3.2 Principle of operation
VEGACONNECT 4 is an interface converter for connection of
communication-capable VEGA instruments to the USB interface of a
PC. It can also be used as a universal HART modem for sensors from
other manufacturers. An adjustment software such as PACTware with
VEGA DTMs is required for parameter adjustment of these instru-
ments.
VEGACONNECT 4 can be connected to the following VEGA instru-
ments. All currently available electronics versions are supported
(HART, Profibus PA, Foundation Fieldbus). When instruments from
the plics
®
series are used, VEGACONNECT 4 can be inserted directly
into the respective instrument.
l VEGAPULS radar sensors
l VEGASON ultrasonic sensors
l VEGAFLEX guided microwave
l VEGABAR process pressure transmitter
l Pressure transmitter D series
l Capacitive electrode EL/EK
l VEGADIS indicating instruments
l VEGAMET signal conditioning instruments
l Wireless Gateways PLICSRADIO
Connection cable, adapter and terminals for connection to the different
instrument series are attached to all VEGACONNECT 4. These
adapters can be kept in the storage space of the connection box.
The VEGACONNECT 4 interface converter is connected via the USB
connection to a PC. It converts the signals and protocols of the USB
interface into the corresponding signal/protocol of the connected
instrument. The following systems are supported:
l
4 … 20 mA with superimposed HART protocol
l Profibus PA via I²C protocol
l Foundation Fieldbus via I²C protocol
Voltage supply of VEGACONNECT 4 is provided via the USB interface
of the PC.
Detailed information about the power supply can be found in chapter
"T
echnical data".
