  • Page 4: Product Description

    Principle of operation Application area RS232 interface The RS232 interface is particularly suitable for easy modem connec- tion for remote enquiry of measured values. For this purpose, external analogue, ISDN and GSM modems can be used. Ethernet interface With the Ethernet interface, instruments can be connected directly to an existing PC network. Each instrument is assigned its own IP ad- dress at which it can be accessed from anywhere in the network. Adjustment To adjust the instrument, the configuration software PACTware and a suitable instrument driver (DTM) according to FDT standard are required. In addition, the DTMs can be integrated in other frame ap- plications according to FDT standard. As an alternative, adjustment of the basic functions is possible via the integrated indicating and adjustment module. All device DTMs from VEGA are available as a free-of-charge standard version and as a full version that must be purchased. In the standard version, all functions for complete setup are already included. An assistent for simple project configuration simplifies the adjustment considerably. Saving/printing the project as well as import/ export functions are also part of the standard version. In the full version there is also an extended print function for complete project documentation as well as a save function for measured value and echo curves. In addition, there is a tank calculation program as well as a multiviewer for display and analysis of the saved measured value and echo curves. The standard version is available as a free-of-charge download under http://www.vega.com. The full version is available on CD from the agency serving you. The licence regulations allow you to copy a VEGA DTM any number of times and use it on any number of computers, as long as you are using the standard version. The full version must be bought sepa- rately per computer and installation.

    2 Connection Connection Connection requirements First of all, the connection to power supply and sensor must be car- ried out as described in the respective operating instructions manual. Connection to PC/network/modem Depending on the application, the connection is made via the optional RS232 or Ethernet interface. Alternatively, the built-in I²C or USB interface can be used for parameter adjustment depending on the instrument type. Details about the interface connection can be found in the respective operating instructions of the instrument. RS232/Ethernet connection • VEGAMET 391/624/625, VEGASCAN 693, PLICSRADIO C62...

  • Page 6: Network Settings

    If no DHCP server is available (e.g. when connecting directly to a PC via cross-over cable) or automatic addressing is not wanted, the IP addresses are entered manually in each instrument. Your responsible network administrator provides a corresponding IP address with suit- able subnet mask. Subnet mask The subnet mask together with the IP-address determines which network segment the instrument should belong to. Standard gateway A gateway connects individual network segments – data traffic can thus be forwarded to destinations outside the local network segment. Entry of a gateway address is only required when manually assigning an address and for large networks. Host name With automatic addressing via DHCP, it is necessary to assign a host name because the IP address is generally not known or can change. By default, the host name consists of the serial number plus "VEGA-" in front. Anything can be entered as a host name, for example the name of the measurement loop or the plant. The host name must only include letters and numbers without spaces. Only the hyphen "-" is al- lowed as a special character. The first character must be a letter. The host name can have a maximum of 16 characters. DNS server The DNS server is responsible for assigning the IP address and the host name. This is particularly important with automatic addressing because network devices are accessed via the host name. Entry of a DNS server address is only required with manual addressing RS232/Ethernet connection • VEGAMET 391/624/625, VEGASCAN 693, PLICSRADIO C62...

    With complex device structures With complex device structures, the connection is carried out via the VEGA project assistant. The VEGA project assistant is a manufactur- er-specific extension module for PACTware. It is part of each VEGA DTM installation package and is installed automatically. By means of the VEGA project assistant, the connected instruments are identified automatically and integrated into the PACTware project. For this, only an online connection to the respective instruments is necessary. The VEGA project assistant is opened from the PACTware menu bar under "Project - VEGA project assistant". The window "VEGA project assistant" opens and you only have to select the requested inter- face for automatic generation of the project. If only one instrument is connected to the selected interface, the DTM parameter adjustment window will be opened automatically and the device data loaded. You can find further information on how to use the VEGA project assistant in the corresponding online help. The online help can be opened directly from the window "VEGA project assistant".

    5 Application examples Application examples Possible application areas • VMI (Vendor Managed Inventory) • Stock management of a tank farm via network and web browser • Automatic transmission of levels, thresholds and fault messages via e-mail or SMS • Remote enquiry of several tank farms via modem • Measured value enquiry via Modbus-TCP • Measured value enquiry via ACSII protocol • Read out of measured value files via http Inventory enquiry via network and browser Requirement The stock of a tank farm should be measured and monitored continu- ously. The measured values should be available to the scheduler and the sales department. In addition, a message should be triggered automatically if a level drops below a certain value. Solution One or more signal conditioning instruments with Ethernet interface enquire the respective sensors cyclically. The measured values are processed in the signal conditioning instrument and transferred in the requested form and unit to the integrated web server. The measured values can now be displayed on the computer of every user in the company network. In addition, the required minimum quantity is en- tered for each vessel. An e-mail is sent to the appropriate person via the company-internal mail system if a level falls below a certain value.

