FILLING-LEVEL MEASUREMENT DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MEASURING THE FILLING LEVEL ACCORDING TO THE PROPAGATION TIME PRINCIPLE

摘要

Disclosed is a filling-level measurement device (5) for measuring the filling level of a filling material (1) in a container, and a method for measuring the filling level by means of said filling-level measurement device (5) which can measure the filling level in a reliable and directly autonomous manner when restarted, comprising at least one antenna (11) for transmitting transmission signals (S) and for receiving echo signals (E), a signal processing unit (13) which is used to derive an echo function from the echo signals (E) thus received, containing the amplitudes (A) of the echo signal according to propagation time, a memory (17) for storing container-specific data in a table whose columns are used to respectively receive an echo function, whereby the echo functions in the columns are filed in a specific order corresponding to the filling levels associated with the respective echo functions, also comprising an evaluation unit (19) which can access the table in order to determine the filling level.
