Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for transmitting data between a sensor, in particular a capacitive fill level sensor or a pressure sensor, and an evaluation unit, the evaluation unit and the sensor being spatially separated from one another. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for comparing, testing and operating the device according to the invention.
- the invention can in principle be applied to any type of measuring device in which the sensor and evaluation unit have a certain spatial dimension
- the device according to the invention and the method according to the invention can also be used in conjunction with a pressure sensor.
- a capacitive level probe has become known, which is mounted at the level of the level to be monitored. Such probes are also referred to as point level detectors and installed as overflow protection devices in containers or as idle protection devices in front of pumps. If the probe is covered by the product to be detected, it has a larger capacity value than in the uncovered state.
- the capacitance measurement value is compared with a threshold value by means of a capacitance measurement circuit and a comparator; the result shows whether the level to be monitored has been reached or not.
- the setting of the threshold value or the switching point is of course extremely critical in this context.
- the solution disclosed in DE 195 36 199 also aims to propose an automatic method for optimizing the setting of the switching point.
- the cable probe described in EP 0 857 954 is used when the measurement is to be carried out by means of a level sensor or a pressure sensor at a location which is not readily accessible from the outside.
- An example of this is the placement of a probe at a certain height in a tank or container.
- the rope is used to attach the probe.
- the electrical supply and the unidirectional transmission of measurement signals between the probe and the evaluation unit integrated in a housing takes place via the cable.
- the adjustment of the sensor for the correct setting of the switching point is of very great importance for reliable and correct working of the sensor in the process.
- the adjustment compensates for tolerances in the electronic and mechanical components. Since the sensors are usually encapsulated after assembly, adjustment, e.g. B. by turning a potentiometer or inserting an additional resistor, no longer possible. The sensor must therefore be designed so that it can be adjusted from the outside.
- the invention is based on the object of proposing a device and a method which make it possible to test and / or adjust and / or operate a sensor which is in the process from the outside.
- a first processor unit is provided, which is assigned to the sensor
- a second processor unit is provided, which is assigned to the evaluation unit
- at least one connecting line is provided, via which the two processor units exchange data bidirectionally.
- the transmitted data is, for example, an adjustment value, this adjustment value compensating mechanical and / or electrical deviations of the sensors from one another or the sensitivity curve of the sensor, which is dependent on the sensor reflects the measurement data supplied.
- a calibrated sensor can subsequently be connected to any evaluation unit, since all correspondingly calibrated sensors have a uniform behavior to the outside. Based on the stored sensitivity curve, conclusions can be drawn about sensor malfunctions.
- a preferred development of the device according to the invention provides that the second processor unit is integrated in the evaluation unit and / or that the second processor unit is integrated in an additional device, for example in a PC (personal computer). If the sensor is connected to a PC, it can be checked and tested, for example, with regard to its functionality in the process by means of a test and / or simulation program stored in the PC.
- the device according to the invention which is based on two processor units communicating with one another, also recognizes when the sensor fails. It remains to be mentioned that the desired functionality of the device is achieved in a cost-effective manner.
- the one processor unit is a master processor and the other processor unit is a slave processor.
- the master and slave processors are preferably connected to one another via two data lines, one data line being a unidirectional line via which the master processor specifies the clock, and the other data line being a bidirectional line via which the two processor units communicate with one another.
- digital data communication has the well-known advantage of significantly higher interference immunity.
- the power supply of the sensor takes place via the two data lines (two-wire line) or that two further lines are provided via which the power supply of the sensor takes place (four-wire line).
- each of the two processor units is assigned an RC oscillator, which generates the clock for the communication between the two processor units.
- a relatively low clock approximately 1 to 2 MHz.
- interference suppression elements in particular RC elements, in front of the
- Inputs or the outputs of the two processor units are switched.
- the time constants of the RC elements are dimensioned such that they largely suppress interference injections on the data lines, but do not interfere with the data exchange between the two processor units.
- the resistors are chosen so low that the signal level is attenuated as little as possible.
- the signals which represent the measured variable to be determined in each case are processed in the processor unit assigned to the sensor. Furthermore, it is provided that the processor unit assigned to the sensor has a memory unit in which the measured value for the adjustment of the sensor to a target value, the so-called adjustment value, is stored.
- the object is achieved in that the data exchange between the two processor units is implemented via a clock-edge-controlled point-to-point transmission.
- This type of digital communication is characterized in that it reacts relatively unaffected by clock fluctuations in the processor units. This is important because the processor units are preferably operated with RC oscillators for reasons of cost. In this context, relatively unaffected means that relative clock fluctuations of up to -50% and +100%, which may be due to tolerances and aging, do not affect the data transmission.
- the senor is switched to measuring mode in the adjustment and test phase and that the sensor is switched to normal mode for the purpose of determining the respective value of the measured variable.
- an advantageous embodiment of the method according to the invention provides that the sensitivity of the sensor is determined in the measuring mode by approaching or simulating certain values of the measured variable, and that the determined sensitivity curve is stored.
- the sensitivity profile of the sensor is preferably stored in the processor unit of the additional device (e.g. the PC).
