VEGAPULS 63 • Foundation Fieldbus
6 Set up with the display and adjustment module PLICSCOM
Note:
Since with the function "Quick level change > 1 m/min." the genera-
tion of an average value of the signal processing is considerably
reduced, false reflections by agitators or vessel installations can
cause measured value fluctuations. A false signal suppression is thus
recommended.
In this menu item you simulate a user-defined level or pressure value
via the current output. This allows you to test the signal path, e.g.
through connected indicating instruments or the input card of the
control system.
The following simulation variables are available:
•
Percent
•
Current
•
Pressure (with pressure transmitters)
•
Distance (with radar and guided microwave)
With Profibus PA sensors, the selection of the simulated value is
made via the "Channel" in the menu "Basic adjustments".
How to start the simulation:
1. Push [OK]
2. Select the requested simulation variable with [->] and confirm
with [OK].
3. Set the requested numerical value with [+] and [->].
4. Push [OK]
The simulation is now running, with 4 ... 20 mA/HART a current is
outputted and with Profibus PA or Foundation Fieldbus a digital value.
How to interrupt the simulation:
→
Push [ESC]
Information:
The simulation is automatically terminated 10 minutes after the last
pressing of a key.

ing menu items to the reset values (see table):
