VEGASCAN 850 63
Configuration
During the setup of VEGASCAN you are
confronted with two terms: "Configuration“
and "Parameter adjustment“. The meas. sys-
tem VEGASCAN is first set up with a configu-
ration and then with a parameter adjustment.
Configuration
The term "Configuration“ means the basic
adjustments of VEGASCAN. You inform
VEGASCAN about the application (level
measurement, gauge, distance …), the
measurement loop name and the DCS output
address of the sensors. The configuration
corresponds to an electronic wiring and
labelling of your VEGASCAN or just which
sensor for what application and where.
Parameter adjustment
After the configuration, you carry out the
parameter adjustment for each individual
sensor. This means, to adjust the sensors to
the respective operating range and to adjust
to the actual application. You inform the sen-
sor which product distance (which level) is
"empty“ and which "full“. This is called adjust-
ment. Here you choose in which physical unit
(volume, mass) and unit of measurement (m
3 ,
gal, liters …) the adjusted measured value
should be outputted. In the submenu "Sensor
optimisation“ you inform the sensor electron-
ics about the actual environment, such as
e.g. quick changes of the measured value,
foam generation, gas stratification, solid or
liquid.
Setup - Adjustment with the PC
Note:
If you get no sensor connection, check the
following:
- Is the sensor being supplied with voltage
from VEGASCAN (min. 17 V)
?
- Are you using the correct interface cable?
- Is the RS 232 cable connected to the cor-
rect COM-Port?
Change COM-Port
In the menu " Configuration/Program/Commu-
nication“ you can adjust the interface param-
eters of your PC or change the activated
COM-Port.
