1.1 Function and configuration
The VEGABAR 24 process pressure transmitters are efficient instruments for process
pressure measurement. The dry CERTEC
ceramic-capacitive measuring cell is used as
a pressure sensor element. The process
pressure causes a capacitance change
within the measuring cell via the diaphragm.
This capacitance change is detected by an
ASIC (application specific integrated circuit)
and converted into a pressure proportional
signal by an integral oscillator with microcomputer. Precise digital processing of measured data with highest resolution ensures
excellent technical data.
The oscillator is powered by a separate
VEGA-signal conditioning instrument, a stabilised power supply unit or a PLC (active
input). After adjustment, a standardised
current signal of 4 … 20 mA is available
which can be displayed (e.g. in PLC-systems) or further processed.
For versions are available for adjustment:
- adjustment module directly on VEGABAR
- adjustment module in external housing
(VEGADIS 10)
- via PC with adjustment software (see
manual “VEGA Visual Operating (VVO)“)
- in the control room on the signal conditioning instrument

1.2 Self-monitoring
Important electronic components are
checked for their function, while internal parameters, such as sensor value, temperature
and operating voltage, are monitored to increase reliability.
VEGABAR 20 with the ceramic CERTEC®measuring cell offers the advantage of continuous self-monitoring. The measuring and
reference capacitances of the measuring cell
are in a defined ratio over the complete
measuring range. Any deviation from these
data is a reliable indicator for a malfunction of
the measuring cell.
If failures or malfunctions are detected during
these routines, a fault signal is triggered via
the 4 … 20 mA-output (current jump to
3,6 mA or 22 mA).

CE-conformity
VEGABAR 24 meets the requirements of EMC (89/336/EWG) and NSR (73/23/EWG). The
conformity has been judged acc. to the following standards
EMC Emission EN 50 081 - 1: 1992
Susceptibility EN 50 082 - 2: 1995
NSR EN 61 010 - 1: 1993

Use of a suitable seal for the cable in the PG is necessary for maintaining the housing protection. If the seal
used does not fit the cable, it should be replaced by a suitable one.
