If the gauge is used with an INFICON VGC40x controller, a corresponding sensor
cable is required (
→ [3]). The sensor cable permits supplying the gauge with
power, transmitting measurement values and gauge statuses, and making pa-
rameter settings.
Caution
Caution: data transmission errors
If the gauge is operated with the INFICON VGC40x Vacuum Gauge
Controller (RS232C) and a fieldbus interface at the same time, data
transmission errors may occur.
The gauge must not be operated with an INFICON VGC40x controller
and DeviceNet or Profibus at the same time.
• Sensor cable (→ [3]), INFICON sales literature)
Plug the sensor connector into the gauge and secure it with the locking
screws.
Connect the other end of the sensor cable to the INFICON controller and
secure it.
The gauge can also be operated with other controllers.
Especially the fieldbus versions BPG402-SD (DeviceNet) and BPG402-SP
(Profibus) are usually operated as part of a network, controlled by a master or bus
controller. In such cases, the control system has to be operated with the appropri-
ate software and communication protocol (
→ [1], [2]).
