.2 Principle of operation

The VEGABAR 51 is a pressure transmitter with isolating diaphragm for pressure measurement of highly corrosive and hot liquids.

VEGABAR



Functional principle

Power supply and bus communication

DD/CFF

Packaging

The process pressure acts on the sensor element via the stainless steel diaphragm. The process pressure causes a resistance change which is converted into a corresponding output signal and outputted as measured value.

1)

Power is supplied via the H1 Fieldbus. A two-wire cable according to

Fieldbus specification serves as carrier of both power and digital data for multiple sensors. This cable can be operated in two versions: l l via an H1 interface card in the control system and additional power supply via a Linking device with HSE (High speed Ethernet) and additional power supply according to IEC 61158-2

The DD (Device Descriptions) and CFF (capability files) necessary for planning and configuration of your FF (Foundation Fieldbus) communication network are available in the download area of the VEGA homepage www.vega.com under "S

ervices - Downloads - Software -

Foundation Fieldbus". The appropriate certificates are also available there. A CD with the appropriate files and certificates can be ordered via e-mail under [email protected] or by phone from one of the VEGA agencies under the order number "DRIVER.S".

The backlight of the indicating and adjustment module is powered by the sensor. Prerequisite is a certain level of operating voltage.

The data for power supply are specified in chapter "Technical data".

The optional heating requires its own operating voltage. You can find details in the supplementary instructions manual "Heating for indicat-

ing and adjustment module".

This function is generally not available for approved instruments.

3 .3 Configuration

The instrument can be adjusted with the following adjustment media: l l l with indicating and adjustment module with the suitable VEGA DTM in conjunction with an adjustment software according to the FDT/DTM standard, e.g. PACTware and

PC a configuration tool

3 .4 Packaging, transport and storage

The device was protected by packaging during transport. Its capacity to handle normal loads during transport is assured by a test according to DIN EN 24180.

4 .1 General instructions

Make sure that all parts of the instrument exposed to the process, in particular the sensor element, process seal and process fitting, are suitable for the existing process conditions. These include above all the process pressure, process temperature as well as the chemical properties of the medium.

You can find the specifications in chapter "Technical data" or on the type label.

To protect the diaphragm, the process fitting is covered by a protective cap.

Remove the protective cap just before installation so that the diaphragm will not get damaged. It is recommended to keep the cap and use it again later for storage or transport.

Select an installation position you can easily reach for mounting and connecting as well as later retrofitting of an indicating and adjustment module. The housing can be rotated by 330° without the use of any tools. You can also install the indicating and adjustment module in four different positions (each displaced by 90°).

Use the recommended cables (see chapter "Connecting to power

supply") and tighten the cable gland.

You can give your instrument additional protection against moisture penetration by leading the connection cable downward in front of the cable entry. Rain and condensation water can thus drain off. This applies mainly to outdoor mounting as well as installation in areas where high humidity is expected (e.g. through cleaning processes) or on cooled or heated vessels.

Caution:

Due to the filter effect, the pressure compensation is time delayed.

When opening/closing the housing cover quickly, the measured value can change for a period of approx. 5 s by up to 15 mbar.

Information:

Make sure that the filter element is always free of buildup during operation. A high-pressure cleaner may not be used for cleaning.

With instrument versions in protection IP 66/IP 68, 1 bar, the ventilation is realised via the capillaries in the permanently connected cable. The filter element is replaced by a blind stopper.

Higher process temperatures often mean also higher ambient temperatures. Make sure that the upper temperature limits stated in chapter "Technical data" for the environment of the electronics housing and connection cable are not exceeded.

Cable gland ½ NPT

5 Connecting to power supply

5 .1 Preparing the connection

Always keep in mind the following safety instructions: l l

Connect only in the complete absence of line voltage

If overvoltage surges are expected, overvoltage arresters should be installed according to Foundation Fieldbus specification

Tip:

We recommend VEGA overvoltage arrester B63-32.

In hazardous areas you must take note of the respective regulations, conformity and type approval certificates of the sensors and power supply units.

The instrument requires a operating voltage of 9 … 32 V DC.

