&lt;div&gt;== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;GENERAL INFORMATION&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ==&lt;br /&gt;
Knowing the level of product in a bunker allows you to solve problems of accounting for seeds, fertilizers, and crops. Monitoring the dynamics of level changes, taking into account the speed of movement and the cultivated area, makes it possible to control the seeding rate/fertilizer application during sowing, and the yield during combining. The bulk materials level sensor (hereinafter referred to as the sensor) is specially designed for use with a transport monitoring system - it is a modified fuel level sensor. For specialized accounting, you can use special agricultural software.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;OPERATION PRINCIPLES&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
The principle of operation of a capacitive sensor is based on recording changes in the capacity of the built-in capacitor. The high sensitivity of the capacitor allows the sensor to work with bulk solids having different levels of dielectric constant, as well as with dielectric substances. The electrode and the wall of the hopper (or 2 parallel electrodes) form a measuring system of 2 electrodes, in which the capacitance of the filled space between them is measured. The measured value then is being converted to level.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Level change control&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ====&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;It must be taken into account that at the &#039;&#039;&#039;same&#039;&#039;&#039; level, but &#039;&#039;&#039;different humidity&#039;&#039;&#039;, the sensor shows &#039;&#039;&#039;different level&#039;&#039;&#039;. For this reason, the sensor should be &#039;&#039;&#039;used to monitor level dynamics&#039;&#039;&#039; rather than to measure the actual product collected. The change in the filling level graph with changes in the humidity of the measured medium is shown in the graph below.  &amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Db2 chart examples.png|alt=Db2 chart examples|none|thumb|800x800px|Db2 chart examples]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is advisable that the combine hopper is always filled to the level where the standard alarm is triggered. With a team scheme of combine harvesters operating on the field, the bunker may not be completely filled until the grain is unloaded. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;SENSOR INSTALLATION IN THE BUNKER&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:DB2 installation.png|alt=DB2 installation|thumb|500x500px|DB2 installation]]&lt;br /&gt;
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-bPSv1mriM&amp;amp;t=1s Installation video lesson]&amp;lt;ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Select a location for installation:&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;li&amp;gt;the electrode should not come close to the unloading auger due to the possibility of clogging the auger and damaging the electrode;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;the electrode should not interfere with workers cleaning the unloading auger;&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;the electrode should not be completely covered with grain when filling the hopper, i.e. It is recommended to place the upper part of the electrode near the corner of the hopper (it should be noted that the sensor continues to record level changes even when it is completely filled with grain). Thus, the electrode does not have to be vertical to the ground - it should only go along the wall of the bunker at the same distance from it;&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Embed the sensor into the wall of the bunker close to the top edge; &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Connect the brown output of the sensor to the electrode using a screw or solder; &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Insulate the mounting location of the sensor output with the electrode with heat-shrinkable tube (pos. 10); &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Secure the resulting electrode to the insulators using ties;&amp;lt;/ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== INSTALLATION IN A PLASTIC HOPPER ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:DB-2 installation in a plastic hopper .png|alt=DB-2 installation in a plastic hopper|thumb|DB-2 installation in a plastic hopper ]]&lt;br /&gt;
When installing in a plastic hopper, it is necessary to additionally install a second electrode (the same or a metal strip) parallel to the main one at a distance of 30 - 60 mm and connect it to the black output of the sensor (also known as the common wire and the sensor body).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
== &#039;&#039;&#039;CONFIGURATION&#039;&#039;&#039; ==&lt;br /&gt;
Use the [https://www.fmeter.ru/download/_ftp/eng/datchik-urovnja-sypuchih-produktov/eskort-db-2/DB2_Configurator.zip?v=270624163916 configurator] to configure the sensor. The program window is shown below.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:DB-2 configurator interface.png|alt=DB-2 configurator interface|none|thumb|900x900px|DB-2 configurator interface]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:DB2 connecting to laptop.png|alt=DB-2 to laptop connection|thumb|DB-2 to laptop connection]]&lt;br /&gt;
ATTENTION! After turning on the sensor&#039;s power, its output is in RS-485 mode for 15 seconds. This allows you to connect a sensor that is in a mode other than RS-485 for configuration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Connect the USB-RS485 converter “Escort C-200M2” or similar to the computer, and the sensor to the converter in accordance with the diagram presented. &#039;&#039;Do not connect the red wire yet.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Note. The sensor calibration should be performed after installation. Therefore, it will be more convenient to connect the converter not directly to the sensor, but through a cable extension.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Driver for C-200M2&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;We recommend using our Escort C200M/C200M2 USB-RS-485 converter, since we can not guarantee 100% compatibility of our devices with converters from other brands. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When working with a laptop, we recommend connecting it to the power supply and/or connecting an additional USB cable to the ADD PWR connector of C200M. Otherwise, there may not be enough power to operate the sensor and transmitter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Along with installing the configurator 1.0.2.38, the drivers for the C200M will be installed automatically.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you use C200M2 on Windows 10 and 11 operating systems, drivers should be installed automatically from Windows Update, on the Windows 7 operating system and below, you may need to [https://windowsreport.com/driver-signature-enforcement-windows-10/ disable the electronic signature of drivers] and manually install [https://www.fmeter.ru/download/_ftp/eng/escort_c-200m/Escort%20driver%20C-200M2.zip?v=050623134319 drivers for the С200M2].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the driver was installed correctly, then after connecting the converter to your PC/laptop, you will see the STMicroelectronics Virtual COM Port (&#039;&#039;&#039;1&#039;&#039;&#039;)(C200M) or USB-SERIAL CH341A (&#039;&#039;&#039;2&#039;&#039;&#039;)(C200M2) device in the COM and LPT ports section of the Windows device manager &amp;quot; to enter this menu, press &#039;&#039;&#039;win+r&#039;&#039;&#039; and enter &#039;&#039;&#039;devmgmt.msc&#039;&#039;&#039; and press &#039;&#039;&#039;OK&#039;&#039;&#039; (&#039;&#039;&#039;3&#039;&#039;&#039;) and then expand the com ports submenu (&#039;&#039;&#039;4&#039;&#039;&#039;)&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The com port number displayed in this menu is also needed to connect the sensor.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Start DB-2 configuration.png|alt=Start DB-2 configuration|thumb|Start DB-2 configuration]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Connecting to the sensor in the configurator&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
# Select the appropriate port and click the “Open port” button in the “TD500 Configurator” program window. Power up the sensor by connecting the red cable.&lt;br /&gt;
# After successful opening, click &#039;&#039;&#039;Search for sensors&#039;&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Sensor calibration&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:DB-2 calibration interface.png|alt=DB-2 calibration interface|frame|DB-2 calibration interface]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
DB-2 is calibrated without bulk product. It must be mounted on the hopper before calibration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Set the minimum value when the hopper is empty by clicking the Set Current button in the Empty line&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The full value should be set to 9-10 times greater than the current empty sensor value.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus, if &#039;&#039;&#039;Current&#039;&#039;&#039; is 4741, then the &#039;&#039;&#039;Full calibration&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;value&#039;&#039;&#039; should be set to 47410. To do this, in the sensor calibration interface, in the &#039;&#039;&#039;Full&#039;&#039;&#039; line, enter 47410 and click &#039;&#039;&#039;Set&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Changing the network address&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To change the network address, click the Change network address button. In the window that opens, enter the required address (1-255) and click OK&#039;&#039;&#039;.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Network address change.png|alt=Network address change|none|thumb|Network address change]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Tank calibration&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
There is no need to calibrate the hopper with DB-2 installed in it. The measured value is very dependent on the humidity of the product. The level will be different in the morning, afternoon and evening, so the calibration data will be misleading.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;CONNECTION TO A MONITORING SYSTEM&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ==&lt;br /&gt;
The power connection must be made in the cabin. Connection diagrams are presented below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is connected to the sensor terminals in the same way as fuel level sensors - via a network address.&lt;br /&gt;
* baudrate 19 200&lt;br /&gt;
* data bits 8&lt;br /&gt;
* parity None&lt;br /&gt;
* stop bits 1&lt;br /&gt;
* handshaking None&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;POSSIBLE PROBLEMS AND THEIR SOLUTIONS&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;How to switch the sensor to analog mode&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;DB-2 in 2023 modification and newer always works in two modes - RS-485 (orange and white cables) and analog (green cable). There is no need to additionally select analog mode.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &amp;lt;big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;The level does not reach full when the hopper is full&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;If the level does not rise to full when filling the hopper, this is normal if the calibration was carried out according to the instructions. This is necessary so that the filling of the hopper is visible even when the product has high humidity. However, at high humidity the level will be significantly higher.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you want your chart to show how full the bunker is you can attach a calibration table. Take the sensor value that is observed when the bunker is full and set the corresponding value in the calibration table equal to the volume of the full bunker.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;But it is worth considering that in this case, when filling the bunker with humid product, the level may reach a maximum when the bunker is not completely filled.&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &amp;lt;big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;The sensor periodically reports error 6500&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;In this case, you should check the connection of the sensor&#039;s measuring contacts to the electrodes/hopper.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Level values ​​falls down&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;In this case, you should check the connection of the sensor&#039;s measuring contacts to the electrodes/hopper.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;The sensor periodically reports error 7000&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Perhaps the product was too wet and the measured value was higher than the Full calibration value. If the problem persists, check the integrity of the insulation on the electrodes and make sure that Full callibration value is 10 times higher than the Empty one.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;The readings are jumping up&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Perhaps the product was too wet and the measured value was higher than the Full calibration value. If the problem persists, check the integrity of the insulation on the electrodes&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;GENERAL INFORMATION&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ==&lt;br /&gt;
Knowing the level of product in a bunker allows you to solve problems of accounting for seeds, fertilizers, and crops. Monitoring the dynamics of level changes, taking into account the speed of movement and the cultivated area, makes it possible to control the seeding rate/fertilizer application during sowing, and the yield during combining. The bulk materials level sensor (hereinafter referred to as the sensor) is specially designed for use with a transport monitoring system - it is a modified fuel level sensor. For specialized accounting, you can use Agronaut software.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;OPERATION PRINCIPLES&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
The principle of operation of a capacitive sensor is based on recording changes in the capacity of the built-in capacitor. The high sensitivity of the capacitor allows the sensor to work with bulk solids having different levels of dielectric constant, as well as with dielectric substances. The electrode and the wall of the hopper (or 2 parallel electrodes) form a measuring system of 2 electrodes, in which the capacitance of the filled space between them is measured. The measured value then is being converted to level.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Level change control&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ====&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;It must be taken into account that at the &#039;&#039;&#039;same&#039;&#039;&#039; level, but &#039;&#039;&#039;different humidity&#039;&#039;&#039;, the sensor shows &#039;&#039;&#039;differnet level&#039;&#039;&#039;. For this reason, the sensor should be &#039;&#039;&#039;used to monitor level dynamics&#039;&#039;&#039; rather than to measure the actual product collected. The change in the filling level graph with changes in the humidity of the measured medium is shown in the graph below.  &amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Db2 chart examples.png|alt=Db2 chart examples|none|thumb|800x800px|Db2 chart examples]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is advisable that the combine hopper is always filled to the level where the standard alarm is triggered. With a team scheme of combine harvesters operating on the field, the bunker may not be completely filled until the grain is unloaded. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;SENSOR INSTALLATION IN THE BUNKER&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:DB2 installation.png|alt=DB2 installation|thumb|500x500px|DB2 installation]]&lt;br /&gt;
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-bPSv1mriM&amp;amp;t=1s Installation video lesson]&amp;lt;ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Select a location for installation:&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;li&amp;gt;the electrode should not come close to the unloading auger due to the possibility of clogging the auger and damaging the electrode;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;the electrode should not interfere with workers cleaning the unloading auger;&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;the electrode should not be completely covered with grain when filling the hopper, i.e. It is recommended to place the upper part of the electrode near the corner of the hopper (it should be noted that the sensor continues to record level changes even when it is completely filled with grain). Thus, the electrode does not have to be vertical to the ground - it should only go along the wall of the bunker at the same distance from it;&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Embed the sensor into the wall of the bunker close to the top edge; &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Connect the brown output of the sensor to the electrode using a screw or solder; &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Insulate the mounting location of the sensor output with the electrode with heat-shrinkable tube (pos. 10); &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Secure the resulting electrode to the insulators using ties;&amp;lt;/ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== INSTALLATION IN A PLASTIC HOPPER ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:DB-2 installation in a plastic hopper .png|alt=DB-2 installation in a plastic hopper|thumb|DB-2 installation in a plastic hopper ]]&lt;br /&gt;
When installing in a plastic hopper, it is necessary to additionally install a second electrode (the same or a metal strip) parallel to the main one at a distance of 30 - 60 mm and connect it to the black output of the sensor (also known as the common wire and the sensor body).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
== &#039;&#039;&#039;CONFIGURATION&#039;&#039;&#039; ==&lt;br /&gt;
Use the [https://www.fmeter.ru/download/_ftp/eng/datchik-urovnja-sypuchih-produktov/eskort-db-2/DB2_Configurator.zip?v=270624163916 configurator] to configure the sensor. The program window is shown below.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:DB-2 configurator interface.png|alt=DB-2 configurator interface|none|thumb|900x900px|DB-2 configurator interface]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:DB2 connecting to laptop.png|alt=DB-2 to laptop connection|thumb|DB-2 to laptop connection]]&lt;br /&gt;
ATTENTION! After turning on the sensor&#039;s power, its output is in RS-485 mode for 15 seconds. This allows you to connect a sensor that is in a mode other than RS-485 for configuration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Connect the USB-RS485 converter “Escort C-200M2” or similar to the computer, and the sensor to the converter in accordance with the diagram presented. Do not connect the red wire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Note. The sensor calibration should be performed after installation. Therefore, it will be more convenient to connect the converter not directly to the sensor, but through a cable extension.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Driver for C-200M2&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;We recommend using our Escort C200M/C200M2 USB-RS-485 converter, since we cannot guarantee 100% compatibility of our devices with converters from other brands. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When working with a laptop, we recommend connecting it to the power supply and/or connecting an additional USB cable to the ADD connector of the PWR C200M. Otherwise, there may not be enough power to operate the sensor and transmitter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Along with installing the configurator 1.0.2.38, the drivers for the C200M will be installed automatically.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you use C200M2 on Windows 10 and 11 operating systems, drivers should be installed automatically from Windows Update, on the Windows 7 operating system and below, you may need to [https://windowsreport.com/driver-signature-enforcement-windows-10/ disable the electronic signature of drivers] and manually install [https://www.fmeter.ru/download/_ftp/eng/escort_c-200m/Escort%20driver%20C-200M2.zip?v=050623134319 drivers for the С200M2].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the driver was installed correctly, then after connecting the converter to your PC/laptop, you will see the STMicroelectronics Virtual COM Port (&#039;&#039;&#039;1&#039;&#039;&#039;)(C200M) or USB-SERIAL CH341A (&#039;&#039;&#039;2&#039;&#039;&#039;)(C200M2) device in the COM and LPT ports section of the Windows device manager &amp;quot; to enter this menu, press &#039;&#039;&#039;win+r&#039;&#039;&#039; and enter &#039;&#039;&#039;devmgmt.msc&#039;&#039;&#039; and press &#039;&#039;&#039;OK&#039;&#039;&#039; (&#039;&#039;&#039;3&#039;&#039;&#039;) and then expand the com ports submenu (&#039;&#039;&#039;4&#039;&#039;&#039;)&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The com port number displayed in this menu is also needed to connect the sensor.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Start DB-2 configuration.png|alt=Start DB-2 configuration|thumb|Start DB-2 configuration]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Connecting to the sensor in the configurator&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
# Select the appropriate port and click the “Open port” button in the “TD500 Configurator” program window. Power up the sensor by connecting the red cable.&lt;br /&gt;
# After successful opening, click &#039;&#039;&#039;Search for sensors&#039;&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Sensor calibration&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:DB-2 calibration interface.png|alt=DB-2 calibration interface|frame|DB-2 calibration interface]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
DB-2 is calibrated without bulk product. It must be mounted on the hopper before calibration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Set the minimum value when the hopper is empty by clicking the Set Current button in the Empty line&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The full value should be set to 9-10 times greater than the current empty sensor value.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus, if &#039;&#039;&#039;Current&#039;&#039;&#039; is 4741, then the &#039;&#039;&#039;Full calibration&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;value&#039;&#039;&#039; should be set to 47410. To do this, in the sensor calibration interface, in the &#039;&#039;&#039;Full&#039;&#039;&#039; line, enter 47410 and click &#039;&#039;&#039;Set&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Changing the network address&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To change the network address, click the Change network address button. In the window that opens, enter the required address (1-255) and click OK&#039;&#039;&#039;.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Network address change.png|alt=Network address change|none|thumb|Network address change]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Tank calibration&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
There is no need to calibrate the hopper with DB-2 installed in it. The measured value is very dependent on the humidity of the product. The level will be different in the morning, afternoon and evening, so the calibration data will be misleading.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;CONNECTION TO A MONITORING SYSTEM&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ==&lt;br /&gt;
The power connection must be made in the cabin. Connection diagrams are presented below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is connected to the sensor terminals in the same way as fuel level sensors - via a network address.&lt;br /&gt;
* baudrate 19 200&lt;br /&gt;
* data bits 8&lt;br /&gt;
* parity None&lt;br /&gt;
* stop bits 1&lt;br /&gt;
* handshaking None&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;POSSIBLE PROBLEMS AND THEIR SOLUTIONS&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;How to switch the sensor to analog mode&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;DB-2 in modification 23 years old and newer always works in two modes - RS-485 (orange and white cables) and analog (green cable). There is no need to additionally select analog mode.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &amp;lt;big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;The level does not reach full when the hopper is full&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;If the level does not rise to full when filling the hopper, this is normal if the calibration was carried out according to the instructions. This is necessary so that the filling of the hopper is visible even when the product has high humidity. However, at high humidity the level will be significantly higher.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you want your graph to show how completely the bunker is filled, you can attach a calibration table. Take the sensor value that is observed when the bunker is full and set the corresponding value in the calibration table equal to the volume of the full bunker.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But it is worth considering that in this case, when filling the bunker with humid product, the level may reach a maximum when the bunker is not completely filled.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &amp;lt;big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;The sensor periodically reports error 6500&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;In this case, you should check the reliability of the connection of the sensor&#039;s measuring contacts to the electrodes/hopper.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Level values ​​falls down&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;In this case, you should check the reliability of the connection of the sensor&#039;s measuring contacts to the electrodes/hopper.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;The sensor periodically reports error 7000&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Perhaps the product was too wet and the measured value was higher than the Full calibration value. If the problem persists, check the integrity of the insulation on the electrodes&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;GENERAL INFORMATION&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ==&lt;br /&gt;
Knowing the level of product in a bunker allows you to solve problems of accounting for seeds, fertilizers, and crops. Monitoring the dynamics of level changes, taking into account the speed of movement and the cultivated area, makes it possible to control the seeding rate/fertilizer application during sowing, and the yield during combining. The bulk materials level sensor (hereinafter referred to as the sensor) is specially designed for use with a transport monitoring system - it is a modified fuel level sensor. For specialized accounting, you can use Agronaut software.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;OPERATION PRINCIPLES&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
The principle of operation of a capacitive sensor is based on recording changes in the capacity of the built-in capacitor. The high sensitivity of the capacitor allows the sensor to work with bulk solids having different levels of dielectric constant, as well as with dielectric substances. The electrode and the wall of the hopper (or 2 parallel electrodes) form a measuring system of 2 electrodes, in which the capacitance of the filled space between them is measured. The measured value then is being converted to level.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Level change control&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ====&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;It must be taken into account that at the &#039;&#039;&#039;same&#039;&#039;&#039; level, but &#039;&#039;&#039;different humidity&#039;&#039;&#039;, the sensor shows &#039;&#039;&#039;differnet level&#039;&#039;&#039;. For this reason, the sensor should be &#039;&#039;&#039;used to monitor level dynamics&#039;&#039;&#039; rather than to measure the actual product collected. The change in the filling level graph with changes in the humidity of the measured medium is shown in the graph below.  &amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Db2 chart examples.png|alt=Db2 chart examples|none|thumb|800x800px|Db2 chart examples]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is advisable that the combine hopper is always filled to the level where the standard alarm is triggered. With a team scheme of combine harvesters operating on the field, the bunker may not be completely filled until the grain is unloaded. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;SENSOR INSTALLATION IN THE BUNKER&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:DB2 installation.png|alt=DB2 installation|thumb|500x500px|DB2 installation]]&lt;br /&gt;
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-bPSv1mriM&amp;amp;t=1s Installation video lesson]&amp;lt;ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Select a location for installation:&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;li&amp;gt;the electrode should not come close to the unloading auger due to the possibility of clogging the auger and damaging the electrode;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;the electrode should not interfere with workers cleaning the unloading auger;&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;the electrode should not be completely covered with grain when filling the hopper, i.e. It is recommended to place the upper part of the electrode near the corner of the hopper (it should be noted that the sensor continues to record level changes even when it is completely filled with grain). Thus, the electrode does not have to be vertical to the ground - it should only go along the wall of the bunker at the same distance from it;&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Embed the sensor into the wall of the bunker close to the top edge; &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Connect the brown output of the sensor to the electrode using a screw or solder; &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Insulate the mounting location of the sensor output with the electrode with heat-shrinkable tube (pos. 10); &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Secure the resulting electrode to the insulators using ties;&amp;lt;/ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== INSTALLATION IN A PLASTIC HOPPER ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:DB-2 installation in a plastic hopper .png|alt=DB-2 installation in a plastic hopper|thumb|DB-2 installation in a plastic hopper ]]&lt;br /&gt;
When installing in a plastic hopper, it is necessary to additionally install a second electrode (the same or a metal strip) parallel to the main one at a distance of 30 - 60 mm and connect it to the black output of the sensor (also known as the common wire and the sensor body).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
== &#039;&#039;&#039;CONFIGURATION&#039;&#039;&#039; ==&lt;br /&gt;
Use the [https://www.fmeter.ru/download/_ftp/eng/datchik-urovnja-sypuchih-produktov/eskort-db-2/DB2_Configurator.zip?v=270624163916 configurator] to configure the sensor. The program window is shown below.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:DB-2 configurator interface.png|alt=DB-2 configurator interface|none|thumb|900x900px|DB-2 configurator interface]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:DB2 connecting to laptop.png|alt=DB-2 to laptop connection|thumb|DB-2 to laptop connection]]&lt;br /&gt;
ATTENTION! After turning on the sensor&#039;s power, its output is in RS-485 mode for 15 seconds. This allows you to connect a sensor that is in a mode other than RS-485 for configuration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Connect the USB-RS485 converter “Escort C-200M2” or similar to the computer, and the sensor to the converter in accordance with the diagram presented. Do not connect the red wire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Note. The sensor calibration should be performed after installation. Therefore, it will be more convenient to connect the converter not directly to the sensor, but through a cable extension.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Driver for C-200M2&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;We recommend using our Escort C200M/C200M2 USB-RS-485 converter, since we cannot guarantee 100% compatibility of our devices with converters from other brands. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When working with a laptop, we recommend connecting it to the power supply and/or connecting an additional USB cable to the ADD connector of the PWR C200M. Otherwise, there may not be enough power to operate the sensor and transmitter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Along with installing the configurator 1.0.2.38, the drivers for the C200M will be installed automatically.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you use C200M2 on Windows 10 and 11 operating systems, drivers should be installed automatically from Windows Update, on the Windows 7 operating system and below, you may need to [https://windowsreport.com/driver-signature-enforcement-windows-10/ disable the electronic signature of drivers] and manually install [https://www.fmeter.ru/download/_ftp/eng/escort_c-200m/Escort%20driver%20C-200M2.zip?v=050623134319 drivers for the С200M2].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the driver was installed correctly, then after connecting the converter to your PC/laptop, you will see the STMicroelectronics Virtual COM Port (&#039;&#039;&#039;1&#039;&#039;&#039;)(C200M) or USB-SERIAL CH341A (&#039;&#039;&#039;2&#039;&#039;&#039;)(C200M2) device in the COM and LPT ports section of the Windows device manager &amp;quot; to enter this menu, press &#039;&#039;&#039;win+r&#039;&#039;&#039; and enter &#039;&#039;&#039;devmgmt.msc&#039;&#039;&#039; and press &#039;&#039;&#039;OK&#039;&#039;&#039; (&#039;&#039;&#039;3&#039;&#039;&#039;) and then expand the com ports submenu (&#039;&#039;&#039;4&#039;&#039;&#039;)&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The com port number displayed in this menu is also needed to connect the sensor.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Start DB-2 configuration.png|alt=Start DB-2 configuration|thumb|Start DB-2 configuration]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Connecting to the sensor in the configurator&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
# Select the appropriate port and click the “Open port” button in the “TD500 Configurator” program window. Power up the sensor by connecting the red cable.&lt;br /&gt;
# After successful opening, click &#039;&#039;&#039;Search for sensors&#039;&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;[[Файл:Db2 configurator calibration interface.png|мини|517x517пкс|Интерфейс калибровки датчика]]&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Sensor calibration&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Файл:Db2_current_readings.png|справа|безрамки|500x500пкс]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
DB-2 is calibrated without bulk product. It must be mounted on the hopper before calibration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Set the minimum value when the hopper is empty by clicking the Set Current button in the Empty line&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The full value should be set to 9-10 times greater than the current empty sensor value.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus, if &#039;&#039;&#039;Current&#039;&#039;&#039; is 4741, then the &#039;&#039;&#039;Full calibration&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;value&#039;&#039;&#039; should be set to 47410. To do this, in the sensor calibration interface, in the &#039;&#039;&#039;Full&#039;&#039;&#039; line, enter 47410 and click &#039;&#039;&#039;Set&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Changing the network address&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To change the network address, click the Change network address button. In the window that opens, enter the required address (1-255) and click OK&#039;&#039;&#039;.&#039;&#039;&#039;[[Файл:DB2 network address.png|мини|Изменение сетевого адреса в датчике ДБ-2|без|402x402пкс]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Tank calibration&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
There is no need to calibrate the hopper with DB-2 installed in it. The measured value is very dependent on the humidity of the product. The level will be different in the morning, afternoon and evening, so the calibration data will be misleading.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;CONNECTION TO A MONITORING SYSTEM&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ==&lt;br /&gt;
The power connection must be made in the cabin. Connection diagrams are presented below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is connected to the sensor terminals in the same way as fuel level sensors - via a network address.&lt;br /&gt;

