysteresis.

Level items (common)

Item: HF Hydrostatic deformation factor

Type N
Protection: level 2
Dimension: mm/m
Entry format: standard floating point format
Default value: +.00000000E+00

When your tank is not equipped with a stable


mounting stud for installation of the instrument,
item HF can be used, together with the
hydrostatic deformation level (item HL), to
compensate the level reading.
The compensation becomes effective from
levels above the setting in item HL. In formula:

levelcomp. = level - (level - HL) x HF

A positive signed HF indicates that


the compensation of the innage level
is subtracted in order to obtain a
compensated level.

When no compensation is required HF must


contain the default value.

For the 854 level gauges, the compensated


level can be requested by item CQ
(compensated innage servo). The compensated
innage will be shown on the display and
transmitted via the Enraf field bus when item
DE (level type) is set to ‘C’ (compensated
Figure 2.1
innage).

For the 873 SmartRadar, the compensated level can


th
be requested by item RI (radar innage) if the compensation switch (item CS) is enabled for hydrostatic deformation (8 position to ‘H’).
The level on the display and on the Enraf field bus are automatically adapted when the hydrostatic deformation is enabled in item CS.

Note:
As the alarm levels and the reference level are defined as compensated innage levels, the location of these levels also depends on the
setting of the hydrostatic deformation factor.

Item: HH High high level alarm

Type: N
Protection: level 1
Dimension: determined by item LD
Default value: +026.1000 (m)

With item HH, a high high level alarm set point can be given. When the level exceeds the programmed high high alarm setting, a status bit is
set in items QS (servo status request), QR (radar status request) or QF (hydrostatic status request).

To prevent the on/off switching of the high high level alarm status, due to variations in the calculated level, an alarm hysteresis is
implemented (item AH).
The high high level alarm status is set when the calculated level is higher than the high high level alarm set point.
The high high level alarm status is reset when the calculated level is lower than the high high level alarm set point minus the alarm
hysteresis.

Item: HL Hydrostatic deformation level

Type: N
Protection: level 2
Dimension: determined by item LD
Default value: +002.0000 m (m)

Item HL is the start level for the compensation of hydrostatic tank deformation. Refer to HF.

Item documentation 854, 873, 877 Page 7


Level items (common)

Item: LA Low level alarm

Type: N
Protection: level 1
Dimension: determined by item LD
Default value: +002.0000 (m)

With item LA, a low level alarm set point can be given. When the level drops below the programmed low alarm setting, a status bit is set in
items QS (servo status request), QR (radar status request) or QF (hydrostatic status request) and the character "L" is transmitted in the
alarm status byte of the level record.

To prevent the on/off switching of the low level alarm status, due to variations in the calculated level, an alarm hysteresis is implemented
(item AH).
The low level alarm status is set when the calculated level is lower than the low level alarm set point.
The low level alarm status is reset when the calculated level is higher than the low level alarm set point plus the alarm hysteresis.

Item: LD Level dimension

Type: N
Protection: level 2
Entry format: one ASCII character, M, F, I or P
Default value: M

Item LD determines the dimension in which the calculated level will be presented. All NOVRAM data which contain a level value will have
the same dimension and have to be presented in the same format. The following dimensions are possible:
• M : metres
• F : feet
• I : inches
• P : fractions (feet, inches, and 1/ 16 of inches)

When item LD is changed, all level items must be converted to the new dimension and new format. With the XPU-2, that will be done
automatically. Each dimension has its own format; the formats are:

Item LD Dimension Format

M m sign X X X sep X X X X

F ft sign X X X X sep X X X

I inch sign X X X X X sep X X

P ft in 1/16 sign X X ft X X in X X

sign = + or - ft = ' sep = . or ,


X = digit in = "

Item: LL Low low level alarm

Type: N
Protection: level 1
Dimension: determined by item LD
Default value: +001.9000 (m)

With item LL, a low low level alarm set point can be given. When the level drops below the programmed low low alarm setting, a status bit is
set in items QS (servo status request), QR (radar status request) or QF (hydrostatic status request).

To prevent the on/off switching of the low low level alarm status, due to variations in the calculated level, an alarm hysteresis is implemented
(item AH).
The low low level alarm status is set when the calculated level is lower than the low low level alarm set point.
The low low level alarm status is reset when the calculated level is higher than the low low level alarm set point plus the alarm hysteresis.

Page 8
Level items (common)

Item: RL Reference level

Type: N
Protection: level 2
Dimension: determined by item LD
Default value: +000.0000 (m)

The reference level is considered as the true level at the moment the AR (accept reference) command is given.

