  • Publication number: 20250305865
    Abstract: A radar level measuring device is provided, the device being configured to perform a measurement for determining a level of a filling material by a frequency modulated continuous wave measurement method, the radar level measuring device including: a transmitting device configured to transmit a radar signal in a direction of a filling material surface to perform the measurement; a receiving device configured to receive the radar signal reflected from the filling material surface and to evaluate the measurement; a control device configured to control the transmitting device and the receiving device; and a selection device configured to select a parameter set for controlling the transmitting device and the receiving device, the parameter set including at least a measurement duration of the measurement, a minimum measurement frequency and a maximum measurement frequency of the measurement, and a number of consecutive measurements.

  • Publication number: 20240401995
    Abstract: A field device for detecting a process parameter and being configured as a level measuring device for detecting a level of a medium is provided, the field device including: a sensor arrangement configured to detect a measurement signal correlating with a process parameter; and a computing arrangement configured to determine a measured value of the process parameter based on the measurement signal, the computing arrangement having a deterministic computer and an artificial intelligence (AI) computer based on AI, the field device being further configured to train the AI computer during operation of the AI computer. A method for training an AI computing module based on AI on a field device for detecting a process parameter is also provided. A method for operating a field device for detecting a process parameter is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20240192044
    Abstract: A measuring device for process automation in an industrial or private environment is provided, including: a sensor circuit configured to detect one or more measured variables; and a control circuit configured to determine a measurement result from the detected one or more measured variables and to determine a difference between a temperature of the sensor circuit and a reference temperature detected during a calibration of a self-test function of the measuring device, the control circuit being further configured to perform a correction of the measurement result depending on the difference between the temperature of the sensor circuit and the reference temperature during execution of the self-test function. A method for performing a correction of a measurement result of a measuring device for process automation in an industrial or private environment is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20230332939
    Abstract: A level-measuring device, for determining a level of a medium is described, with an evaluation unit, that generates a measuring signal for determining the level based on a digitally converted signal of a reflected signal emitted from the level-measuring device toward the medium, wherein the level is determined based on a characteristic feature of the measuring signal; and that monitors, by way of a monitoring function, the determination of the level based on the characteristic feature and wherein the monitoring function selectively has at least one of a higher quality level and a lower quality level to the determination of the level.