=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;How to switch the sensor to analog mode&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;DB-2 in modification 23 years old and newer always works in two modes - RS-485 (orange and white cables) and analog (green cable). There is no need to additionally select analog mode.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &amp;lt;big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;The level does not reach full when the hopper is full&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;If the level does not rise to full when filling the hopper, this is normal if the calibration was carried out according to the instructions. This is necessary so that the filling of the hopper is visible even when the product has high humidity. However, at high humidity the level will be significantly higher.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you want your graph to show how completely the bunker is filled, you can attach a calibration table. Take the sensor value that is observed when the bunker is full and set the corresponding value in the calibration table equal to the volume of the full bunker.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But it is worth considering that in this case, when filling the bunker with humid product, the level may reach a maximum when the bunker is not completely filled.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &amp;lt;big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;The sensor periodically reports error 6500&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;In this case, you should check the reliability of the connection of the sensor&#039;s measuring contacts to the electrodes/hopper.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Level values ​​falls down&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;In this case, you should check the reliability of the connection of the sensor&#039;s measuring contacts to the electrodes/hopper.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;The sensor periodically reports error 7000&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Perhaps the product was too wet and the measured value was higher than the Full calibration value. If the problem persists, check the integrity of the insulation on the electrodes&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;The readings are jumping up&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Perhaps the product was too wet and the measured value was higher than the Full calibration value. If the problem persists, check the integrity of the insulation on the electrodes&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;GENERAL INFORMATION&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ==&lt;br /&gt;
Knowing the level of product in a bunker allows you to solve problems of accounting for seeds, fertilizers, and crops. Monitoring the dynamics of level changes, taking into account the speed of movement and the cultivated area, makes it possible to control the seeding rate/fertilizer application during sowing, and the yield during combining. The bulk materials level sensor (hereinafter referred to as the sensor) is specially designed for use with a transport monitoring system - it is a modified fuel level sensor. For specialized accounting, you can use Agronaut software.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;OPERATION PRINCIPLES&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
The principle of operation of a capacitive sensor is based on recording changes in the capacity of the built-in capacitor. The high sensitivity of the capacitor allows the sensor to work with bulk solids having different levels of dielectric constant, as well as with dielectric substances. The electrode and the wall of the hopper (or 2 parallel electrodes) form a measuring system of 2 electrodes, in which the capacitance of the filled space between them is measured. The measured value then is being converted to level.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Level change control&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ====&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;It must be taken into account that at the &#039;&#039;&#039;same&#039;&#039;&#039; level, but &#039;&#039;&#039;different humidity&#039;&#039;&#039;, the sensor shows &#039;&#039;&#039;differnet level&#039;&#039;&#039;. For this reason, the sensor should be &#039;&#039;&#039;used to monitor level dynamics&#039;&#039;&#039; rather than to measure the actual product collected. The change in the filling level graph with changes in the humidity of the measured medium is shown in the graph below.  &amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Db2 chart examples.png|alt=Db2 chart examples|none|thumb|800x800px|Db2 chart examples]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is advisable that the combine hopper is always filled to the level where the standard alarm is triggered. With a team scheme of combine harvesters operating on the field, the bunker may not be completely filled until the grain is unloaded. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;SENSOR INSTALLATION IN THE BUNKER&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:DB2 installation.png|alt=DB2 installation|thumb|500x500px|DB2 installation]]&lt;br /&gt;
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-bPSv1mriM&amp;amp;t=1s Installation video lesson]&amp;lt;ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Select a location for installation:&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;li&amp;gt;the electrode should not come close to the unloading auger due to the possibility of clogging the auger and damaging the electrode;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;the electrode should not interfere with workers cleaning the unloading auger;&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;the electrode should not be completely covered with grain when filling the hopper, i.e. It is recommended to place the upper part of the electrode near the corner of the hopper (it should be noted that the sensor continues to record level changes even when it is completely filled with grain). Thus, the electrode does not have to be vertical to the ground - it should only go along the wall of the bunker at the same distance from it;&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Embed the sensor into the wall of the bunker close to the top edge; &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Connect the brown output of the sensor to the electrode using a screw or solder; &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Insulate the mounting location of the sensor output with the electrode with heat-shrinkable tube (pos. 10); &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Secure the resulting electrode to the insulators using ties;&amp;lt;/ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== INSTALLATION IN A PLASTIC HOPPER ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:DB-2 installation in a plastic hopper .png|alt=DB-2 installation in a plastic hopper|thumb|DB-2 installation in a plastic hopper ]]&lt;br /&gt;
When installing in a plastic hopper, it is necessary to additionally install a second electrode (the same or a metal strip) parallel to the main one at a distance of 30 - 60 mm and connect it to the black output of the sensor (also known as the common wire and the sensor body).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
== &#039;&#039;&#039;CONFIGURATION&#039;&#039;&#039; ==&lt;br /&gt;
Use the [https://www.fmeter.ru/download/_ftp/eng/datchik-urovnja-sypuchih-produktov/eskort-db-2/DB2_Configurator.zip?v=270624163916 configurator] to configure the sensor. The program window is shown below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Файл:Db_configurator_overall_view.png|безрамки|500x500пкс]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Файл:DB2 connecting to laptop2.png|мини|Подключение ДБ-2 к компьютеру для настройки]]ATTENTION! After turning on the sensor&#039;s power, its output is in RS-485 mode for 15 seconds. This allows you to connect a sensor that is in a mode other than RS-485 for configuration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Connect the USB-RS485 converter “Escort C-200M2” or similar to the computer, and the sensor to the converter in accordance with the diagram presented. Do not connect the red wire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Note. The sensor calibration should be performed after installation. Therefore, it will be more convenient to connect the converter not directly to the sensor, but through a cable extension.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Driver for C-200M2&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;We recommend using our Escort C200M/C200M2 USB-RS-485 converter, since we cannot guarantee 100% compatibility of our devices with converters from other brands. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When working with a laptop, we recommend connecting it to the power supply and/or connecting an additional USB cable to the ADD connector of the PWR C200M. Otherwise, there may not be enough power to operate the sensor and transmitter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Along with installing the configurator 1.0.2.38, the drivers for the C200M will be installed automatically.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you use C200M2 on Windows 10 and 11 operating systems, drivers should be installed automatically from Windows Update, on the Windows 7 operating system and below, you may need to [https://windowsreport.com/driver-signature-enforcement-windows-10/ disable the electronic signature of drivers] and manually install [https://www.fmeter.ru/download/_ftp/eng/escort_c-200m/Escort%20driver%20C-200M2.zip?v=050623134319 drivers for the С200M2].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the driver was installed correctly, then after connecting the converter to your PC/laptop, you will see the STMicroelectronics Virtual COM Port (&#039;&#039;&#039;1&#039;&#039;&#039;)(C200M) or USB-SERIAL CH341A (&#039;&#039;&#039;2&#039;&#039;&#039;)(C200M2) device in the COM and LPT ports section of the Windows device manager &amp;quot; to enter this menu, press &#039;&#039;&#039;win+r&#039;&#039;&#039; and enter &#039;&#039;&#039;devmgmt.msc&#039;&#039;&#039; and press &#039;&#039;&#039;OK&#039;&#039;&#039; (&#039;&#039;&#039;3&#039;&#039;&#039;) and then expand the com ports submenu (&#039;&#039;&#039;4&#039;&#039;&#039;)&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The com port number displayed in this menu is also needed to connect the sensor.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;[[Файл:Db2 configurator connection.png|мини|400x400пкс|Выберете порт и нажмите кнопку Открыть порт]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Connecting to the sensor in the configurator&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
# Select the appropriate port and click the “Open port” button in the “TD500 Configurator” program window. Power up the sensor by connecting the red cable.&lt;br /&gt;
# After successful opening, click &#039;&#039;&#039;Search for sensors&#039;&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;[[Файл:Db2 configurator calibration interface.png|мини|517x517пкс|Интерфейс калибровки датчика]]&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Sensor calibration&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Файл:Db2_current_readings.png|справа|безрамки|500x500пкс]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
DB-2 is calibrated without bulk product. It must be mounted on the hopper before calibration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Set the minimum value when the hopper is empty by clicking the Set Current button in the Empty line&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The full value should be set to 9-10 times greater than the current empty sensor value.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus, if &#039;&#039;&#039;Current&#039;&#039;&#039; is 4741, then the &#039;&#039;&#039;Full calibration&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;value&#039;&#039;&#039; should be set to 47410. To do this, in the sensor calibration interface, in the &#039;&#039;&#039;Full&#039;&#039;&#039; line, enter 47410 and click &#039;&#039;&#039;Set&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
To change the network address, click the Change network address button. In the window that opens, enter the required address (1-255) and click OK&#039;&#039;&#039;.&#039;&#039;&#039;[[Файл:DB2 network address.png|мини|Изменение сетевого адреса в датчике ДБ-2|без|402x402пкс]]&lt;br /&gt;

=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Tank calibration&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
There is no need to calibrate the hopper with DB-2 installed in it. The measured value is very dependent on the humidity of the product. The level will be different in the morning, afternoon and evening, so the calibration data will be misleading.&lt;br /&gt;

== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;POSSIBLE PROBLEMS AND THEIR SOLUTIONS&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;How to switch the sensor to analog mode&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;DB-2 in modification 23 years old and newer always works in two modes - RS-485 (orange and white cables) and analog (green cable). There is no need to additionally select analog mode.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &amp;lt;big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;The level does not reach full when the hopper is full&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;If the level does not rise to full when filling the hopper, this is normal if the calibration was carried out according to the instructions. This is necessary so that the filling of the hopper is visible even when the product has high humidity. However, at high humidity the level will be significantly higher.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you want your graph to show how completely the bunker is filled, you can attach a calibration table. Take the sensor value that is observed when the bunker is full and set the corresponding value in the calibration table equal to the volume of the full bunker.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But it is worth considering that in this case, when filling the bunker with humid product, the level may reach a maximum when the bunker is not completely filled.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &amp;lt;big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;The sensor periodically reports error 6500&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;In this case, you should check the reliability of the connection of the sensor&#039;s measuring contacts to the electrodes/hopper.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Level values ​​falls down&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;In this case, you should check the reliability of the connection of the sensor&#039;s measuring contacts to the electrodes/hopper.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;The sensor periodically reports error 7000&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Perhaps the product was too wet and the measured value was higher than the Full calibration value. If the problem persists, check the integrity of the insulation on the electrodes&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;The readings are jumping up&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Perhaps the product was too wet and the measured value was higher than the Full calibration value. If the problem persists, check the integrity of the insulation on the electrodes&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;GENERAL INFORMATION&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ==&lt;br /&gt;
Knowing the level of product in a bunker allows you to solve problems of accounting for seeds, fertilizers, and crops. Monitoring the dynamics of level changes, taking into account the speed of movement and the cultivated area, makes it possible to control the seeding rate/fertilizer application during sowing, and the yield during combining. The bulk materials level sensor (hereinafter referred to as the sensor) is specially designed for use with a transport monitoring system - it is a modified fuel level sensor. For specialized accounting, you can use Agronaut software.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;OPERATION PRINCIPLES&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
The principle of operation of a capacitive sensor is based on recording changes in the capacity of the built-in capacitor. The high sensitivity of the capacitor allows the sensor to work with bulk solids having different levels of dielectric constant, as well as with dielectric substances. The electrode and the wall of the hopper (or 2 parallel electrodes) form a measuring system of 2 electrodes, in which the capacitance of the filled space between them is measured. The measured value then is being converted to level.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Level change control&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ====&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;It must be taken into account that at the &#039;&#039;&#039;same&#039;&#039;&#039; level, but &#039;&#039;&#039;different humidity&#039;&#039;&#039;, the sensor shows &#039;&#039;&#039;differnet level&#039;&#039;&#039;. For this reason, the sensor should be &#039;&#039;&#039;used to monitor level dynamics&#039;&#039;&#039; rather than to measure the actual product collected. The change in the filling level graph with changes in the humidity of the measured medium is shown in the graph below.  &amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Db2 chart examples.png|alt=Db2 chart examples|none|thumb|800x800px|Db2 chart examples]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is advisable that the combine hopper is always filled to the level where the standard alarm is triggered. With a team scheme of combine harvesters operating on the field, the bunker may not be completely filled until the grain is unloaded. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;SENSOR INSTALLATION IN THE BUNKER&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Файл:DB2 installation.png|мини|500x500пкс|Схема монтажа датчика]][https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-bPSv1mriM&amp;amp;t=1s Ссылка на видео-инструкцию по монтажу датчика]&amp;lt;ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Select a location for installation:&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;li&amp;gt;the electrode should not come close to the unloading auger due to the possibility of clogging the auger and damaging the electrode;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;the electrode should not interfere with workers cleaning the unloading auger;&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;the electrode should not be completely covered with grain when filling the hopper, i.e. It is recommended to place the upper part of the electrode near the corner of the hopper (it should be noted that the sensor continues to record level changes even when it is completely filled with grain). Thus, the electrode does not have to be vertical to the ground - it should only go along the wall of the bunker at the same distance from it;&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Embed the sensor into the wall of the bunker close to the top edge; &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Connect the brown output of the sensor to the electrode using a screw or solder; &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Insulate the mounting location of the sensor output with the electrode with heat-shrinkable tube (pos. 10); &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Secure the resulting electrode to the insulators using ties;&amp;lt;/ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== INSTALLATION IN A PLASTIC HOPPER ===&lt;br /&gt;
When installing in a plastic hopper, it is necessary to additionally install a second electrode (the same or a metal strip) parallel to the main one at a distance of 30 - 60 mm and connect it to the black output of the sensor (also known as the common wire and the sensor body).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
== &#039;&#039;&#039;CONFIGURATION&#039;&#039;&#039; ==&lt;br /&gt;
Use the [https://www.fmeter.ru/download/_ftp/eng/datchik-urovnja-sypuchih-produktov/eskort-db-2/DB2_Configurator.zip?v=270624163916 configurator] to configure the sensor. The program window is shown below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Файл:Db_configurator_overall_view.png|безрамки|500x500пкс]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Файл:DB2 connecting to laptop2.png|мини|Подключение ДБ-2 к компьютеру для настройки]]ATTENTION! After turning on the sensor&#039;s power, its output is in RS-485 mode for 15 seconds. This allows you to connect a sensor that is in a mode other than RS-485 for configuration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Connect the USB-RS485 converter “Escort C-200M2” or similar to the computer, and the sensor to the converter in accordance with the diagram presented. Do not connect the red wire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Note. The sensor calibration should be performed after installation. Therefore, it will be more convenient to connect the converter not directly to the sensor, but through a cable extension.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Driver for C-200M2&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;We recommend using our Escort C200M/C200M2 USB-RS-485 converter, since we cannot guarantee 100% compatibility of our devices with converters from other brands. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When working with a laptop, we recommend connecting it to the power supply and/or connecting an additional USB cable to the ADD connector of the PWR C200M. Otherwise, there may not be enough power to operate the sensor and transmitter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Along with installing the configurator 1.0.2.38, the drivers for the C200M will be installed automatically.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you use C200M2 on Windows 10 and 11 operating systems, drivers should be installed automatically from Windows Update, on the Windows 7 operating system and below, you may need to [https://windowsreport.com/driver-signature-enforcement-windows-10/ disable the electronic signature of drivers] and manually install [https://www.fmeter.ru/download/_ftp/eng/escort_c-200m/Escort%20driver%20C-200M2.zip?v=050623134319 drivers for the С200M2].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the driver was installed correctly, then after connecting the converter to your PC/laptop, you will see the STMicroelectronics Virtual COM Port (&#039;&#039;&#039;1&#039;&#039;&#039;)(C200M) or USB-SERIAL CH341A (&#039;&#039;&#039;2&#039;&#039;&#039;)(C200M2) device in the COM and LPT ports section of the Windows device manager &amp;quot; to enter this menu, press &#039;&#039;&#039;win+r&#039;&#039;&#039; and enter &#039;&#039;&#039;devmgmt.msc&#039;&#039;&#039; and press &#039;&#039;&#039;OK&#039;&#039;&#039; (&#039;&#039;&#039;3&#039;&#039;&#039;) and then expand the com ports submenu (&#039;&#039;&#039;4&#039;&#039;&#039;)&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The com port number displayed in this menu is also needed to connect the sensor.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;[[Файл:Db2 configurator connection.png|мини|400x400пкс|Выберете порт и нажмите кнопку Открыть порт]]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Sensor calibration&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Файл:Db2_current_readings.png|справа|безрамки|500x500пкс]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
DB-2 is calibrated without bulk product. It must be mounted on the hopper before calibration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Set the minimum value when the hopper is empty by clicking the Set Current button in the Empty line&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The full value should be set to 9-10 times greater than the current empty sensor value.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus, if &#039;&#039;&#039;Current&#039;&#039;&#039; is 4741, then the &#039;&#039;&#039;Full calibration&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;value&#039;&#039;&#039; should be set to 47410. To do this, in the sensor calibration interface, in the &#039;&#039;&#039;Full&#039;&#039;&#039; line, enter 47410 and click &#039;&#039;&#039;Set&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Changing the network address&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To change the network address, click the Change network address button. In the window that opens, enter the required address (1-255) and click OK&#039;&#039;&#039;.&#039;&#039;&#039;[[Файл:DB2 network address.png|мини|Изменение сетевого адреса в датчике ДБ-2|без|402x402пкс]]&lt;br /&gt;

=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Tank calibration&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
There is no need to calibrate the hopper with DB-2 installed in it. The measured value is very dependent on the humidity of the product. The level will be different in the morning, afternoon and evening, so the calibration data will be misleading.&lt;br /&gt;

== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;CONNECTION TO A MONITORING SYSTEM&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ==&lt;br /&gt;
The power connection must be made in the cabin. Connection diagrams are presented below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is connected to the sensor terminals in the same way as fuel level sensors - via a network address.&lt;br /&gt;

== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;POSSIBLE PROBLEMS AND THEIR SOLUTIONS&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;How to switch the sensor to analog mode&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;DB-2 in modification 23 years old and newer always works in two modes - RS-485 (orange and white cables) and analog (green cable). There is no need to additionally select analog mode.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &amp;lt;big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;The level does not reach full when the hopper is full&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;If the level does not rise to full when filling the hopper, this is normal if the calibration was carried out according to the instructions. This is necessary so that the filling of the hopper is visible even when the product has high humidity. However, at high humidity the level will be significantly higher.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you want your graph to show how completely the bunker is filled, you can attach a calibration table. Take the sensor value that is observed when the bunker is full and set the corresponding value in the calibration table equal to the volume of the full bunker.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But it is worth considering that in this case, when filling the bunker with humid product, the level may reach a maximum when the bunker is not completely filled.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &amp;lt;big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;The sensor periodically reports error 6500&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;In this case, you should check the reliability of the connection of the sensor&#039;s measuring contacts to the electrodes/hopper.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Level values ​​falls down&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;In this case, you should check the reliability of the connection of the sensor&#039;s measuring contacts to the electrodes/hopper.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;The sensor periodically reports error 7000&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Perhaps the product was too wet and the measured value was higher than the Full calibration value. If the problem persists, check the integrity of the insulation on the electrodes&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;The readings are jumping up&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Perhaps the product was too wet and the measured value was higher than the Full calibration value. If the problem persists, check the integrity of the insulation on the electrodes&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;GENERAL INFORMATION&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ==&lt;br /&gt;
Knowing the level of product in a bunker allows you to solve problems of accounting for seeds, fertilizers, and crops. Monitoring the dynamics of level changes, taking into account the speed of movement and the cultivated area, makes it possible to control the seeding rate/fertilizer application during sowing, and the yield during combining. The bulk materials level sensor (hereinafter referred to as the sensor) is specially designed for use with a transport monitoring system - it is a modified fuel level sensor. For specialized accounting, you can use Agronaut software.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;OPERATION PRINCIPLES&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
The principle of operation of a capacitive sensor is based on recording changes in the capacity of the built-in capacitor. The high sensitivity of the capacitor allows the sensor to work with bulk solids having different levels of dielectric constant, as well as with dielectric substances. The electrode and the wall of the hopper (or 2 parallel electrodes) form a measuring system of 2 electrodes, in which the capacitance of the filled space between them is measured. The measured value then is being converted to level.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Level change control&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ====&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;It must be taken into account that at the &#039;&#039;&#039;same&#039;&#039;&#039; level, but &#039;&#039;&#039;different humidity&#039;&#039;&#039;, the sensor shows &#039;&#039;&#039;differnet level&#039;&#039;&#039;. For this reason, the sensor should be &#039;&#039;&#039;used to monitor level dynamics&#039;&#039;&#039; rather than to measure the actual product collected. The change in the filling level graph with changes in the humidity of the measured medium is shown in the graph below.  &amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;[[Файл:Db2 chart examples.png|мини|График измерения показаний ДБ-2 при разной влажности|без|700x700пкс]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The chart is taken from AVTOGRAPH monitoring platform&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is advisable that the combine hopper is always filled to the level where the standard alarm is triggered. With a team scheme of combine harvesters operating on the field, the bunker may not be completely filled until the grain is unloaded. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;SENSOR INSTALLATION IN THE BUNKER&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Файл:DB2 installation.png|мини|500x500пкс|Схема монтажа датчика]][https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-bPSv1mriM&amp;amp;t=1s Ссылка на видео-инструкцию по монтажу датчика]&amp;lt;ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Select a location for installation:&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;li&amp;gt;the electrode should not come close to the unloading auger due to the possibility of clogging the auger and damaging the electrode;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;the electrode should not interfere with workers cleaning the unloading auger;&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;the electrode should not be completely covered with grain when filling the hopper, i.e. It is recommended to place the upper part of the electrode near the corner of the hopper (it should be noted that the sensor continues to record level changes even when it is completely filled with grain). Thus, the electrode does not have to be vertical to the ground - it should only go along the wall of the bunker at the same distance from it;&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Embed the sensor into the wall of the bunker close to the top edge; &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Connect the brown output of the sensor to the electrode using a screw or solder; &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Insulate the mounting location of the sensor output with the electrode with heat-shrinkable tube (pos. 10); &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Secure the resulting electrode to the insulators using ties;&amp;lt;/ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[Файл:DB2 installation plastic.png|мини|Монтаж датчика в неметаллический бункер]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== INSTALLATION IN A PLASTIC HOPPER ===&lt;br /&gt;
When installing in a plastic hopper, it is necessary to additionally install a second electrode (the same or a metal strip) parallel to the main one at a distance of 30 - 60 mm and connect it to the black output of the sensor (also known as the common wire and the sensor body).&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
== &#039;&#039;&#039;CONFIGURATION&#039;&#039;&#039; ==&lt;br /&gt;
Use the [https://www.fmeter.ru/download/_ftp/eng/datchik-urovnja-sypuchih-produktov/eskort-db-2/DB2_Configurator.zip?v=270624163916 configurator] to configure the sensor. The program window is shown below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Файл:Db_configurator_overall_view.png|безрамки|500x500пкс]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Файл:DB2 connecting to laptop2.png|мини|Подключение ДБ-2 к компьютеру для настройки]]ATTENTION! After turning on the sensor&#039;s power, its output is in RS-485 mode for 15 seconds. This allows you to connect a sensor that is in a mode other than RS-485 for configuration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Connect the USB-RS485 converter “Escort C-200M2” or similar to the computer, and the sensor to the converter in accordance with the diagram presented. Do not connect the red wire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Note. The sensor calibration should be performed after installation. Therefore, it will be more convenient to connect the converter not directly to the sensor, but through a cable extension.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Driver for C-200M2&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;We recommend using our Escort C200M/C200M2 USB-RS-485 converter, since we cannot guarantee 100% compatibility of our devices with converters from other brands. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When working with a laptop, we recommend connecting it to the power supply and/or connecting an additional USB cable to the ADD connector of the PWR C200M. Otherwise, there may not be enough power to operate the sensor and transmitter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Along with installing the configurator 1.0.2.38, the drivers for the C200M will be installed automatically.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you use C200M2 on Windows 10 and 11 operating systems, drivers should be installed automatically from Windows Update, on the Windows 7 operating system and below, you may need to [https://windowsreport.com/driver-signature-enforcement-windows-10/ disable the electronic signature of drivers] and manually install [https://www.fmeter.ru/download/_ftp/eng/escort_c-200m/Escort%20driver%20C-200M2.zip?v=050623134319 drivers for the С200M2].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the driver was installed correctly, then after connecting the converter to your PC/laptop, you will see the STMicroelectronics Virtual COM Port (&#039;&#039;&#039;1&#039;&#039;&#039;)(C200M) or USB-SERIAL CH341A (&#039;&#039;&#039;2&#039;&#039;&#039;)(C200M2) device in the COM and LPT ports section of the Windows device manager &amp;quot; to enter this menu, press &#039;&#039;&#039;win+r&#039;&#039;&#039; and enter &#039;&#039;&#039;devmgmt.msc&#039;&#039;&#039; and press &#039;&#039;&#039;OK&#039;&#039;&#039; (&#039;&#039;&#039;3&#039;&#039;&#039;) and then expand the com ports submenu (&#039;&#039;&#039;4&#039;&#039;&#039;)&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The com port number displayed in this menu is also needed to connect the sensor.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;[[Файл:Db2 configurator connection.png|мини|400x400пкс|Выберете порт и нажмите кнопку Открыть порт]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Connecting to the sensor in the configurator&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
# Select the appropriate port and click the “Open port” button in the “TD500 Configurator” program window. Power up the sensor by connecting the red cable.&lt;br /&gt;
# After successful opening, click &#039;&#039;&#039;Search for sensors&#039;&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;[[Файл:Db2 configurator calibration interface.png|мини|517x517пкс|Интерфейс калибровки датчика]]&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Sensor calibration&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Файл:Db2_current_readings.png|справа|безрамки|500x500пкс]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
DB-2 is calibrated without bulk product. It must be mounted on the hopper before calibration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Set the minimum value when the hopper is empty by clicking the Set Current button in the Empty line&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The full value should be set to 9-10 times greater than the current empty sensor value.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus, if &#039;&#039;&#039;Current&#039;&#039;&#039; is 4741, then the &#039;&#039;&#039;Full calibration&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;value&#039;&#039;&#039; should be set to 47410. To do this, in the sensor calibration interface, in the &#039;&#039;&#039;Full&#039;&#039;&#039; line, enter 47410 and click &#039;&#039;&#039;Set&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Changing the network address&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To change the network address, click the Change network address button. In the window that opens, enter the required address (1-255) and click OK&#039;&#039;&#039;.&#039;&#039;&#039;[[Файл:DB2 network address.png|мини|Изменение сетевого адреса в датчике ДБ-2|без|402x402пкс]]&lt;br /&gt;

=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Tank calibration&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
There is no need to calibrate the hopper with DB-2 installed in it. The measured value is very dependent on the humidity of the product. The level will be different in the morning, afternoon and evening, so the calibration data will be misleading.&lt;br /&gt;

It is connected to the sensor terminals in the same way as fuel level sensors - via a network address.&lt;br /&gt;

== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;POSSIBLE PROBLEMS AND THEIR SOLUTIONS&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;How to switch the sensor to analog mode&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;DB-2 in modification 23 years old and newer always works in two modes - RS-485 (orange and white cables) and analog (green cable). There is no need to additionally select analog mode.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &amp;lt;big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;The level does not reach full when the hopper is full&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;If the level does not rise to full when filling the hopper, this is normal if the calibration was carried out according to the instructions. This is necessary so that the filling of the hopper is visible even when the product has high humidity. However, at high humidity the level will be significantly higher.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you want your graph to show how completely the bunker is filled, you can attach a calibration table. Take the sensor value that is observed when the bunker is full and set the corresponding value in the calibration table equal to the volume of the full bunker.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But it is worth considering that in this case, when filling the bunker with humid product, the level may reach a maximum when the bunker is not completely filled.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &amp;lt;big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;The sensor periodically reports error 6500&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;In this case, you should check the reliability of the connection of the sensor&#039;s measuring contacts to the electrodes/hopper.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Level values ​​falls down&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;In this case, you should check the reliability of the connection of the sensor&#039;s measuring contacts to the electrodes/hopper.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;The sensor periodically reports error 7000&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Perhaps the product was too wet and the measured value was higher than the Full calibration value. If the problem persists, check the integrity of the insulation on the electrodes&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;The readings are jumping up&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Perhaps the product was too wet and the measured value was higher than the Full calibration value. If the problem persists, check the integrity of the insulation on the electrodes&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;GENERAL INFORMATION&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ==&lt;br /&gt;
Knowing the level of product in a bunker allows you to solve problems of accounting for seeds, fertilizers, and crops. Monitoring the dynamics of level changes, taking into account the speed of movement and the cultivated area, makes it possible to control the seeding rate/fertilizer application during sowing, and the yield during combining. The bulk materials level sensor (hereinafter referred to as the sensor) is specially designed for use with a transport monitoring system - it is a modified fuel level sensor. For specialized accounting, you can use Agronaut software.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;OPERATION PRINCIPLES&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
The principle of operation of a capacitive sensor is based on recording changes in the capacity of the built-in capacitor. The high sensitivity of the capacitor allows the sensor to work with bulk solids having different levels of dielectric constant, as well as with dielectric substances. The electrode and the wall of the hopper (or 2 parallel electrodes) form a measuring system of 2 electrodes, in which the capacitance of the filled space between them is measured. The measured value then is being converted to level.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Level change control&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ====&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;It must be taken into account that at the &#039;&#039;&#039;same&#039;&#039;&#039; level, but &#039;&#039;&#039;different humidity&#039;&#039;&#039;, the sensor shows &#039;&#039;&#039;differnet level&#039;&#039;&#039;. For this reason, the sensor should be &#039;&#039;&#039;used to monitor level dynamics&#039;&#039;&#039; rather than to measure the actual product collected. The change in the filling level graph with changes in the humidity of the measured medium is shown in the graph below.  &amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;[[Файл:Db2 chart examples.png|мини|График измерения показаний ДБ-2 при разной влажности|без|700x700пкс]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The chart is taken from AVTOGRAPH monitoring platform&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is advisable that the combine hopper is always filled to the level where the standard alarm is triggered. With a team scheme of combine harvesters operating on the field, the bunker may not be completely filled until the grain is unloaded. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;SENSOR INSTALLATION IN THE BUNKER&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Файл:DB2 installation.png|мини|500x500пкс|Схема монтажа датчика]][https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-bPSv1mriM&amp;amp;t=1s Ссылка на видео-инструкцию по монтажу датчика]&amp;lt;ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Select a location for installation:&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;li&amp;gt;the electrode should not come close to the unloading auger due to the possibility of clogging the auger and damaging the electrode;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;the electrode should not interfere with workers cleaning the unloading auger;&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;the electrode should not be completely covered with grain when filling the hopper, i.e. It is recommended to place the upper part of the electrode near the corner of the hopper (it should be noted that the sensor continues to record level changes even when it is completely filled with grain). Thus, the electrode does not have to be vertical to the ground - it should only go along the wall of the bunker at the same distance from it;&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Embed the sensor into the wall of the bunker close to the top edge; &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Connect the brown output of the sensor to the electrode using a screw or solder; &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Insulate the mounting location of the sensor output with the electrode with heat-shrinkable tube (pos. 10); &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Secure the resulting electrode to the insulators using ties;&amp;lt;/ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[Файл:DB2 installation plastic.png|мини|Монтаж датчика в неметаллический бункер]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== INSTALLATION IN A PLASTIC HOPPER ===&lt;br /&gt;
When installing in a plastic hopper, it is necessary to additionally install a second electrode (the same or a metal strip) parallel to the main one at a distance of 30 - 60 mm and connect it to the black output of the sensor (also known as the common wire and the sensor body).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
== &#039;&#039;&#039;CONFIGURATION&#039;&#039;&#039; ==&lt;br /&gt;
Use the [https://www.fmeter.ru/download/_ftp/eng/datchik-urovnja-sypuchih-produktov/eskort-db-2/DB2_Configurator.zip?v=270624163916 configurator] to configure the sensor. The program window is shown below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Файл:Db_configurator_overall_view.png|безрамки|500x500пкс]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Файл:DB2 connecting to laptop2.png|мини|Подключение ДБ-2 к компьютеру для настройки]]ATTENTION! After turning on the sensor&#039;s power, its output is in RS-485 mode for 15 seconds. This allows you to connect a sensor that is in a mode other than RS-485 for configuration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Connect the USB-RS485 converter “Escort C-200M2” or similar to the computer, and the sensor to the converter in accordance with the diagram presented. Do not connect the red wire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Note. The sensor calibration should be performed after installation. Therefore, it will be more convenient to connect the converter not directly to the sensor, but through a cable extension.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Driver for C-200M2&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;We recommend using our Escort C200M/C200M2 USB-RS-485 converter, since we cannot guarantee 100% compatibility of our devices with converters from other brands. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When working with a laptop, we recommend connecting it to the power supply and/or connecting an additional USB cable to the ADD connector of the PWR C200M. Otherwise, there may not be enough power to operate the sensor and transmitter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Along with installing the configurator 1.0.2.38, the drivers for the C200M will be installed automatically.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you use C200M2 on Windows 10 and 11 operating systems, drivers should be installed automatically from Windows Update, on the Windows 7 operating system and below, you may need to [https://windowsreport.com/driver-signature-enforcement-windows-10/ disable the electronic signature of drivers] and manually install [https://www.fmeter.ru/download/_ftp/eng/escort_c-200m/Escort%20driver%20C-200M2.zip?v=050623134319 drivers for the С200M2].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the driver was installed correctly, then after connecting the converter to your PC/laptop, you will see the STMicroelectronics Virtual COM Port (&#039;&#039;&#039;1&#039;&#039;&#039;)(C200M) or USB-SERIAL CH341A (&#039;&#039;&#039;2&#039;&#039;&#039;)(C200M2) device in the COM and LPT ports section of the Windows device manager &amp;quot; to enter this menu, press &#039;&#039;&#039;win+r&#039;&#039;&#039; and enter &#039;&#039;&#039;devmgmt.msc&#039;&#039;&#039; and press &#039;&#039;&#039;OK&#039;&#039;&#039; (&#039;&#039;&#039;3&#039;&#039;&#039;) and then expand the com ports submenu (&#039;&#039;&#039;4&#039;&#039;&#039;)&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The com port number displayed in this menu is also needed to connect the sensor.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;[[Файл:Db2 configurator connection.png|мини|400x400пкс|Выберете порт и нажмите кнопку Открыть порт]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Connecting to the sensor in the configurator&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
# Select the appropriate port and click the “Open port” button in the “TD500 Configurator” program window. Power up the sensor by connecting the red cable.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Sensor calibration&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Файл:Db2_current_readings.png|справа|безрамки|500x500пкс]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
DB-2 is calibrated without bulk product. It must be mounted on the hopper before calibration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Set the minimum value when the hopper is empty by clicking the Set Current button in the Empty line&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The full value should be set to 9-10 times greater than the current empty sensor value.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus, if &#039;&#039;&#039;Current&#039;&#039;&#039; is 4741, then the &#039;&#039;&#039;Full calibration&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;value&#039;&#039;&#039; should be set to 47410. To do this, in the sensor calibration interface, in the &#039;&#039;&#039;Full&#039;&#039;&#039; line, enter 47410 and click &#039;&#039;&#039;Set&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Changing the network address&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To change the network address, click the Change network address button. In the window that opens, enter the required address (1-255) and click OK&#039;&#039;&#039;.&#039;&#039;&#039;[[Файл:DB2 network address.png|мини|Изменение сетевого адреса в датчике ДБ-2|без|402x402пкс]]&lt;br /&gt;

=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Tank calibration&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
There is no need to calibrate the hopper with DB-2 installed in it. The measured value is very dependent on the humidity of the product. The level will be different in the morning, afternoon and evening, so the calibration data will be misleading.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
It is connected to the sensor terminals in the same way as fuel level sensors - via a network address.&lt;br /&gt;

== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;POSSIBLE PROBLEMS AND THEIR SOLUTIONS&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;How to switch the sensor to analog mode&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;DB-2 in modification 23 years old and newer always works in two modes - RS-485 (orange and white cables) and analog (green cable). There is no need to additionally select analog mode.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &amp;lt;big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;The level does not reach full when the hopper is full&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;If the level does not rise to full when filling the hopper, this is normal if the calibration was carried out according to the instructions. This is necessary so that the filling of the hopper is visible even when the product has high humidity. However, at high humidity the level will be significantly higher.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you want your graph to show how completely the bunker is filled, you can attach a calibration table. Take the sensor value that is observed when the bunker is full and set the corresponding value in the calibration table equal to the volume of the full bunker.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But it is worth considering that in this case, when filling the bunker with humid product, the level may reach a maximum when the bunker is not completely filled.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &amp;lt;big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;The sensor periodically reports error 6500&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;In this case, you should check the reliability of the connection of the sensor&#039;s measuring contacts to the electrodes/hopper.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Level values ​​falls down&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;In this case, you should check the reliability of the connection of the sensor&#039;s measuring contacts to the electrodes/hopper.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;The sensor periodically reports error 7000&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Perhaps the product was too wet and the measured value was higher than the Full calibration value. If the problem persists, check the integrity of the insulation on the electrodes&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;The readings are jumping up&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Perhaps the product was too wet and the measured value was higher than the Full calibration value. If the problem persists, check the integrity of the insulation on the electrodes&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;GENERAL INFORMATION&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ==&lt;br /&gt;
Knowing the level of product in a bunker allows you to solve problems of accounting for seeds, fertilizers, and crops. Monitoring the dynamics of level changes, taking into account the speed of movement and the cultivated area, makes it possible to control the seeding rate/fertilizer application during sowing, and the yield during combining. The bulk materials level sensor (hereinafter referred to as the sensor) is specially designed for use with a transport monitoring system - it is a modified fuel level sensor. For specialized accounting, you can use Agronaut software.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;OPERATION PRINCIPLES&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
The principle of operation of a capacitive sensor is based on recording changes in the capacity of the built-in capacitor. The high sensitivity of the capacitor allows the sensor to work with bulk solids having different levels of dielectric constant, as well as with dielectric substances. The electrode and the wall of the hopper (or 2 parallel electrodes) form a measuring system of 2 electrodes, in which the capacitance of the filled space between them is measured. The measured value then is being converted to level.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Level change control&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ====&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;It must be taken into account that at the &#039;&#039;&#039;same&#039;&#039;&#039; level, but &#039;&#039;&#039;different humidity&#039;&#039;&#039;, the sensor shows &#039;&#039;&#039;differnet level&#039;&#039;&#039;. For this reason, the sensor should be &#039;&#039;&#039;used to monitor level dynamics&#039;&#039;&#039; rather than to measure the actual product collected. The change in the filling level graph with changes in the humidity of the measured medium is shown in the graph below.  &amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;[[Файл:Db2 chart examples.png|мини|График измерения показаний ДБ-2 при разной влажности|без|700x700пкс]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The chart is taken from AVTOGRAPH monitoring platform&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is advisable that the combine hopper is always filled to the level where the standard alarm is triggered. With a team scheme of combine harvesters operating on the field, the bunker may not be completely filled until the grain is unloaded. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;SENSOR INSTALLATION IN THE BUNKER&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Файл:DB2 installation.png|мини|500x500пкс|Схема монтажа датчика]][https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-bPSv1mriM&amp;amp;t=1s Ссылка на видео-инструкцию по монтажу датчика]&amp;lt;ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Select a location for installation:&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;li&amp;gt;the electrode should not come close to the unloading auger due to the possibility of clogging the auger and damaging the electrode;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;the electrode should not interfere with workers cleaning the unloading auger;&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;the electrode should not be completely covered with grain when filling the hopper, i.e. It is recommended to place the upper part of the electrode near the corner of the hopper (it should be noted that the sensor continues to record level changes even when it is completely filled with grain). Thus, the electrode does not have to be vertical to the ground - it should only go along the wall of the bunker at the same distance from it;&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Embed the sensor into the wall of the bunker close to the top edge; &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Connect the brown output of the sensor to the electrode using a screw or solder; &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Insulate the mounting location of the sensor output with the electrode with heat-shrinkable tube (pos. 10); &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Secure the resulting electrode to the insulators using ties;&amp;lt;/ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[Файл:DB2 installation plastic.png|мини|Монтаж датчика в неметаллический бункер]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== INSTALLATION IN A PLASTIC HOPPER ===&lt;br /&gt;
When installing in a plastic hopper, it is necessary to additionally install a second electrode (the same or a metal strip) parallel to the main one at a distance of 30 - 60 mm and connect it to the black output of the sensor (also known as the common wire and the sensor body).&lt;br /&gt;

Connect the USB-RS485 converter “Escort C-200M2” or similar to the computer, and the sensor to the converter in accordance with the diagram presented. Do not connect the red wire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Note. The sensor calibration should be performed after installation. Therefore, it will be more convenient to connect the converter not directly to the sensor, but through a cable extension.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Driver for C-200M2&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;We recommend using our Escort C200M/C200M2 USB-RS-485 converter, since we cannot guarantee 100% compatibility of our devices with converters from other brands. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When working with a laptop, we recommend connecting it to the power supply and/or connecting an additional USB cable to the ADD connector of the PWR C200M. Otherwise, there may not be enough power to operate the sensor and transmitter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Along with installing the configurator 1.0.2.38, the drivers for the C200M will be installed automatically.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you use C200M2 on Windows 10 and 11 operating systems, drivers should be installed automatically from Windows Update, on the Windows 7 operating system and below, you may need to [https://windowsreport.com/driver-signature-enforcement-windows-10/ disable the electronic signature of drivers] and manually install [https://www.fmeter.ru/download/_ftp/eng/escort_c-200m/Escort%20driver%20C-200M2.zip?v=050623134319 drivers for the С200M2].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the driver was installed correctly, then after connecting the converter to your PC/laptop, you will see the STMicroelectronics Virtual COM Port (&#039;&#039;&#039;1&#039;&#039;&#039;)(C200M) or USB-SERIAL CH341A (&#039;&#039;&#039;2&#039;&#039;&#039;)(C200M2) device in the COM and LPT ports section of the Windows device manager &amp;quot; to enter this menu, press &#039;&#039;&#039;win+r&#039;&#039;&#039; and enter &#039;&#039;&#039;devmgmt.msc&#039;&#039;&#039; and press &#039;&#039;&#039;OK&#039;&#039;&#039; (&#039;&#039;&#039;3&#039;&#039;&#039;) and then expand the com ports submenu (&#039;&#039;&#039;4&#039;&#039;&#039;)&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The com port number displayed in this menu is also needed to connect the sensor.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;[[Файл:Db2 configurator connection.png|мини|400x400пкс|Выберете порт и нажмите кнопку Открыть порт]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Connecting to the sensor in the configurator&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
# Select the appropriate port and click the “Open port” button in the “TD500 Configurator” program window. Power up the sensor by connecting the red cable.&lt;br /&gt;
# After successful opening, click &#039;&#039;&#039;Search for sensors&#039;&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;[[Файл:Db2 configurator calibration interface.png|мини|517x517пкс|Интерфейс калибровки датчика]]&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Sensor calibration&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Файл:Db2_current_readings.png|справа|безрамки|500x500пкс]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
DB-2 is calibrated without bulk product. It must be mounted on the hopper before calibration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Set the minimum value when the hopper is empty by clicking the Set Current button in the Empty line&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The full value should be set to 9-10 times greater than the current empty sensor value.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus, if &#039;&#039;&#039;Current&#039;&#039;&#039; is 4741, then the &#039;&#039;&#039;Full calibration&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;value&#039;&#039;&#039; should be set to 47410. To do this, in the sensor calibration interface, in the &#039;&#039;&#039;Full&#039;&#039;&#039; line, enter 47410 and click &#039;&#039;&#039;Set&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Changing the network address&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To change the network address, click the Change network address button. In the window that opens, enter the required address (1-255) and click OK&#039;&#039;&#039;.&#039;&#039;&#039;[[Файл:DB2 network address.png|мини|Изменение сетевого адреса в датчике ДБ-2|без|402x402пкс]]&lt;br /&gt;

=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Tank calibration&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
There is no need to calibrate the hopper with DB-2 installed in it. The measured value is very dependent on the humidity of the product. The level will be different in the morning, afternoon and evening, so the calibration data will be misleading.&lt;br /&gt;

It is connected to the sensor terminals in the same way as fuel level sensors - via a network address.&lt;br /&gt;

== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;POSSIBLE PROBLEMS AND THEIR SOLUTIONS&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;How to switch the sensor to analog mode&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;DB-2 in modification 23 years old and newer always works in two modes - RS-485 (orange and white cables) and analog (green cable). There is no need to additionally select analog mode.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &amp;lt;big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;The level does not reach full when the hopper is full&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;If the level does not rise to full when filling the hopper, this is normal if the calibration was carried out according to the instructions. This is necessary so that the filling of the hopper is visible even when the product has high humidity. However, at high humidity the level will be significantly higher.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you want your graph to show how completely the bunker is filled, you can attach a calibration table. Take the sensor value that is observed when the bunker is full and set the corresponding value in the calibration table equal to the volume of the full bunker.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But it is worth considering that in this case, when filling the bunker with humid product, the level may reach a maximum when the bunker is not completely filled.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &amp;lt;big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;The sensor periodically reports error 6500&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;In this case, you should check the reliability of the connection of the sensor&#039;s measuring contacts to the electrodes/hopper.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Level values ​​falls down&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;In this case, you should check the reliability of the connection of the sensor&#039;s measuring contacts to the electrodes/hopper.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;The sensor periodically reports error 7000&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Perhaps the product was too wet and the measured value was higher than the Full calibration value. If the problem persists, check the integrity of the insulation on the electrodes&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;The readings are jumping up&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Perhaps the product was too wet and the measured value was higher than the Full calibration value. If the problem persists, check the integrity of the insulation on the electrodes&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;GENERAL INFORMATION&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ==&lt;br /&gt;
Knowing the level of product in a bunker allows you to solve problems of accounting for seeds, fertilizers, and crops. Monitoring the dynamics of level changes, taking into account the speed of movement and the cultivated area, makes it possible to control the seeding rate/fertilizer application during sowing, and the yield during combining. The bulk materials level sensor (hereinafter referred to as the sensor) is specially designed for use with a transport monitoring system - it is a modified fuel level sensor. For specialized accounting, you can use Agronaut software.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;OPERATION PRINCIPLES&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
The principle of operation of a capacitive sensor is based on recording changes in the capacity of the built-in capacitor. The high sensitivity of the capacitor allows the sensor to work with bulk solids having different levels of dielectric constant, as well as with dielectric substances. The electrode and the wall of the hopper (or 2 parallel electrodes) form a measuring system of 2 electrodes, in which the capacitance of the filled space between them is measured. The measured value then is being converted to level.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Level change control&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ====&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;It must be taken into account that at the &#039;&#039;&#039;same&#039;&#039;&#039; level, but &#039;&#039;&#039;different humidity&#039;&#039;&#039;, the sensor shows &#039;&#039;&#039;differnet level&#039;&#039;&#039;. For this reason, the sensor should be &#039;&#039;&#039;used to monitor level dynamics&#039;&#039;&#039; rather than to measure the actual product collected. The change in the filling level graph with changes in the humidity of the measured medium is shown in the graph below.  &amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;[[Файл:Db2 chart examples.png|мини|График измерения показаний ДБ-2 при разной влажности|без|700x700пкс]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The chart is taken from AVTOGRAPH monitoring platform&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is advisable that the combine hopper is always filled to the level where the standard alarm is triggered. With a team scheme of combine harvesters operating on the field, the bunker may not be completely filled until the grain is unloaded. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;SENSOR INSTALLATION IN THE BUNKER&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Файл:DB2 installation.png|мини|500x500пкс|Схема монтажа датчика]][https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-bPSv1mriM&amp;amp;t=1s Ссылка на видео-инструкцию по монтажу датчика]&amp;lt;ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Select a location for installation:&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;li&amp;gt;the electrode should not come close to the unloading auger due to the possibility of clogging the auger and damaging the electrode;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;the electrode should not interfere with workers cleaning the unloading auger;&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;the electrode should not be completely covered with grain when filling the hopper, i.e. It is recommended to place the upper part of the electrode near the corner of the hopper (it should be noted that the sensor continues to record level changes even when it is completely filled with grain). Thus, the electrode does not have to be vertical to the ground - it should only go along the wall of the bunker at the same distance from it;&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Embed the sensor into the wall of the bunker close to the top edge; &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Connect the brown output of the sensor to the electrode using a screw or solder; &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Insulate the mounting location of the sensor output with the electrode with heat-shrinkable tube (pos. 10); &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Secure the resulting electrode to the insulators using ties;&amp;lt;/ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[Файл:DB2 installation plastic.png|мини|Монтаж датчика в неметаллический бункер]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== INSTALLATION IN A PLASTIC HOPPER ===&lt;br /&gt;
When installing in a plastic hopper, it is necessary to additionally install a second electrode (the same or a metal strip) parallel to the main one at a distance of 30 - 60 mm and connect it to the black output of the sensor (also known as the common wire and the sensor body).&lt;br /&gt;

Connect the USB-RS485 converter “Escort C-200M2” or similar to the computer, and the sensor to the converter in accordance with the diagram presented. Do not connect the red wire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Note. The sensor calibration should be performed after installation. Therefore, it will be more convenient to connect the converter not directly to the sensor, but through a cable extension.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Driver for C-200M2&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;We recommend using our Escort C200M/C200M2 USB-RS-485 converter, since we cannot guarantee 100% compatibility of our devices with converters from other brands. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When working with a laptop, we recommend connecting it to the power supply and/or connecting an additional USB cable to the ADD connector of the PWR C200M. Otherwise, there may not be enough power to operate the sensor and transmitter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Along with installing the configurator 1.0.2.38, the drivers for the C200M will be installed automatically.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you use C200M2 on Windows 10 and 11 operating systems, drivers should be installed automatically from Windows Update, on the Windows 7 operating system and below, you may need to [https://windowsreport.com/driver-signature-enforcement-windows-10/ disable the electronic signature of drivers] and manually install [https://www.fmeter.ru/download/_ftp/eng/escort_c-200m/Escort%20driver%20C-200M2.zip?v=050623134319 drivers for the С200M2].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the driver was installed correctly, then after connecting the converter to your PC/laptop, you will see the STMicroelectronics Virtual COM Port (&#039;&#039;&#039;1&#039;&#039;&#039;)(C200M) or USB-SERIAL CH341A (&#039;&#039;&#039;2&#039;&#039;&#039;)(C200M2) device in the COM and LPT ports section of the Windows device manager &amp;quot; to enter this menu, press &#039;&#039;&#039;win+r&#039;&#039;&#039; and enter &#039;&#039;&#039;devmgmt.msc&#039;&#039;&#039; and press &#039;&#039;&#039;OK&#039;&#039;&#039; (&#039;&#039;&#039;3&#039;&#039;&#039;) and then expand the com ports submenu (&#039;&#039;&#039;4&#039;&#039;&#039;)&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The com port number displayed in this menu is also needed to connect the sensor.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;[[Файл:Db2 configurator connection.png|мини|400x400пкс|Выберете порт и нажмите кнопку Открыть порт]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Connecting to the sensor in the configurator&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
# Select the appropriate port and click the “Open port” button in the “TD500 Configurator” program window. Power up the sensor by connecting the red cable.&lt;br /&gt;
# After successful opening, click &#039;&#039;&#039;Search for sensors&#039;&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;[[Файл:Db2 configurator calibration interface.png|мини|517x517пкс|Интерфейс калибровки датчика]]&lt;br /&gt;

=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Sensor calibration&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Файл:Db2_current_readings.png|справа|безрамки|500x500пкс]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
DB-2 is calibrated without bulk product. It must be mounted on the hopper before calibration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Set the minimum value when the hopper is empty by clicking the Set Current button in the Empty line&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The full value should be set to 9-10 times greater than the current empty sensor value.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus, if &#039;&#039;&#039;Current&#039;&#039;&#039; is 4741, then the &#039;&#039;&#039;Full calibration&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;value&#039;&#039;&#039; should be set to 47410. To do this, in the sensor calibration interface, in the &#039;&#039;&#039;Full&#039;&#039;&#039; line, enter 47410 and click &#039;&#039;&#039;Set&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Changing the network address&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To change the network address, click the Change network address button. In the window that opens, enter the required address (1-255) and click OK&#039;&#039;&#039;.&#039;&#039;&#039;[[Файл:DB2 network address.png|мини|Изменение сетевого адреса в датчике ДБ-2|без|402x402пкс]]&lt;br /&gt;

=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Tank calibration&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
There is no need to calibrate the hopper with DB-2 installed in it. The measured value is very dependent on the humidity of the product. The level will be different in the morning, afternoon and evening, so the calibration data will be misleading.&lt;br /&gt;

== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;POSSIBLE PROBLEMS AND THEIR SOLUTIONS&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;How to switch the sensor to analog mode&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;DB-2 in modification 23 years old and newer always works in two modes - RS-485 (orange and white cables) and analog (green cable). There is no need to additionally select analog mode.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &amp;lt;big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;The level does not reach full when the hopper is full&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;If the level does not rise to full when filling the hopper, this is normal if the calibration was carried out according to the instructions. This is necessary so that the filling of the hopper is visible even when the product has high humidity. However, at high humidity the level will be significantly higher.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you want your graph to show how completely the bunker is filled, you can attach a calibration table. Take the sensor value that is observed when the bunker is full and set the corresponding value in the calibration table equal to the volume of the full bunker.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But it is worth considering that in this case, when filling the bunker with humid product, the level may reach a maximum when the bunker is not completely filled.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &amp;lt;big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;The sensor periodically reports error 6500&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;In this case, you should check the reliability of the connection of the sensor&#039;s measuring contacts to the electrodes/hopper.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Level values ​​falls down&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;In this case, you should check the reliability of the connection of the sensor&#039;s measuring contacts to the electrodes/hopper.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;The sensor periodically reports error 7000&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Perhaps the product was too wet and the measured value was higher than the Full calibration value. If the problem persists, check the integrity of the insulation on the electrodes&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;The readings are jumping up&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Возможно продукт оказался слишком влажным и измеряемое значение оказалось выше калибровочного Полный. Если проблема не исчезает, то проверьте целостность изоляции на электродах&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;GENERAL INFORMATION&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ==&lt;br /&gt;
Knowing the level of product in a bunker allows you to solve problems of accounting for seeds, fertilizers, and crops. Monitoring the dynamics of level changes, taking into account the speed of movement and the cultivated area, makes it possible to control the seeding rate/fertilizer application during sowing, and the yield during combining. The bulk materials level sensor (hereinafter referred to as the sensor) is specially designed for use with a transport monitoring system - it is a modified fuel level sensor. For specialized accounting, you can use Agronaut software.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;OPERATION PRINCIPLES&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
The principle of operation of a capacitive sensor is based on recording changes in the capacity of the built-in capacitor. The high sensitivity of the capacitor allows the sensor to work with bulk solids having different levels of dielectric constant, as well as with dielectric substances. The electrode and the wall of the hopper (or 2 parallel electrodes) form a measuring system of 2 electrodes, in which the capacitance of the filled space between them is measured. The measured value then is being converted to level.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Level change control&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ====&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;It must be taken into account that at the &#039;&#039;&#039;same&#039;&#039;&#039; level, but &#039;&#039;&#039;different humidity&#039;&#039;&#039;, the sensor shows &#039;&#039;&#039;differnet level&#039;&#039;&#039;. For this reason, the sensor should be &#039;&#039;&#039;used to monitor level dynamics&#039;&#039;&#039; rather than to measure the actual product collected. The change in the filling level graph with changes in the humidity of the measured medium is shown in the graph below.  &amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;[[Файл:Db2 chart examples.png|мини|График измерения показаний ДБ-2 при разной влажности|без|700x700пкс]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The chart is taken from AVTOGRAPH monitoring platform&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is advisable that the combine hopper is always filled to the level where the standard alarm is triggered. With a team scheme of combine harvesters operating on the field, the bunker may not be completely filled until the grain is unloaded. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;SENSOR INSTALLATION IN THE BUNKER&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Файл:DB2 installation.png|мини|500x500пкс|Схема монтажа датчика]][https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-bPSv1mriM&amp;amp;t=1s Ссылка на видео-инструкцию по монтажу датчика]&amp;lt;ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Select a location for installation:&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;li&amp;gt;the electrode should not come close to the unloading auger due to the possibility of clogging the auger and damaging the electrode;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;the electrode should not interfere with workers cleaning the unloading auger;&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;the electrode should not be completely covered with grain when filling the hopper, i.e. It is recommended to place the upper part of the electrode near the corner of the hopper (it should be noted that the sensor continues to record level changes even when it is completely filled with grain). Thus, the electrode does not have to be vertical to the ground - it should only go along the wall of the bunker at the same distance from it;&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Embed the sensor into the wall of the bunker close to the top edge; &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Connect the brown output of the sensor to the electrode using a screw or solder; &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Insulate the mounting location of the sensor output with the electrode with heat-shrinkable tube (pos. 10); &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Secure the resulting electrode to the insulators using ties;&amp;lt;/ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[Файл:DB2 installation plastic.png|мини|Монтаж датчика в неметаллический бункер]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== INSTALLATION IN A PLASTIC HOPPER ===&lt;br /&gt;
When installing in a plastic hopper, it is necessary to additionally install a second electrode (the same or a metal strip) parallel to the main one at a distance of 30 - 60 mm and connect it to the black output of the sensor (also known as the common wire and the sensor body).&lt;br /&gt;

Connect the USB-RS485 converter “Escort C-200M2” or similar to the computer, and the sensor to the converter in accordance with the diagram presented. Do not connect the red wire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Note. The sensor calibration should be performed after installation. Therefore, it will be more convenient to connect the converter not directly to the sensor, but through a cable extension.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Driver for C-200M2&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;We recommend using our Escort C200M/C200M2 USB-RS-485 converter, since we cannot guarantee 100% compatibility of our devices with converters from other brands. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When working with a laptop, we recommend connecting it to the power supply and/or connecting an additional USB cable to the ADD connector of the PWR C200M. Otherwise, there may not be enough power to operate the sensor and transmitter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Along with installing the configurator 1.0.2.38, the drivers for the C200M will be installed automatically.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you use C200M2 on Windows 10 and 11 operating systems, drivers should be installed automatically from Windows Update, on the Windows 7 operating system and below, you may need to [https://windowsreport.com/driver-signature-enforcement-windows-10/ disable the electronic signature of drivers] and manually install [https://www.fmeter.ru/download/_ftp/eng/escort_c-200m/Escort%20driver%20C-200M2.zip?v=050623134319 drivers for the С200M2].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the driver was installed correctly, then after connecting the converter to your PC/laptop, you will see the STMicroelectronics Virtual COM Port (&#039;&#039;&#039;1&#039;&#039;&#039;)(C200M) or USB-SERIAL CH341A (&#039;&#039;&#039;2&#039;&#039;&#039;)(C200M2) device in the COM and LPT ports section of the Windows device manager &amp;quot; to enter this menu, press &#039;&#039;&#039;win+r&#039;&#039;&#039; and enter &#039;&#039;&#039;devmgmt.msc&#039;&#039;&#039; and press &#039;&#039;&#039;OK&#039;&#039;&#039; (&#039;&#039;&#039;3&#039;&#039;&#039;) and then expand the com ports submenu (&#039;&#039;&#039;4&#039;&#039;&#039;)&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The com port number displayed in this menu is also needed to connect the sensor.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;[[Файл:Db2 configurator connection.png|мини|400x400пкс|Выберете порт и нажмите кнопку Открыть порт]]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
ДБ-2 калибруется без сыпучего продукта. Перед калибровкой он должен быть смонтирован на бункере.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Установите минимальное значение при пустом бункере, нажав кнопку &#039;&#039;&#039;Установить Текущий&#039;&#039;&#039; в строке &#039;&#039;&#039;Пустой&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Значение полного следует устанавливать в 9-10 раз больше, чем текущее значение на пустом датчике.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Таким образом, если &#039;&#039;&#039;Текущий&#039;&#039;&#039; равен 4741, то калибровочное значение Полный следует установить 47410. Для этого в [[:Файл:Db2 configurator calibration interface.png#/media/Файл:Db2 configurator calibration interface.png|интерфейсе калибровки]] датчика в строке &#039;&#039;&#039;Полный&#039;&#039;&#039; введите 47410 и нажмите &#039;&#039;&#039;Установить&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Изменение сетевого адреса&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Для того, чтобы изменить сетевой адрес следует нажать кнопку &#039;&#039;&#039;Изменить сетевой адрес.&#039;&#039;&#039; В открывшемся окне введите требуемый адрес (1-255) и нажмите &#039;&#039;&#039;ОК.&#039;&#039;&#039;[[Файл:DB2 network address.png|мини|Изменение сетевого адреса в датчике ДБ-2|без|402x402пкс]]&lt;br /&gt;

=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Тарировка&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
Тарировку емкости с установленным в ней ДБ-2 производить не нужно. Измеряемое значение очень сильно зависит от влажности продукта. Утром, днем и вечером уровень будет различным, поэтому получаемые по тарировке данные будут вводить в заблуждение.&lt;br /&gt;

