3.2 Principle of operation

VEGASON 66 is an ultrasonic sensor for continuous level measurement. It is particularly suitable for solids, but also good for liquids.
The transducer of the ultrasonic sensor transmits short ultrasonic pulses to the measured product. These pulses are reected by product surface and received again by the rtansducer as echoes. The running time of the ultrasonic pulases from emission to reception is proportional to the distance and hence the level. The determined level is converted into an appropriate output signal and outputted as measured value.
Four-wire electronics with separate power supply.
Power supply of the signal output is via the Probus DP/PA
segment coupler or VEGALOG 571 EP cards. A two-wire cable acc. to Probus specication serves as carrier of both power and digital data signals for multiple sensors. The instrument prole of VEGASON 66 corresponds to prole specication version 3.0.
The GSD (instrument master les) and bitmap les necessary for planning your Probus-DP-(PA) communication network are available from the download section on the VEGA

4.1 General instructions

Make sure that the wetted parts of VEGASON 66, especially the seal and process tting, are suitable for the existing process conditions such as pressure, temperature etc. as well as the chemical properties of the medium.
You will nd specication in chapter "Technical data" in the "Supplement".
Select an installation position you can easily reach for mounting and connecting as well as later retrotting of an indicating and adjustment module. The housing can be rotated by 330° without the use of any tools. You can also install the indicating and adjustment module in four dierent positions (each displaced by 90°).
Use the recommended cables (see chapter "Connecting to power supply") and tighten the cable gland.
You can give your VEGASON 66 additional protection against moisture penetration by leading the connection cable down­ward in front of the cable entry. Rain and condensation water can thus drain off. This applies mainly to mounting outdoors, in areas where moisture is expected (e.g. by cleaning processes) or on cooled or heated vessels.

The reference plane for the measuring range (version A) is the
lower edge of the ange. The reference plane for versions B, C and D is the lower edge of the transducer.
Make sure that for all versions a min. distance - the so called dead zone - below the reference plane is maintained in which a measurement is not possible. The exact value of the dead zone is stated in the "Technical data" in the "Supplement".
Information:
If the medium reaches the transducer, buildup can form on it and cause faulty measurements later on.

Gauge pressure in the vessel does not inuence VEGASON
66. Low pressure or vacuum does, however, damp the ultrasonic pulses. This inuences the measuring result, particularly if the level is very low. With pressures under -
0.2 bar (-20 kPa) you should use a dierent measuring principle, e.g. radar or guided microwave.

4.3 Mounting instructions

Mount VEGASON 66 at least 500 mm (19.7 in) from the vessel wall. If the sensor is installed in the center of vessels with dished or round tops, multiple echoes can arise. These can, however, be suppressed by an appropriate adjustment (see
"Setup").
If this distance cannot be maintained, a false echo storage
should be carried out during setup. This applies particularly if buildup on the vessel wall is expected. In such case, we recommend repeating the false echo storage later on with existing buildup.

Preferably the transducer should be mounted without socket
ush to the vessel top.

If the reective properties of the medium are good, you can
mount VEGASON 66 on a socket piece. The socket end should be smooth and burr-free, if possible also rounded.
Carry out a false echo storage.
In liquids, direct the sensor as perpendicular as possible to the
product surface to achieve optimum measurement results.
Fig. 10: Orientation in liquids
To optimally align the sensor to solid products, a swivelling holder can be implemented.
The ultrasonic sensor should be installed at a location where no installations cross the ultrasonic beam.
Vessel installations such as for example, ladders, limit switches, heating spirals, struts etc. can cause false echoes superimposed on the useful echo. Make sure when planning your measuring site that the ultrasonic signals have "free access" to the measured product.
If there are existing vessel installations, a false echo storage should be carried out during setup.
If large vessel installations such as struts or supports cause false echoes, these can be attenuated through supplementary measures. Small, inclined sheet metal or plastic baes above the installations scatter the ultrasonic signals and avoid direct false echoes.

If there are agitators in the vessel, a false echo storage should
be carried out with the agitators in motion. This ensures that the interfering reections from the agitators are saved with the blades in dierent positions.
Fig. 12: Agitators
Large material heaps are detected with several instruments, which can be mounted on e.g. traverse cranes. For this type of application, it is best to orient the sensor toward the solid surface.

Through the action of lling, stirring and other processes in the vessel, dense foams which considerably damp the emitted signals may form on the product surface.
If foams are causing measurement errors, the sensor should be used in a standpipe or, alternatively, the more suitable guided radar sensors (TDR) should be used.
Guided radar is not inuenced by foam generation and is particularly suitable for such applications.
If there are strong air currents in the vessel, e.g. due to strong winds in outdoor installations, or because of air turbulence, e. g. by cyclone exhaustion you should mount VEGASON 66 in a standpipe or use a dierent measuring principle, e.g. radar or guided radar (TDR).
Strong heat uctuations, e.g. caused by the sun, can cause measurement errors. In this case, you should use a sun shield.

