Endress+Hauser Micropilot FMR6xB radar level instruments

Endress+Hauser has launched its latest generation of Micropilot 80 GHz radar sensors: the FMR60B, FMR62B, FMR63B, FMR66B and FMR67B. The compact sensors are suitable for challenges when measuring points aren’t easily accessible, or located in dusty areas and harsh environments with extreme process temperatures and process conditions.

The latest range of sensors comes equipped with wizards that operate via multiple HMI formats, including the SmartBlue app, and make the sensors easier to use. Besides tried-and-tested digital communication protocols like HART, other digital protocols such as Profibus and Ethernet/APL will be included in the near future.

Commissioning and operation of the radar devices is designed to be straightforward and intuitive. Users are guided through the process by integrated assistants (wizards), thus preventing errors and enabling the devices to be successfully commissioned with limited experience or training. In conjunction with Heartbeat Technology, processes can be monitored continuously and verifications performed in less than three minutes while the process is running.

The HistoROM mobile data memory transfers measuring point parameters without error when the electronics are replaced. The device is repaired quickly and smoothly without requiring specialised user knowledge.

The Micropilot radar range also meets all safety requirements. It has been developed following IEC 61508 and can be used in SIL2 or SIL3 applications with homogeneous redundancy. Instrument-led sequences also guide the user step by step through commissioning, parameter configuration or SIL proof testing, thus preventing systematic errors and increasing safety.
