3.2 Principle of operation
The VEGABAR 67 is a suspension pressure transmitter for level
measurement in vessels under difficult conditions (cold media, warm
humid environment). Measured products can be all media against
which the wetted materials of are resistant.
The METEC ® measuring cell is the measuring unit. It consists of the
ceramic-capacitive CERTEC ® absolute pressure measuring cell and
a special, temperature-compensating isolating system.
The hydrostatic pressure of the medium or the process pressure
causes a capacitance change in the measuring cell via the metal pro-
cess diaphragm and the isolating liquid. This change is converted into
an electrical signal, compared with an integrated reference pressure
measurement and outputted as measured value via the output signal.
The CERTEC
® measuring cell is also equipped with a temperature
sensor. The temperature value can be displayed via the display and
adjustment module or processed via the signal output.
Power supply via the Profibus DP/PA segment coupler or VEGALOG
571 EP cards. A two-wire cable according to Profibus specification
serves as carrier of both power and digital data transmission for