Item: RN Relay command

Type: D
Protection: not protected
Entry format: eight ASCII characters; refer to description

Item RN is used for remote control of the relays. The eight bytes (C1, T1, T2, T3, C2, T4, T5, T6) control both relays as follows:

C1 (C2) Relay 1 (2) command: T1, T2, T3 (T4, T5, T6) Relay 1 (2) time data field
A Activate relay 1 (2) 000 - 999 Time setting in seconds for ‘Activate’ command only.
D De-activate relay 1 (2) If the time field is set to 000, the relay is continuously
K Alarm acknowledge activated.
- Don’t change For the other commands, dummy values must be
specified (e.g. RN=K000-000).

The acknowledge command can only be given when the relay is programmed for level alarm operation. The other commands can only be
given as the relay is set for remote control.

Item: RX Relay status

Type: D
Protection: no write access
Default value: FF

These two bytes (B0 for relay 1, B1 for relay 2) of item RX contain the current setting of both relays:

B0 (B1) Status of relay 1 (2)


K Acknowledged alarm
D De-activated relay
A Activated relay
T Relay is active with time setting
F Relay fail
N Relay is not mounted

Item: RY Relay alarm mode

Type: N
Protection: level 1
Entry format: six ASCII characters; refer to description
Default value: HA - LA -

For 854 and 877 only! The six bytes (A1, A2, M1, A3, A4, M2) of item RY can be used to couple the relays to a level alarm or to set-up the
relay for remote control:

A1, A2 (A3, A4) Usage of relay 1 (2) M1 (M2) Relay 1 (2) mode
HH High high level alarm T Relay will always be active if an alarm level is reached
HA High level alarm - Relay will only be active if an alarm level is reached and there
LA Low level alarm is no test status active
LL Low low level alarm W Relay will only be active if an alarm level is reached and there

Level items (common)

Item: RZ Relay mode

Type: N
Protection: level 1
Entry format: four ASCII characters; D or E
Default value: DEDE

For 854 and 877 only! These four bytes (B0, B1, B2, B3) determine if the relay is energized, or de-energized, in case of no alarm situation
and in case of gauge fail.

B0 (B2) Operation mode relay 1 (2) B1 (B3) Fail mode relay 1 (2)
E Relay energized in case of no alarm situation E Relay energized in case of gauge failure
D Relay de-energized in case of no alarm situation D Relay de-energized in case of gauge failure

Item: UR Upper reference level

Type: N
Protection: level 2
Dimension: determined by item LD
Default value: +027.0000 (m)

The upper reference level item is used to calculate an ullage, based on the programmed upper reference value. If item DE (level type) is set
to 'U', then the ullage will be displayed in display format A and B and the ullage will be transmitted in the level records.

The ullage is calculated as: Ullage = Upper reference level , level

Level items (854)

2.2 Specific 854 level gauge items

Item: BF Average measured frequency

Type: D
Protection: not protected
Dimension: Hz
Default value: -.99999999E-99

With this item the measured average frequency can be requested after balance test BT command. Refer to BT, BV and DO.

Item: BL Block

Type: C
Protection: not protected

The Block command stops the displacer. Refer to BM, HC and UN.

Item: BM Block mode

Type: N
Protection: level 1
Entry format: one ASCII character
Default value: C

The block mode selects whether the Block command remains active after level I1, I2 or I3 has reached the displacer.
• C : Continuous; the Block command will remain active until another operational command with a higher priority overrides the
block command.
• N : Non-continuous; the Block command will be cancelled if the product reaches the displacer.

In both Block modes (BL and BM) the gauge will check the force on the displacer. When a force exceeding 350 gram acts on the sensor the
displacer will be lowered to prevent wire rupture.

Item: BT Balance test

Type: C
Protection: level 2

SPU version A.61/A1.0:


The balance test command checks the balance of the measuring drum. The measuring drum makes one revolution while force on the
sensor is measured continuously.

SPU version A2.0 and up:


To increase the accuracy of the balance test, the force of the sensor is measured at discrete positions (default 8 positions, refer to DO),
equally distributed over the circumference of the measuring drum.

The maximum and minimum forces are stored as BU and BV. Upon completion of BT the 854 changes over to a freeze FR situation.
Note:
The minimum free space below the displacer at start of BT = 400 mm.

Item: BU Maximum unbalanced weight

Type: D
Protection: no write access
Dimension: grams
Default value: -.99999999E-99

Once the balance test has been performed the maximum force that was found during the measurement can be read in this item. Until the
first balance test command has been processed by the SPU, this item will contain the default value -.99999999E-99.
Immediately after giving a next command BT, the BU item will be filled again with this default value.

