Water vapor in a vessel (like a boiler drum) will condense
in piping/tubing attached to the upper tap. The condensed
water collects in the piping/impulse tubing connected to the
transmitters low side port.
The water exerts a pressure on the transmitter's low side
port. If the liquid columns stays at the same height, then
it can assumed to be a constant which can be used as part of
the level calculation.
So boilers use a 'wet leg' where the low side leg is
deliberately filled with fluid and is expected to remain at
a constant level.
A differential pressure level transmitter works by
subtracting the low side from the high side.
DP = high side - low side
In this case, the low side liquid column of water exerts a
pressure of 450 mm wc. wc = water column
When the drum is empty,
the high side measures 0 pressure, 0 mm wc.
the wet leg measures 450 mm wc.
DP = high side minus low side
DP = 0 mm - 450 mm = -450 mm wc
When the drum is full, the high side pressure will be (steam
pressure + 450 mm wc) where the 450 mm wc is the water
column in the drum.
The low side pressure will be (steam pressure + 450 mm wc)
where the 450 mm wc is the water column in the low side
impulse tubing/piping.
DP = high side minus low side
DP = (steam pressure + 450 mm wc) - (steam pressure + 450 mm
wc) = 0 mm wc
So empty = -450 mm wc, full = 0 mm wc.
The transmitter's range is -450 to 0 mm wc.

Yokogawa CENTUMVP R6.09 unable to download to Engineering Station with ExaOPC R3.75
The issue is when I try to download the common project section to the Engineering Station (STN) from the HIS in System View, it is unable to connect. The error displayed is:
WARNING: Could not connect to equalize destination. (7001)
Retrying. Number of retries = 0/1
ERROR: LdXopsLoadMain: connect error 10060

---- ERROR = 2 WARNING = 1 ----
Background:
>Updated the ExaOPC software on the STN from 3.60 to 3.75
>STN operating system is Windows Server 2008 R2
>HIS operating system is Windows Server 2016 Stanard