    5 Application examples • Input of IP address/Host name, date/time on the signal condition- ing instrument • Installation of PACTware and DTMs on individual network PC • Parameter adjustment of the sensors (e.g. false echo memory) via PACTware • Parameter adjustment of the signal conditioning instrument (adjustment, scaling, linearization) via PACTware • Setup of the web and e-mail server • Indication of measured values via web browser by entering the Host name/IP address of the signal conditioning instrument Inventory enquiry/VMI via WEB-VV A supplier would like to keep track of the tank stock levels of his Requirement customers and replenish them on his own whenever necessary. Via a display that is updated several times daily, he has access to the level data of the previous days or weeks. The supplier can thus assess the requirements/consumption of his customers and plan his deliveries accordingly. This allows him to do anticipatory purchasing and also better utilize the capacity of his truck fleet. In addition, a message should be sent if the level in any tank falls below a certain predefined minimum value. Using this method, the supplier can always guaran- tee his customers a sufficient supply of raw materials for production without their having to bother with purchasing and ordering. And he has the added benefit of long-term customer retention and continu- ous orders. RS232/Ethernet connection • VEGAMET 391/624/625, VEGASCAN 693, PLICSRADIO C62...
  • Page 14 5 Application examples Fig. 5: Remote enquiry via WEB-VV Solution A signal conditioning instrument with serial interface and modem (conventional telephone network or GSM) is installed at each cus- tomer. The measured values are transmitted automatically from each signal conditioning instrument to the central WEB-VV server at VEGA. As an alternative, the measured value transmission can be also car- ried out via the Ethernet interface and the existing company network. The measured values can now be retrieved worldwide quickly and easily by any number of (authorized) persons via Internet and web browser. The current measured values as well as the history data are available as a line graph. A certain alarm threshold can be defined for each measurement loop. If a level falls below a predetermined value, an e-mail or SMS can be sent to certain persons. RS232/Ethernet connection • VEGAMET 391/624/625, VEGASCAN 693, PLICSRADIO C62...

  • Page 15: Pc/Dcs Values

    6 PC/DCS values PC/DCS values General information PC/DCS outputs are used as digital outputs for transmission of meas- ured value information. The data can be transmitted to a superordi- nate PC, DCS or processing system via the RS232/Ethernet interface. The values can be sent e.g. as e-mail or read out via Modbus TCP in case of an existing Ethernet interface. The HTML pages of the signal conditioning instrument also show the measured values of the PC/ DCS outputs. The adjustment of the data format and the reference value is carried out with PACTware and the corresponding DTM. In the parameter adjustment page "PC/DCS" the reference value and the data format are selected; in addition, the option "In case of error: transmit error code instead of measured value" can be activated. Reference value With the reference value you determine which measured value is used as input signal for the PC/DCS output. The following reference values are available depending on the instrument: • Sensor value • Percent • Lin. percent • Scaled • Totalizer With "Data format", the format of the PC/DCS value is determined.

Fig. 6: Measured value indication by means of Internet Explorer Measured value enquiry via web browser/ RS232 Measured value enquiry via RS232 interface and PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is used if no internal company network or other direct con- nection is available. PPP is a transmission standard for serial connec- tion between two computers (points). A dial-up line (telephone line) with a modem is usually used for this. Measured value enquiry by means of web browser is a dial-in connec- tion. The signal conditioning instrument accepts an incoming call and reacts to the calling host like an Internet Service Provider (ISP). This allows data exchange with the signal conditioning instrument via http.

A message can also be sent via e-mail in case a certain level is exceeded or underrun. Status-controlled E-mail transmission is also possible, e.g. in case of a fault signal. There are two different ways to send e-mails: • Transmission via internal company network and mail server (option Ethernet interface) • Transmission via dial-up connection with modem and external Internet/e-mail provider (option RS232 interface) Both options and their different application areas are explained more detailled in the following subchapters and the online help. Clock With the time-controlled transmission of e-mails, the current time must be available. For this purpose, there is a buffered clock in the signal conditioning instrument. Via the DTM menu item "Date/Time", you can set the date and time. Via the button "Accept PC system time", the current PC system time and the date are taken over in the fields "Time" and "Date". Via the button "Write data in device", the time set in the DTM is written into the device. Both buttons are only available in online mode. Note: In case of power loss, the time is backed up by battery for a certain period (at least a few days, depending on instrument type); in case of a long interruption of the power supply, the time must be reset!

The system administrator must create an e-mail address on the mail server from which the measured values, messages and failures are sent. The names or IP addresses of the mail server for inbox and outbox must also be provided by the system administrator. If user name and password are required by the mail server, these must also be entered. Note: Some mail servers are configured in such a way that the password expires after a certain and must be reedited. If possible, have this function deactivated otherwise you have to reedit the passwords in the set cycle and transfer them to the signal conditioning instrument. Configuration of the e-mail account Here you can enter a name which should be displayed instead of the Name (alias) e-mail address. The name is for a better readability at the addressee because the real account name is using from time to time a not very meaningful expression. E-mail address The e-mail address constitutes the actual account name that is set up for the signal conditioning instrument on the mail server. If no alias is given, this address is shown to the addressee as the sender of the e-mail. Answering address Since the signal conditioning instrument cannot receive e-mails, there is the possibility to state an alternative e-mail address. An answering mail is sent to this address if the addressee is answering to the e-mail of the signal conditioning instrument. Configuration of the e-mail server Address of the outbox Enter the name of the outbox server provided by the system adminis- server (SMTP) trator. Alternatively, its IP address can also be entered.