=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Как перевести датчик в аналоговый режим&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;ДБ-2 в модификации 23 года и новее работает всегда в двух режимах - RS-485 (оранжевый и белый кабели) и аналоговый (зеленый кабель). &#039;&#039;&#039;Отдельно выбирать аналоговый режим не нужно&#039;&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &amp;lt;big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Уровень не доходит до полного при заполненном бункере&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;  Если у вас при наполнении бункера уровень не поднимается до полного - это нормально, если калибровка выполнялась согласно инструкции. Это нужно для того, чтобы наполнение бункера было видно даже, когда продукт имеет высокую влажность. При этом при высокой влажности уровень будет значительно выше.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  Если вы хотите, чтобы у вас на графике было видно заполнение бункера полностью - вы можете прикрепить таблицу тарировки. Возьмите значение датчика, которое наблюдается при наполненном бункере и задайте соответствующее ему значение в тарировочной таблице равное объему полного бункера.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  Но стоит учитывать, что в таком случае при наполнении бункера сырым продуктом уровень может достичь максимума при не полностью заполненном бункере.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &amp;lt;big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Датчик периодически передает ошибку 6500&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;В таком случае следует проверить надежность подключения измерительных контактов датчика к электродам/бункеру.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Значения уровня прыгают вниз&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;В таком случае следует проверить надежность подключения измерительных контактов датчика к электродам/бункеру.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Датчик периодически передаёт ошибку 7000&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Возможно продукт оказался слишком влажным и измеряемое значение оказалось выше калибровочного Полный. Если проблема не исчезает, то проверьте целостность изоляции на электродах&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;GENERAL INFORMATION&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ==&lt;br /&gt;
Knowing the level of product in a bunker allows you to solve problems of accounting for seeds, fertilizers, and crops. Monitoring the dynamics of level changes, taking into account the speed of movement and the cultivated area, makes it possible to control the seeding rate/fertilizer application during sowing, and the yield during combining. The bulk materials level sensor (hereinafter referred to as the sensor) is specially designed for use with a transport monitoring system - it is a modified fuel level sensor. For specialized accounting, you can use Agronaut software.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;OPERATION PRINCIPLES&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
The principle of operation of a capacitive sensor is based on recording changes in the capacity of the built-in capacitor. The high sensitivity of the capacitor allows the sensor to work with bulk solids having different levels of dielectric constant, as well as with dielectric substances. The electrode and the wall of the hopper (or 2 parallel electrodes) form a measuring system of 2 electrodes, in which the capacitance of the filled space between them is measured. The measured value then is being converted to level.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Level change control&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ====&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;It must be taken into account that at the &#039;&#039;&#039;same&#039;&#039;&#039; level, but &#039;&#039;&#039;different humidity&#039;&#039;&#039;, the sensor shows &#039;&#039;&#039;differnet level&#039;&#039;&#039;. For this reason, the sensor should be &#039;&#039;&#039;used to monitor level dynamics&#039;&#039;&#039; rather than to measure the actual product collected. The change in the filling level graph with changes in the humidity of the measured medium is shown in the graph below.  &amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;[[Файл:Db2 chart examples.png|мини|График измерения показаний ДБ-2 при разной влажности|без|700x700пкс]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The chart is taken from AVTOGRAPH monitoring platform&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is advisable that the combine hopper is always filled to the level where the standard alarm is triggered. With a team scheme of combine harvesters operating on the field, the bunker may not be completely filled until the grain is unloaded. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;SENSOR INSTALLATION IN THE BUNKER&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Файл:DB2 installation.png|мини|500x500пкс|Схема монтажа датчика]][https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-bPSv1mriM&amp;amp;t=1s Ссылка на видео-инструкцию по монтажу датчика]&amp;lt;ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Select a location for installation:&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;li&amp;gt;the electrode should not come close to the unloading auger due to the possibility of clogging the auger and damaging the electrode;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;the electrode should not interfere with workers cleaning the unloading auger;&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;the electrode should not be completely covered with grain when filling the hopper, i.e. It is recommended to place the upper part of the electrode near the corner of the hopper (it should be noted that the sensor continues to record level changes even when it is completely filled with grain). Thus, the electrode does not have to be vertical to the ground - it should only go along the wall of the bunker at the same distance from it;&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Embed the sensor into the wall of the bunker close to the top edge; &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Connect the brown output of the sensor to the electrode using a screw or solder; &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Insulate the mounting location of the sensor output with the electrode with heat-shrinkable tube (pos. 10); &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Secure the resulting electrode to the insulators using ties;&amp;lt;/ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[Файл:DB2 installation plastic.png|мини|Монтаж датчика в неметаллический бункер]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== INSTALLATION IN A PLASTIC HOPPER ===&lt;br /&gt;
When installing in a plastic hopper, it is necessary to additionally install a second electrode (the same or a metal strip) parallel to the main one at a distance of 30 - 60 mm and connect it to the black output of the sensor (also known as the common wire and the sensor body).&lt;br /&gt;

[[Файл:DB2 connecting to laptop2.png|мини|Подключение ДБ-2 к компьютеру для настройки]]ATTENTION! After turning on the sensor&#039;s power, its output is in RS-485 mode for 15 seconds. This allows you to connect a sensor that is in a mode other than RS-485 for configuration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Connect the USB-RS485 converter “Escort S-200M2” or similar to the computer, and the sensor to the converter in accordance with the diagram presented. Do not connect the red wire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Note. The sensor calibration should be performed after installation. Therefore, it will be more convenient to connect the converter not directly to the sensor, but through a cable extension.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Драйвер преобразователя&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Мы рекомендуем использовать преобразователь USB-RS-485 Escort C200M/C200М2 нашего производства, так как мы не можем гарантировать 100% совместимость наших устройства с преобразователями других брендов. При работе с ноутбуком, рекомендуем подключить его к сети питания и/или подключить дополнительный USB кабель в разъем ADD PWR C200M. В ином случае может не хватить питания для работы датчика и преобразователя. Вместе с установкой конфигуратора 1.0.2.38 драйвера на С200М установятся автоматически. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Если вы используете С200М2 на операционных системах windows 10 и 11 драйвера должны установиться автоматически из центра обновления windows, на операционной системе windows 7 и ниже может понадобится [https://remontka.pro/disable-drivers-signature-check-windows-10/ отключение электронной подписи драйверов] и ручная установка [https://www.fmeter.ru/download/_ftp/escort_c-200m/%D0%94%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B9%D0%B2%D0%B5%D1%80%20%D0%B4%D0%BB%D1%8F%20C-200M2.zip?v=150323104902 драйверов на С200М2].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Если драйвер был верно установлен, то после подключение преобразователя к вашему ПК/ноутбуку, вы увидите устройство STMicroelectronics Virtual COM Port (&#039;&#039;&#039;1&#039;&#039;&#039;)(С200М) или USB-SERIAL CH341A (&#039;&#039;&#039;2&#039;&#039;&#039;)(C200М2) в пункте COM и LPT порты диспетчера устройства Windows &amp;quot;для входа в данное меню нажмите &#039;&#039;&#039;win+r&#039;&#039;&#039; и введите &#039;&#039;&#039;devmgmt.msc&#039;&#039;&#039; и нажмите &#039;&#039;&#039;ОК&#039;&#039;&#039;(&#039;&#039;&#039;3&#039;&#039;&#039;) и после раскройте подменю ком портов (&#039;&#039;&#039;4&#039;&#039;&#039;)&amp;quot; Номер ком порта отображаемый в данном меню так же нужен для подключения датчика.&lt;br /&gt;

=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Калибровка датчика&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Файл:Db2_current_readings.png|справа|безрамки|500x500пкс]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ДБ-2 калибруется без сыпучего продукта. Перед калибровкой он должен быть смонтирован на бункере.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Установите минимальное значение при пустом бункере, нажав кнопку &#039;&#039;&#039;Установить Текущий&#039;&#039;&#039; в строке &#039;&#039;&#039;Пустой&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Значение полного следует устанавливать в 9-10 раз больше, чем текущее значение на пустом датчике.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Таким образом, если &#039;&#039;&#039;Текущий&#039;&#039;&#039; равен 4741, то калибровочное значение Полный следует установить 47410. Для этого в [[:Файл:Db2 configurator calibration interface.png#/media/Файл:Db2 configurator calibration interface.png|интерфейсе калибровки]] датчика в строке &#039;&#039;&#039;Полный&#039;&#039;&#039; введите 47410 и нажмите &#039;&#039;&#039;Установить&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Изменение сетевого адреса&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Для того, чтобы изменить сетевой адрес следует нажать кнопку &#039;&#039;&#039;Изменить сетевой адрес.&#039;&#039;&#039; В открывшемся окне введите требуемый адрес (1-255) и нажмите &#039;&#039;&#039;ОК.&#039;&#039;&#039;[[Файл:DB2 network address.png|мини|Изменение сетевого адреса в датчике ДБ-2|без|402x402пкс]]&lt;br /&gt;

=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Тарировка&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
Тарировку емкости с установленным в ней ДБ-2 производить не нужно. Измеряемое значение очень сильно зависит от влажности продукта. Утром, днем и вечером уровень будет различным, поэтому получаемые по тарировке данные будут вводить в заблуждение.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Как перевести датчик в аналоговый режим&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;ДБ-2 в модификации 23 года и новее работает всегда в двух режимах - RS-485 (оранжевый и белый кабели) и аналоговый (зеленый кабель). &#039;&#039;&#039;Отдельно выбирать аналоговый режим не нужно&#039;&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &amp;lt;big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Уровень не доходит до полного при заполненном бункере&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;  Если у вас при наполнении бункера уровень не поднимается до полного - это нормально, если калибровка выполнялась согласно инструкции. Это нужно для того, чтобы наполнение бункера было видно даже, когда продукт имеет высокую влажность. При этом при высокой влажности уровень будет значительно выше.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  Если вы хотите, чтобы у вас на графике было видно заполнение бункера полностью - вы можете прикрепить таблицу тарировки. Возьмите значение датчика, которое наблюдается при наполненном бункере и задайте соответствующее ему значение в тарировочной таблице равное объему полного бункера.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  Но стоит учитывать, что в таком случае при наполнении бункера сырым продуктом уровень может достичь максимума при не полностью заполненном бункере.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &amp;lt;big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Датчик периодически передает ошибку 6500&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;В таком случае следует проверить надежность подключения измерительных контактов датчика к электродам/бункеру.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Значения уровня прыгают вниз&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;В таком случае следует проверить надежность подключения измерительных контактов датчика к электродам/бункеру.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Датчик периодически передаёт ошибку 7000&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Возможно продукт оказался слишком влажным и измеряемое значение оказалось выше калибровочного Полный. Если проблема не исчезает, то проверьте целостность изоляции на электродах&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Показания скачут вверх&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;

Knowing the level of product in a bunker allows you to solve problems of accounting for seeds, fertilizers, and crops. Monitoring the dynamics of level changes, taking into account the speed of movement and the cultivated area, makes it possible to control the seeding rate/fertilizer application during sowing, and the yield during combining. The bulk materials level sensor (hereinafter referred to as the sensor) is specially designed for use with a transport monitoring system - it is a modified fuel level sensor. For specialized accounting, you can use Agronaut software.&lt;br /&gt;

[[Файл:Db2 measurement principles.png|мини|Принцип измерения датчика ДБ-2]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;OPERATION PRINCIPLES&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
The principle of operation of a capacitive sensor is based on recording changes in the capacity of the built-in capacitor. The high sensitivity of the capacitor allows the sensor to work with bulk solids having different levels of dielectric constant, as well as with dielectric substances. The electrode and the wall of the hopper (or 2 parallel electrodes) form a measuring system of 2 electrodes, in which the capacitance of the filled space between them is measured. The measured value then is being converted to level.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Level change control&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ====&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;It must be taken into account that at the &#039;&#039;&#039;same&#039;&#039;&#039; level, but &#039;&#039;&#039;different humidity&#039;&#039;&#039;, the sensor shows &#039;&#039;&#039;differnet level&#039;&#039;&#039;. For this reason, the sensor should be &#039;&#039;&#039;used to monitor level dynamics&#039;&#039;&#039; rather than to measure the actual product collected. The change in the filling level graph with changes in the humidity of the measured medium is shown in the graph below.  &amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;[[Файл:Db2 chart examples.png|мини|График измерения показаний ДБ-2 при разной влажности|без|700x700пкс]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The chart is taken from AVTOGRAPH monitoring platform&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is advisable that the combine hopper is always filled to the level where the standard alarm is triggered. With a team scheme of combine harvesters operating on the field, the bunker may not be completely filled until the grain is unloaded. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;SENSOR INSTALLATION IN THE BUNKER&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Файл:DB2 installation.png|мини|500x500пкс|Схема монтажа датчика]][https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-bPSv1mriM&amp;amp;t=1s Ссылка на видео-инструкцию по монтажу датчика]&amp;lt;ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Select a location for installation:&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;li&amp;gt;the electrode should not come close to the unloading auger due to the possibility of clogging the auger and damaging the electrode;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;the electrode should not interfere with workers cleaning the unloading auger;&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;the electrode should not be completely covered with grain when filling the hopper, i.e. It is recommended to place the upper part of the electrode near the corner of the hopper (it should be noted that the sensor continues to record level changes even when it is completely filled with grain). Thus, the electrode does not have to be vertical to the ground - it should only go along the wall of the bunker at the same distance from it;&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Embed the sensor into the wall of the bunker close to the top edge; &lt;br /&gt;

При монтаже в пластиковый бункер требуется дополнительная установка второго электрода (такого же или металлической полосы) параллельно основному на 10 / 13 расстоянии 30 – 60 мм и подключение его к черному выводу датчика (он же общий провод и корпус датчика).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
[[Файл:DB2 connecting to laptop2.png|мини|Подключение ДБ-2 к компьютеру для настройки]]ВНИМАНИЕ! После включения питания датчика его выход находится в режиме RS-485 в течение 15 сек. Это позволяет подключить для настройки датчик, находящийся в режиме отличном от режима RS-485.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Подключите преобразователь USB-RS485 «Эскорт С-200М2» или аналогичный к компьютеру, а датчик к преобразователю в соответствии с представленной схемой. Не подключайте красный провод.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Примечание. Датчик калибруется после монтажа. Поэтому преобразователь будет удобнее подключить не напрямую к датчику, а через кабель трассу.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Драйвер преобразователя&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Мы рекомендуем использовать преобразователь USB-RS-485 Escort C200M/C200М2 нашего производства, так как мы не можем гарантировать 100% совместимость наших устройства с преобразователями других брендов. При работе с ноутбуком, рекомендуем подключить его к сети питания и/или подключить дополнительный USB кабель в разъем ADD PWR C200M. В ином случае может не хватить питания для работы датчика и преобразователя. Вместе с установкой конфигуратора 1.0.2.38 драйвера на С200М установятся автоматически. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Если вы используете С200М2 на операционных системах windows 10 и 11 драйвера должны установиться автоматически из центра обновления windows, на операционной системе windows 7 и ниже может понадобится [https://remontka.pro/disable-drivers-signature-check-windows-10/ отключение электронной подписи драйверов] и ручная установка [https://www.fmeter.ru/download/_ftp/escort_c-200m/%D0%94%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B9%D0%B2%D0%B5%D1%80%20%D0%B4%D0%BB%D1%8F%20C-200M2.zip?v=150323104902 драйверов на С200М2].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Если драйвер был верно установлен, то после подключение преобразователя к вашему ПК/ноутбуку, вы увидите устройство STMicroelectronics Virtual COM Port (&#039;&#039;&#039;1&#039;&#039;&#039;)(С200М) или USB-SERIAL CH341A (&#039;&#039;&#039;2&#039;&#039;&#039;)(C200М2) в пункте COM и LPT порты диспетчера устройства Windows &amp;quot;для входа в данное меню нажмите &#039;&#039;&#039;win+r&#039;&#039;&#039; и введите &#039;&#039;&#039;devmgmt.msc&#039;&#039;&#039; и нажмите &#039;&#039;&#039;ОК&#039;&#039;&#039;(&#039;&#039;&#039;3&#039;&#039;&#039;) и после раскройте подменю ком портов (&#039;&#039;&#039;4&#039;&#039;&#039;)&amp;quot; Номер ком порта отображаемый в данном меню так же нужен для подключения датчика.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
ДБ-2 калибруется без сыпучего продукта. Перед калибровкой он должен быть смонтирован на бункере.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Установите минимальное значение при пустом бункере, нажав кнопку &#039;&#039;&#039;Установить Текущий&#039;&#039;&#039; в строке &#039;&#039;&#039;Пустой&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Значение полного следует устанавливать в 9-10 раз больше, чем текущее значение на пустом датчике.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Таким образом, если &#039;&#039;&#039;Текущий&#039;&#039;&#039; равен 4741, то калибровочное значение Полный следует установить 47410. Для этого в [[:Файл:Db2 configurator calibration interface.png#/media/Файл:Db2 configurator calibration interface.png|интерфейсе калибровки]] датчика в строке &#039;&#039;&#039;Полный&#039;&#039;&#039; введите 47410 и нажмите &#039;&#039;&#039;Установить&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Изменение сетевого адреса&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Для того, чтобы изменить сетевой адрес следует нажать кнопку &#039;&#039;&#039;Изменить сетевой адрес.&#039;&#039;&#039; В открывшемся окне введите требуемый адрес (1-255) и нажмите &#039;&#039;&#039;ОК.&#039;&#039;&#039;[[Файл:DB2 network address.png|мини|Изменение сетевого адреса в датчике ДБ-2|без|402x402пкс]]&lt;br /&gt;

=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Тарировка&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
Тарировку емкости с установленным в ней ДБ-2 производить не нужно. Измеряемое значение очень сильно зависит от влажности продукта. Утром, днем и вечером уровень будет различным, поэтому получаемые по тарировке данные будут вводить в заблуждение.&lt;br /&gt;

=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Как перевести датчик в аналоговый режим&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;ДБ-2 в модификации 23 года и новее работает всегда в двух режимах - RS-485 (оранжевый и белый кабели) и аналоговый (зеленый кабель). &#039;&#039;&#039;Отдельно выбирать аналоговый режим не нужно&#039;&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &amp;lt;big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Уровень не доходит до полного при заполненном бункере&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;  Если у вас при наполнении бункера уровень не поднимается до полного - это нормально, если калибровка выполнялась согласно инструкции. Это нужно для того, чтобы наполнение бункера было видно даже, когда продукт имеет высокую влажность. При этом при высокой влажности уровень будет значительно выше.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  Если вы хотите, чтобы у вас на графике было видно заполнение бункера полностью - вы можете прикрепить таблицу тарировки. Возьмите значение датчика, которое наблюдается при наполненном бункере и задайте соответствующее ему значение в тарировочной таблице равное объему полного бункера.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  Но стоит учитывать, что в таком случае при наполнении бункера сырым продуктом уровень может достичь максимума при не полностью заполненном бункере.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &amp;lt;big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Датчик периодически передает ошибку 6500&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;В таком случае следует проверить надежность подключения измерительных контактов датчика к электродам/бункеру.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Значения уровня прыгают вниз&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;В таком случае следует проверить надежность подключения измерительных контактов датчика к электродам/бункеру.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Датчик периодически передаёт ошибку 7000&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Возможно продукт оказался слишком влажным и измеряемое значение оказалось выше калибровочного Полный. Если проблема не исчезает, то проверьте целостность изоляции на электродах&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Показания скачут вверх&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;GENERAL INFORMATION&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ==&lt;br /&gt;
Knowing the level of product in a bunker allows you to solve problems of accounting for seeds, fertilizers, and crops. Monitoring the dynamics of level changes, taking into account the speed of movement and the cultivated area, makes it possible to control the seeding rate/fertilizer application during sowing, and the yield during combining. The bulk materials level sensor (hereinafter referred to as the sensor) is specially designed for use with a transport monitoring system - it is a modified fuel level sensor. For specialized accounting, you can use Agronaut software.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;OPERATION PRINCIPLES&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
The principle of operation of a capacitive sensor is based on recording changes in the capacity of the built-in capacitor. The high sensitivity of the capacitor allows the sensor to work with bulk solids having different levels of dielectric constant, as well as with dielectric substances. The electrode and the wall of the hopper (or 2 parallel electrodes) form a measuring system of 2 electrodes, in which the capacitance of the filled space between them is measured. The measured value then is being converted to level.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Level change control&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ====&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;It must be taken into account that at the &#039;&#039;&#039;same&#039;&#039;&#039; level, but &#039;&#039;&#039;different humidity&#039;&#039;&#039;, the sensor shows &#039;&#039;&#039;differnet level&#039;&#039;&#039;. For this reason, the sensor should be &#039;&#039;&#039;used to monitor level dynamics&#039;&#039;&#039; rather than to measure the actual product collected. The change in the filling level graph with changes in the humidity of the measured medium is shown in the graph below.  &amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;[[Файл:Db2 chart examples.png|мини|График измерения показаний ДБ-2 при разной влажности|без|700x700пкс]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The chart is taken from AVTOGRAPH monitoring platform&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is advisable that the combine hopper is always filled to the level where the standard alarm is triggered. With a team scheme of combine harvesters operating on the field, the bunker may not be completely filled until the grain is unloaded. &lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Выбрать место для монтажа, при этом:&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;li&amp;gt;электрод не должен подходить вплотную к шнеку выгрузки из-за возможности засорения шнека и повреждения электрода;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;электрод не должен мешать рабочим прочищать шнек выгрузки;&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;электрод не должен целиком засыпаться зерном при заполнении бункера, т.е. верхнюю часть электрода рекомендуется размещать вблизи угла бункера (надо заметить, что датчик продолжает регистрировать изменение уровня даже при его полном засыпании зерном). Таким образом, электрод не обязан быть вертикально к земле – он должен лишь идти вдоль стенки бункера на одинаковом расстоянии от нее;&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Врезать датчик в стенку бункера вплотную к верхнему краю; &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Соединить коричневый вывод датчика с электродом под винт либо пайкой; &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Место крепления вывода датчика с электродом изолировать термоусадочной трубкой (поз.10); &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Закрепить полученный электрод на изоляторы при помощи стяжек;&amp;lt;/ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