Operating voltage and the digital bus signal are carried on the same two-wire connection cable. Power is supplied via the H1 power supply.

Connection is carried out with screened cable according to Fieldbus specification.

Use cable with round cross-section. A cable outer diameter of 5 … 9 mm

(0.2 … 0.35 in) ensures the seal effect of the cable gland. If you are using cable with a different diameter or cross-section, exchange the seal or use a suitable cable gland.

Make sure that the entire installation is carried out according to the

Fieldbus specification. In particular, make sure that the bus is terminated with suitable terminating resistors.

On the instrument with cable entry ½ NPT and plastic housing there is a metallic ½" threaded insert moulded into the plastic housing.

Caution:

No grease should be used when screwing the NPT cable gland or steel tube into the threaded insert. Standard grease can contain additives that corrode the connection between threaded insert and housing. This would influence the stability of the connection and the tightness of the housing.

Cable screening and grounding

In systems with potential equalisation, connect the cable screen directly to ground potential at the power supply unit, in the connection box and at the sensor. The screen in the sensor must be connected directly to the internal ground terminal. The ground terminal outside on the housing must be connected to the potential equalisation (low impedance).

18

VEGABAR



In systems without potential equalisation, connect the cable screen directly to ground potential at the power supply unit and at the sensor.

In the connection box or T-distributor, the screen of the short stub to the sensor must not be connected to ground potential or to another cable screen. The cable screens to the power supply unit and to the next distributor must be connected to each other and also connected to ground potential via a ceramic capacitor (e.g. 1 nF, 1500 V). Lowfrequency potential equalisation currents are thus suppressed, but the protective effect against high frequency interference signals remains.

The total capacitance of the cable and of all capacitors must not exceed

10 nF in Ex applications.

Take note of the corresponding installation regulations for Ex applications. In particular, make sure that no potential equalisation currents flow over the cable screen. In case of grounding on both sides this can be achieved by the use of a capacitor or a separate potential equalisation.

3

Carry out min. adjustment

4

Carry out max. adjustment

In the menu item "Adjustment unit" you select the physical unit in which the adjustment should be carried out, e.g. mbar, bar, psi…

The position correction compensates the influence of the mounting position or static pressure on the measurement. It does not influence the adjustment values.

Information:

The steps 1, 3 and 4 are not necessary for instruments which are already preset according to customer specifications!

You can find the data on the type label on the instrument or in the menu items of the min./max. adjustment.

The indicating and adjustment module enables the adjustmetn without filling or pressure. Thanks to this, you can carry out your settings already in the factory without the instrument having to be installed.

The actual measured value is also displayed in the menu items for min./max. adjustment.

8 Maintenance and fault rectification

8 .1 Maintenance

If the instrument is used properly, no special maintenance is required in normal operation.

In some applications, product buildup on the diaphragm can influence the measuring result. Depending on the sensor and application, take precautions to ensure that heavy buildup, and especially a hardening thereof, is avoided.

If necessary, clean the diaphragm. Make sure that the materials are resistant to the cleaning process, see resistance list under "Services" on "www.vega.com". The wide variety of applications of isolating diaphragms makes special cleaning instructions necessary for each application. Please ask the VEGA agency serving you.

Caution:

Never clean the separating diaphragm mechanical, for example with tools when using instruments with isolating diaphragms! This can damage the diaphragm and filling oil can penetrate.

Reaction when malfunctions occur

8 .2 Fault rectification

The operator of the system is responsible for taking suitable measures to rectify faults.

Causes of faults

Fault rectification

l l l l

VEGABAR

51 offers maximum reliability. Nevertheless, faults can occur during operation. These may be caused by the following, e.g.:

Sensor

Process

Voltage supply

Signal processing

The first measures to be taken are to check the output signals as well as to evaluate the error messages via the indicating and adjustment module. The procedure is described below. Further comprehensive diagnostics can be carried out on a PC with the software PACTware and the suitable DTM. In many cases, the causes can be determined and the faults rectified this way.

24 hour service hotline

Should these measures not be successful, please call in urgent cases the VEGA service hotline under the phone no. +49 1805 858550.
