5.1 Adjustment media
In chapter "1.4 Adjustment“ the Profibus
adjustment structure was briefly explained
and the adjustment media for VEGA Profibus
sensors were shown. All VEGA Profibus
sensors operate in profile 3 and can be ad-
justed with:
- the adjustment program VVO on a PC with
Profibus card
- the adjustment program PACTware TM , under
which VVO runs as a subprogram
- the Siemens software PDM in conjunction
with an EDD (Electronic-Device-Descrip-
tion)
- the adjustment module MINICOM in the
sensor.
Adjustment with VVO on the PC
The adjustment program VVO enables user-
friendly adjustment of VEGA Profibus PA
sensors. All functions and options of sensor
adjustment are accessible. The program
runs under Windows
® on a PC with a
Profibus-Master-Class 2 interface card on
Profibus DP level as Master-Class 2 tool. The
VVO program accesses the VEGA PA sen-
sors via the DP bus, the segment coupler
and the PA bus.
Note:
Keep in mind that for adjustment with VVO,
version 2.70 or higher is necessary.
Adjustment with PACTware TM
The adjustment with PACTware TM corre-
sponds to VVO adjustment, in this case, VVO
runs as a subprogram of PACTware
TM . The
adjustment instructions can be found in the
documentation of PACTware
TM .
Adjustment with PDM
The sensors can be adjusted completely with
PDM. However, some convenient functions
and many special features, like e.g. display
of an echo curve, are not available. In addi-
tion to the PDM software, an EDD (upon
request available from VEGA) is required for
each sensor type. The adjustment instruc-
tions for PDM are described in the PDM
documentation.
Adjustment with the adjustment module
MINICOM
With the adjustment module MINICOM, you
adjust the individual sensor directly in the
sensor or in the external indicating instrument
VEGADIS 50. The adjustment module
MINICOM enables (with the 6-key adjustment
field with text display) all essential functions
of parameter setting and adjustment.
