VEGAPULS 56 Profibus PA 45
Setup
Configuration and parameter adjust-
ment
During setup of the sensor you will be con-
fronted with two terms: "Configuration“ and
"Parameter adjustment“. The meas. system is
first set up with a configuration and then with
a parameter adjustment.
Configuration
The term "Configuration“ means the basic
adjustments of the meas. system. You inform
the meas. system about the application (level
measurement, gauge, distance …), the
measurement loop name and the DCS output
address of the sensors. The configuration
corresponds to an electronic wiring and
labelling of your sensor or, in other words,
telling the system which sensor for what
application and where.
Parameter adjustment
After the configuration, you carry out the
parameter adjustment for each individual
sensor. This means adjusting the sensors to
the respective operating range and to the
actual application. You inform the sensor
which product distance (which level) is
"empty“ and which "full“. This is called adjust-
ment. Here you choose in which physical
quantity (volume, mass) and unit of measure-
ment (m
3 , gal, liters …) the adjusted meas-
ured value should be outputted. In the
submenu "Sensor optimisation“ you inform
the sensor electronics about the actual envi-
ronment, such as e.g. quick changes of the
measured value, foam generation, gas strati-
fication, solid or liquid state of the medium.
Before starting the setup:
Do not be confused by the many pictures,
adjustment steps and menus on the following
pages. Just carry out the setup with the PC
step by step and you will soon no longer
need the following pages.
Actions, like entering a value or making a
choice, are indicated in the following by a
large black dot, like this:
• Choose …
• Start …
• Click to …
By this convention, the actions to be carried
out are clearly separated from supplemen-
tary information in the following adjustment
instructions.
Note:
By default, the adjustment software VVO
uses address 10 when operating via the PA
interface card on the PA bus as Master-Class
2. If on your bus address 10 is already as-
signed, enter a free address (description on
the next page) before connecting the PC to
the bus.
• Now start the adjustment software VVO on
your PC.
• Choose with the arrow keys or the mouse
the item "Planning“ on the entrance screen
and click to "OK
OK OK OK OK“.
You are asked for user identification.
• Enter under name "VEGA VEGA VEGA VEGA VEGA“.
• Also enter "VEGA VEGA VEGA VEGA VEGA“ under password.
