Radar Level Measurement with VEGAPULS

Radar level measurement raised to new heights The optimised VEGAPULS instrument series is making radar level measurement technology even more versatile and reliable! The completely redeveloped electronics enables faster, more accurate and intelligent signal evaluation, with improved antenna systems and additional housing versions to round out the series. Now demanding application areas such as the chemical, petrochemical, bulk solids and power generation industries can benefit even more from the advantages of using non-contact VEGA radar for level measurement. Higher definition Intelligent echo...

New high temperature version of VEGAPULS 62/68 with antenna coupling of Al2O3 ceramic and graphite process seal for a temperature range of -200 ... +450 °C and a process pressure of up to 160 bar New intelligence: the high-performance electronics Through faster hardware and “intelligent” signal evaluation, VEGAPULS reaches a new level of quality in radar signal analysis. Detection of the level echo movement improves the differentiation of wanted and unwanted signals. For the user, this means higher measuring certainty and increased reliability, even in the most critical applications. 3

New ease of operation and integration Setup and commissioning: simpler than ever Re-engineered PLICSCOM When setting up and commissioning the instrument, standard for all VEGA sensors, has been completely the user only has to select a few application reworked and optimised. With the redesigned membrane parameters. The software takes care of the rest keyboard, operation is even more convenient for the user. and configures itself optimally. Through this, initial The new tree structure of the menu makes setup and operation is simplified and measurement reliability commissioning clear and simple....

New downwardly compatible DTMs according to the DTM Style Guide All the new VEGA DTMs were developed according to the DTM Style Guide. Thus, they meet customer demands for a consistent adjustment interface. As you would expect from VEGA, the new DTMs are also downwardly compatible, so that older-generation instruments can also be adjusted with them. In addition, there are EDDs available with a comparable visual appearance and quality for adjustment and commissioning. VEGA instruments can therefore be uniformly and universally operated – regardless of the adjustment tool or process control system...

Everything under control in servicing and asset management Simple retrofit to the newest intelligence Well thought out: connection and exchange of electronics The electronics module of the new VEGAPULS New, removable spring-loaded terminals in the generation is fully backwards compatible with electronics allow connection of the instrument instruments already installed. With it, existing without tools. Moreover, it is possible to exchange sensors can be quickly and simply raised to the the electronics without disconnecting the cables. new technology and safety levels. The removable spring-loaded...

Integrated functions for asset management Functions for preventive maintenance For preventive maintenance, the new electronics of ▪ Clear text indication of instrument status VEGAPULS delivers automatically standardised status messages according to NE 107 or VDI/VDE 2650. Detailed information on maintenance requirements, unsafe signal status or malfunctions are shown in clear text by PLICSCOM and transferred digitally to the control system via HART, Profibus PA or Foundation Fieldbus. ▪ Extensive data logger for measured values, events and diagnoses with details on date and time ▪ Echo curve...
