Page 7: Principle Of Operation
PC with Windows operating system. It can also be used as a universal HART modem for HART sensors from other manufacturers. An ad- justment software such as PACTware with VEGA DTMs is required for parameter adjustment of these instruments. VEGACONNECT • Wired interface adapter with connection box... -
Page 8: Adjustment
The magnet pen enables the adjustment of the buttons of a Blue- Magnetic pen tooth-PLICSCOM with closed housing lid with inspection window. In this case, the VEGACONNECT is not used, here the connection box is only a preserving possibility for the magnet pen. You can find further information of this application in the operating instruction of PLICSCOM. - Page 9 • Avoiding mechanical shock and vibration • Storage and transport Storage and transport temperature see chapter " Supplement - temperature Technical data - Ambient conditions" • Relative humidity 20 … 85 % VEGACONNECT • Wired interface adapter with connection box...

Page 10: Connection
First install the software package " DTM Collection" before connecting the VEGACONNECT to the PC. An USB interface (1.1/2.0/3.0) is compulsory for connection of VEGACONNECT to a Windows PC. The connection is provided with the supplied USB cable. Voltage supply of VEGACONNECT is pro- vided via the USB interface. - Page 11 (for details see " Connection examples - Con- nection via HART interface"). The VEGACONNECT can be connected to the I²C bus interface of all Connection via I²C bus series 600 controllers (for details see " Connection examples - Con- nection via I²C interface").

Page 13: Connection Via Hart Interface
Digital communication with the PC is then no longer possible. With low impedance processing systems, a resistance of at least 230 Ω must be integrated into the 4 … 20 mA connection cable. The connection of VEGACONNECT can be either carried out in parallel to the sensor or via the resistor. Note: A HART resistor is already integrated in some controllers. - Page 14 Connection cable with 2 mm pins and terminals Processing system/PLC/Voltage supply Information: The VEGACONNECT is connected directly via the 2 mm sockets of the supplied HART resistor. Alternatively, the VEGACONNECT can also be connected in parallel to the sensor (dashed line).

Page 15: Connection Via I²C Interface
Note: Communication with the sensor is carried out also via the front I²C interface of the controller. The connection of VEGACONNECT directly to the 4 … 20 mA sensor cable is not possible. VEGACONNECT • Wired interface adapter with connection box... -
Page 16: Setup
Information: You find the VEGACONNECT DTM in the device catalogue under the group " Driver". When adding a HART sensors, the window " Channel selection" appears in addition in which you have to select the connec- tion (connection via HART or I²C).