- the senor after final assembly with an additional device for. B. is connected to a PC, that the additional device switches the sensor into measuring mode, that the sensitivity curve of the sensor is recorded, and that the stored values of the measured variable are used to check whether the sensor is working properly.
- Sensitivity curve of the sensor is understood here to mean the measuring voltage as a function of the degree of coverage of the sensor. The determination and verification of the sensitivity curve of the sensor is important for the detection of manufacturing errors and scatter.
- An advantageous embodiment of the method according to the invention provides that the achievement of a predetermined value of the measured variable is simulated and that the measured value of the measured variable is stored permanently as a comparison value. Furthermore, it is proposed that the stored value of the measured variable be verified by means of a subsequent test run before the adjustment value is finally saved.
- the adjustment or reference value is preferably in the vicinity of the later switching point for a medium to be detected with a low dielectric constant. With this measure, the tolerances can be kept very low.
- the actual switching points are based on a clear calculation rule. The corresponding investigation procedure is already state of the art.
- the senor is used as a limit switch which means that a predetermined measured variable, e.g. B. signals the reaching of a limit level in a container, during the initialization on the basis of the adjustment value and from the sensitivity value transmitted by the master processor in the evaluation unit, the switching threshold for reaching the predetermined measured variable is determined.
- a predetermined measured variable e.g. B. signals the reaching of a limit level in a container
- the falling below or exceeding the switching threshold is transmitted to the processor unit operating as the master processor, that the master processor forms an average value on the basis of the transmitted data and that after an unambiguous detection of the switching state this average value is sent to an output / display unit is forwarded.
- Improved interference suppression is achieved by averaging. At the same time, this results in a switching delay. Only after the switching state has been clearly identified is this sent to the output and e.g. B. passed on to a switching status display.

- FIG. 5 shows a flow chart for testing the device according to the invention.
- the device 1 shows a schematic representation of an embodiment of the device 1 according to the invention.
- the device 1 according to the invention is intended to determine the limit fill level of a filling material 9 in the container 2.
- the device 1 is composed of a sensor 7, which is in the process, an evaluation unit 5, which is mounted outside the process in an opening 4 in the lid 3 of the container 2, and a connecting means 10, for. B. a cable or a rope that connects the sensor 7 to the evaluation unit 5.

- the master processor 6 specifies the clock for data transmission via a unidirectional data line 12;
- the data exchange between takes place via the bidirectional data line 11 the two processor units 6, 8.
- Interference suppressors 17, 17 ', 18, 18' are connected in front of the outputs or the inputs of the processor units 6, 8, respectively.
- the interference suppressors 17, 17 ', 18, 18' are low-pass filters consisting of a resistor 19, 19 ', 20, 20' and a capacitor 21, 21 ', 22, 22', the data lines 1 1, 12 are grounded via the capacitor 21, 21 ', 22, 22'.
- the time constants of the RC elements 17, 17 ', 18, 18' are selected such that on the one hand the communication is not impaired, but on the other hand interference injections are largely suppressed. Furthermore, the resistors 19, 19 ', 20, 20' have such a low resistance that an excessive weakening of the signal level is prevented.
- FIG. 3 shows the transmission characteristic of a low-pass filter that can be used in connection with the device according to the invention. While low-frequency signals can pass the line almost undamped, high-frequency signals are attenuated or completely suppressed. in the
- the preferred and sufficient clock frequency is approximately 100 Hz. Both this fundamental frequency and its first harmonics are thus transmitted from the master processor 6 to the slave processor without damping.
- the interference suppressors 17, 17 ', 18, 18' not only ensure undisturbed transmission of the data. They also have a protective function if, for example, the data lines 11, 12 are open during assembly.
- SC is used to characterize the signal level on the data line 12 that specifies the clock.
- SD identifies the signal level of the data line 11, via which the bidirectional data exchange between the two processor units 6, 8 takes place. In the upper part is the
- the transmission consists of four bits of data each. Which information is hidden behind the bits can be seen from the table likewise shown in FIG. 4.
- the slave processor 8 receives the request from the master processor to supply measurement data.
- the corresponding communication between the slave processor 8 and the master processor 6 is visualized in the lower illustration in FIG. 4.
- 2-bit data are transmitted, which correspond to the 'BEDECKT' or 'UNBEDECKT' states.
- 10-bit data are transmitted in test mode or measuring mode.
- both lines 11, 12 and SC, SD are set to logic 1. Every connection establishment must be initiated via the idle state 'STOP'.
- the master processor 6 sets data to 0 while SC remains at 1. For all other bits, data can only be changed while SC is at 0. Data is evaluated by the receiver while SC is 1.
- the transmission begins with a data direction bit, followed by data bits. Finally, an identical confirmation bit 'Ack' is always transmitted for control purposes.
- the data backup is preferably done by repetition; Such a method places lower demands on the processors 6, 8 than methods that implement data backup using a parity bit or a checksum.
- sensitivity values can be set for the correct determination of the switching point san of the device according to the invention.
- a 4-way dip switch is provided on the evaluation unit 5 for this purpose.
