6 Functional safety (SIL)

VEGAFLEX 83 • 4 … 20 mA/HART two-wire

44225-EN-130823

All parameters changed by the operator are automatically stored

temporarily so that they can be verified in the next step.

After setup, the modified parameters must be verified (confirm the

correctness of the parameters). To do this, you first have to enter the

PIN. Here the adjustment is locked automatically. Then you carry

out a comparison of two character strings. You must confirm that the

character strings are identical. This is used to check the character

presentation.
Then you confirm that the serial number of your instrument has been

carried over correctly. This is used to check device communication.
Then, all modified parameters that have to be confirmed are listed. Af-

ter this process is terminated, the safety function is again guaranteed.

Warning:

If the described process was not carried out completely or correctly

(e.g. interruption or voltage loss), the instrument remains in the

released and hence unsafe status.

Warning:

In case of a reset to basic settings, all safety-relevant parameters will

also be reset to default. Therefore all safety-relevant parameters must

be checked or readjusted.

6.5 Setup process

Adjustment process

A parameter change with SIL qualified instruments must always be

carried out as follows.

Release adjustment

Change parameter

Lock adjustment and verify modified parameters

The setup must be carried out according to an exactly specified pat-

tern.
Generally the instrument is in safe operating condition before the

adjustment is released.

Each parameter change requires the release of the instrument

through a PIN (see chapter "Setup steps - Lock adjustment").
In delivery status, the PIN is 0000.

Set up the VEGAFLEX 83 according to the specification in this oper-

ating instructions and the Safety Manual.

When locking the adjustment, the instrument checks the data of the

measurement loop and decides on the basis of the evaluation results

if a function test is required.
Function test not required

If the parameter check was successful, the adjustment is locked auto-

matically and the instrument is again in safe operating condition.
