Technical Information
1 Product description
VEGACONNECT connection cable is used for conversion
of VEGA-specific VBUS/DISBUS-signals to standard
RS 232-signals.
Via a 9-pole SUB-D plug VEGACONNECT is connected to
the standard interface of an available PC/LAPTOP and via
a 2 mm-plug to the CONNECT-sockets of the VEGAinstrument.
It is possible to connect the following instruments:
- ECHOFOX®-sensors
VEGASON 83 … 87 FK/GK as well as 83 … 87 FV/GV
- ECHOFOX®-sensors
VEGAPULS 64 DK/FK/UK as well as 64 DV/FV/UV
- Ex-Zone 10 (StEx)-version of these sensors
- Signal conditioning instrument VEGAMET serie 500
Further connection possibilities for VEGACONNECT are:
- The connection line between VBUS-sensor and signal
conditioning instrument
- the 0/4 … 20 mA-output of K (compact)-version of the
sensors.
VEGACONNECT is located in a stable plastic housing and
is supplied completely with connection lines and plug
connections.

The power supply is realized via the RS 232-interface of
PC / LAPTOP.
The operating software VEGA VISUAL OPERATING is
required to operate VEGACONNECT. It is installed on PC/
LAPTOP under WINDOWS and enables a comfortable,
menu guided parameter adjustment of ECHOFOX®sensors and signal conditioning instruments of the new
generation.
