Description
2.1
Overview
SITRANS SL is a diode laser gas analyzer with a measuring principle based on the specific
light absorption of different gas components. SITRANS SL is suitable for fast, non-contact
measurement of gas concentrations in process or flue gases. An analyzer consisting of
transmitter and receiver unit (sensors) is used for each measuring point. The hardware for
further processing of the measured signal into a concentration value, as well as the
monitoring, control and communication functions, are integrated in these two main modules.
The sensors are designed for operation under harsh environmental conditions.

Operating principle
SITRANS SL is a gas analyzer employing single line molecular absorption spectroscopy. A
diode laser emits a beam of infrared light which passes through the process gas and is
detected by a receiver unit. The wavelength of the laser diode output is tuned to a gas
specific absorption line. The laser continuously scans this single absorption line with a very
high spectral resolution (see following figure). The degree of absorption and the line shape
are used for the evaluation. The measurement is free of cross-interferences, since the quasimonochromatic laser light is absorbed very selectively by only one specific line in the
scanned spectral range.

②

Figure 2-6
Typical spectral bandwidth of an absorption line compared to the bandwidth of the laser
light.
The field design of the SITRANS SL in-situ gas analyzer consists of a transmitter unit and a
receiver unit. The light which is not absorbed by the sample is detected in the receiver. The
concentration of the gas component is determined from the absorption.
The individual dependencies of concentration, pressure and temperature are application
specific.
An internal reference cell is used to constantly check the stability of the spectrometer, thus
assuring a continuous self-calibration of the analyzer.
The self-calibration of the analyzer is therefore valid for the time period specified in the
technical data without the necessity for external recalibration using calibration gases.

Configuration
The main feature of the in-situ analytical procedure is that the physical measurement takes
place directly in the stream of process gas and directly in the actual process gas line. All
process parameters such as gas matrix, pressure, temperature, moisture, dust load, flow
velocity and mounting orientation can influence the measuring properties of the SITRANS SL
and therefore must be considered for each new application.
The standard applications listed in the ordering data for the SITRANS SL are distinguished in
that the typical process conditions are adequately well-known and documented. If you
cannot find your application among the standard applications, please contact Siemens AG.
We will be pleased to check your possible individual application of the SITRANS SL.

2.5.2
Influences on the measurement
Dust load
As long as the laser beam is able to generate a suitable detector signal, the dust load in the
process gas does not influence the analytical result. By applying a dynamic background
correction, measurements can be carried out without any negative impact.
The influence of a high dust load is extremely complex, and depends on the optical path
length and particle size. The optical damping increases exponentially at longer path lengths.
Smaller particles also have a very large influence on the optical damping. With high dust
load, long path length and small particle size, the technical support at Siemens AG should be
consulted.
Temperature
The temperature influence on the absorption line is compensated by the software. A
temperature signal should be fed into the analyzer from an external temperature sensor. The
signal is then used for mathematical correction of the influence of the temperature on the
observed line strength. If the process gas temperature remains constant, a static correction
can be carried out as an alternative. Without temperature compensation, the relative error
caused by changes in the gas temperature has an extensive effect on the measurement.
An external temperature signal is recommended in most cases.
Pressure
The process gas pressure can affect the line shape of the molecular absorption line. For
known pressure values, the SITRANS SL uses a special algorithm to adapt the line shape.
Additionally, an external pressure signal can be fed to the analyzer to provide complete
mathematical compensation for the pressure influence including the density effect
(depending on application and gas).
An external pressure signal is recommended in most cases.
Interferences
The SITRANS SL is able to measure the desired gas components very selectively. In special
cases, the composition of the process gas might have an influence on the shape of the
absorption lines. This influence is compensated by analyzing the full shape of the detected
signal curve applying specific algorithms.

Description
2.5 Functional description
Optical path length
As a result of Beer-Lambert's law, the absorption of laser light depends on the optical path
length within the gas. Therefore the precision of the optical path length measurement has an
effect on the precision of the total measurement.
Since the sensor optics on the process side usually have to be purged to keep them clean
for a longer period, the extent of the mixed zone between the purging medium and the
process gas as well as the concentration distribution of the latter must be considered. In a
typical in-situ installation with an optical path length of several meters, the influence of the
purging gas on the effective path length can be ignored.
The path length and dust load are mutually influencing: the higher the dust load in the
process, the shorter the max. possible path length.
The transmitter and receiver units are mounted on process flanges provided by the
customer. Correct alignment of these flanges must be guaranteed, e.g. by using the optional
sensor alignment kit.
Adjustment of the sensor pair
The process flanges of the SITRANS SL must be correctly aligned so that the laser beam
generated by the transmitter hits the photodetector in the receiver unit. This is guaranteed in
that the transmitter and receiver units have a curved surface integrated in the flanges. The
adjustment is carried out by shifting the flanges on these surfaces, through which the
symmetry axis is aligned. The axis can be offset by ±1 degree, which means that the
process flanges must be welded onto the process wall with at least this accuracy - see
following figure.

Purging
The easiest way to avoid condensation and dust deposits on the sensor windows is to purge
them, e.g. with air. Purging must be selected depending on the application. The transmittedlight sensors can therefore be configured for the respective situation.
The purging gas must not contain any concentrations of the measurement component. The
presence of the gas in the sensor heads or the purging tubes may influence the measured
concentration.
Recommendations for suitable purging and quality requirements of the purging gases can be
obtained from chapter Technical data (Page 181)

Purging on process side
For purging on the process side, the flow of purging gas can be adjusted between 0 and
approx. 50 l/min at each sensor head using a needle valve (included in delivery).
Purging tubes
The purging media used on the process side flows through the purging tubes into the
process gas stream. The tubes extend into the process area by a few centimeters, usually
perpendicular to the process gas stream. The effective measuring path in the process gas is
defined as the distance between the ends of the two purging tubes. The standard length of
the purging tubes is 340 mm. To enable sufficient pivoting, the process wall should be max.
150 mm thick.

Maintenance and fault messages
The SITRANS SL carries out continuous self-monitoring, and outputs alarms and warnings
to indicate maintenance requirements or a system fault. The information is output as plain
text on the LUI display, where symbols identify the category and the severity of the fault.
Alarm categories:
● Maintenance (system must be cleaned or repaired)
● Process value (problem with external sensor, or process conditions outside the
permissible range for SITRANS SL)
● Configuration (SITRANS SL is not correctly configured)
Severity:
● Fault (measurements could not be carried out)
● Warning (measurements may be inaccurate, or the system will soon shut down
measuring mode if an intervention is not made)
● Advanced warning/information (measurements are carried out)
The two binary (relay) outputs can be configured freely for the alarm output.
The response of the analog outputs in the event of an alarm is configurable; possible actions
are:
● Off (current measured value is displayed)
● Last measured value (freezing of last value displayed)
● Standard level (setting to predefined value)
● 3 mA (Namur NE43 fault status)
In addition, the transmission is available as an output variable.
Note
Specific requirements for the measuring point might require the utilization of special sensor
equipment. The possibilities for adapting the sensors are:
Special materials for purging tubes (on request)

