1 Product description
1.1 Function
The VEGACOM 558 interface converter is
used for conversion of VEGA-specific
protocols of the DISBUS and LOGBUS into
the TCP/IP protocol. It enables the connection
of VEGA signal conditioning instruments
VEGAMET series 500 and 600 and the
VEGALOG 571 processing system, and
through this, the connection of VEGA trans-
mitters to an Ethernet network. When con-
necting signal conditioning instruments, the
data of the VEGA protocol "DISBUS" are
used, with the processing system, the VEGA
protocol "LOGBUS" is used.
VEGACOM can be used as a web server,
making the measured values of the con-
nected VEGA instruments available in html
format on the Ethernet. At the office level, the
measured values of VEGA instruments can
be displayed with an internet browser on
each computer connected to the network.
The data of VEGACOM 558 can also be
called up via the WWW. Furthermore, it is
possible to send emails containing measured
values at predefined times and dates. For
integration in process control or visualisation
systems, VEGACOM 558 provides a
Modbus / TCP server.
Network participants provided with the ad-
justment software VVO (VEGA Visual Operat-
ing) (e.g. service technicians) can adjust the
VEGA instruments via Ethernet. With the
visualisation software VV (Visual VEGA), it is
also possible to access via network connec-
tion VEGACOM 558 and thus the measured
values of the VEGA instruments.
Note:
To enable VEGALOG to work together with
VEGACOM 558, the CPU card of VEGALOG
must be equipped with the software version
1.30 or higher.
1.2 Configuration
VEGACOM 558 is designed in European size
(5 TE width) and can be mounted into:
- carrier BGT596
- VEGALOG carrier BGT LOG571
- housing type 505.
The electrical connection to the power supply,
DISBUS and LOGBUS is made with plug
connectors. On the front plate of VEGACOM
there are also:
- a nine-pole SUB-D plug (RS232) for direct
connection to a PC with adjustment soft-
ware VVO (VEGA Visual Operating) or the
visualisation software VV (Visual VEGA)
- an RJ-45 connection for connection to an
Ethernet network.
