Software from 3.82 Principle of operation Application area VEGABAR 53 is a pressure transmitter for measurement of overpres- sure, absolute pressure or vacuum. Measured products are gases, vapours and liquids in measuring ranges up to 4000 bar (400 MPa); with front-flush version also viscous liquids in measuring ranges up to 600 bar (60 MPa).
(Electronic Device Description) is also required to enable the full range of sensor functions (also available as a download).A CD with the appropriate files can be ordered via e-mail under info@de.vega. com or by phone from one of the VEGA agencies under the order number "DRIVER.S". Operation The instrument can be adjusted with the following adjustment media: •...
The interface adapter VEGACONNECT enables the connection of communication-capable instruments to the USB interface of a PC. For parameter adjustment of these instruments, an adjustment software such as PACTware with VEGA-DTM is required. You can find further information in the operating instructions "Interface adapter VEGACONNECT" (Document-ID 32628).
The electronics module is a replacement part for pressure transmitter Electronics module VEGABAR. One version is available for each type of signal output. You find further information in the operating instructions "Electronics module VEGABAR series 50 and 60 " (Document-ID 30175). VEGABAR 53 • Profibus PA...

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 53 the ID number is 0 x 076F(hex) and the GSD file BR__076F.GSD. As an option to this manufactur- er-specific GSD file, PNO provides also a general so-called profile-specific GSD file.