Product characteristics
Device-specific characteristics
SITRANS SL is designed for measurement of various gases. Details can be obtained from
chapter Technical Data, standard applications section
Transmission
The system will have full performance when the transmission is within the range of
1 to 100 %.
Dust load
The characteristics of the dynamic changes of optical visibility due to dust including
turbulences is defined by the measurement situation. The influence of dust on the
measurement is very complex and depends on the path length and particle size distribution,
which in many cases is not known. Therefore no general limit for dust load can be given.
However, the SITRANS SL is designed to function without interruptions even at low optical
transmission. The experience indicates that the SITRANS SL systems can measure even at
quasi-static changes of the received optical power of at least 30 dB. This corresponds under
certain conditions to dust loads of up to 100 g/Nm3 at a path length of 1 m.
Gas analyzer functions
The SITRANS SL can be operated as an independent unit providing the following functions:
● Output signals
The analyzer can output two measurement values:
– gas concentration and
– optical transmission level (through the measuring volume).
● Alarm functions
The analyzer provides alarms/warnings for:
– Transmission drop-off
– Signal quality (if transmission is not sufficient as quality indicator)
– Warnings for system deviations before actual error occurs
– Alarms at system failure.
● Measurement inputs
The analyzer needs to use readings from other sensors to compensate the measured
concentration for varying temperature and pressure. If needed for future applications, it is
also possible to compensate for interference from another gas component.
● Local User Interface (LUI)
The LUI display is located in the receiver housing unit with a back light LCD visible
through a window in the housing lid. It is operated using the IR remote control. The
remote control is safe to use even in a hazardous environment.

As condensation is normally a problem when moving the device from outdoor to the inside
of a building, the device should be adapted to the new ambient conditions for a couple of
hours before starting it.
NOTICE
The front (lid) side of the units must be accessible. To facilitate maintenance and service
there shall be at least 60 cm of free space in front of SITRANS SL transmitter and receiver
respectively. To meet the safety requirements for air convection and cooling there must be
a free space of at least 10 cm around the SITRANS SL.
Supply voltage
When the supply voltage is interrupted for more than 20 ms the unit performs an automatic
restart. 120 sec after the restart the unit works properly again.
With a slow rise of supply voltage the unit may stop working. A manual restart may be
necessary.

Preparations
CAUTION
Risk of damage due to high temperature
The temperature on the process side of the wedge window must not exceed 200 °C
(392 °F).The maximum permissible temperature of the flange is 70 °C (158 °F). For these
applications we recommend a process-side purging with a permanent temperature
monitoring.
Before the sensor can be installed at the measurement point, process flanges have to be
welded onto the measuring site. The flanges must be compatible with DN50/PN10-40 or
ANSI 4"/150 lb with a minimum inner diameter of 50 mm. The flanges must protrude at least
150 mm from the wall and 0-30 mm into the furnace or funnel. Flange tubes should never be
longer than the purge tube which has a standard length of 340 mm.
If longer flange tubes are needed for any reason customized purging tubes (longer) have to
be used. If you require further information, you can request the required information from
your Siemens contact person. You will find details of your local contact persons over the
Internet. For details see Service and support (Page 201)

4.2 Mounting
At installation of the SITRANS SL, the laser and the photo-detector have to be aligned to the
optical axis of the sensor pair. Note that each sensor has an optical axis of its own which is
its axis of symmetry. In addition the sensor body is at an angle to this axis. The reason for
this is that the laser beam passes a wedged window before exiting. This wedge window will
refract the beam approximately 1.5°. The following figure illustrates this.

downwards.
Proceed as follows:
1. Check that the flanges are installed properly.
2. Mount the receiver and transmitter, both with gaskets on the flanges and cross-tighten
the bolts.
3. Align the sensors as described in section Alignment of SITRANS SL (Page 57).
CAUTION
Do not install sensors that require purging before the purging media is accessible. Never
leave a purged sensor with the purging media switched off since the process windows
can be easily damaged.
Note
The stability of the sensor alignment depends on the stability of the construction to which
the customer’s flange is mounted. If the incinerator wall or smoke duct is subject to
movements due to, for instance, thermal changes the sensors will need repeated
realignment. This can be avoided by mounting the sensor pair on an external, more
stable base, such as a concrete or steel support.

Alignment of SITRANS SL
Both sensors of the SITRANS SL have to be aligned such that the laser beam from the
transmitter hits the photo detector in the receiver. To facilitate this both transmitter and
receiver have a spherical surface incorporated in the flanges. The alignment is done by
adjusting the position of the flanges on this surface by means of two adjustment screws and
thus pointing the axis of symmetry - see following figure.

4.4.2
Alignment procedure
CAUTION
Alignment procedure
Correct alignment is crucial for proper operation of the analyzer. The alignment procedure
has to be carried out with utmost care.
1. Before mounting the alignment kit, make sure that the contact surface between flange
and the alignment kit is clean.
2. During the adjustment procedure make sure that you have obtained the smallest
possible focal spot and that it is positioned at the very center of the crosshair.
3. Before remounting the sensors make sure that the contact surfaces between sensors
and flanges are clean.
The aim of the alignment procedure is to provide a collinear optical axis of both receiver unit
and transmitter unit. To do so first align the receiver to the transmitter and then align the
transmitter to the receiver.
To align a sensor, a point light source is mounted to the flange on the opposite side of the
sensor to be aligned, and the alignment optics is mounted to the flange of the sensor. This
flange is aligned by centering the projected image of the point source to the center of the
cross hair of the alignment tool.

8.
Now you will see a light spot
from the light source,
provided it is turned on.
Focus by moving the outer
part as indicated in the
adjacent figure until you get
the smallest and sharpest
possible spot. The size of the
square spot depends on the
distance between the
receiver and the transmitter;
the longer the path the
smaller the spot.
Use the lens hood to
suppress ambient light for a
better visibility of the focused
light.
9.
Align the transmitter using the
supplied Allen key by turning
the two screws without
springs until the focused spot
appears in the center of the
crosshair.
Do not turn the screws with
the springs!
10. Remove the coarse aligning
unit and replace it with the
fine aligning unit.
Verify if the target of the fine
alignment unit is orientated
such that the "B" axis points
to the purging inlet of the
flange.

