  • Patent number: 10113900
    Abstract: A radar level gauge comprising a physical communication interface bi-directional communication of data structured according to either a first digital communication protocol or a second digital communication protocol, first communication circuitry for communicating measurement data from the field device, second communication circuitry for enabling configuration of the field device, protocol identification circuitry connected to the communication interface for intercepting data and configured to parse intercepted data to identify the digital communication protocol, and control circuitry for directing the intercepted data to one of the first and second communication circuitries based on the identified protocol.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7098843
    Abstract: A radar level gauge system for determining the filling level of a filling material in a tank is disclosed. The system comprises an antenna device for emitting measuring signals towards the surface of the filling material and a receiver device for receiving echo signals from the tank. Further, the system comprises processing circuitry for determining the filling level of the tank based on said echo signal, wherein said processing circuitry is adapted to amplify the received echo signals in dependence of the distance from which the echo signals originates, in such a way that an echo signal from a lower filling level is more amplified than an echo signal from a higher filling level. The processing circuitry is adjustable to optimize the amplification of the echo signal based on the height of the tank. A corresponding processing circuitry and method of operation is also disclosed.