5 Connecting to voltage supply

5.1 Preparing the connection

Generally not the following safety instructions:
l Connect only in the complete absence of line voltage l If overvoltage surges are expected, overvoltage arresters
should be installed according to Probus specication.
In hazardous areas you should take note of the appropriate
regulations, conformity and type approval certicates of the sensors and power supply units.
If reliable separation is required, power supply and current output are transmitted via separate two-wire connection cables. The supply voltage range can dier depending on the instrument version. The exact range is stated in the "Technical data" in the "Supplement".
This instrument is designed in protection class I. To maintain this protection class, it is absolutely necessary that the ground conductor be connected to the internal ground terminal. Take note of the general installation regulations.
As a rule, connect VEGASON 66 to vessel ground (potential euqalisation) or in case of plastic vessels to the next ground potential. For this purpose, there is a ground terminal on the side of the instrument housing.
For power supply, an approved installation cable with PE conductor is necessary.
VEGASON 66 is connected with screened cable acc. to Probus specication.
An outer cable diameter of 5 9 mm ensures the seal eect
of the respective cable entry.
Please make sure that your installation is carried out according to the Probus specication. In particular, make sure that the termination of the bus is done with appropriate terminating resistors.
In systems with potential equalisation, connect the cable screen directly to ground potential at the power supply unit, in the connection box and at the sensor. The screen in the sensor

28789-EN-060731
must be connected directly to the internal ground terminal. The ground terminal outside on the housing must be connected to the potential equalisation (low impedance).
In systems without potential equalisation, connect the cable screen directly to ground potential at the power supply unit and at the sensor. In the connection box or T-distributor, the screen of the short stub to the sensor must not be connected to ground potential or to another cable screen. The cable screens to the power supply unit and to the next distributor must be connected to each other and also connected to ground potential via a ceramic capacitor (e.g. 1 nF, 1500 V). The low frequency potential equalisation currents are thus suppressed, but the protective eect against high frequency interference signals remains.
The total capacitance of the cable and of all capacitors must not exceed 10 nF in Ex applications.
Take note of the corresponding installation regulations for Ex applications. In particular, make sure that no potential equal­isation currents ow over the cable screen. In case of grounding on both sides this can be achieved by the use of a capacitor or a separate potential equalisation.

5.2 Connection steps

Proceed as follows:
1 Unscrew the housing cover 2 Loosen compression nut of the cable entry 3 Remove approx. 10 cm (4 in) of the cable mantle (current
output), strip approx. 1 cm (0.4 in) insulation from the ends
of the individual wires
4 Insert the cable into the sensor through the cable entry 5 Lift the opening levers of the terminals with a screwdriver 6 Insert the wire ends into the open terminals according to
the wiring plan 7 Press the opening lever of the terminals downward, you will
hear the terminal spring closing 8 Check the hold of the wires in the terminals by lightly
pulling on them 9 Connect the screen to the internal ground terminal and the
external ground terminal to potential equalisation
Select connection cable for Ex applica­tions

6.4 Setup procedure

After VEGASON 66 is connected to voltage supply or after voltage recurrence, the instrument carries out a self-check for approx. 30 seconds. The following steps are carried out:
l Internal check of the electronics l Indication of the instrument type, the rmware as well as
the sensor TAGs (sensor designation)
l Status byte goes briey to fault value
Then the current measured value will be displayed and the corresponding digital output signal will be outputted to the cable.
3)
Before starting the actual parameter adjustment of a Probus PA sensor, the address setting must rst be carried out. You
will nd a detailed description in the operating instructions manual of the indicating and adjustment module or in the online help of PACTwareor DTM.
As VEGASON 66 is a distance measuring instrument, the distance from the sensor to the product surface is measured. To have the real product level displayed, an allocation of the measured distance to the percentage height must be made. To carry out this adjustment, the distance is entered with full and empty vessel. If these values are not known, an adjustment with the distance values, e.g. 10 % and 90 % is also possible. Starting point for these distance specications is always the the lower side of the ange (ange version, for all other versions the lower side of the transducer.
The actual level is then calculated on the basis of these entered values. At the same time, the operating range of the sensor is limited from maximum range to the requested range.
The real product level during this adjustment is not important, because the min./max. adjustment is always carried out without changing the product level. These settings can be made ahead of time without the instrument having to be installed.
In the main menu item "Basic adjustment", the individual submenu items should be selected one after the other and provided with the correct parameter values.
Start your parameter adjustment with the following menu items of the basic adjustment:

