ments
As diagnostic aid, VEGACOM 557 is
equipped with three LEDs. These are located
on the instrument front panel. In addition, the
basic board, as well as the additional board
of VEGACOM 557 are equipped with a
number of switches (DIP switch or hook
switch) for configuration of the available inter-
faces.

Product description
Meaning of the LEDs:
VEGA ASCII active:
- green LED lights in case of valid data ex-
change
Fault signal:
- red LED flashing: DISBUS/LOGBUS-error
- irregularly flashing: no PC/DCS outputs
assigned
- permanent light: hardware error or special
function "Freeze Mode“
Voltage supply:
- green LED lights, operating voltage on.
Adjustment elements
The adjustment elements are located on the
basic board. A 6-pole DIL-switch block on
the basic board is used for adjustment of the
front PC interface.
Special function “Freeze Mode“
For diagnostic purposes on VEGA process-
ing systems VEGAMET and VEGALOG, the
process image can be “frozen“ in VEGACOM
557 with the adjustment software VVO. This
enables the possibility of carrying out mainte-
nance work on the VEGA system, without
disturbing the higher-priority processing
system.
For activating the Freeze Mode, a PC must
be connected directly to the PC interface of
VEGACOM 557 and the Freeze Mode must
be switched on under VVO in the menu "Con-
figuration - Measuring system“.
Attention:
Before activating this function, you must
make sure that during this mode no disas-
trous consequences are to be expected for
production processes (during this mode, no
level values etc. are updated).