Item documentation 854, 873, 877 Page 11


Level items (854)

Item: BV Minimum unbalanced weight

Type: D
Protection: no write access
Dimension: grams
Default value: -.99999999E-99

Item BV contains the minimum force measured during the balance test BT.

Item: BW Average unbalanced weight

Type: D
Protection: no write access
Dimension: grams
Default value: -.99999999E-99

Item BW contains the average force measured during the balance test BT (can be done with displacer).

Item: CA Calibrate

Type: C
Protection: not protected

The calibrate command performs a calibration test by moving the displacer until it meets the ‘calibration plate’ of the gauge (above the limit
switch). The computed compensated innage level, corresponding to this position, is compared with the known tank top level (item TT).
If a difference greater than ± 2.5 mm is found between these two levels, the result of the calibration test will be a ‘fail’.
Note:
The CA command is only operational when the first position in the WT item contains an E and it is not disabled in HC.

Level items (854)

Item: DH Dip height

Type: N
Protection: level 2
Dimension: determined by item LD
Default value: +000.3000 (m)

When the 854 operates in dip mode DM, the displacer will be raised after each product dip to a distance DH above the product level.

Item: DM Dip mode

Type: C
Protection: not protected

When the gauge is in dip mode the displacer will be set at a distance DH above interface I1. After a fixed time DT a single product
measurement will be executed and after measuring the interface level, the displacer will be raised again.
This sequence will be repeated once every dip time DT. In this mode the calculated level items LQ, UQ and CQ will show the last measured
product level (when available) and not the actual displacer position.

Refer to DH, DT, HC and UN

Item: DO Density no. of samples (per rev.)

Type: N
Protection: level 2
Entry format: one ASCII digit

Level items (854)

Item: F0 (F1, F2, F3) Frequency constant 0 (1, 2, 3)

Type: N
Protection: level 2
Dimension: Hz
Entry format: standard floating point format
Default value: +.00000000E+00

F0 ... F3 are frequencies measured during calibration of the force transducer with the calibrated test weights.
• F0 : frequency constant for displacer weight = 25 grams
• F1 : frequency constant for displacer weight = 100 grams
• F2 : frequency constant for displacer weight = 175 grams
• F3 : frequency constant for displacer weight = 250 grams

Minimum value: +.80000000E+04; maximum value: +.18000000E+05.


If during initialization an error message is set in ES the values for F0 ... F3 must be checked.

Measuring the frequencies F0 ... F3 must occur by the 854 itself after final assembly has taken place. For this purpose there is the command
MF which can be used to measure the frequencies.
Note:
The default value 0 in these items has as a consequence that immediately after initialization an error message is generated in the ES
item.

Item: FP Find reference encoder position

Type: C
Protection: level 2

The special command FP does not break off any active operational command. FP determines in which position the reference encoder is.
It is only active when previously the maintenance mode is selected by the command SM.

After the installation of a new motor block or new EPROMs, the reference encoder counter must be synchronized to the actual position of
the reference encoder by means of this special command. Refer to SM and UN.
Note:
After giving an FP command the gauge must be recalibrated.

Item: FQ Frequency request

Type: D
Protection: no write access

The level offset items can be used to compensate for different submersion depths of the displacer at interface I2 and I3, compared to the
submersion depth at interface I1. These offset levels will be subtracted from any calculated level if the current interface is either 2 or 3.
The software checks neither for seize or sign of the level offset items.

Item: LQ Innage servo level request

Type: D
Protection: no write access
Dimension: determined by item LD
Default value: @@P - - 99999999

This item contains the computed innage level with four status characters The displacement of the displacer with respect to the internal
reference level is added to the value of this RL. For a description of the status bytes; refer to item QS.

Item: LT Lock test

Type: C
Protection: not protected

After a Lock test command LT the displacer is raised until the level specified in item MH is reached, or (for SPU version A2.0 and higher) the
lock test limit level (item MZ) is reached. The displacer is moved up at maximum speed.

If the displacer reaches the level, the command mode will change to Block BL. If MH has been reached the LT will remain active and the
displacer stays at the MH position. With another operational command with an equal or higher priority number, e.g. UN, the displacer can
again be directed to another position in the tank. Refer to HC and UN.

Item: MF Measure frequency

Type: C
Protection: not protected

Item FQ holds the frequency measured by the force transducer, 5 to 25 seconds after issuing the command MF. When the 854 shows FR
(Freeze) on the display the measurement is completed. Item WQ requests for the force exerted on the measuring wire.

Once the frequency measurement has been performed, the gauge will continue with any operational command that is active.
Refer to FQ, WQ.
Note:
The 854 must be in Freeze FR or Block BL when the command MF is given.