При монтаже в пластиковый бункер требуется дополнительная установка второго электрода (такого же или металлической полосы) параллельно основному на 10 / 13 расстоянии 30 – 60 мм и подключение его к черному выводу датчика (он же общий провод и корпус датчика).&lt;br /&gt;

[[Файл:Db_configurator_overall_view.png|безрамки|500x500пкс]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Файл:DB2 connecting to laptop2.png|мини|Подключение ДБ-2 к компьютеру для настройки]]ВНИМАНИЕ! После включения питания датчика его выход находится в режиме RS-485 в течение 15 сек. Это позволяет подключить для настройки датчик, находящийся в режиме отличном от режима RS-485.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Подключите преобразователь USB-RS485 «Эскорт С-200М2» или аналогичный к компьютеру, а датчик к преобразователю в соответствии с представленной схемой. Не подключайте красный провод.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Примечание. Датчик калибруется после монтажа. Поэтому преобразователь будет удобнее подключить не напрямую к датчику, а через кабель трассу.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Драйвер преобразователя&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Мы рекомендуем использовать преобразователь USB-RS-485 Escort C200M/C200М2 нашего производства, так как мы не можем гарантировать 100% совместимость наших устройства с преобразователями других брендов. При работе с ноутбуком, рекомендуем подключить его к сети питания и/или подключить дополнительный USB кабель в разъем ADD PWR C200M. В ином случае может не хватить питания для работы датчика и преобразователя. Вместе с установкой конфигуратора 1.0.2.38 драйвера на С200М установятся автоматически. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Если вы используете С200М2 на операционных системах windows 10 и 11 драйвера должны установиться автоматически из центра обновления windows, на операционной системе windows 7 и ниже может понадобится [https://remontka.pro/disable-drivers-signature-check-windows-10/ отключение электронной подписи драйверов] и ручная установка [https://www.fmeter.ru/download/_ftp/escort_c-200m/%D0%94%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B9%D0%B2%D0%B5%D1%80%20%D0%B4%D0%BB%D1%8F%20C-200M2.zip?v=150323104902 драйверов на С200М2].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Если драйвер был верно установлен, то после подключение преобразователя к вашему ПК/ноутбуку, вы увидите устройство STMicroelectronics Virtual COM Port (&#039;&#039;&#039;1&#039;&#039;&#039;)(С200М) или USB-SERIAL CH341A (&#039;&#039;&#039;2&#039;&#039;&#039;)(C200М2) в пункте COM и LPT порты диспетчера устройства Windows &amp;quot;для входа в данное меню нажмите &#039;&#039;&#039;win+r&#039;&#039;&#039; и введите &#039;&#039;&#039;devmgmt.msc&#039;&#039;&#039; и нажмите &#039;&#039;&#039;ОК&#039;&#039;&#039;(&#039;&#039;&#039;3&#039;&#039;&#039;) и после раскройте подменю ком портов (&#039;&#039;&#039;4&#039;&#039;&#039;)&amp;quot; Номер ком порта отображаемый в данном меню так же нужен для подключения датчика.&lt;br /&gt;

=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Калибровка датчика&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Файл:Db2_current_readings.png|справа|безрамки|500x500пкс]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ДБ-2 калибруется без сыпучего продукта. Перед калибровкой он должен быть смонтирован на бункере.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Установите минимальное значение при пустом бункере, нажав кнопку &#039;&#039;&#039;Установить Текущий&#039;&#039;&#039; в строке &#039;&#039;&#039;Пустой&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Значение полного следует устанавливать в 9-10 раз больше, чем текущее значение на пустом датчике.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Таким образом, если &#039;&#039;&#039;Текущий&#039;&#039;&#039; равен 4741, то калибровочное значение Полный следует установить 47410. Для этого в [[:Файл:Db2 configurator calibration interface.png#/media/Файл:Db2 configurator calibration interface.png|интерфейсе калибровки]] датчика в строке &#039;&#039;&#039;Полный&#039;&#039;&#039; введите 47410 и нажмите &#039;&#039;&#039;Установить&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Изменение сетевого адреса&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Для того, чтобы изменить сетевой адрес следует нажать кнопку &#039;&#039;&#039;Изменить сетевой адрес.&#039;&#039;&#039; В открывшемся окне введите требуемый адрес (1-255) и нажмите &#039;&#039;&#039;ОК.&#039;&#039;&#039;[[Файл:DB2 network address.png|мини|Изменение сетевого адреса в датчике ДБ-2|без|402x402пкс]]&lt;br /&gt;

=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Тарировка&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
Тарировку емкости с установленным в ней ДБ-2 производить не нужно. Измеряемое значение очень сильно зависит от влажности продукта. Утром, днем и вечером уровень будет различным, поэтому получаемые по тарировке данные будут вводить в заблуждение.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Как перевести датчик в аналоговый режим&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;ДБ-2 в модификации 23 года и новее работает всегда в двух режимах - RS-485 (оранжевый и белый кабели) и аналоговый (зеленый кабель). &#039;&#039;&#039;Отдельно выбирать аналоговый режим не нужно&#039;&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &amp;lt;big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Уровень не доходит до полного при заполненном бункере&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;  Если у вас при наполнении бункера уровень не поднимается до полного - это нормально, если калибровка выполнялась согласно инструкции. Это нужно для того, чтобы наполнение бункера было видно даже, когда продукт имеет высокую влажность. При этом при высокой влажности уровень будет значительно выше.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  Если вы хотите, чтобы у вас на графике было видно заполнение бункера полностью - вы можете прикрепить таблицу тарировки. Возьмите значение датчика, которое наблюдается при наполненном бункере и задайте соответствующее ему значение в тарировочной таблице равное объему полного бункера.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  Но стоит учитывать, что в таком случае при наполнении бункера сырым продуктом уровень может достичь максимума при не полностью заполненном бункере.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &amp;lt;big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Датчик периодически передает ошибку 6500&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;В таком случае следует проверить надежность подключения измерительных контактов датчика к электродам/бункеру.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Значения уровня прыгают вниз&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;В таком случае следует проверить надежность подключения измерительных контактов датчика к электродам/бункеру.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Датчик периодически передаёт ошибку 7000&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Возможно продукт оказался слишком влажным и измеряемое значение оказалось выше калибровочного Полный. Если проблема не исчезает, то проверьте целостность изоляции на электродах&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Показания скачут вверх&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Возможно продукт оказался слишком влажным и измеряемое значение оказалось выше калибровочного Полный. Если проблема не исчезает, то проверьте целостность изоляции на электродах&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

Knowing the level of product in a bunker allows you to solve problems of accounting for seeds, fertilizers, and crops. Monitoring the dynamics of level changes, taking into account the speed of movement and the cultivated area, makes it possible to control the seeding rate/fertilizer application during sowing, and the yield during combining. The bulk materials level sensor (hereinafter referred to as the sensor) is specially designed for use with a transport monitoring system - it is a modified fuel level sensor. For specialized accounting, you can use Agronaut software.&lt;br /&gt;

[[Файл:Db2 measurement principles.png|мини|Принцип измерения датчика ДБ-2]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;OPERATION PRINCIPLES&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
The principle of operation of a capacitive sensor is based on recording changes in the capacity of the built-in capacitor. The high sensitivity of the capacitor allows the sensor to work with bulk solids having different levels of dielectric constant, as well as with dielectric substances. The electrode and the wall of the hopper (or 2 parallel electrodes) form a measuring system of 2 electrodes, in which the capacitance of the filled space between them is measured.

&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Необходимо учитывать, что &#039;&#039;&#039;при одинаковом уровне, но разной влажности датчик выдает разные значения&#039;&#039;&#039;. По этой причине датчик следует использовать &#039;&#039;&#039;для контроля динамики уровня&#039;&#039;&#039;, а не измерения фактически собранного продукта. Изменение графика уровня заполнения при изменении влажности измеряемой среды показано на [[ДБ-2 инструкция#/media/Файл:Db2 chart examples.png|графике]] ниже.  &amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;[[Файл:Db2 chart examples.png|мини|График измерения показаний ДБ-2 при разной влажности|без|700x700пкс]]График взят из программы «АвтоГРАФ»&lt;br /&gt;

Желательно, чтобы бункер комбайна всегда заполнялся до уровня срабатывания штатного сигнализатора. При бригадной схеме работы комбайнов на поле возможно неполное заполнение бункера до момента выгрузки зерна. &lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;li&amp;gt;электрод не должен подходить вплотную к шнеку выгрузки из-за возможности засорения шнека и повреждения электрода;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;электрод не должен мешать рабочим прочищать шнек выгрузки;&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;электрод не должен целиком засыпаться зерном при заполнении бункера, т.е. верхнюю часть электрода рекомендуется размещать вблизи угла бункера (надо заметить, что датчик продолжает регистрировать изменение уровня даже при его полном засыпании зерном). Таким образом, электрод не обязан быть вертикально к земле – он должен лишь идти вдоль стенки бункера на одинаковом расстоянии от нее;&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Врезать датчик в стенку бункера вплотную к верхнему краю; &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Соединить коричневый вывод датчика с электродом под винт либо пайкой; &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Место крепления вывода датчика с электродом изолировать термоусадочной трубкой (поз.10); &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Закрепить полученный электрод на изоляторы при помощи стяжек;&amp;lt;/ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[Файл:Db_configurator_overall_view.png|безрамки|500x500пкс]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Файл:DB2 connecting to laptop2.png|мини|Подключение ДБ-2 к компьютеру для настройки]]ВНИМАНИЕ! После включения питания датчика его выход находится в режиме RS-485 в течение 15 сек. Это позволяет подключить для настройки датчик, находящийся в режиме отличном от режима RS-485.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Подключите преобразователь USB-RS485 «Эскорт С-200М2» или аналогичный к компьютеру, а датчик к преобразователю в соответствии с представленной схемой. Не подключайте красный провод.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Примечание. Датчик калибруется после монтажа. Поэтому преобразователь будет удобнее подключить не напрямую к датчику, а через кабель трассу.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Драйвер преобразователя&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Мы рекомендуем использовать преобразователь USB-RS-485 Escort C200M/C200М2 нашего производства, так как мы не можем гарантировать 100% совместимость наших устройства с преобразователями других брендов. При работе с ноутбуком, рекомендуем подключить его к сети питания и/или подключить дополнительный USB кабель в разъем ADD PWR C200M. В ином случае может не хватить питания для работы датчика и преобразователя. Вместе с установкой конфигуратора 1.0.2.38 драйвера на С200М установятся автоматически. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Если вы используете С200М2 на операционных системах windows 10 и 11 драйвера должны установиться автоматически из центра обновления windows, на операционной системе windows 7 и ниже может понадобится [https://remontka.pro/disable-drivers-signature-check-windows-10/ отключение электронной подписи драйверов] и ручная установка [https://www.fmeter.ru/download/_ftp/escort_c-200m/%D0%94%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B9%D0%B2%D0%B5%D1%80%20%D0%B4%D0%BB%D1%8F%20C-200M2.zip?v=150323104902 драйверов на С200М2].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Если драйвер был верно установлен, то после подключение преобразователя к вашему ПК/ноутбуку, вы увидите устройство STMicroelectronics Virtual COM Port (&#039;&#039;&#039;1&#039;&#039;&#039;)(С200М) или USB-SERIAL CH341A (&#039;&#039;&#039;2&#039;&#039;&#039;)(C200М2) в пункте COM и LPT порты диспетчера устройства Windows &amp;quot;для входа в данное меню нажмите &#039;&#039;&#039;win+r&#039;&#039;&#039; и введите &#039;&#039;&#039;devmgmt.msc&#039;&#039;&#039; и нажмите &#039;&#039;&#039;ОК&#039;&#039;&#039;(&#039;&#039;&#039;3&#039;&#039;&#039;) и после раскройте подменю ком портов (&#039;&#039;&#039;4&#039;&#039;&#039;)&amp;quot; Номер ком порта отображаемый в данном меню так же нужен для подключения датчика.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
ДБ-2 калибруется без сыпучего продукта. Перед калибровкой он должен быть смонтирован на бункере.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Установите минимальное значение при пустом бункере, нажав кнопку &#039;&#039;&#039;Установить Текущий&#039;&#039;&#039; в строке &#039;&#039;&#039;Пустой&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Значение полного следует устанавливать в 9-10 раз больше, чем текущее значение на пустом датчике.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Таким образом, если &#039;&#039;&#039;Текущий&#039;&#039;&#039; равен 4741, то калибровочное значение Полный следует установить 47410. Для этого в [[:Файл:Db2 configurator calibration interface.png#/media/Файл:Db2 configurator calibration interface.png|интерфейсе калибровки]] датчика в строке &#039;&#039;&#039;Полный&#039;&#039;&#039; введите 47410 и нажмите &#039;&#039;&#039;Установить&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Изменение сетевого адреса&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Для того, чтобы изменить сетевой адрес следует нажать кнопку &#039;&#039;&#039;Изменить сетевой адрес.&#039;&#039;&#039; В открывшемся окне введите требуемый адрес (1-255) и нажмите &#039;&#039;&#039;ОК.&#039;&#039;&#039;[[Файл:DB2 network address.png|мини|Изменение сетевого адреса в датчике ДБ-2|без|402x402пкс]]&lt;br /&gt;

=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Тарировка&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
Тарировку емкости с установленным в ней ДБ-2 производить не нужно. Измеряемое значение очень сильно зависит от влажности продукта. Утром, днем и вечером уровень будет различным, поэтому получаемые по тарировке данные будут вводить в заблуждение.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Как перевести датчик в аналоговый режим&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;ДБ-2 в модификации 23 года и новее работает всегда в двух режимах - RS-485 (оранжевый и белый кабели) и аналоговый (зеленый кабель). &#039;&#039;&#039;Отдельно выбирать аналоговый режим не нужно&#039;&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &amp;lt;big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Уровень не доходит до полного при заполненном бункере&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;  Если у вас при наполнении бункера уровень не поднимается до полного - это нормально, если калибровка выполнялась согласно инструкции. Это нужно для того, чтобы наполнение бункера было видно даже, когда продукт имеет высокую влажность. При этом при высокой влажности уровень будет значительно выше.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  Если вы хотите, чтобы у вас на графике было видно заполнение бункера полностью - вы можете прикрепить таблицу тарировки. Возьмите значение датчика, которое наблюдается при наполненном бункере и задайте соответствующее ему значение в тарировочной таблице равное объему полного бункера.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  Но стоит учитывать, что в таком случае при наполнении бункера сырым продуктом уровень может достичь максимума при не полностью заполненном бункере.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &amp;lt;big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Датчик периодически передает ошибку 6500&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;В таком случае следует проверить надежность подключения измерительных контактов датчика к электродам/бункеру.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Значения уровня прыгают вниз&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;В таком случае следует проверить надежность подключения измерительных контактов датчика к электродам/бункеру.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Датчик периодически передаёт ошибку 7000&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Возможно продукт оказался слишком влажным и измеряемое значение оказалось выше калибровочного Полный. Если проблема не исчезает, то проверьте целостность изоляции на электродах&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Показания скачут вверх&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;

Knowing the level of product in a bunker allows you to solve problems of accounting for seeds, fertilizers, and crops. Monitoring the dynamics of level changes, taking into account the speed of movement and the cultivated area, makes it possible to control the seeding rate/fertilizer application during sowing, and the yield during combining. The bulk materials level sensor (hereinafter referred to as the sensor) is specially designed for use with a transport monitoring system - it is a modified fuel level sensor. For specialized accounting, you can use Agronaut software.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;ПРИНЦИП РАБОТЫ&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
Принцип работы емкостного датчика строится на фиксации изменений емкости встроенного конденсатора. Высокая чувствительность конденсатора позволяет емкостному датчику уровня работать с сыпучими веществами, имеющими различный уровень диэлектрической проницаемости, а также с веществами-диэлектриками. Электрод и стенка бункера (или 2 параллельных электрода) образуют измерительную систему из 2-х электродов, в которой измеряется емкость заполненного пространства между ними, зависящая от диэлектрической проницаемости измеряемой среды.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Контроль динамики уровня&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ====&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Необходимо учитывать, что &#039;&#039;&#039;при одинаковом уровне, но разной влажности датчик выдает разные значения&#039;&#039;&#039;. По этой причине датчик следует использовать &#039;&#039;&#039;для контроля динамики уровня&#039;&#039;&#039;, а не измерения фактически собранного продукта. Изменение графика уровня заполнения при изменении влажности измеряемой среды показано на [[ДБ-2 инструкция#/media/Файл:Db2 chart examples.png|графике]] ниже.  &amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;[[Файл:Db2 chart examples.png|мини|График измерения показаний ДБ-2 при разной влажности|без|700x700пкс]]График взят из программы «АвтоГРАФ»&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Желательно, чтобы бункер комбайна всегда заполнялся до уровня срабатывания штатного сигнализатора. При бригадной схеме работы комбайнов на поле возможно неполное заполнение бункера до момента выгрузки зерна. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