4.5 Purging
4.5
Purging
The easiest way to avoid condensation and dust deposits on the sensor windows or
excessively high thermal load of the windows and the sealing material as well as the sensor
electronics is to purge them, e.g. with air. Purging must be selected depending on the
application. The sensors can therefore be configured for the respective situation.
There are two different types
● Purging of optical process interfaces
● Purging of sensors.
Note
Not all purging options are available to all applications. Please refer to the specification of
each application for details.
4.5.1
Sensor side purging
For some applications (e. g. oxygen) purging of the sensors is necessary. In this case a
needle valve and an exit aperture must be mounted on the sensors. The exit aperture is
used to build up a slight overpressure inside the sensor to enable the purging gas to
penetrate all relevant areas within a short time during all measurements.
The purging gas must not contain any concentrations of the measurement component. The
presence of the gas in the sensor heads or the purging tubes may influence the measured
concentration. In oxygen measurements it is necessary to purge the sensor with an oxygen
free gas, such as nitrogen.
When measuring CO also purging of the sensor may be considered. Normally the CO
content in standard air is lower than the detection limit of SITRANS SL. Nevertheless, the
CO content may be higher inside buildings and industrial plants due to exhalation or
combustion processes. In this case sensor purging is necessary.
CAUTION
When the sensor purging is connected to the process purging, it may be necessary to use
non-return valves to ensure no process gas can enter the purging gas line in the event of
failure of the purging gas supply. This applies especially in the case of cascaded process
and sensor purging where there is otherwise the danger that, for example, corrosive
process gases could enter the sensor enclosure.
64
SITRANS SL
Operating Instructions, 12/2010, A5E01132948-04
Installing
4.5 Purging
Note
When continuous purging is needed, make sure that the purging gas rate is 3 to 5 l/min. This
rate assures that there is time enough to flush all measurement components out of the
sensor. Purging with nitrogen on the sensor side is almost always necessary for O2
applications to avoid an offset caused by the oxygen of the air present in the unit. The cells
in the sensor head are then continuously purged with nitrogen. Particularly when (re)starting
the SITRANS SL O2, a sufficiently high flow of purging gas of approx. 3 to 5 l/min must be
provided for several minutes to ensure that all residues of oxygen are displaced. The flow of
sensor purging gas can subsequently be set to a lower value using the needle valve
(included in delivery).
4.5.2
Process side purging
This function is optional. With this option a needle valve is supplied with the analyzer. It is up
to the customer to mount it on the process interface.
WARNING
Observe that the use of this needle valve opens up into the process. The process must be
permanently monitored if it is under pressure. If any danger for personnel or equipment can
arise from the over pressurized process we recommended to mount a check valve on the
process interface to prevent flow out from the process.
Make sure that under no circumstances the process gas will intrude into the purging
system. This applies particularly to a cascaded sensor and process purging which
otherwise may lead to ingress of corrosive process gases.
CAUTION
Always install the purging system before you install the sensors to avoid damage to the
optics during the rest of the installation process. For optimal results use sensors equipped
for the specific purging type, supplied by Siemens AG.

WARNING
Never switch on or operate an analyzer with lid open.
Before opening the device wait at least two minutes after de-energizing. Make sure that
externally powered signals also shall be de-energized.
For secure disconnection of all signals the device should be operated in hazardous areas
only via a switch-off unit placed outside the hazardous area.
WARNING
Never repair the device on site!
Any components not mentioned in the spare parts list must be replaced or repaired by
certified field service technicians. Failure to do so will also result in loss of Ex approval.
WARNING
Before switching on the analyzer make sure that the housing is closed and grounded.
The protective earth terminal of the SITRANS SL needs to be connected to the local
potential equalization system.
Death, personal injury and/or damage to property may result if this is not observed.
WARNING
The use of the alignment kit (A5E01000740) for aligning the sensors is not covered by the
ATEX certificate of the SITRANS SL analyzer.
Never use the kit in the ATEX zone without permission of the plant manager (hot work

Materials in the sensor pair
The sensor pair (transmitter and receiver) is built mainly using stainless or surface treated
steel and Aluminium 231 (maximum magnesium content 0.5%). The O-rings and gaskets
used are made of FKM (fluorine-polymer) or FFKM (perfluoro elastomer). The process
interface consists of a borosilicate glass window and an O-ring made of FKM. If the gas
purging of the sensor will fail the O-rings will be the limiting component for the temperature.
They can withstand 215 °C/420 °F (FKM).
Pressure Safety
In some applications the process can be over pressurized. Normally this is not a situation
where the measurements will be adequate.
WARNING
The high pressure glass in the sensors must not be subject to any mechanical impact which
might cause damage to the glass (scratch, gash etc.). Only use a soft cloth for cleaning of
the glass. Make sure that it is safe to dismount the sensor before cleaning.
WARNING
Make sure all plugs and tube fittings are sealed with the enclosed pipe thread Sealant
(Swagelok MS-PTS-6). (Instructions given on the sealant tube must be carefully followed).
Approval
The concept of the ATEX approval is that the system is not modified and that special ATEX
approved cables and bushings are used. An absolute condition for the approval is that the
equipment is setup according to ATEX system set-up (Page 71) .
Liability
Following commissioning, the total responsibility is with the owner.

Overview of the ATEX version of SITRANS SL
SITRANS SL is delivered with the cables already connected in the receiver and the
transmitter. The cable to the customer side is approximately 3 meters long and must be
connected in a junction box (not part of the delivery) in which the customer cable is joined to
the system. The sensor connection cable ⑮ is delivered in a standard length (5 m, 10 m or
25 m) and can be cut to a convenient length. The sensor connection cable is then connected
to two junction boxes which are mounted to the receiver and transmitter respectively.

5.2.1
Introduction
The basic principles of explosion protection are the same all over the world. However,
technologies have developed in North America in the field of explosion protection for electric
equipment and installations which are considerably different from those of the IEC
(International Electrotechnical Commission). The differences from IEC technologies are
among others the classification of hazardous locations, the construction of devices and the
installation of electric systems.
WARNING
The FM certificate is a system certificate and is only valid if SITRANS SL is installed
according to the instructions given in the certificate.
5.2.2
Safety information
Electric safety
The SITRANS SL FM version is delivered with an approval for use in hazardous
environments in which explosive gases are in use.
WARNING
Open cable inlet or incorrect cable gland
Danger of explosion
Close the cable inlets for the electric connections. Only use cable glands or plugs which are
approved for the type of protection "Flameproof enclosure Ex d".
When using a conduit system, you must provide an ignition lock-out at a maximum distance
of 46 cm (18") from the device inlet. Screw in the conduit with at least four turns of the
thread.
Observe the specifications and laws with regard to the installation location of the device.
WARNING
Fix the safety mechanism for the lid.

SITRANS SL
Operating Instructions, 12/2010, A5E01132948-04
Explosion protection
5.2 FM
WARNING
Before opening the device wait at least two minutes after de-energizing. Make sure that
externally powered signals are also de-energized.
WARNING
Never repair the device on site!
Any components not mentioned in the spare parts list must be replaced or repaired by
certified field service technicians. Failure to do so will also result in loss of FM approval.
WARNING
Before switching on the analyzer make sure that the housing is closed and grounded.
The protective earth terminal of the SITRANS SL needs to be connected to the local
potential equalization system.
Death, personal injury and/or damage to property may result if this is not observed.
WARNING
The use of the alignment kit (A5E01000740) for aligning the sensors is not covered by the
FM certificate of the SITRANS SL analyzer.
Never use the kit in the hazardous area without permission of the plant manager (hot work
permit).
WARNING
Never open the cover of an energized SITRANS SL system in the hazardous area without
permission of the plant manager (hot work permit).
Death, personal injury and/or damage to property may result if this is not observed.
SITRANS SL FM meets all regulations specified in the present EU regulations (LVD
regulation 2006/95/EEC, EMC regulation 2004/108/EEC, ATEX regulation 94/9/EC) as well
as the regulations of the American market (FM).

