Application

The Commulog VU 260 Z handheld
terminal is designed for remote
configuration of:

Endress+Hauser smart transmitters
Commutec transmitters

Features and Benefits

• Simple keyboard with colour-coded

pushbuttons means quick
configuration and immediate access
to measured values - on-site or
remotely from the control room.

• Easy-to-use thanks to

Endress+Hauser matrix

• Large liquid crystal display, with 4

lines of 20 characters, gives plain text
information on measurement.

• Diagnosis on fault condition allows

source to be quickly located and
rectified.

• Bar graph displays measurement as
4…20 mA analogue value.

• Light splash-proof housing and
battery operation make field use no
problem!

• Certified for use in explosion
hazardous areas Zone 1.

Nothing beats know-how

Configuration

Commutec transmitters are configured
or interrogated on-line by simply
plugging the Commulog VU 260 Z into
the two sockets provided. Immediately
to hand in plain text are:

• measured values,

• transmitter configuration,

• diagnostics on fault condition.

If a ZA 67x computer interface is in use
the transmitter must first be switched to
Commulog mode. After reconfiguration,
dialogue is resumed with the new
parameters.

Endress+Hauser - Matrix

Process data are viewed by selecting
the appropriate field in a parameter
matrix. The same matrix is used no
matter whether parameters are keyed
in, read in by the Commulog or read in
via the ZA 670/ZA 672 computer
interface.

• The principle measured value is

always located in field 00.

Commutec Transmitters

The Commulog VU 260 Z is compatible
with existing Commutec transmitters

Level measurement:
Silometer FMB 671 Z...677 Z,
Silometer FMC 671 Z...677 Z,
Nivosonic FMU 671 Z...678 Z.
Pressure measurement
Commutec PMX 671 Z...677 Z.
Temperature measurement
Omnigrad TMT 2371…2377.
Others in preparation.

• Each row in the matrix is allocated to a

specific function, e.g. calibration,
4…20 mA signal, limit values etc..

• The same matrix structure is used for

all transmitters, so that the user,
having configured one, can quickly
program others of a different type.

Commulog VU 260 Z
communicates directly
with Commutec
transmitters without
interrupting measurement