Level items (854)

Item: MH Motor limit switch high level

Type: N
Protection: level 2
Dimension: determined by item LD
Default value: +027.0000 (m)

Item MH contains the highest position allowed to the displacer during normal operation. Above the MH level the displacer can only be
controlled by a CA and a GU command. When MH is reached, a status bit is set in the level status.

Note:
Item MH must be defined below the physical upper part of the tank. If this is not done, the measuring wire may break as the 854 cannot
react quickly enough to a too high wire tension.

Item: ML Motor limit switch low level

Type: N
Protection: level 2
Dimension: determined by item LD
Default value: +001.0000 (m)

Item ML contains the lowest position allowed to the displacer during normal operation. Below the ML level the displacer can only be
controlled with a GD command. When the ML level is reached, a status bit is set in the level status, just like MH.

Note:
Item ML must be defined above the physical bottom of the tank. If this is not done the measuring wire may run from the measuring drum.

Item: MZ Lock test limit switch level

Type: N
Protection: level 1
Dimension: determined by item LD
Default value: +050.0000 (m)

Item MZ sets the highest displacer position allowed during the execution of a lock test command. When the displacer reaches this level the
Lock test command will be cancelled and a Block command will be activated. If the displacer is already on or above the MZ level when a
Lock test is send to the gauge, the Lock test command will immediately change to a Block.

Level items (873)

Item: FI Low product refl. warning delay counter

Type: N
Protection: level 1
Entry format: two digits
Default value: 75

Valid from APU software version A1.1. Variations in the reflected signal from the product (product reflection) can cause repetitive low
product reflection warnings (warning code 07000). With item FI, a delay can be set before this warning is generated. During the delay, the
last valid measured level is available. If during the delay time a valid product reflection is measured, the delay counter is reset and the
measured data is available. If no valid product reflection is obtained after the delay time, a low product reflection warning is generated.

The delay time is not directly in a time unit. When FI is set to 00, the delay is disabled. When FI is set to the maximum value (99), the delay
time is approximately 4 minutes. Hence, the default value will cause a low product reflection warning after 3 minutes.

The obstruction positions are related to the radar zero point
(nozzle position). Figure 2.4 Obstruction zones

The obstruction zone length must be minimal 6 Fourier distances,


hence 0.6 m. There is no maximum length, as long as it is in the measuring range. If the obstruction position is found, the obstruction start
position (item OS) is programmed as:
(obstruction position - 1/2 obstruction length)
The obstruction end position (item OE) is programmed as:
(obstruction position + 1/2 obstruction length)

Hereafter, the obstruction zone threshold value must be specified with item OT. The obstruction zones must be programmed in sequence;
obstruction zone one (closest to the antenna) in the first element of items OE, OS and OT.
Each obstruction zone can be individually enabled with the obstruction zone enable switch (item OZ).

Item: FB Fall back time-out

Type: N
Protection: level 2
Dimension: minutes
Entry format: two ASCII digits
Default value: 05

If for the period of the fall back time-out, the 877 FDI has detected no field communication (thus no level and temperature could be copied),
the communication line to the host will be disconnected by means of the fall back relay and the 877 FDI sends a request for level, and
eventually temperature, to the level gauge. After reception of the information, the 877 FDI briefly switches over to the host lines again, to
monitor for communication. If communication is detected, the fall back time-out is reset.
Note:
The fall back time-out should always be set longer than the worst case scan time of the host. Else communication collisions will occur,
which results in communication errors.

If item TF (temperature source selection) is set to E (external), also the temperature will be scanned via the C-record.
- D Master display scan mode
In the master display scan mode, the 877 FDI can retrieve one of the available display formats from the level gauge.
Item RV specifies which display format will be retrieved (A - J).
- I Indicator mode
In the indicator mode, the 877 FDI only copies the level and eventually temperature when the host is requesting the level
(and temperature) from the level gauge. If there is no host communication, a time-out message is shown on the display.
- F Indicator and fall back mode.
Functions as with the indicator mode. However, if the there is no field transmission during the fall back time-out, the 877
FDI switches over to the fall back mode.
- H HTG (Hydrostatic Tank Gauge)
The 877 FDI is now set for HTG and acts as an individual gauge. (item HT must be set to T)
- T Stand alone temperature gauge (only with XPU-2)

With the decimal separator item, a selection can be made what character to be used for the decimal separation in all measured and
calculated data as: level, density, temperature, pressure. The decimal separator can be:
• . : Decimal point
• , : Comma

When the decimal separator is changed, all items which holds the decimal must be changed as well. The XPU-2 automatically converts all
items with the decimal separator.
An exception on this are the items in floating point format; these will always have a decimal point.