Each product has dierent reective properties. In addition,
there are various interfering factors which have to be taken into account: agitated product surfaces and foam generation (with liquids); dust generation, material cones and echoes from the vessel wall (with solids). To adapt the sensor to these dierent conditions, you should rst select in this menu item "Liquid" or
"Solid".
Medium
Liquid
With solids, you can also choose between "Powder/Dust", "Granular/Pellets" or "Ballast/Pebbels".
Through this additional selection, the sensor is adapted perfectly to the product and measurement reliability, partic­ularly in products with bad reective properties, is considerably increased.
Enter the requested parameter via the appropriate keys, save your settings and jump to the next menu item with the [->] key.
Apart from the medium, the vessel shape can also inuence the measurement. To adapt the sensor to these measuring conditions, this menu item oers dierent options depending on whether liquid or solid is selected. With "Liquid" these are
"Storage tank", "Stilling tube", "Open vessel" or "Stirred vessel", with "Solid", "Silo" or "Bunker".

Storage tank
Enter the requested parameter via the appropriate keys, save your settings and jump to the next menu item with the [->] key.
To suppress uctuations in the measured value display, e.g. by uctuating product surfaces, an integration time can be set. This time can be between 0 and 999 seconds. Keep in mind that also the reaction time of the complete measurement will be bigger and the sensor will react on measured value changes with a delay. In general a time of a few seconds will be sucient to smooth the measured value display.

A linearization is necessary for all vessels in which the vessel volume does not increase linearly with the level - e.g. with a cylindrical or spherical tank - and the indication or output of the volume is required. Corresponding linearization curves are preprogrammed for these vessels. They represent the correlation between the level percentage and vessel volume. By activating the appropriate curve, the volume percentage of the vessel is displayed correctly. If the volume should not be displayed in percent but e.g. in l or kg, a scaling can be also set in the menu item "Display".

displayed.
3 Conrm "False signal suppression - Change now" with
[OK] and select in the below menu "Create new". Enter the actual distance from the sensor to the product surface. All false signals in this area are detected by the sensor and saved after conrming with [OK].
Note:
Check the distance to the product surface, because if an incorrect (too large) value is entered, the existing level will be saved as false signal. The lling level would then no longer be detectable in this area.
Additional adjustment and diagnosis options such as e.g. scaling, simulation or trend curve presentation are shown in the following menu schematic. You will nd a detailed description of these menu items in the operating instructions manual of the indicating and adjustment module.

Instrument master le
The instrument master le (GSD) contains the characteristic data of the Probus PA instrument. These data are, e.g. the permissible transmission rates as well as information on diagnostics values and the format of the measured value outputted by the PA instrument.
A bitmap le is also provided for the planning tool of the Probus network. This le is automatically installed with the GSD le. The bitmap le is used for symbolic indication of the PA instrument in the conguration tool.
Ident number
Each Probus instrument gets an unambiguous ident number (ID number) from the Probus user organisation (PNO). This ID number is also included in the name of the GSD le. For VEGASON 66 the ID number is 0x0770(hex) and the GSD file "SN__0770.GSD". Asan option to this manufacturer-specic GSD le, PNO provides also a general so-called prole­specic GSD le. For VEGASON 66 you have to use the general GSD le "PA139701.GSD". If the general GSD le is used, the sensor must be set to the prole-specic ident number via the DTM software. By default, the sensor operates with the manufacturer-specic ID number.
Note:
When using the prole-specic GSD file, the PA-OUT value as well as the temperature value are transmitted to the PLC (see block diagram "Cyclical data trac").
Cyclical data trac
The master class 1 (e.g. PLC) cyclically reads out measured values from the sensor during operation. The below block diagram below shows which data can be accessed by the PLC.

Module of the PA sensors
For the cyclic data trac, VEGASON 66 provides the following modules:
l AI (PA-OUT)
- PA-OUT value of the FB1 after scaling
l Temperature
- PA-OUT value of the FB2 after scaling
l Additional Cyclic Value
- Additional cyclical value (depending on the source)
l Free Place
- This module must be used if a value should not be used in the data telegram of the
cyclical data trac (e.g. replacement of the temperature and Additional Cyclic Value)
Max. three modules can be active. By means of the conguration software of the Probus master, you can determine the conguration of the cyclical data telegram with these modules.
The procedure depends on the respective conguration software.

28789-EN-060731
Note:
The modules are available in two versions:
l Short for Probus master supporting only one "Identier
Format" byte, e.g. Allen Bradley
l Long for Probus master only supporting the "Identier
Format" byte, e.g. Siemens S7-300/400
Examples of telegram conguration
In the following you will see how the modules can be combined and how the appendant data telegram is structured.
