Instruments with approvals can have different technical data depending on the version. That's why the associated approval documents have to be noted with these instruments. They are part of the delivery or can be downloaded under www.vega.com via "VEGA Tools" and "serial number search" as well as via "Downloads" and "Approvals".
Each Profibus instrument gets an unambiguous ident number (ID number) from the Profibus user organisation (PNO). This ID number is also included in the name of the GSD file. For VEGABAR 54 the ID number is 0 x 076F(hex) and the GSD file BR__076F.GSD. As an option to this manufacturer- specific GSD file, PNO provides also a general so-called profile-specific GSD file.
