2 For your safety

2 For your safety

2.1Authorised 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.

2.2Appropriate use

PACTware (Process Automation ConfigurationTool) is a manufacturer and fieldbus-independent software for adjustment of all types of field instruments.The correspondingVEGA instruments can be adjusted with the DTMs (DeviceType Manager) supplied byVEGA.

2.3Warning about incorrect use

Inappropriate or incorrect use of an instrument adjusted with PACTware can give rise to application-specific hazards, e.g.vessel overfill or damage to system components through incorrect mounting or setting.

2.4General safety instructions

Installation and use of the software are carried out at your own risk.

We do not accept liability for consequential damage.

2.5Environmental 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 certified according to DIN EN ISO 14001.

Please help us fulfill this obligation by observing the environmental instructions in this manual:

•Chapter "Packaging, transport and storage"

•Chapter "Disposal"

		Operating Instructions Installation, first steps
	3.2		What is PACTware/FDT/DTM?
PACTware	PACTware (Process Automation ConfigurationTool) is manufacturer
	and fieldbus-independent software for adjustment of all types of field
	instruments.The DTMs (DeviceType Manager) of the respective field
	device manufacturers are integrated into this open, freely available
	supporting program via the interface specification FDT 1.21.To adjust
	a field device, a DTM corresponding to the instrument type is always
	required (this DTM is developed and sold by the respective field
	device manufacturer).
FDT	FDT (Field DeviceTool) is a standardised interface description that
	describes the interaction between DTM and frame application, e.g.
	PACTware.FDT controls the data exchange between the different
	DTMs and the supporting program.
DTM	The DTM (DeviceType Manager) is the actual adjustment module
	for sensors and field components.It contains all instrument-specific
	data and functions of a sensor type and delivers all graphic elements
	and dialogues for adjustment. A DTM is not a stand-alone, execut-
	able software but requires a supporting program, like PACTware, from
	which it can run.
DTM Collection	TheVEGA 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, commu-
	nication-capableVEGA sensors.AlsoVEGAMET 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.ForVEGALOG 571
	processing systems with DTM CPU (CPU card from version 2.0) there
	is also complete DTM support.
	Parameter adjustment of theVEGAMET 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 instru-
	ments, the parameter adjustment softwareVVO is required.Access
	to the digital sensors (Profibus PA,VBUS) connected toVEGALOG

3 Product description

571 is possible with the "VEGALOG 571" DTM, independent of the software version.

There is also complete support for parameter adjustment ofVEGA sensors with Modbus extensions via a USB connection.For parameter adjustment via Modbus there is also a Modbus-CommDTM included in the package.

3.3VEGA-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 configuration simplifies 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 aVEGA 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 offers individual DTMs for more than 200 instrument types, all of them are installed via a common setup program:

•VEGA-USB

•VEGA-Ethernet

•VEGA-RS232

•VEGA Modbus Serial

•VEGACONNECT

		4			Software installation
		4.1			System requirements
General information				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, Mi-
				crosoft .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.UnderWindows XP, 512 MB can be
				sufficient, depending on the configuration 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, aWindows 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.

4.2Installation of PACTware and DTM

1.Before installation, all running programs should be exited.

2.Insert the DVD, the installation program will be started automatically. If the DVD does not start automatically, the installation can be started by a double click on the file "autorun.exe".

In the opening installation assistant you now select the requested language.This selection can be modified after installation.

In the next window, you select "Standard" or "User-defined".With the standard installation, only the components required forVEGA instruments are installed.If "User-defined" 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 theVEGA 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.