Explosion protection
5.2 FM
Materials in the sensor pair
The sensor pair (transmitter and receiver) is built mainly using stainless or surface treated
steel and aluminium 231 (maximum magnesium content 0.5%). The O-rings and gaskets
used are made of FKM (fluoro polymer) or FFKM (perflour elastomer). The process interface
window is a made of borosilicate glass and contains an O-ring made of FKM. In the case that
gas purging of the sensor fails the O-rings will be the limiting component for the temperature.
They can withstand 215 °C/420 °F (FKM).
Pressure Safety
In some applications the process can be overpressurized. Normally this is not a situation
where the measurements will be adequate.
WARNING
The high pressure glass in the sensors must not be subject to any mechanical impact which
might cause damage to the glass (scratch, gash etc.). Only use a soft cloth for cleaning of
the glass. Make sure that it is safe to dismount the sensor before cleaning.
WARNING
Make sure all plugs and tube fittings are sealed with the enclosed pipe thread Sealant
(Swagelok MS-PTS-6). (Instructions given on the sealant tube must be carefully followed).
Approval
The concept of the FM approval is that the system is not modified and that special FM
approved cables and bushings are used. An absolute condition for the approval is that the
equipment is set up according to FM system set-up (Page 82).
Liability
Following commissioning, the total responsibility is with the owner.

General information for commissioning
Device position
The SITRANS SL may be mounted in any direction.
When mounting the sensors the large springs of the alignment flanges must face
downwards. All purging outlets must face downwards.
Operation
WARNING
Dangerous voltage
Certain parts in the analyzer carry dangerous voltages which can become accessible as a
result of an open cover.
Before you commission the device make sure that it is properly closed.
Never open the device during operation
Before connecting and switching on the device, the operator must be familiar with the device
operation.
The user must also be familiar with the connection and operation of:
● Analog and digital pressure and temperature sensors, e.g SITRANS P or SITRANS T
● PROFIBUS DP and SIMATIC Manager when using the PROFIBUS-enabled SITRANS SL
analyzer;
● Modbus protocol and Modbus system configuration when using the Modbus-enabled
SITRANS SL analyzer

Starting SITRANS SL for the first time
6.2.1
Defining the path length
It is recommended that the open ends of the purging tubes represent the reference points
from which the path length is determined. When the flanges are permanently installed,
measure the distance between the outside of the flanges with an accuracy of at least ±10
mm (±0.4"). This distance is used to calculate the path length by subtracting the length of the
flange tubes and will later be used in the analyzer for the calculation of the gas
concentration. In the area where the purging gas and the measurement gas are mixed there
will be a zone of uncertainty. This zone will depend on the purging flow and the flow of the
measurement gas.
The path length is entered into SITRANS SL, preferably using the remote control. The path
length is the distance (l) according to the following figure. For measuring the path length (l)
refer also to Installation of process flanges (Page 43).

(Page 111).
6.3
PROFIBUS configuration for SITRANS SL
Information on the input and output range as well as the consistency of cyclically transmitted
data is defined in the device master data file (GSD file). Using the configuration package,
this information is checked by the device and declared valid. During projection phase the
data to be transmitted in cyclical operation will be determined. This enables an optimal
quantity of the data to be transmitted. In the Siemens control system, the GSD files of all
commonly used devices are already available. These GSD files are also available on the
Internet for a subsequent import.
6.3.1
Cyclic data transfer
Cyclic data transmission is used to transfer data necessary for process automation between
the control or automation system (class 1 master) and the SITRANS SL device.
Setting the PROFIBUS address
The PROFIBUS address is factory-set to 126. It can be changed by the user
● using LUI (see section Menu - Communication (Page 125))
or
● using the configuration tool LDSComm.

Network configuration with SIMATIC Manager
The SIMATIC Manager Step7 is the network configuration tool that will be used to configure
the PROFIBUS DP network.
SIMATIC Manager uses GSD files in order to know the properties of the devices in the
network configuration. The configuration is then loaded to the PLC for informing the PLC
about the PROFIBUS slaves in the network.
After the network configuration is loaded to the PLC, the PROFIBUS communication will be
started by the PLC with the configured slaves.
The steps for creating and loading a Step7 project are:
1. Create the project by selecting CPU and organization blocks.
To do so use the 'New Project Wizard'.
2. Build the network configuration in hardware configuration window and compile.
3. Write the application software for the organization blocks in STL, LAD or FBD.
4. Adjust the PG/PC interface.
5. Download hardware configuration, system data and the organization blocks to the PLC
6. Wait for the PLC to restart.
7. Check the status LEDs on the PLC for a proper PROFIBUS communication. The Red SF
and BF LEDs must be off and the green RUN LED must be on.

Byte and word ordering
● The interpretation of the data field within the Modbus RTU protocol is according to the
original Modbus Application Protocol Specification "big endian Mode".
● Given that the Modbus RTU message protocol is "big endian", in order to successfully
exchange a 32 bit data type via a Modbus RTU message, the endianness of both master
and slave must be ensured. SITRANS SL allows specific selection of byte orders, so you
must take care that both units are set to the same byte order.

In the example above; an alarm related to a measurement being out of range went active
after 381 days, 8 hours, 12 minutes and 34 seconds of runtime. Note that the time refers to
systems total run time; the SITRANS SL does not have a real time clock.
The groups are sorted by the time for the last event. The group which last had a change of
status is on top of the list. Each group will only appear once in the list, so the group view will
not display the entire history.
The log book details screen
When "details" is opened for a group the underlying alarm log is displayed. The "details"
screen gives technical information of the exact cause for the problem.
The alarm events are displayed in the same format as the groups are; with status event,
alarm name and the time-stamp of the event.
The two possible events for an alarm are:
● Went active (+)
● Went inactive (-)
The size of the log book is limited and can store 4 events for each individual alarm.
Note that when one alarm within a group goes active the group is active. The group is
inactive when all of the underlying alarms are inactive. For this reason there can be alarms
within a group that are more recent than indicated by the group’s time-stamp, i.e. when an
alarm within a group becomes active while the group contains active alarms.
Log book groups and alarms are defined in chapter Alarm, error, and system messages
(Page 163).

PROFIBUS DP interface
Note
You can obtain further information from the PROFIBUS user organization or on the Internet
at (www.profibus.com).
8.1.1
PROFIBUS installation
When you use the PROFIBUS DP interface then use the designated PROBIBUS DP cable,
e.g. the PROFIBUS DP hybrid cable which includes instrument power and ground
conductors.
Cable requirements
Type-A PROFIBUS hybrid cable with conductors for supply voltage and protective earth. The
ATEX variant is delivered with 3m of PROFIBUS hybrid cable mounted.
Connecting to the bus
To install the SITRANS SL as the single or as the last device of a PROFIBUS segment:
1. Ensure that the termination resistor is turned on.
2. Connect the PROFIBUS hybrid cable to the SITRANS SL receiver.
3. Use a junction box to connect PROFIBUS network and power to the PROFIBUS hybrid
cable.

