    • Abrasion and mechanical influences Second Line of Defense As a standard feature, the VEGAPULS 6X is separate from the pro- cess through its plastic antenna encapsulation. Optionally, the instrument is available with a Second Line of Defense (SLOD), a second process separation. It is located as gas-tight leadthrough between the process component and the electronics.
  • Page 16 For devices in protection class IP66/IP68 (1 bar), ventilation is pro- vided by a capillary in the fixed cable. In these devices, a blind plug is installed in the housing instead of the filter element. The housing of VEGAPULS 6X can be rotated completely by 360°. Housing orientation This enables optimal reading of the display and easy cable entry. For housings made of plastic or electropolished stainless steel, this is done without tools.

    Mounting strap - Ceiling The instrument is normally mounted vertically with a bracket on the mounting ceiling. This allows swivelling the sensor up to 180° for optimal orientation and rotating for optimal connection. VEGAPULS 6X • PROFINET, Modbus TCP, OPC UA (Ethernet-APL)

    Fig. 15: Adapter flange Connection screw 2 Adapter flange Process seal Mounting instructions Radar sensors for level measurement emit electromagnetic waves. Polarisation The polarisation is the direction of the electrical share of these waves. It is identifiable by a mark on the housing, see the following drawing: VEGAPULS 6X • PROFINET, Modbus TCP, OPC UA (Ethernet-APL)
  • Page 22 (7.874 in) from the vessel wall. If the device is installed in the center of dished or round vessel tops, multiple echoes can arise. However, these can be suppressed by an appropriate adjustment (see chapter "Setup"). VEGAPULS 6X • PROFINET, Modbus TCP, OPC UA (Ethernet-APL)
  • Page 23 Mount the instrument at least 200 mm (7.874 in) away from the vessel solids wall. In this case, it is recommended to repeat the false signal suppression at a later time with existing buildup. VEGAPULS 6X • PROFINET, Modbus TCP, OPC UA (Ethernet-APL)
  • Page 24 This applies especially if buildup on the vessel wall is to be expected. Reference plane The measuring range of the VEGAPULS 6X physically begins with the antenna end. However, the min./max. adjustment begins mathematically with the reference plane, which is located differently depending on the sensor version.

Make sure uids that you detect the medium surface, not the inflowing product. Fig. 21: Mounting of the radar sensor with inflowing medium Inflowing medium - bulk As a general rule, the device must not be mounted too close to or solids above the inflowing medium, otherwise the radar signal could be disturbed. VEGAPULS 6X • PROFINET, Modbus TCP, OPC UA (Ethernet-APL)
  • Page 26 5 Mounting Silo with filling from top: The optimal mounting position is opposite the filling aperture. To avoid heavy soiling of the antenna, the distance to any filter or dust exhauster should be as large as possible. Fig. 22: Mounting of the radar sensor with inflowing medium – filling from top Silo with lateral filling: The optimal mounting position is next to the filling. To avoid heavy soiling of the antenna, the distance to any filter or dust exhauster should be as large as possible. VEGAPULS 6X • PROFINET, Modbus TCP, OPC UA (Ethernet-APL)
  • Page 27 For nozzle mounting, the nozzle should be as short as possible and Socket mounting - short nozzles its end rounded. This reduces false reflections from the nozzle. With threaded connection, the antenna end should protrude at least 5 mm (0.2 in) out of the nozzle. VEGAPULS 6X • PROFINET, Modbus TCP, OPC UA (Ethernet-APL)
  • Page 28 Flange with lens antenna Socket mounting - longer If the reflective properties of the medium are good, you can mount nozzles VEGAPULS 6X on sockets longer than the antenna. The socket end should be smooth and burr-free, if possible also rounded. Note: When mounting on a longer socket piece, we recommend to carry out a false signal suppression (see chapter "Parameter adjustment").

  • Page 30 Antenna encapsulation Note: PTFE-plated flanges, however, have a preload loss over time with large temperature changes. This can negatively the sealing proper- ties. To avoid this, use the disc springs from the scope of delivery during mounting. They fit the required flange screws. Proceed as follows to seal effectively: 1. Use flange screws according to the number of flange holes VEGAPULS 6X • PROFINET, Modbus TCP, OPC UA (Ethernet-APL)

  • Page 36 3. Re-tighten the terminal screws, max. torque see chapter "Techni- cal data". Agitators Agitators in the vessel can reflect the measurement signal and thus lead to undesired incorrect measurements. Note: To avoid this, a false signal suppression should be carried out with the agitators in motion. This ensures that the interfering reflections from the agitators are saved with the blades in different positions. VEGAPULS 6X • PROFINET, Modbus TCP, OPC UA (Ethernet-APL)
  • Page 37 In these applications, it must be taken into account that the radar sen- sors are designed for relatively slow level changes. Therefore, when using on moving parts, observe the measurement characteristics of the device (see chapter "Technical data"). VEGAPULS 6X • PROFINET, Modbus TCP, OPC UA (Ethernet-APL)
  • Page 38 The sensor should be directed towards the emptying point in the centre of the silo. This can be done, for example, using the mount- ing strap. Fig. 37: Installation and orientation in multiple chamber silos VEGAPULS 6X • PROFINET, Modbus TCP, OPC UA (Ethernet-APL)

VEGA GSD file The manufacturer-specific GSD file can be downloaded directly from the VEGAPULS 6X using the integrated web server or via our download area. File name (example): GSDML-V2.43-VEGA-VE- GAPULS6X-20231220.xml Manufacturer ID (VEGA): 0x0062 (=98) Device ID (VEGAPULS 6X): 0x4754 (=18260) Profil-GSD file The Profil-GSD file for the "PROFINET PA Profile LEVEL_RADAR" can be downloaded directly from the PROFINET-International (PI) website if it is not pre-installed in the controller.

    Measurement Rate √ Measuring rate Operating Voltage √ Operating voltage APL SNR √ APL signal-to- noise-ratio AnalogInput The measured values in the module "AnalogInput" each consist of five bytes; in the first four bytes, the measured value is transmitted as a floating point number in the IEEE 754 standard. The fifth byte contains the corresponding status. VEGAPULS 6X • PROFINET, Modbus TCP, OPC UA (Ethernet-APL)

  • Page 91: I&M Data

    I&M data stands for "Identification & Maintenance data". This data can be read or written from the sensor using acyclic data exchange and helps to identify and maintain devices in a PROFINET network. The VEGAPULS 6X supports the data "I&M 0 … 3" acc. to the pro- file 4.02 "Profile for Process Control Devices". Main function...
