Product description
3.2 Principle of operation
VEGACONNECT 3 is an interface converter for connecting communication-capable VEGA instruments to the RS232 interface of a PC or modem. It can be also used as universal HART modem for sensors of other manufacturers. For parameter adjustment of these instruments, an adjustment software such as PACTware™ with VEGA DTM or VEGA Visual Operating (VVO) is required. The Visual VEGA software can be used for remote enquiry of measured values.
VEGACONNECT 3 can be connected to the VEGA instruments listed below. All currently available protocol versions are supported. These are: HART, Profibus PA, Foundation Fieldbus, VBUS (optional).
•VEGAPULS radar sensors
•VEGASON ultrasonic sensors
•VEGAFLEX guided microwave
•VEGABAR process pressure transmitter
•Pressure transmitter D series
•Capacitive electrode EL/EK
•VEGADIS indicating instruments
•VEGAMET signal conditioning instruments
VEGACONNECT 3 is available in two versions:
•CONNECT3.X: Standard version without VBUS interface
•CONNECT3.V: Version with additional VBUS interface
Two adapters and terminals for connection to di erent instrument series are attached to each VEGACONNECT 3.
The VEGACONNECT 3 interface converter is connected via an RS232 connection to a PC or an external modem. It converts the signals and protocols of the RS232 interface into the corresponding signal/protocol of the connected instrument. The following systems are supported:
•4 … 20 mA with superimposed HART protocol
•Profibus PA via I²C protocol
•Foundation Fieldbus via I²C protocol
•VBUS (only with the option additional VBUS interface)
Power supply is provided via the control cables of the RS232 interface of the PC or modem. In a few cases, it may happen that the gauges of the control cables are not su cient for power supply of VEGACONNECT 3. In this case, power supply can be carried out via a standard, separate power supply unit (e.g. Friwo EP1). A protective low voltage in the
7
Product description
range of 6 … 12 V DC is not necessary. The power supply unit is connected with a low voltage micro plug (outer ø 3.5 mm, inner ø 1.3 mm) to VEGACONNECT 3. The polarity is unimportant.
You can find detailed specifications on voltage supply in chapter "Technical data" in the "Supplement".
3.3 Operation
The adjustment is carried out via a Windows PC with a parameter adjustment software such as PACTware™ with VEGA DTM or VVO. There are no adjustment elements on the instrument itself.
|
3.4 Packaging, transport and storage |
Packaging |
Your instrument was protected by packaging during transport. |
|
Its capacity to handle normal loads during transport is assured |
|
by a test according to DIN EN 24180. |
|
The packaging of standard instruments consists of environ- |
|
ment-friendly, recyclable cardboard. For special versions, PE |
|
foam or PE foil is also used. Dispose of the packaging material |
|
via specialised recycling companies. |
Transport |
Transport must be carried out under consideration of the notes |
|
on the transport packaging. Nonobservance of these instruc- |
|
tions can cause damage to the device. |
Transport inspection |
The delivery must be checked for completeness and possible |
|
transit damage immediately at receipt. Ascertained transit |
|
damage or concealed defects must be appropriately dealt |
|
with. |
Storage |
Up to the time of installation, the packages must be left closed |
|
and stored according to the orientation and storage markings |
|
on the outside. |
|
Unless otherwise indicated, the packages must be stored only |
|
under the following conditions: |
|
• Not in the open |
|
• Dry and dust free |
|
• Not exposed to corrosive media |
|
• Protected against solar radiation |
|
• Avoiding mechanical shock and vibration |