XPU items

Item: EJ Field communication collision counter

Type: N
Protection: level 1
Default value: 0000

Before the instrument transmits a message via the Enraf field bus, it checks if the field bus is free. If the field bus is not free, a transmission
collision would occur. Depending on the status of the field communication collision detection item TC, the instrument will or will not transmit
its message when the field bus is not free.
If item TC is set to "E" (transmission collision detection enable), and the Enraf field bus was found busy, the instrument skips its message
and counter EJ is increment. If item TC is set to "D" (transmission collision detection disable), and the Enraf field bus was found busy, the
instrument transmits its message; then counter EJ is not increment. Refer to item TC.
The field communication collision counter can be reset by writing ‘0000’ in it (protection level 1).

Item: EP XPU error request

Type: D
Protection: no write access

Item: EX Exit

Type: C
Protection: level 1 / level 2

This command exits from protection level 1 or 2 and forces the initialization of all processor boards with the data stored in NOVRAM.
With the initialization of all processors, it is guaranties that the data in the NOVRAM (including any changes just made) are distributed
among all processors. NOVRAM changes are therefore effective only after the exit command is executed.
Note:
Stored data in the NOVRAM are destroyed by the EX command.

Item: FX Fatal XPU errors

Type: N
Protection: no write access
Default value: 00

The item FX counts the number of fatal XPU(-2) errors. Fatal errors can be caused by:
• watchdog resets
• software errors

Power downs and software resets are not included in this count.
The maximum count is 99. When this count is reached, additional fatal XPU errors are omitted.

XPU items

Item: GT Gauge type

Type: N
Protection: level 2
Entry format: one ASCII character: B, C or E
Default value: B

The gauge type item selects which of the protocols are used with the instrument. The following selection scan be made:
• B : Compatible to 811 servo gauge protocol
• C : Compatible to 813 mechanical gauge converter protocol
• E : Compatible to 811 servo gauge with external alarm input protocol

The option E is of no use with the 854 / 873 / 877 instruments, as they have no alarm input option.
Gauge type C (the 813 MGT driver) does not support the "test", "lock test", and "water bottom" commands.
With existing Enraf tank gauging systems, the choose between gauge types B or C will merely depends upon the availability of the drivers in
the Enraf system.

Item: IN Init non-volatile data memory (NOVRAM)

Type: C
Protection: level 2

With this command the NOVRAM can be (re)formatted.


The command must be issued three times in sequence (use for second and third time the ";" and "return" key on the PET keyboard). Any
other command, data request, or setting via PET or Enraf field bus will reset this sequence.
Note:
After a (re)format all programmed NOVRAM data will be lost. The NOVRAM is loaded with default settings.

Item: JS XPU Jumper setting

Type: D
Protection: no write access
Default value: n.a.

This item contains the jumper setting of jumpers J1 to J7 on the XPU board and J1 to J6 on the XPU-2 board.
Jumper 1 - Protection password 1
Jumper 2 - Protection password 2
Jumper 3 - Level 2 data protection

(11.4 years) for 854 and 877 and 999999 (114 years) for 873; more years are not counted.
Note:
The value of the run hours is lost after a NOVRAM init procedure.

Item: RS Reset

Type: C
Protection: not protected

Upon reception of this command, the software will perform a controlled reset. An RS command will not make operational modified NOVRAM
settings.

Item: SB Sensitivity Enraf field bus line

Type: N
Protection: level 2
Entry format: one ASCII digit (1 - 8)
Default value: 8

With this item, the sensitivity of the Enraf field bus receiver on the XPU-2 board can be selected. The sensitivity can be lowered, to reduce
communication errors on the transmission line due to noise. With each step (i.e. from 8 to 7), the sensitivity is reduced by a factor 2.
With SB set to 8, the maximum sensitivity is selected (compared to standard XPU board).
With SB set to 1, the minimum sensitivity is selected. Then only very strong signals can be received.

Item documentation 854, 873, 877 Page 53


XPU items

Item: ST Store

Type: C
Protection: not protected

The store command copies all computed level, temperature, density and pressure items according to their stored values. Hence the stored
values reflect the computed level items at the time the last store command was processed. From that moment the stored values remain
unchanged until the next store command.

Value Item Stored value Stored item


Innage servo level request LQ -> Stored innage servo level YL
Ullage servo level request UQ -> Stored ullage servo level YU
Comp. innage servo level CQ -> Stored comp. inn. servo YC
Spot temperature TQ -> Stored spot temperature YT
Average product temperature AP -> Stored average product temperature YP
Radar innage level RI -> Stored radar innage YI
Radar ullage level RU -> Stored radar ullage YW
877 HTG innage level HQ -> Stored HTG innage level YH
877 HTG ullage level VQ -> Stored HTG ullage level YV

Note:
A Reset or Exit command or a power failure destroys all information in the stored level items.