129
Interfaces to automation systems
8.1 PROFIBUS DP interface
To install the SITRANS SL as a device in-between other devices on a PROFIBUS segment:
1. Ensure that the termination resistor is turned off.
2. Connect the PROFIBUS hybrid cable to the SITRANS SL receiver.
3. Use a junction box to connect supply voltage to the PROFIBUS hybrid cable.
4. For connecting the SITRANS SL to the PROFIBUS segment there are two options:
– Active bus tap-off: Use a bus terminal, repeater or an active cable to make the Tconnection. In an Ex environment the repeater used must either be certified for use in
an Ex environment, or be placed in a safe zone.
– Passive bus tap-off (stub-wire): Connect the SITRANS SL directly to the PROFIBUS
segment.
Note
Note that the hybrid cable will become a stub-wire of the PROFIBUS segment.
This solution should only be considered by experienced PROFIBUS users, and if the
network segment is known to have good quality. According to the PROFIBUS
standard, the total length of stub-wires in a PROFIBUS segment must be less than
6.6 m at 1.5 Mbits/s provided that Type A cable is used. For higher bit-rates, stubwires shall not be used.
Reference Voltage
● Grounded reference voltage system
This is the standard arrangement for PROFIBUS DP devices, where the shield of the
PROFIBUS cable is connected to protective earth (PE) at every device.
To achieve this in the SITRANS SL, connect screw terminal 15 (PROFIBUS shield) to
screw terminal 24 (Ground) in the SITRANS SL Receiver.
● Non-Grounded reference voltage system
To achieve this in the SITRANS SL, ensure that screw terminal 15 (PROFIBUS shield) is
connected only to the shield of the PROFIBUS cable. Ensure that the shield of the
PROFIBUS cable is not connected to the chassis at the cable gland.
The SITRANS SL is equipped with a standard R/C circuit between PROFIBUS shield and
protective earth (PE) in order to improve interference immunity for non-grounded
reference voltage systems.

Safe operation
For safe operation of PROFIBUS DP note the following points:
● Observe the general PROFIBUS guidelines for installation.
● When installing the SITRANS SL as the only analyzer, or as the last analyzer in a
PROFIBUS DP network:
– Ensure to switch on the terminal resistor on. The switch is found next to the screw
terminals in the receiver unit.
● When installing the SITRANS SL on a PROFIBUS DP network, where there are
subsequent devices:
– Ensure to switch the terminal resistor off. The switch is found next to the screw
terminals in the receiver unit.
– As the SITRANS SL connection cable will be a stub wire of the PROFIBUS DP
network, keep the length of the stub wire as short as possible and verify that the total
length of stub wires is not exceeded in the network for the baud rate used.

Modbus installation
Connection via RS485 interface
The SITRANS SL gas analyzer provides Modbus communication to a PC or an automation
system via an RS485 interface.
The SITRANS SL gas analyzer may be connected to a network. Such a network is normally
built as a bus topology which needs to be terminated via RC termination plugs. The same
applies to a point-to-point connection.
In a physical network up to 32 SITRANS SL analyzers may be connected to a Modbus
system via the RS485 interface.
Cable type
A two lined twisted pair cable with shielding is used for the Modbus connection. The
maximum cable length is limited to 1200 m.
Signal converter
If the PC has no RS485 interface, an RS232/RS485 signal converter must be linked between
the PC and the Modbus network.
Termination resistor
The termination resistor on the junction board must be switched off.
Connection
● Data (N) = PROFIBUS A (electric connector 13 on junction board of SITRANS SL)
● Data (P)= PROFIBUS B (electric connector 14 on junction board of SITRANS SL)
● Shield= PROFIBUS shield (electric connector 15 on junction board of SITRANS SL)
Performance requirement
The minimum access interval from Modbus master is >100 ms.

Instrument verification
The SITRANS SL should be verified within the time interval stated in the Technical data
(Page 181). This procedure can be done by the customer or the Siemens Service.
The verification of the instrument shall only be performed with the appropriate verification kit
(see accessory list in section "Accessories (Page 193)").
Each verification process should be documented. For this purpose there are verification
sheets included in Verification Sheets (Page 198) of this operating instructions.
If the verification fails, contact Siemens support.
Note
The verification kit is not part of the standard delivery. If you carry out the verification
yourself, you have to order the verification kit additionally.
The zero value (the reading when there is no measurement gas in the measurement path) is
compensated by the signal processing algorithm.
Note
It is not necessary to verify the zero value in field.

Verification tube setup
The verification tube is an interface between the receiver and transmitter as shown in the
previous figure. The kit comprises a metal tube with a temperature sensor and is mounted
between the transmitter tube unit (transmitter) and receiver tube unit (receiver) during
verification. Since the verification tube has no windows, the active path will be the one
between the lenses on either tube unit. There is a small volume behind the lenses on both
sides that must be filled with nitrogen during the calibration. The SITRANS SL O2 is
designed to allow a small leakage into these volumes, and during normal usage they contain
nitrogen. By following the instructions you can assure that they stay filled with nitrogen
during the whole calibration procedure.

Span verification
For the span verification of the instrument follow steps 1 through 7 below. This process
should be documented using the form "Verification Sheet" in Appendix A (Page 198).
Step 1: Setup of verification tube
1. Start the procedure by removing the receiver and transmitter from the flanges. Depending
on the prevailing safety conditions and what is more convenient, the power may be kept
on and the sensor connection cable stay connected, or the power may be shut off and the
sensor connection cable be disconnected.
CAUTION
Never disconnect the sensor connection cable with the power switched on.
2. Mount the receiver and transmitter on the verification tube.
3. If the analyzer has been moved to a location with a different ambient temperature than
that at the installation site, you need to wait until it has been adapted to the new
temperature before proceeding from this step. In this way you avoid condensation
problems and assure static and homogeneous temperature distribution in the verification
tube.
4. If necessary, connect the sensor connection cable between the receiver and transmitter
and power up the SITRANS SL.
Step 2: Preparations and LUI settings
In order to document the verification procedure you should fill put the 'Verification sheet' form
thoroughly during verification.
1. Make a copy of the "SITRANS SL O2 Verification sheet" form you can find in Appendix A.
2. Fill out the first part (General Information).
3. Enter the password to access the Local User Interface (LUI).
Note
Remember to write down the original values before making alterations to the settings!
4. Note the current integration time in the verification sheet. Set the integration time to 20 s.
5. Note the settings for the path length in the verification sheet. Set the path length to 0.450
m which is the effective length in the verification tube. Notice that this is valid with the inline reference cell in place.

Note
If you do not use dry air, your oxygen concentration is lower due to the air moisture.

