5 Diagnosis
5.1 Simulation
To simulate a certain filling, you can call up
the function "Simulation“ on the adjustment
module MINICOM, in the adjustment program
VVO or in the HART
® handheld. With this
function, you simulate a certain current.
Please note that connected instruments, such
as e.g. a PLC, react according to their ad-
justments and will probably activate alarms
or system functions.
Simulation with VVO
If you start the simulation mode with the ad-
justment program VVO on the PC, the simu-
lated level is outputted until you quit the
simulation mode.
Simulation with MINICOM
If you start the simulation mode on the adjust-
ment module MINICOM, the sensor returns to
standard operating mode after one hour.
Diagnosis
5.2 Function diagram
The following function diagram is used for
setup with the automation system, if no ad-
justment software is available. Keep in mind
that all VEGA sensors are profile 3 sensors.
You will more likely carry out the setup of the
sensors with the user-friendly VEGA adjust-
ment software VVO or with the adjustment
module MINICOM in the sensor.
Normally, the function diagram is not required
for setup and only serves to deepen the
knowledge of the interested user and enable
him to read meas. values from the sensor into
the processing system (also without adjust-
ment tool).