Item: SV Software version

Type: D
Protection: no write access

This item contains the version numbers of the installed software and the NOVRAM. The information is given in the following sequence:
device number (854, 873 or 877), NOVRAM version, XPU(-2) version, SPU, APU or RPU version, option board version (if installed).
Example: 854NVRAB3.0XPUA3.0SPUC2.1MPUA1.0
873 NVR1.1-- XPUF1.3-- APUA1.0 HSUA2.0

Item: TA Transmission address

Type: N
Protection: level 2
Entry format: two ASCII digits
Default value: 00

The transmission address identifies the instrument on the Enraf field bus. Each of the instruments connected in parallel on one field bus
must be programmed with a different transmission address. If the instruments are connected to an CIU (Communications Interface Unit), the
addresses must be:
• between 00 and 29 for field line 1 (TL 1),
• between 30 and 59 for field line 2 (TL 2),
• between 60 and 99 for field line 3 (TL 3).

Item: TC Field communication collision detection enable / disable

Type: N
Protection: level 2
Entry format: one ASCII character; D or E
Default value: E

With this item the field communication collision detection on the Enraf field bus can be enabled or disabled. The setting for TC can be:
• E : Field communication collision detection enabled.
• D : Field communication collision detection disabled.

The Enraf field bus can be found busy, by the influence of cross talk from other cabling. If this is the case, item TC can be set to D (disable
the collision detection) thereby enabling the instrument to answer the data request message.

XPU items

Item: TH Turn around delay host

Type: N
Protection: level 2
Dimension: 0.01 seconds
Entry format: two ASCII digits
Default value: 01

Only with XPU-2 board. The host turn around delay time is the time between the last received character on the Enraf field bus and the start
of the transmission of the response. The possible turn around delay time settings are listed in the table below (tolerance: +10 / -0 msec).

It is recommended to set the turn around delay as low as possible (minimum 10 msec.). Higher turn around delay times causes longer
response time from the instrument and are generally unwanted.
Only when the host systems require longer turn around delays (for instance when CIU is connected via modem to a host), then the turn
around delay can be set according to the required modem turn around time (time to switch over from sending to receiving).

Default value: ------

The tank identifier contains a 6 character name which can be assigned to the instrument.
Example: TK,208

In the above example, the instrument is from tank 208.


This is very useful when the Enraf service program as ENSITE is used, with the options logfile and Reflection diagram.
The tank identifier gives information from what tank the data is, and the tank identifier is used as filename for the reflection diagram.
Note:
Since the tank identifier is used as filename, it cannot contain spaces (and other non-valid characters for file specification).

Item: TS Transmission speed

Type: N
Protection: level 2
Dimension: bits / second
Entry format: four ASCII digits
Default value: 1200

This item contains the baud rate of the Enraf field bus. Two selections can be made:

number of measuring points per drum-revolution can be set.

Item documentation 854, 873, 877 Page 59


Servo density items

Item: DV Displacer volume

Type: N
Protection: level 2
Dimension: cm3
Entry format: standard floating point format
Default value: +.11000000E+03

The displacer volume is important at density measurements. The displaced quantity of product is made equal to the volume of the displacer.
Check the engraved DV value on the displacer; this should be programmed in the instrument.
Minimum value: +.10000000E+02; maximum value: +.10000000E+04
Note:
In general the XPU only checks the syntax of floating point items.

Item: DW Displacer weight

Type: N
Protection: level 2
Dimension: grams
Entry format: standard floating point format
Default value: +.22300000E+03

Item DW contains the weight of the displacer in air and is an important value for the density measurement.
Check the engraved DW value on the displacer; this should be programmed in the instrument.
The minimum value is: +.10000000E+03; the maximum value is: +.30000000E+03

Item: DZ Default tank density profile stop distance

Type: N
Protection: level 1
Dimension: determined by item LD
Default value: +000.3000 (m)

The DZ level defines the lowest density measurement level. It is used by the TP command. This level DZ should be at least 200 mm above
motor limit low ML. The DZ level can be overwritten by an EZ level. The EZ level is programmed by a Host via the Enraf field bus or the 847
PET. After power-down, a reset or an exit, the 854 automatically uses the DZ value.

With SPU software versions A 2.2 / B 2.2 / C 2.2 / D 2.2 and later, either DZ or EZ is used, depending on which is higher.
The highest level is used during the TP command. Refer to EZ, TP.

