.1
Overview
The sensors can be adjusted with the following adjustment me-
dia:
l
with indicating and adjustment module
l
an adjustment software according to FDT/DTM standard, e.g.
PACTware and PC
and, depending on the signal output, also with:
l
A HART handheld (4 … 20 mA/HART)
l
The adjustment program AMS (4 … 20 mA/HART and Foun-
dation Fieldbus)
l
The adjustment program PDM (Profibus PA)
l
A configuration tool (Foundation Fieldbus)
The entered parameters are generally saved in the sensor, op-
tionally also in the indicating and adjustment module or in the
adjustment program.

.2
Compatibility according to NAMUR NE 53
VEGABAR meet NAMUR recommendation NE 53. VEGA instru-
ments are generally upward and downward compatible:
l
Sensor software for DTM VEGABAR HART, PA or FF
l
DTM VEGABAR for adjustment software PACTware
l
Indicating and adjustment module PLICSCOM for sensor
software
The parameter adjustment of the basic sensor functions is inde-
pendent of the software version. The range of available functions
depends on the respective software version of the individual com-
ponents.

Adjustment with the indicating and adjust-
ment module PLICSCOM
Setup and indication
PLICSCOM is a pluggable indication and adjustment module for
plics
®
sensors. It can be placed in four different positions on the
instrument (each displaced by 90°). Indication and adjustment
are carried out via four keys and a clear, graphic-capable dot
matrix display. The adjustment menu with language selection is
clearly structured and enables easy setup. After setup,
PLICSCOM serves as indicating instrument: through the screwed
cover with glass insert, measured values can be read directly in
the requested unit and presentation style.
The integrated background lighting of the display can be switched
on via the adjustment menu.

Adjustment with PACTware
PACTware/DTM
Independent of the respective signal output 4 … 20 mA/HART,
Profibus PA or Foundation Fieldbus, the sensors can be adjusted
with PACTware directly on site. The sensors with signal output
4 … 20 mA/HART can be also operated via the HART signal on
the signal cable.
A VEGACONNECT interface adapter as well as an instrument
driver for the respective sensor is necessary for adjustment with
PACTware. All currently available VEGA DTMs are included as a
DTM Collection with the current PACTware version on a CD.
They can be purchased for a token fee from the responsible
VEGA agency. In addition, this DTM Collection incl. the basic
version of PACTware can be downloaded free of charge from
the Internet.
To use the entire range of functions of a DTM, incl. project doc-
umentation, a DTM licence is required for that particular instru-
