2 For your safety
2 For your safety
2.1 Authorised personnel
All operations described in this operating instructions manual must
be carried out only by trained specialist personnel authorised by the
plant operator.
During work on and with the device the required personal protective
equipment must always be worn.
2.2 Appropriate use
PACTware (Process Automation Conguration Tool) is a manufacturer
and eldbus-independent software for adjustment of all types of eld
instruments. The corresponding VEGA instruments can be adjusted
with the DTMs (Device Type Manager) supplied by VEGA.
2.3 Warning about incorrect use
Inappropriate or incorrect use of an instrument adjusted with PACTware can give rise to application-specic hazards, e.g. vessel overll
or damage to system components through incorrect mounting or
setting.
2.4 General safety instructions
Installation and use of the software are carried out at your own risk.
We do not accept liability for consequential damage.
2.5 Environmental instructions
Protection of the environment is one of our most important duties.
That is why we have introduced an environment management system
with the goal of continuously improving company environmental protection. The environment management system is certied according
to DIN EN ISO 14001.
Please help us fulll this obligation by observing the environmental
instructions in this manual:

3.2 What is PACTware/FDT/DTM?
PACTware (Process Automation Conguration Tool) is manufacturer
and eldbus-independent software for adjustment of all types of eld
instruments. The DTMs (Device Type Manager) of the respective eld
device manufacturers are integrated into this open, freely available
supporting program via the interface specication FDT 1.21. To adjust
a eld device, a DTM corresponding to the instrument type is always
required (this DTM is developed and sold by the respective eld
device manufacturer).
FDT (Field Device Tool) is a standardised interface description that
describes the interaction between DTM and frame application, e.g.
PACTware. FDT controls the data exchange between the dierent
DTMs and the supporting program.
The DTM (Device Type Manager) is the actual adjustment module
for sensors and eld components. It contains all instrument-specic
data and functions of a sensor type and delivers all graphic elements
and dialogues for adjustment. A DTM is not a stand-alone, executable software but requires a supporting program, like PACTware, from
which it can run.
DTM Collection

PACTware/DTM Collection 01/2014 • Installation, rst steps
The VEGA DTM Collection, a software package consisting of PACT-
ware with VEGA DTM as well as various standard communication
DTMs, is the adjustment software for all currently available, communication-capable VEGA sensors. Also VEGAMET 391, VEGAMET
624/625 signal conditioning instruments, VEGASCAN 693 as well as
all instruments of PLICSRADIO and PLICSMOBILE series can be
operated completely via the corresponding DTM. For VEGALOG 571
processing systems with DTM CPU (CPU card from version 2.0) there
is also complete DTM support.
Parameter adjustment of the VEGAMET series 500 and 614 signal
conditioning instruments as well as VEGALOG 571 with CPU version
< 2.0 is not supported. For paramerter adjustment of these instruments, the parameter adjustment software VVO is required. Access
to the digital sensors (Probus PA, VBUS) connected to VEGALOG
5
3 Product description
571 is possible with the "VEGALOG 571" DTM, independent of the
software version.
There is also complete support for parameter adjustment of VEGA
sensors with Modbus extensions via a USB connection. For parameter adjustment via Modbus there is also a Modbus-CommDTM
included in the package.
3.3 VEGA-DTM
All device DTMs are available as a free-of-charge standard version
and as a full version that must be purchased. In the standard version,
all functions for complete setup are already included. An assistant for
simple project conguration simplies the adjustment considerably.
Saving/printing the project as well as import/export functions are also
part of the standard version.
In the full version there is also an extended print function for complete
project documentation as well as a save function for measured value
and echo curves. With plics®plus sensors, the recording functions
only through the service recording, but also in the standard version.
In addition, a tank calculation program as well as a multiviewer for
display and analysis of the saved measured value and echo curves is
available in the full version.
The standard version is available as a free-of-charge download from
our homepage. The full version is available on DVD from the agency
serving you.
The licence regulations allow you to copy a VEGA DTM any number
of times and use it on any number of computers, as long as you are
using the standard version. The full version may be copied a number
of times and can be installed on several computers, however may not
be used by more than one user at a time.
VEGA oers individual DTMs for more than 200 instrument types, all
of them are installed via a common setup program:

General information
4 Software installation
4.1 System requirements
CPU 1 GHz or higher, 1 GB RAM, 1 GB free memory, Windows XP 32
Bit)/Vista/Windows 7/8 (32/64 Bit), Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher, Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0, graphic resolution 1024 x 768 or higher,
Microsoft compatible mouse, RS232/USB/Ethernet interface.
The size of the working memory depends on the operating system
and the processor as well as the installed application software and
corresponds to an average value. Under Windows XP, 512 MB can be
sucient, depending on the conguration of the operating system. At
least 2 GB RAM should be available with 64 Bit systems.
Note:
To install the software you will need administrator rights. After the
installation, a Windows restart is necessary to actually complete the
installation. For that reason, the subsequent Windows login must be
carried out with the same user name the installation was performed
under.
4.2 Installation of PACTware and DTM
1. Before installation, all running programs should be exited.
2. Insert the DVD, the installation program will be started automati-
cally. If the DVD does not start automatically, the installation can
be started by a double click on the le "autorun.exe".
In the opening installation assistant you now select the requested
language. This selection can be modied after installation.
In the next window, you select "Standard" or "User-dened". With
the standard installation, only the components required for VEGA
instruments are installed. If "User-dened" is selected, the available DTM packages can be selected individually in the following
window.
Start the actual installation process via the button "Installation".
Note:
For the installation of PACTware, Microsoft .NET Frameworks 2.0
is a prerequisite. The installation assistant checks automatically if
.NET, PACTware and the VEGA plics DTMs are already installed. If
that is the case, this will be marked in the respective window and the
programs will not be installed again.