Item: EZ Tank density profile stop distance

Type: D
Protection: not protected
Dimension: determined by item LD
Default value: not applicable

This item can be programmed by Host via the Enraf field bus or via the PET, and will override the DZ value. The EZ value will not be stored
in NOVRAM, and hence will be lost after a power-down, a reset or an exit. Refer to TP and DZ.

Servo density items

Item: IP Interface profile density scan

Type: C
Protection: not protected

An IP command starts an interface profile density measurement. Upon reception of the IP command the gauge performs an average density
measurement at 10 positions in the tank (different than the TP command which performs a number of density measurements over a certain
range).
The 10 positions are distributed over the specified range as shown:
- Actual level Y4
- Interface profile start level DK and first measuring position D9
- Second position D8
- Third position D7
:
:
- Eight position D2
- Ninth position D1
- Interface profile stop level DN (innage level) and last position D0
The DN level must be above the motor low limit setting ML.

Item: R0 (R1 .. R9) Measured servo density 0 (1 ... 9)

Type: D

in which: S0 : status byte


sign : + or -
R0 ... R7 : measured density value; format according item DI

Status byte S0:


bit 0 : General fail / default setting
1 : Measurement not completed
2 : 0 = tank profile (TP)
1 = interface profile (IP)
3 : No measuring point or measuring point out of range *)
4 : Conversion overflow
5 : Conversion underflow
6 : 1
7 : 0

*) When this bit is set no density measurement has been executed (see items D0 .. D9)

Item: SC Servo density request

Type: D
Protection: no write access
Dimension: determined by item DI
Default value: A-99999999

Upon completion of a TP or IP command an average density will be calculated over all measured densities as stored in items R0 ... R9.

Type: D
Protection: not protected
Entry format: one ASCII character; D or U
Default value: D

This item specifies the scan direction during a tank profile or a interface profile:
• D : From product surface downwards
• U : From bottom upwards

Item: TP Tank profile density scan

Type: C
Protection: not protected

The TP command starts a tank profile density measurement. During a TP command the gauge performs a number of density
measurements over a number of ranges. These ranges are distributed over the tank as shown:
- Last valid innage I1 level Y4
- Profile start distance DB
- Middle of 1st meas. range D9
- Middle of 2nd meas. range D8
:
:
- Middle of 8th meas. range D2
- Middle of 9th meas. range D1
- Middle of last meas. range D0
- Density profile stop level DZ or EZ
The DZ or EZ value should be at least 0.2 m (8") above the motor limit switch low (item ML)

The positions of the measuring ranges can be calculated with Dn = DZ + ((Y4 - DB - DZ) / 9) x n with n = 0 ... 9
The range itself starts at (Dn + DC / 2) and stops at (Dn - DC / 2). All used levels are not compensated for hydrostatic deformation.

If the start of the range exceeds MH or Y4 the concerning density measurement will not be performed. Refer to HC to prevent acceptation of
some of the operational commands. Refer also to the SD.

Item: AG Average gas temperature

Type: D
Protection: no write access
Dimension: determined by item TD
Default value: IF@@9999999

For 863 MRT:


The average gas temperature is obtained by computing the non-immersed part, minus length of item MG, from the longest element.
For 864 MTT:
The average gas temperature is calculated by taking the average value of the spot elements in the gas phase.
A spot element is considered to be in the gas phase, if it is located above the product level + the gas immersion depth (item MG).
A spot element is not anymore in the gas phase if it is located above the product level + the gas immersion depth (item MG) - the switch
hysteresis (item MI).
For the description of the 4 status bytes, refer to item MQ.

Item: AP Average product temperature

Type: D
Protection: no write access
Dimension: determined by item TD
Default value: IF@@9999999

For 863 MRT:


The average product temperature is calculated from the resistance of the longest immersed element.
The longest immersed element is selected for the average product temperature if the level is above the element length + offset (item MO) +
product immersion depth (item MP).
For 864 MTT:
The average product temperature is calculated by taking the average value of the immersed spot elements. A spot element is considered to
be in the product, if it is at least immersed for the product immersion depth (item MP). A spot element is not anymore in the product if it is
located above the value of: product level - gas immersion depth (item MG) + switch hysteresis (item MI).

Items, from which the format depends on the density dimension, are: 28, DL, DU, HD.

Item: DL Density lower limit

Type: N
Protection: level 1
Dimension: determined by item DI
Default value: +00000.00 (kg/m3)

With item DL a low density limit can be programmed. If the calculated density is lower than the set point given in item DL, a status bit is set
in item QF (hydrostatic status request) and the character L is set in the status byte of the density item QQ.
To prevent on/off switching of the of the low density alarm status, a density alarm hysteresis is implemented (item HD).

