Operating principle
FMCW: Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave FMCW-Radar uses a high-frequency signal (~10 GHz) which increases in frequency linearity during the measurement (frequeny sweep). The signal is emitted, reflected on the measuring surface and received time-delayed. For further signal processing the difference f is calculated from the actual transmit frequency and the receive frequency. The difference is directly proportional to the distance i.e. a large frequency difference correspond to a large distance and vice versa. This frequency difference is converted into a frequency spectrum using a Fourier transformation (FFT) and yields the distance to the surface. The level in turn is the difference between surface and previously determined empty tank distance. First and only FMCW-Radar with 2-wire technology

Hygienic connections available

Various antenna designs in various materials

Measuring range up to 20 m (66 ft)

Communication
BM 702 can communicate via various interfaces: HART PROFIBUS-PA (in preparation) For parametrisation and evaluation the user-friendly Software PC-CAT is available.

Flexibility through modular design The system consists of:

G Converter G Flange G Antenna

The antenna is completely encapsulated which means that the converter can be replaced without interupting the process, without purging the tank, and without having to discard the cleansing fluid as industrial waste.

BM 702 User program PC-CAT for Windows

Our BM 702 is easy to install. To facilitate configuration, each unit is supplied with the intuitive and time-tried software, PC-CAT for Windows. PC-CAT provides a number of useful features including:
G G G G G G

PC-CAT works on all IBM-compatible PCs using Windows 9x or NT. PC-CAT Version 4.00 and higher can communicate with all current KROHNE level radar gauges including BM 70 A/P, BM 700, BM 702 versions, also with HART protocol and RS 485. The PC-CAT kit includes a PC adapter for current output. The adapter can be connected to the PCs standard RS 232 interface.

PC-CAT files can later be used to analyse the performance of the level gauge. All graphs and screens can be exported to word processing systems or other programs. The customers PC containing PC-CAT is connected to the current output via the supplied PC adapter, max. distance from the level gauge: 1000 m or 3300 ft. The PC adapter has no effect on in-line instruments such as milliammeters, recorders, etc., connected to the current output. With every BM 702 delivery you get the freeware program PC-CAT for Windows Lite (Vers. 4.01 / Order No.: V 5001 00 506). Herewith you can perform the normal configuration, simple analyses and record PC-CAT files - all you need is a regular HART-adapter.

Quick on-site configuration Print-out of configuration protocol Simple conversion, volume or correction tables Check routine to monitor functionality of the BM 702 Monitoring and recording of the radar signal during operation Trend and evaluation of the signal during operation

PC-CAT allows convenient remote control of all functions of the signal converter. The vessel can be shown in schematic form together with the associated measured values and the measured spectrum. A trend graph of the output signal and threshold signal strength is also provided. All relevant instrument data can be recorded in the form of a data set small enough to be stored on a floppy disk or transferred electronically. Stored data can also be used for configuring other units of the BM 70 product line.