9.1 Instrument verification
8. If you use ambient air, you can correct the verification set point according to the air
moisture. Look for the ambient temperature on the x-axis of Fig. 9-2. Go vertically up to
the line of the present ambient relative humidity. Go left horizontally and find your
verification set point on the y-axis. Note this value in the "Verification Sheet".
With pressurized air of unknown moisture content you there is a higher uncertainty for the
verification set point. A good estimate is ±0.3 Vol%. O2. Note this value in the verification
sheet.
CAUTION
Use a hygrometer and a thermometer at the site where you take the ambient air. The
humidity must be measured at the temperature at which the verification is performed. If
for example the outside temperature is 0 °C and the relative humidity close to 100 %,
the relative humidity indoors at normal room temperature might only be around 20 %.
9. Enter the appropriate values for the verification errors: Instrument error (according to the
instrument specifications), temperature error and pressure error.
Temperature and pressure error depend on your measurement. If the system and the
purging gas used are well tempered you can use the error of the thermometer itself:
1 °C.For the pressure error refer to the reading of your barometer.
10.Calculate the total uncertainty of the measurement by adding instrument error, pressure
error, and temperature error.
CAUTION
Temperature and pressure influence on the verification procedure
It is very important to enter the accurate values of ambient pressure, temperature and
humidity. As a rule of thumb you need the same accuracy of the pressure or
temperature values as you expect from verification tolerance.
The value of 20.95 % is the relative concentration of oxygen in the atmosphere but the
absolute value will vary due to the barometric pressure or temperature. As an example in recent years the barometric pressure in Gothenburg, Sweden, which is at sea level,
varied between a maximum of 1 052 hPa and a minimum of 950 hPa which corresponds
to uncorrected oxygen readings between 21.78 % and 19.67 %. Although these are
extreme values they point out the importance of having an accurate pressure value
inside the tube.

Step 3: Purging with Nitrogen
Note
In the instruction it is assumed that totally oxygen free nitrogen is used. The concentration
value of the SITRANS SL during this procedure will not be lower than the oxygen content in
the nitrogen.
1. Attach your source of purging gas (N2) to the needle valve on either the receiever or
transmitter side.
2. Close the other needle valve.
3. Purge the verification tube until the concentration value falls below 0.05 Vol% O2. The
gas flow should be in a range of 4-10 l/min and the pressure of the nitrogen between
2 and 5 bar absolute. The gas should escape trough the two capillaries on the receiver
and transmitter.
4. Close the needle valve. Wait for 10 minutes. After this time the O2 value should not have
increased to more than 0.15 Vol%. If the O2 value exceeds this limit refer to section
(Problem handling: insufficient purging) at the end of this chapter for further proceedings.
5. Remove the needle valve completely on either the receiver and transmitter side. This is
necessary to avoid any over pressure in the tube.
6. Fill the verification tube according to one of the two alternatives below.
Step 4a: Filling the verification tube with ambient air
1. Disconnect both the receiver and the transmitter from the verification tube. Verification
must be performed within 10 minutes from this step to prevent air from entering into the
volume behind the lenses.
2. Swing the verification tube a few times in the air to remove the purging gas from the tube
and fill it with ambient air. Also swing the receiver and the transmitter a few times
carefully.
3. Wait for about 60 seconds.
4. Reconnect the receiver and transmitter to the verification tube. Be careful not to allow any
other gas than air to enter the tube, including breath.
Step 4b: Filling the verification tube with pressurized air
1. Disconnect the nitrogen source.
2. Attach your source of dry, oil free, pressurized air to the needle valve on either of the
receiver or transmitter side, and purge with a volume flow of approx. 4 liters/minute.
Verification must be performed within 10 minutes from this step to prevent air from
entering into the volume behind the lenses.
3. Purge until the concentration value stabilizes (concentration changes less than 0.1 vol %
/ minute) and then turn off the gas.
4. Set the manual temperature value in the LUI to the temperature displayed by the
thermometer.

Service and maintenance
9.1 Instrument verification
Step 5: Verification
1. Watch or record the measured value for at least 20 seconds to ensure that it is stable (i.
e. concentration varies not more than ±0.05 vol % / minute).
2. Take 5 successive concentration values and write them into the verification sheet.
3. If the difference between the highest and the lowest concentration value is more than the
maximum repeatability value (see technical data (Page 181)), the measurements must be
repeated.
4. Compare the average of the 5 values with the verification set point. If it lies within the
range between the set point and the total verification uncertainty, the instrument works
properly.
If the average value lies outside this range, please contact Siemens support.
5. Put the removed needle valve back into place and close it.
Repeat all steps of one of the paragraphs "Filling the verification tube with ambient air" or
"Filling the verification tube with pressurized air" as described before.
6. If the difference between measured value and verification point is more than 0.4 vol % O2
the verification procedure should be repeated from the start.
Step 6: Purging with nitrogen
To make sure that the instrument was purged well all the time during the verification
procedure another purging procedure with nitrogen is necessary. To do so:
1. Attach your nitrogen source to the remaining needle valve once more.
2. Purge the verification tube for about 5 minutes until the concentration value falls well
below 0.2 vol % O2. The gas flow should be approx. 4 l/min.
If the O2 concentration value does not fall below 0.2 vol % O2 it is obvious that too much
oxygen has entered the volume behind the lenses during verification. The verification
procedure should be repeated from the start.
3. Close the needle valve. Wait for 10 minutes. After this time the O2 concentration value
should not have increased to more than 0.15 vol % O2.
4. Note this value in the verification sheet.
Step 7: Restore
1. Restore path length, pressure correction and temperature correction to original settings
according to the notes taken.
2. After restoring correction settings, press
when you are asked to save.
button repeatedly to exit the menu. Select OK
3. Reinstall the receiver and transmitter at the industrial interfaces.

Troubleshooting: Insufficient purging
If the oxygen concentration in the verification tube moves above 0.15 vol % after having
been purged with nitrogen, this may be due to an elevated oxygen content inside the
housing units. To remove that oxygen you can follow one of the two procedures below
depending on your permission to open the lids of the housing. If you are not permitted to
open the lids, you shall just keep on purging the verification tube with nitrogen until all
oxygen in the housing is gone. This may take several hours or even a whole day. Thus the
purging should be interrupted from time to time to test if the oxygen content has fallen below
0.15 vol %. If the test result is above 0.15 vol % within a 10 minutes time you must continue
purging with nitrogen.
If you are permitted to open the lids, you should first turn on the nitrogen flow. Then open the
lids such that the gas can easily enter the gap between lid and housing, but without risk of
the lids falling off. After 15 minutes of nitrogen purging the housing should be free of oxygen.
After purging first close the lids. Then turn off the nitrogen and wait for 10 minutes. If the
oxygen value remains below 0.15 vol %, the problem is solved. If not, repeat the procedure.

Verification of systems used in hazardous areas
Verification setup
Verifying the system requires that it is mounted to the verification module.
WARNING
If the verification is to be carried out in the hazardous area be sure to confirm with the
plant manager that it is safe to do so (hot work permit)!
The thermometer is neither ATEX nor FM certified. If the thermometer therefore must be
removed, the hole where the thermometer was attached should be plugged and the
temperature measured with some other device.
Note
The verification kit is not part of the standard delivery. If you carry out the calibration
verification for your own, you have to order the verification kit additionally.
Procedure
1. The sensor and transmitter have to be dismounted from the measuring setup.
2. If necessary the cables in the receiver and the transmitter have to be disconnected. The
units have then to be moved to an appropriate location for verification. The sensors must
then be reconnected to each other using a sensor connection cable.
3. Verify the system as described in sections before.
4. Reinstall in reverse order.

