1.1 Function and configuration |
1.2 Self-monitoring |
The VEGABAR 24 process pressure transmitters are efficient instruments for process pressure measurement. The dry CERTEC® ceramic-capacitive measuring cell is used as a pressure sensor element. The process pressure causes a capacitance change within the measuring cell via the diaphragm. This capacitance change is detected by an ASIC (application specific integrated circuit) and converted into a pressure proportional signal by an integral oscillator with microcomputer. Precise digital processing of measured data with highest resolution ensures excellent technical data.
The oscillator is powered by a separate VEGA-signal conditioning instrument, a stabilised power supply unit or a PLC (active input). After adjustment, a standardised current signal of 4 … 20 mA is available which can be displayed (e.g. in PLC-sys- tems) or further processed.
For versions are available for adjustment:
-adjustment module directly on VEGABAR
-adjustment module in external housing (VEGADIS 10)
-via PC with adjustment software (see manual “VEGA Visual Operating (VVO)“)
-in the control room on the signal conditioning instrument
Important electronic components are checked for their function, while internal parameters, such as sensor value, temperature and operating voltage, are monitored to increase reliability.
VEGABAR 20 with the ceramic CERTEC®- measuring cell offers the advantage of continuous self-monitoring. The measuring and reference capacitances of the measuring cell are in a defined ratio over the complete measuring range. Any deviation from these data is a reliable indicator for a malfunction of the measuring cell.
If failures or malfunctions are detected during these routines, a fault signal is triggered via the 4 … 20 mA-output (current jump to
3,6 mA or 22 mA).