[[Файл:DB2 installation.png|мини|500x500пкс|Схема монтажа датчика]][https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-bPSv1mriM&amp;amp;t=1s Ссылка на видео-инструкцию по монтажу датчика]&amp;lt;ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Выбрать место для монтажа, при этом:&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;li&amp;gt;электрод не должен подходить вплотную к шнеку выгрузки из-за возможности засорения шнека и повреждения электрода;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;электрод не должен мешать рабочим прочищать шнек выгрузки;&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;электрод не должен целиком засыпаться зерном при заполнении бункера, т.е. верхнюю часть электрода рекомендуется размещать вблизи угла бункера (надо заметить, что датчик продолжает регистрировать изменение уровня даже при его полном засыпании зерном). Таким образом, электрод не обязан быть вертикально к земле – он должен лишь идти вдоль стенки бункера на одинаковом расстоянии от нее;&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Врезать датчик в стенку бункера вплотную к верхнему краю; &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Соединить коричневый вывод датчика с электродом под винт либо пайкой; &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Место крепления вывода датчика с электродом изолировать термоусадочной трубкой (поз.10); &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Закрепить полученный электрод на изоляторы при помощи стяжек;&amp;lt;/ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

При монтаже в пластиковый бункер требуется дополнительная установка второго электрода (такого же или металлической полосы) параллельно основному на 10 / 13 расстоянии 30 – 60 мм и подключение его к черному выводу датчика (он же общий провод и корпус датчика).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
[[Файл:Db_configurator_overall_view.png|безрамки|500x500пкс]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Файл:DB2 connecting to laptop2.png|мини|Подключение ДБ-2 к компьютеру для настройки]]ВНИМАНИЕ! После включения питания датчика его выход находится в режиме RS-485 в течение 15 сек. Это позволяет подключить для настройки датчик, находящийся в режиме отличном от режима RS-485.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Подключите преобразователь USB-RS485 «Эскорт С-200М2» или аналогичный к компьютеру, а датчик к преобразователю в соответствии с представленной схемой. Не подключайте красный провод.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Примечание. Датчик калибруется после монтажа. Поэтому преобразователь будет удобнее подключить не напрямую к датчику, а через кабель трассу.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Драйвер преобразователя&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Мы рекомендуем использовать преобразователь USB-RS-485 Escort C200M/C200М2 нашего производства, так как мы не можем гарантировать 100% совместимость наших устройства с преобразователями других брендов. При работе с ноутбуком, рекомендуем подключить его к сети питания и/или подключить дополнительный USB кабель в разъем ADD PWR C200M. В ином случае может не хватить питания для работы датчика и преобразователя. Вместе с установкой конфигуратора 1.0.2.38 драйвера на С200М установятся автоматически. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Если вы используете С200М2 на операционных системах windows 10 и 11 драйвера должны установиться автоматически из центра обновления windows, на операционной системе windows 7 и ниже может понадобится [https://remontka.pro/disable-drivers-signature-check-windows-10/ отключение электронной подписи драйверов] и ручная установка [https://www.fmeter.ru/download/_ftp/escort_c-200m/%D0%94%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B9%D0%B2%D0%B5%D1%80%20%D0%B4%D0%BB%D1%8F%20C-200M2.zip?v=150323104902 драйверов на С200М2].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Если драйвер был верно установлен, то после подключение преобразователя к вашему ПК/ноутбуку, вы увидите устройство STMicroelectronics Virtual COM Port (&#039;&#039;&#039;1&#039;&#039;&#039;)(С200М) или USB-SERIAL CH341A (&#039;&#039;&#039;2&#039;&#039;&#039;)(C200М2) в пункте COM и LPT порты диспетчера устройства Windows &amp;quot;для входа в данное меню нажмите &#039;&#039;&#039;win+r&#039;&#039;&#039; и введите &#039;&#039;&#039;devmgmt.msc&#039;&#039;&#039; и нажмите &#039;&#039;&#039;ОК&#039;&#039;&#039;(&#039;&#039;&#039;3&#039;&#039;&#039;) и после раскройте подменю ком портов (&#039;&#039;&#039;4&#039;&#039;&#039;)&amp;quot; Номер ком порта отображаемый в данном меню так же нужен для подключения датчика.&lt;br /&gt;

=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Калибровка датчика&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Файл:Db2_current_readings.png|справа|безрамки|500x500пкс]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ДБ-2 калибруется без сыпучего продукта. Перед калибровкой он должен быть смонтирован на бункере.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Установите минимальное значение при пустом бункере, нажав кнопку &#039;&#039;&#039;Установить Текущий&#039;&#039;&#039; в строке &#039;&#039;&#039;Пустой&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Значение полного следует устанавливать в 9-10 раз больше, чем текущее значение на пустом датчике.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Таким образом, если &#039;&#039;&#039;Текущий&#039;&#039;&#039; равен 4741, то калибровочное значение Полный следует установить 47410. Для этого в [[:Файл:Db2 configurator calibration interface.png#/media/Файл:Db2 configurator calibration interface.png|интерфейсе калибровки]] датчика в строке &#039;&#039;&#039;Полный&#039;&#039;&#039; введите 47410 и нажмите &#039;&#039;&#039;Установить&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Изменение сетевого адреса&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Для того, чтобы изменить сетевой адрес следует нажать кнопку &#039;&#039;&#039;Изменить сетевой адрес.&#039;&#039;&#039; В открывшемся окне введите требуемый адрес (1-255) и нажмите &#039;&#039;&#039;ОК.&#039;&#039;&#039;[[Файл:DB2 network address.png|мини|Изменение сетевого адреса в датчике ДБ-2|без|402x402пкс]]&lt;br /&gt;

=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Тарировка&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
Тарировку емкости с установленным в ней ДБ-2 производить не нужно. Измеряемое значение очень сильно зависит от влажности продукта. Утром, днем и вечером уровень будет различным, поэтому получаемые по тарировке данные будут вводить в заблуждение.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Как перевести датчик в аналоговый режим&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;ДБ-2 в модификации 23 года и новее работает всегда в двух режимах - RS-485 (оранжевый и белый кабели) и аналоговый (зеленый кабель). &#039;&#039;&#039;Отдельно выбирать аналоговый режим не нужно&#039;&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &amp;lt;big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Уровень не доходит до полного при заполненном бункере&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;  Если у вас при наполнении бункера уровень не поднимается до полного - это нормально, если калибровка выполнялась согласно инструкции. Это нужно для того, чтобы наполнение бункера было видно даже, когда продукт имеет высокую влажность. При этом при высокой влажности уровень будет значительно выше.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  Если вы хотите, чтобы у вас на графике было видно заполнение бункера полностью - вы можете прикрепить таблицу тарировки. Возьмите значение датчика, которое наблюдается при наполненном бункере и задайте соответствующее ему значение в тарировочной таблице равное объему полного бункера.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  Но стоит учитывать, что в таком случае при наполнении бункера сырым продуктом уровень может достичь максимума при не полностью заполненном бункере.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &amp;lt;big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Датчик периодически передает ошибку 6500&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;В таком случае следует проверить надежность подключения измерительных контактов датчика к электродам/бункеру.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Значения уровня прыгают вниз&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;В таком случае следует проверить надежность подключения измерительных контактов датчика к электродам/бункеру.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Датчик периодически передаёт ошибку 7000&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Возможно продукт оказался слишком влажным и измеряемое значение оказалось выше калибровочного Полный. Если проблема не исчезает, то проверьте целостность изоляции на электродах&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Показания скачут вверх&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Возможно продукт оказался слишком влажным и измеряемое значение оказалось выше калибровочного Полный. Если проблема не исчезает, то проверьте целостность изоляции на электродах&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

Знание уровня продукта в бункере позволяет решать задачи учета семян, удобрений, урожая. Наблюдение за динамикой изменения уровня с учетом скорости движения и обработанной площади дает возможность контролировать норму высева/внесения удобрений при севе, урожайность при комбайнировании. Датчик уровня сыпучих материалов (далее - датчик) специально разработан для применения с системой мониторинга транспорта – представляет собой модифицированный датчик уровня топлива. Для специализированного учета можно применять программное обеспечение «Агронавт».&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;ПРИНЦИП РАБОТЫ&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
Принцип работы емкостного датчика строится на фиксации изменений емкости встроенного конденсатора. Высокая чувствительность конденсатора позволяет емкостному датчику уровня работать с сыпучими веществами, имеющими различный уровень диэлектрической проницаемости, а также с веществами-диэлектриками. Электрод и стенка бункера (или 2 параллельных электрода) образуют измерительную систему из 2-х электродов, в которой измеряется емкость заполненного пространства между ними, зависящая от диэлектрической проницаемости измеряемой среды.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Контроль динамики уровня&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ====&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Необходимо учитывать, что &#039;&#039;&#039;при одинаковом уровне, но разной влажности датчик выдает разные значения&#039;&#039;&#039;. По этой причине датчик следует использовать &#039;&#039;&#039;для контроля динамики уровня&#039;&#039;&#039;, а не измерения фактически собранного продукта. Изменение графика уровня заполнения при изменении влажности измеряемой среды показано на [[ДБ-2 инструкция#/media/Файл:Db2 chart examples.png|графике]] ниже.  &amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;[[Файл:Db2 chart examples.png|мини|График измерения показаний ДБ-2 при разной влажности|без|700x700пкс]]График взят из программы «АвтоГРАФ»&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Желательно, чтобы бункер комбайна всегда заполнялся до уровня срабатывания штатного сигнализатора. При бригадной схеме работы комбайнов на поле возможно неполное заполнение бункера до момента выгрузки зерна. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

[[Файл:DB2 installation.png|мини|500x500пкс|Схема монтажа датчика]][https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-bPSv1mriM&amp;amp;t=1s Ссылка на видео-инструкцию по монтажу датчика]&amp;lt;ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Выбрать место для монтажа, при этом:&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;li&amp;gt;электрод не должен подходить вплотную к шнеку выгрузки из-за возможности засорения шнека и повреждения электрода;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;электрод не должен мешать рабочим прочищать шнек выгрузки;&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;электрод не должен целиком засыпаться зерном при заполнении бункера, т.е. верхнюю часть электрода рекомендуется размещать вблизи угла бункера (надо заметить, что датчик продолжает регистрировать изменение уровня даже при его полном засыпании зерном). Таким образом, электрод не обязан быть вертикально к земле – он должен лишь идти вдоль стенки бункера на одинаковом расстоянии от нее;&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Врезать датчик в стенку бункера вплотную к верхнему краю; &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Соединить коричневый вывод датчика с электродом под винт либо пайкой; &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Место крепления вывода датчика с электродом изолировать термоусадочной трубкой (поз.10); &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Закрепить полученный электрод на изоляторы при помощи стяжек;&amp;lt;/ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

При монтаже в пластиковый бункер требуется дополнительная установка второго электрода (такого же или металлической полосы) параллельно основному на 10 / 13 расстоянии 30 – 60 мм и подключение его к черному выводу датчика (он же общий провод и корпус датчика).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
[[Файл:Db_configurator_overall_view.png|безрамки|500x500пкс]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Файл:DB2 connecting to laptop2.png|мини|Подключение ДБ-2 к компьютеру для настройки]]ВНИМАНИЕ! После включения питания датчика его выход находится в режиме RS-485 в течение 15 сек. Это позволяет подключить для настройки датчик, находящийся в режиме отличном от режима RS-485.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Подключите преобразователь USB-RS485 «Эскорт С-200М2» или аналогичный к компьютеру, а датчик к преобразователю в соответствии с представленной схемой. Не подключайте красный провод.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Примечание. Датчик калибруется после монтажа. Поэтому преобразователь будет удобнее подключить не напрямую к датчику, а через кабель трассу.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Драйвер преобразователя&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Мы рекомендуем использовать преобразователь USB-RS-485 Escort C200M/C200М2 нашего производства, так как мы не можем гарантировать 100% совместимость наших устройства с преобразователями других брендов. При работе с ноутбуком, рекомендуем подключить его к сети питания и/или подключить дополнительный USB кабель в разъем ADD PWR C200M. В ином случае может не хватить питания для работы датчика и преобразователя. Вместе с установкой конфигуратора 1.0.2.38 драйвера на С200М установятся автоматически. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Если вы используете С200М2 на операционных системах windows 10 и 11 драйвера должны установиться автоматически из центра обновления windows, на операционной системе windows 7 и ниже может понадобится [https://remontka.pro/disable-drivers-signature-check-windows-10/ отключение электронной подписи драйверов] и ручная установка [https://www.fmeter.ru/download/_ftp/escort_c-200m/%D0%94%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B9%D0%B2%D0%B5%D1%80%20%D0%B4%D0%BB%D1%8F%20C-200M2.zip?v=150323104902 драйверов на С200М2].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Если драйвер был верно установлен, то после подключение преобразователя к вашему ПК/ноутбуку, вы увидите устройство STMicroelectronics Virtual COM Port (&#039;&#039;&#039;1&#039;&#039;&#039;)(С200М) или USB-SERIAL CH341A (&#039;&#039;&#039;2&#039;&#039;&#039;)(C200М2) в пункте COM и LPT порты диспетчера устройства Windows &amp;quot;для входа в данное меню нажмите &#039;&#039;&#039;win+r&#039;&#039;&#039; и введите &#039;&#039;&#039;devmgmt.msc&#039;&#039;&#039; и нажмите &#039;&#039;&#039;ОК&#039;&#039;&#039;(&#039;&#039;&#039;3&#039;&#039;&#039;) и после раскройте подменю ком портов (&#039;&#039;&#039;4&#039;&#039;&#039;)&amp;quot; Номер ком порта отображаемый в данном меню так же нужен для подключения датчика.&lt;br /&gt;

# Выберете соответствующий порт и нажмите кнопку «&#039;&#039;&#039;Открыть порт&#039;&#039;&#039;» в окне программы «Конфигуратор TД500». Включите питание датчика, подключив красный кабель.&lt;br /&gt;

=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Калибровка датчика&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Файл:Db2_current_readings.png|справа|безрамки|500x500пкс]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ДБ-2 калибруется без сыпучего продукта. Перед калибровкой он должен быть смонтирован на бункере.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Установите минимальное значение при пустом бункере, нажав кнопку &#039;&#039;&#039;Установить Текущий&#039;&#039;&#039; в строке &#039;&#039;&#039;Пустой&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Значение полного следует устанавливать в 9-10 раз больше, чем текущее значение на пустом датчике.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Таким образом, если &#039;&#039;&#039;Текущий&#039;&#039;&#039; равен 4741, то калибровочное значение Полный следует установить 47410. Для этого в [[:Файл:Db2 configurator calibration interface.png#/media/Файл:Db2 configurator calibration interface.png|интерфейсе калибровки]] датчика в строке &#039;&#039;&#039;Полный&#039;&#039;&#039; введите 47410 и нажмите &#039;&#039;&#039;Установить&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Изменение сетевого адреса&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Для того, чтобы изменить сетевой адрес следует нажать кнопку &#039;&#039;&#039;Изменить сетевой адрес.&#039;&#039;&#039; В открывшемся окне введите требуемый адрес (1-255) и нажмите &#039;&#039;&#039;ОК.&#039;&#039;&#039;[[Файл:DB2 network address.png|мини|Изменение сетевого адреса в датчике ДБ-2|без|402x402пкс]]&lt;br /&gt;

=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Тарировка&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
Тарировку емкости с установленным в ней ДБ-2 производить не нужно. Измеряемое значение очень сильно зависит от влажности продукта. Утром, днем и вечером уровень будет различным, поэтому получаемые по тарировке данные будут вводить в заблуждение.&lt;br /&gt;

Подключение питания необходимо производить в кабине. Схемы подключения представлены ниже.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
К терминалам датчика подключается аналогично датчикам уровня топлива - по сетевому адресу.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Как перевести датчик в аналоговый режим&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;ДБ-2 в модификации 23 года и новее работает всегда в двух режимах - RS-485 (оранжевый и белый кабели) и аналоговый (зеленый кабель). &#039;&#039;&#039;Отдельно выбирать аналоговый режим не нужно&#039;&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &amp;lt;big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Уровень не доходит до полного при заполненном бункере&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;  Если у вас при наполнении бункера уровень не поднимается до полного - это нормально, если калибровка выполнялась согласно инструкции. Это нужно для того, чтобы наполнение бункера было видно даже, когда продукт имеет высокую влажность. При этом при высокой влажности уровень будет значительно выше.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  Если вы хотите, чтобы у вас на графике было видно заполнение бункера полностью - вы можете прикрепить таблицу тарировки. Возьмите значение датчика, которое наблюдается при наполненном бункере и задайте соответствующее ему значение в тарировочной таблице равное объему полного бункера.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  Но стоит учитывать, что в таком случае при наполнении бункера сырым продуктом уровень может достичь максимума при не полностью заполненном бункере.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &amp;lt;big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Датчик периодически передает ошибку 6500&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;В таком случае следует проверить надежность подключения измерительных контактов датчика к электродам/бункеру.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Значения уровня прыгают вниз&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;В таком случае следует проверить надежность подключения измерительных контактов датчика к электродам/бункеру.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Датчик периодически передаёт ошибку 7000&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Возможно продукт оказался слишком влажным и измеряемое значение оказалось выше калибровочного Полный. Если проблема не исчезает, то проверьте целостность изоляции на электродах&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;Показания скачут вверх&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Возможно продукт оказался слишком влажным и измеряемое значение оказалось выше калибровочного Полный. Если проблема не исчезает, то проверьте целостность изоляции на электродах&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