2. Remove all dust particles using pressurized air or flushing water.
3. Clean the optical surface with a soft cloth. Water with a small amount of soap or a mild
detergent also works fine in many cases.
Start the cleaning process at the center and work with circular movements towards the
rim.
4. To remount the process interface, refer to section Installation . Also a new alignment of
the sensors has to be carried out.

9.2 Cleaning the optical parts of the sensor
Cleaning of lens or the process interface window on the sensor side
1. Use an appropriate tool to release the clamp ring –– and pull the sensor out.
2. Remove all dust particles using pressurized air or flushing water.
3. Clean the optical surfaces with a soft cloth. Water with a small amount of soap or a mild
detergent also works fine in many cases. Start the cleaning process at the center and
work with circular movements towards the rim.
4. When remounting the sensor, make sure that the guide pin fits the hole on the purging
flange. Screw on the lock ring and tighten it gently with the tool.
If this operation is performed properly, it will not affect the alignment of the sensor.
NOTICE
Any work with the optical lens requires utmost care. The lens is anti-reflection coated and
thus very susceptible to scratches!

Alarm
Introduction
In this chapter the word 'alarm' is used as a general term without referring to the alarm level,
i.e. if it is a failure, a warning or just informative. The actions to be taken when an alarm
trigged are specific to each alarm.

Reporting the Alarm
Binary outputs
For each alarm it is possible to select if it should affect none, one or both of the relays.
Configuration for both outputs can be edited using the LUI user interface.
Analog outputs
For each output, actions can be set up for the following cases:
● Maintenance Fault
● Maintenance Demanded
● Process Value Fault
● Process Value Warning
● Process Value Tolerance
● No Data Exchange
● Local Override
● Device Unlocked
● Configuration Warning
Possible actions:
● Off (present measured value)
● Latest (freeze on the last presented value)
● Default level (set to a predefined default level)
● 3mA (NAMUR NE43 failstate)
PROFIBUS and Modbus
PROFIBUS and Modbus have two ways of reporting a problem, quality indication and alarm.
Quality indication that comes with every cyclic data (measurements) and is either a value or
one of the following states:
● Good
● Uncertain
● Bad

LUI
The lower half of the measurement view (i.e. the standard view) of the LUI is designated for
the alarm display. Once an alarm has been triggered the alarm text is displayed together
with an icon. The icon indicates type and level of the alarm.
If several alarms are simultaneously active, the most serious alarm is displayed. To indicate
that there are more than one alarm active, the icons of for all active alarms appear
alternately but the displayed text always refers to the most serious alarm. To scroll through
key.

Start-up Failure
Relays are not activated until system has completed the start-up procedure, i.e. the alarms
go inactive when the system works properly.
When being operated via PROFIBUS or Modbus, the PLC will notice that the SITRANS SL is
missing on the bus if it does not start. In that case the PLC can generate an alarm.
States and Symbols
An alarm display on the LUI consists of a text and an icon to the left of the text. The icon
indicates type and level of an alarm.

10.3 PROFIBUS diagnosis and alarms
10.3.2
Meaning of the diagnosis information
Standard PROFIBUS-DP mechanisms are used to transport diagnosis information and to
signal actively to the class 1 master. The DIAGNOSIS parameter from the Physical Block is
then available to the master as diagnostic information.
To view the diagnosis information from PROFIBUS, the module information of the DP slave
is viewed and the respective text from the GSD file is displayed on the DP slave diagnostics
screen.
The following table shows the assignment of the error signals and maintenance requests
from the device to the diagnosis bits of the physical block in the GSD file and the related
error code. The explanation and proposed remedial actions for each error code can be found
in the Alarm list section.

Gas flow calculations
Gas flow calculations are slightly complex because gases are compressible fluids whose
density changes with pressure. In this application we are dealing with choked flow. The
outlet pressure is less than one half of the inlet pressure and the gas reaches sonic velocity
in the valve. A further decrease in outlet pressure does not increase the flow.
The flow (q) of instrument air at P1 = 6000 hPa and T1 = 25 °C (77°F) through the needle
valve when it is fully opened would then be a little more than 110 Nltr/min.
The figure below shows the flow (q) as a function of the up-stream pressure (P1). There are
two parameters in the diagram, the process pressure (Pp) and the temperature of the purge
gas which is assumed to be air. The diagram shows the flow through a system with a total Cv
of 0.1. The flow increases linearly with Cv.
q = the flow rate on the low pressure side [Nl/min.]
Cv= the flow coefficient (0.1 for the needle valve in our standard sensor)
P1 = the inlet absolute pressure [hPa]
Gg = the gas specific gravity (air = 1.0)
T1 = the upstream temperature [°C]
Pp = process pressure [hPa]

A.2 ESD (ElectroStatic Discharge)
A.2
ESD (ElectroStatic Discharge)
ESD is the rapid, spontaneous transfer of electrostatic charge induced by a high electrostatic
field. Electrostatic damage to electronic devices can occur at any point from manufacture to
field service. Damage results from handling the devices in uncontrolled surroundings or
when poor ESD control practices are used. Generally damage is classified as either a
catastrophic failure or a latent defect.
Note
Usually, the charge flows through a spark between two objects at different electrostatic
potentials as they approach one another.
The symbol to the left indicates an ESD protected area, where all workspaces are ESD
protected and all personnel must wear wrist straps. This symbol will be used in this chapter
to indicate that a service task requires ESD protection.
A catastrophic failure means that exposure to an ESD event has caused an electronic device
to stop functioning. Such failures usually can be detected when the device is tested before
shipment.
A latent defect, on the other hand, is more difficult to identify. It means that the device has
only been partially degraded from exposure to an ESD event. Latent defects are extremely
difficult to prove or detect using current technology, especially after the device is assembled
into a finished product.

Electrostatic charging
Anyone who is not connected to the electric potential of their surroundings can be
electrostatically charged.
The following figure shows the maximum electrostatic voltage which may build up on a
person coming into contact with the materials indicated. These values correspond to
IEC 801-2 specifications.

Electrostatic voltages that can be charged to an operator
It is of utmost importance that ESD protective procedures are used during service in the
field. The components used in the laser analyzer have all been protected from ESD through
the whole production chain.
Ground Everything
Effective ESD grounds are of critical importance in any operation, and ESD grounding
should be clearly defined and regularly evaluated. According to the ESD Association
Standard ANSI EOS/ESD all conductors in the environment, including personnel, must be
bonded or electrically connected and attached to a known ground, bringing all ESD
protective materials and personnel to the same electric potential. This potential can be above
a "zero" voltage ground reference as long as all items in the system are at the same
potential. It is important to note that non-conductors in an Electrostatic Protected Area (EPA)
cannot lose their electrostatic charge by attachment to ground.

