6.4 Setup stepsAfter VEGAFLEX 67 is connected to voltage supply or after voltagerecurrence, the instrument carries out a self-check for approx. 30seconds. The following steps are carried out:l Internal check of the electronicsl Indication of the instrument type, the firmware as well as thesensor TAGs (sensor designation)l Status byte goes briefly to fault valueThen the current measured value will be displayed and thecorresponding digital output signal will be outputted to the cable.1)Before starting the actual parameter adjustment of a Profibus PAsensor, the address setting must first be carried out. You will find adetailed description in the operating instructions manual of theindicating and adjustment module or in the online help of PACTware orDTM.As VEGAFLEX 67 is a distance measuring instrument, the distancefrom the sensor to the product surface is measured. To have the realproduct level displayed, an allocation of the measured distance to thepercentage height must be made. To carry out this adjustment, thedistance is entered with full and empty vessel. If these values are notknown, an adjustment with the distance values, e.g. 10 % and 90 % isalso possible. Starting point for these distance specifications is alwaysthe seal surface of the thread or flange. With these settings, the reallevel is calculated. Furthermore the operating range of the sensor islimited from maximum to the required range.The real product level during this adjustment is not important, becausethe min./max. adjustment is always carried out without changing theproduct level. These settings can be made ahead of time without theinstrument having to be installed.In the main menu item "Basic adjustment", the individual submenuitems should be selected one after the other and provided with thecorrect parameter values.Start your parameter adjustment with the following menu items of thebasic adjustment:Proceed as follows:1 Move from the measured value display to the main menu bypushing [OK].1) The values correspond to the actual measured level as well as to the set-tings already carried out, e.g. default setting.Switch-on phaseAddress settingParameter adjustmentCarry out min. adjust-mentVEGAFLEX 67 • Profibus PA 256 Set up with the indicating and adjustment module PLICSCOM32313-EN-120329
