5 Diagnostics
5.1 Simulation
To simulate a certain filling, you can call up
the function "Simulation" on the adjustment
module MINICOM or in the software VVO
program.
You simulate a certain measured value and
thereby a certain sensor current. Please note
that connected instruments, such as e.g. a
PLC, react according to their adjustments
and will probably activate alarms or system
functions.
Simulation with VVO
If you start the simulation mode with the ad-
justment program VVO on the PC, the simu-
lated level is outputted until you quit the
simulation mode.
Simulation with MINICOM
If you start the simulation mode on the adjust-
ment module MINICOM, the sensor returns
to standard operating mode after one hour.

5.2 Function diagram
The following function diagram is used for
setup with the automation system, if there is
no adjustment software available. Make sure
that all VEGA sensors are profile 3 sensors.
In general, the setup of the sensors can be
carried out very conveniently with the VEGA
adjustment software VVO or with the adjust-
ment module MINICOM in the sensor.
The function diagram is generally not neces-
sary for setup and is used only to deepen
the knowledge of the interested user who is
able to read in the sensor measured values
into the processing system (also without
adjustment tool).