Appendix
A.3 Verification Sheets
Wrist Straps
In many facilities, people are one of the prime generators of static electricity. Therefore, wrist
straps must be used while carrying out maintenance and service on the laser analyzer, to
keep the person wearing it connected to ground potential. A wrist strap consists of the cuff
that goes around the person's wrist and the ground cord that connects the cuff to the
common point ground.
Work Surface
An ESD protective work surface is defined as the work area of a single individual,
constructed and equipped to limit damage to ESD sensitive items. The work surface helps to
define a specific work area in which ESD sensitive devices may be safely handled. The work
surface is connected to the common point ground by a resistance to ground of 106 Ω to 109
Ω. This is done by using a soft bench mat, which is connected to ground, on the work
surface. All equipment must be connected to grounded outlets and all personnel must wear
wrist straps connected to the bench mat using a cord.
A.3
Verification Sheets
Instrument Verification
Albeit the SITRANS SL provides a high long-term stability due to the built-in, maintenancefree reference gas cell, a verification should be carried out at regular intervals. Details of that
procedure are described in section 9.1. (Page 149)
This procedure should be documented using the appropriate verification sheet provided later
in this section. It can be separated from manual using a knife or a pair of scissors.

Glossary
Analog
Continuous representation of a variable, e.g. voltage, using a scale, in contrast to "Digital".
ATEX
ATEX stands for both the directives of the European Community for the field of explosion
protection: the ATEX product directive 94/9/EC and the ATEX operation directive
1999/92/EC.
Automation system
An automation system is a programmable logic controller consisting of at a central
processing unit, a variety of input and output modules as well as operator control and
monitoring (HMI) devices.
Bus
A cable or conductor system used for data transfer among the components of a computer
system. Buses are characterized by the number of bits they can transfer at any one time.
There are serial bus systems (one bit after the other) and parallel bus systems (multiple bits
simultaneously over several lines).
CSA
The Canadian Standards Association sets standards for North America. The CSA also
certifies products used in hazardous areas.
Digital
Representation of a variable, e.g. time, in the form of characters or numbers. In its digital
representation, this variable can be changed only in pre-defined steps, in contrast to
"Analog".

Div. 0
Area in which dangerous, potentially explosive gaseous atmospheres can form frequently,
constantly or over long time periods during the normal operation of a device. Div 0 (US
standard) corresponds to Zone 0 (European standard).
Div. 1
Area in which dangerous, potentially explosive gaseous atmospheres are permanently
present during the normal operation of a device. Div 1 (US standard) corresponds to Zone 0
and Zone 1 (European standard).
Div. 2
Area in which normally less dangerous, potentially explosive gaseous atmospheres form
during the normal operation of a device. Div 2 (US standard) corresponds to Zone 2
(European standard).
EEPROM
Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory
EEPROMs are often used where individual bytes of data (e.g. configuration data or runtime
meters) change over time and must be stored safely in the event of a mains power failure.
Electro Magnetic Compatibility
Definition as per the EMC law:
EMC is the capability of a device to operate satisfactorily in an electromagnetic environment
without itself emitting electromagnetic signals which interfere with other devices in that
environment.
Endian
Date is sometimes saved in a different order in certain computer architectures. Intel-based
computers, for example, save the data differently from the Siemens controllers (S7), namely,
in reverse sequence. The byte sequence from Intel, termed Little Endian, is therefore the
reverse S7 byte sequence, Big Endian. The following applies to these two forms:
● Little Endian: The most significant byte is located at the right-hand end of a word.
● Big Endian: The most significant byte is located at the left-hand end of a word.
Ethernet
This is a specific type of local network that works according to a standard defined by Intel,
DEC and Xerox.

FBD
A Function Block Diagram is a graphic representation of control functions. Each control task
(function) has a corresponding symbol.
FM, Factory Mutual
FM Global is a U.S.-based insurance company, with offices worldwide, that specializes in
loss prevention services primarily to large corporations throughout the world in the Highly
Protected Risk (HPR) property insurance market sector. "FM Global" is the communicative
name of the company, whereas the legal name is "Factory Mutual Insurance Company". The
company offers general and specialized risk management, materials research and testing
and certifications in the fire security and explosion protection fields.
Interface, multi-point
MPI is the programming interface of SIMATIC S7/M7. Allows remote access to
programmable modules, text-based displays and OPs from central locations. The MPI nodes
can intercommunicate.
LAD
Ladder Diagram -> Graphic representation of controller functions based on a circuit diagram
from protection technology. The current paths, however, are not arranged horizontally in
relation to one another and the symbols deviate.
Modbus
The Modbus protocol is a communications protocol based on a master/slave or client/server
architecture. The Modbus protocol was defined by Modicon in 1979 for communication with
its programmable controllers. Modbus is a de facto standard in industry, since it is an open
protocol.
Modbus is used to connect a master (e.g. a PC) and several slaves (e.g. measuring and
control systems). There are two versions of Modbus: one for the serial interface and one for
Ethernet.
MSB
MSB is the byte (or octet) in that position of a multi-byte number which has the greatest
potential value.

PC card
Trademark of the Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA).
Designation for auxiliary cards that conform with PCMCIA specifications. A PC card that has
roughly the size of a credit card can be plugged into a PCMCIA slot. Version 1 specifies
cards of Type I with a thickness of 3.3 millimeters, which are designed mainly for use as
external memory. Version 2 of the PCMCIA specification also defines cards of Type II with a
thickness of 5 mm and cards of Type III with a thickness of 10.5 mm. Type II cards can
realize devices such as modems, fax cards and network interface cards. Type III cards are
equipped with devices that require more space, for example wireless communication
modules, or rotary storage media such as hard disk drives, for example.
PCMCIA
Association consisting of approx. 450 member companies of the computer industry whose
focus is set on providing worldwide standards for miniaturization and flexible use of PC
expansion cards in order to provide basic technologies to the market.
PROFIBUS
Process Field Bus-> International fieldbus standard to EN 50170/IEC 61158
PROFIBUS DP
PROFIBUS-DP (distributed peripheral I/O) is used for controlling sensors and actuators
using a central controller in production engineering. It is also used in connection with
"distributed intelligence", i.e. connecting multiple controllers to form a network. It provides
data transmission up to 12 Mbps on twisted-pair cables and data transmission over sliding
contacts for mobile subscribers in exceptional cases or optical data transmission in
unobstructed space.
PROFIBUS/MPI
Process Field Bus (standard bus system for process applications)
RS 232
A recognized industrial standard for serial data transmission, and applies to cable lengths up
to 15 m. Differential evaluation is not possible with RS 232. The sending and receiving of
data take place on different lines.
RS 485
RS 485 is an interface standard for line-based, differential, serial data transmission. RS 485
uses a pair of cables in order to transmit one inverted version and one non-inverted version
of the data signal. The original data signal is reconstructed at the receiver from the difference
between these two signals. It is then possible to use significantly longer transmission links
and higher speeds than with RS 232. Furthermore, several transmitters and several
receivers can be connected to one pair of conductors.

Termination
The termination (lat. terminare for "end") used in telecommunications technology describes
the completion of a signal path. The termination results in minimization of signal reflections
which could otherwise lead to interferences. The termination is normally used at the physical
end of a signal path.
Zone 0
Area in which dangerous, potentially explosive gaseous atmospheres can form frequently,
constantly or over long time periods during the normal operation of a device.
Zone 1
Area in which a dangerous, potentially explosive gaseous atmosphere occasionally forms
during the normal operation of a device.