Only for HTG with 877 FDI:


If, at start-up of the 877 FDI, a low density alarm exists, the 877 FDI concludes that the level is too low for a proper density calculation out of
P1 and P2. Then the last valid density (item 28), or the manual density (item MM) is used in stead of the calculated density.

Protection: level 2
Dimension: determined by item LD
Default value: +003.5000 (m)

The minimum HIMS/HTG level is used to decide whether the calculated HIMS/HTG density or the last valid density is used. If the level in the
tank falls below the minimum HIMS/HTG level, the "stored" last valid density is used in the data items DQ and QQ (this will be of course
signalled in the status bytes of both items).
In HTG configurations also the level status is influenced (items HQ, VQ and the status in the level record).

Item: LP Distance P1 - zero level tank

This data item contains the measured water bottom level.


The water level value is preceded by two status bytes s 1, s 2 (bit coded) with the following information:

Status byte s1: Status byte s2 :


bit 0 : General probe fail bit 0 : Water probe is (0 = absent; 1 = present)
1 : Low water alarm 1 : 0
2 : High water alarm 2 : 0
3 : Water below probe warning 3 : 0
4 : Water above probe warning 4 : 0
5 : 0 5 : 0
6 : 1 6 : 1
7 : 0 7 : 0

Item: N4 Serial number water probe

Type: D
Protection: no write access
Default value: 9999999999

This item contains the serial number of the water bottom probe retrieved via the HART TM command #16 or command #0.

Item: PV Primary variable

Type: D
Protection: no write access
Default value: F9999999999999

With this item, the primary variable of the water bottom probe is requested. The communication address of the water bottom probe must be
set to 4 (refer to configuration procedure of used water bottom probe). It can be left at ‘0' (analog mode) if there are no pressure transmitters
connected (item PA set to: - - -).
The primary variable data format is: 1 byte status, 2 bytes units, 14 bytes measured value.
status : - Valid data
F Invalid data
units : Hexa decimal format (refer to HART TM Smart Communication Protocol)
measured value : Floating point format

Item: SR Stop HART request

Type: C
Protection: level 2

With the SR command the HART TM communication between the HPU or HSU and the connected HARTTM transmitter(s) is stopped.
The communication will be resumed after an EX (or RS) command.

This command should be used when another instrument wants to be master on the HART TM communication line (e.g. a Hand Held
Terminal).

Item: WB Water probe bottom position

Type: N
Protection: level 2
Dimension: determined by item LD
Default value: +000.0000 (m)

This item contains the offset between the water bottom probe zero point - and the zero point (datum plate) of the tank.

Water bottom items

Item: WF Water level field communication

Type: N
Protection: level 2
Entry format: one ASCII character; S or D
Default value: D

The water level field communication item selects from which source the water level is selected in the B-record (level record).
Note:
This is only required with the 854 level gauges.

The setting means:


• S : From water bottom probe
• D : From water dip (displacer)

The water level from a water bottom probe will be placed in the B-record after a ‘W’ (water) command is issued to the 854 level gauge (refer
to the protocol manual).

Note:
The M-record always contains the water level from a water bottom probe.
Therefore, we recommend to use the M-record for water level with water bottom probes.

Item: WH Water high alarm

Type: N
Protection: level 1
Dimension: determined by item LD
Default value: +000.0000 (m)

With item WH, a high water level alarm set point can be given. When the water level exceeds the programmed high water alarm setting the
following actions take place:
• a status bit is set in the items LH and LW (bit 2 in status byte s 1)
• the character ‘H’ is transmitted in the water alarm status of the water level record (M record)
• the characters ‘HW’ (high water alarm) are displayed on the water level display (display format K)

To prevent on/off switching of the high water level alarm due to small variations in the measured water level, a water alarm hysteresis is
implemented (item WS).
The high water level alarm status is set when the measured water level is higher than the high water level alarm set point.
The high water level alarm status is reset when the measured water level is lower than the high water level set point minus the water alarm
hysteresis.

Item: WL Water low alarm

Type: N
Protection: level 1
Dimension: determined by item LD
Default value: +000.0000 (m)

With item WL, a low water level alarm set point can be given. When the water level drops below the programmed low water alarm setting the
following actions take place:
• a status bit is set in the items LH and LW (bit 1 in status byte s 1)
• the character ‘L’ is transmitted in the water alarm status of the water level record (M record)
• the characters ‘LW’ (low water alarm) are displayed on the water level display (display format K)

To prevent on/off switching of the low water level alarm due to small variations in the measured water level, a water alarm hysteresis is
implemented (item WS).
The low water level alarm status is set when the measured water level is lower than the low water level alarm set point.
The low water level alarm status is reset when the measured water level is higher than the low water level set point plus the water alarm
hysteresis.
