Calibrating a point level switch
Contact level switches detect the presence or absence of
the medium, whether solid or liquid, by direct contact with
the medium. The switch output for most devices is an
on/off binary signal that reflects the presence or absence
of the medium. Some level switches use a 4-20mA output
that does not modulate, the current signal is either 4mA or
20mA, depending its detection state.
Most level switches offer some form of sensitivity
adjustment (depends on the technology) and some have an on-
delay or off-delay adjustment of the output relay trip,
used to avoid nuisance trips.
Calibration consists of
- testing whether the switch output changes state when the
presence or absence of the medium is changed and adjusting
the sensitivity setting for the specific medium used with
the switch.
- whether the on-delay and off-delay settings comply with
the requirements of the installed application
Depending on the technology, there might be sensitivity
adjustments or on-delay or off-delay adjustments, which are
specific to the installed application, and a calibration
would cover.
A non-contact level switch, like Siemen ultrasonic ULS200,
can be tested in place by comparing the reading with a
physical distance measurement (tape measurement) or out-of-
process by shooting against a solid target and measuring
the distance to check the trip and reset setpoints.

A PLC is programmed to drive three motors A, B and C as follows : After running motor A for an hour, motor B should get ON and motor A should get OFF. And after running motor B for an hour, motor C should get ON and motor B should get OFF. And after running motor C for an hour, motor A should get ON and motor C should get OFF. (That is, a cyclic repetition with time period one hour) Now, the second condition is: If any motor gone faulty and is tripped, the consecutive motor should get ON and the faulty (tripped) motor should be eliminated from cyclic repetition. The remaining two motors should bear the cyclic repetition of one hour each. (For healthy motor take logic as high and for tripped motor take logic as low) Now, the third condition is: When motor A load(Amps) exceeds 60% of its rated load, motor B should get ON in parallel to motor A. And when both motors A & B are running in parallel, and if their load exceeds 60% of their rated load, motor C should also start in parallel to A & B. [Here the cyclic repetition is eliminated, until their loads become normal(40%)] [Take logic high(1) for load at 60% and logic low(0) for load at 40%] Now draw a flow chart or a ladder diagram to fulfill the above condition.
