VEGASCAN 693 - 15-channel HART signal conditioning instrument

7.1 Connecting the PC
For temporary connection of the PC, e.g. for parameter
adjustment, the connection can be made via the interface
converter VEGACONNECT. The necessary I²C interface in the
front of VEGASCAN 693 is available with all instrument
versions. On the computer, connection is made via the RS232
interface. If this is not available on your PC or already
occupied, it is also possible to use a USB - RS232 adapter (e.
g. article no. 2.26900).
Note:
Also for communication with the sensor, connection must
always be made via the signal conditioning instrument. The
connection of VEGACONNECT or a HART modem directly to
the 4 ... 20 mA sensor cable is not possible.

VEGASCAN 693
Via the RS232 interface, direct parameter adjustment and
measured value enquiry of the instrument can be carried out
via PACTware™. Use the RS232 modem connection cable
that is supplied with the instrument and an additionally
connected interlink cable (e.g. article no. LOG571.17347). To
reduce EMC interference, you should mount the supplied
ferrite bead on the RS232 modem connection cable.
