Configuration means to coordinate or deter-
mine once. In the menu Configuration the
signal conditioning instrument is informed
about the general configuration:
- which kind of sensor is connected (radar,
ultrasonic, process pressure…),
- what kind of parameter or application is
concerned (level, gauge, distance…)
- to which input the sensor is connected
- which outputs (current, voltage, relay, fault
signals, indication…) should be coordi-
nated to which input in which way (in-
verted, threshold value controlled…).
After these adjustments (configuration) had
been carried out, the meas. system goes to
operating condition and the signal condition-
ing instrument will display a measured value.
Now the sensor parameter adjustment (ad-
justment, unit, linearisation curve, sensor
adaption…) can be carried out.
Parameter adjustment means to enter values.
Parameters are entered in the signal condi-
tioning instrument as well as in the connected
sensors. For example:
- Min. and max. adjustment
- Meas. range limits
- Physical unit, decimal point
- Linearisation curves
- Integration time
- Meas. environment (solid, liquid,
foam generation, operating range…)
- False echo memory
- Inversion of the measured value etc.
Now all required adjustments for a precisely
adapted sensor are carried out for a reliable
measurement.
Set-up - Adjustment with PC on VEGAMET
6.2 Adjustment with PC on
VEGAMET
The PC with the adjustment program VVO
(VEGA Visual Operating) can be connected:
- to the sensor
- to the signal line
- to the signal conditioning instrument
VEGAMET 514V/515V
- to the processing system VEGALOG 571
For connection of a PC to a signal condition-
ing instrument you require the interface
adapter VEGACONNECT 2. The PC commu-
nicates via the interface adapter
VEGACONNECT 2 with the signal condition-
ing instrument and the sensor.
Hence a digital adjustment signal is superim-
posed to the signal and supply line between
sensor and signal conditioning instrument. In
chapter "2.2 Configuration of measuring sys-
tems" the connection of the PC in different
coordinations is shown.
Before starting the set-up:
Take some time to carry out the set-up step-
by-step with the PC and soon you will no
more require the following pages.
In any case you are requested to enter or
enquire something, this is marked in the
following with a dot, such as e.g.:
• Choose …
• Start …
• Click to …
Now start to
• connect the standard plug of
VEGACONNECT 2 (9-pole) with the inter-
face COM 1 or COM 2 of your PC.
