Abstract
A measuring arrangement for measuring a fill level in a bypass of a container with a measuring instrument, in particular a fill level or point level measuring instrument, wherein the bypass is connected to the container by means of at least two container connections, characterized by a monitoring device for monitoring a consistency of the container connections, which is coupled with the measuring instrument.
Claims11
A measuring arrangement for measuring a fill level in a container with a measuring instrument comprising a fill level or point level measuring instrument, wherein the measuring instrument is connected to the container by means of at least one container connection embodied as a fluid-filled channel, further comprising a monitoring device for monitoring a consistency of the at least one container connection that is coupled with the measuring instrument, such that each of the monitoring device and measuring instrument is monitoring independently, wherein an isolating device is arranged in the container connection and the measuring instrument can be disconnected from the process via the container connection with the isolating device.
A method for operating a measuring arrangement for measuring a fill level or point level in a bypass of a container with a measuring instrument, in particular a fill level or point level measuring instrument, wherein the bypass is connected to the container by means of at least two container connections embodied as fluid-filled channels and comprises a monitoring device for monitoring a consistency of the container connections that is coupled with the measuring instrument, such that each of the monitoring device and measuring instrument is monitoring independently, wherein an isolating device is arranged in the container connection and the measuring instrument can be disconnected from the process via the container connection with the isolating device, such method having the following the steps:
- Performance of a measurement,
- Checking of a status of the container connections, and
- Transmission of a measurement result and a status message to a superordinate unit.
