INFICON BPG400 ATM to Ultra-High Vacuum Gauge - Manual (Page 19)

If the gauge is used with an INFICON VGC103 or VGC40x controller, a corre-
sponding sensor cable is required (
→ [10]). The sensor cable permits supplying
the gauge with power, transmitting measurement values and gauge statuses, and
making parameter settings.
Caution
Caution: data transmission errors
If the gauge is operated with the INFICON VGC103 or VGC40x Vac-
uum Gauge Controller (RS232C) and a fieldbus interface at the same
time, data transmission errors may occur.
The gauge must not be operated with an INFICON VGC103 or
VGC40x controller and DeviceNet, Profibus or RS485 at the same
time.
• Sensor cable (→ [10], INFICON sales literature)
Plug the sensor connector into the gauge and secure it with the locking
screws.
Connect the other end of the sensor cable to the INFICON controller and
secure it.
The gauge can now be operated with the VGC103 or VGC40x controller.
The gauge can also be operated with other controllers.
Especially the fieldbus versions BPG400-SD (DeviceNet), BPG400-SP (Profibus)
and BPG400-SR (RS485) are usually operated as part of a network, controlled by a
master or bus controller. In such cases, the control system has to be operated with
the appropriate software and communication protocol (
→ [1], [10] or 37 re-
spectively).