  • Page 33 9 Measured value transmission to a WEB-VV server as parameterisation of the signal conditioning instrument/sensor to be carried out or changed from a distant location. A MoRoS with integrated modem is used for connection to the Internet. The built-in router takes over dialing into the Internet. The device also contains a 4-port switch for direct connection to up to four signal conditioning instruments with Ethernet connection. More signal conditioning instruments can be connected via an additional external switch. The choice of the modem integrated in the MoRoS depends on the lo- cal conditions. If a telephone connection (analogue or ISDN) is avail- able on site, the analogue (PSTN) or ISDN modem is the simplest choice. Alternatively, a wireless modem is used when no telephone connection exists; the data transmission is carried out in this case via GSM or GPRS. For cost reasons transmission via GPRS is recom- mended, as charges are based on the transmitted volume. The following MoRoS versions are available: • MoRoS with PSTN modem, art. no.: ROUTER.AXX • MoRoS with ISDN modem, art. no.: ROUTER.IXX • MoRoS with GSM/GPRS modem, art. no.: ROUTER.GXX To access the Internet, access data from an Internet service provider (ISP) must be obtained. These data are entered via Web browser into the MoRoS. A SIM card is additionally required when GSM or GPRS is implemented. The MoRoS has the standard IP address 192.168.1.1. Since it is an independent network that is involved here, this address should not be changed. Every connected signal conditioning instrument must be assigned a unique address from the same address range, e.g. 192.168.1.2 for the first signal conditioning instrument, 192.168.1.3 for the second, etc. Signal conditioning instrument with MoRoS/PSTN/ISDN modem Prerequisites for setup: •...

    9 Measured value transmission to a WEB-VV server Signal conditioning instrument (Ethernet) in This alternative is used if a company network with internet access is available. Any number of signal conditioning instruments can be connected to WEB-VV. The signal conditioning instruments must be equipped with the Ethernet interface option. When addressing is done via DHCP, a suitable Host name should be assigned. As an alterna- tive, a unique IP address suitable to the network can be assigned. You can find further information in chapter "Network settings". Prerequisites for setup: • PC with PACTware and suitable DTM as well as access to the signal conditioning instrument via VEGACONNECT or LAN • Subnet mask, standard gateway and DNS server dof the company network • http port 80 must be activated for an Internet connection Start PACTware and make a connection to the signal conditioning instrument. Select the menu item "Instrument settings - LAN/Internet". Carry out the following steps as shown in the following illustrations. 1. Give every signal conditioning instrument a unique IP address that you have received from your responsible network administra- tor. The subnet mask matching your network and the standard gateway also come from your network administrator. Alternatively, you can use the DHCP function if a DHCP server is available in your network. Fig. 21: Allocate IP address 2. Enter the IP address of your DNS server under "Instrument set- tings - DNS Server".
  • Page 37 9 Measured value transmission to a WEB-VV server Fig. 22: Allocate DNS address 3. A proxy server is usually a computer connected between the sig- nal conditioning instrument and the Internet. With a proxy server it is possible to check and limit the access of the signal conditioning instrument to the Internet. Such access of the signal condition- ing instrument to the Internet is, for example, carried out when there is a WEB-VV data transmission. To ensure that these data are transmitted via the existing proxy server, the settings shown below must be made in the signal conditioning instrument. Your network administrator knows if the Internet access should be carried out via a proxy. He will also provide the necessary infor- mation such as IP address, port, user name and password.

Connect your PC via Patchkabel with one of the four Ethernet ports on the front side of the MoRoS. In order to establish a connection, the PC must be able to obtain an IP address from the MoRoS automatically (DHCP). Alternatively, a fixed IP address can be used if it lies in the same address range of the MoRoS (192.168.1. xxx). You can get further information also from the operating instructions manual of the MoRoS.

A GSM modem and a conventional telephone network modem are available for the analogue telephone connection. To send an SMS, the signal conditioning instrument dials into an SMS Service Center (SMSC): Via this SMS Service Center the SMS is the transferred to the subscriber (e.g. mobile phone). Note: To set up the SMS function, PACTware with the corresponding DTMs is required. 11.2 Settings for SMS transmission Open the suitable DTM in PACTware and select the menu item "Device settings - SMS" for configuration of the SMS function. As basic setting, the connected modem and the requested SMS provider (SMSC) are selected. Modem If the SMS should be transmitted via the conventional telecommuni- cation network, you will need an analogue telephone connection with direct outward dialing and the Phoenix Contact PSI data/fax modem (order no.: MODEM.JX) If transmission is made via GSM, the Siemens TC35i GSM cellular phone modem must be used (order no.: MODEM.FX).

    12 Device trend/Data logger (only VEGAMET/VEGASCAN) 12 Device trend/Data logger (only VEGAMET/ VEGASCAN) 12.1 General information With the device recording the measured values of a VEGA instrument can be monitored. There are two options for trend recording: Device trend The data are saved over a certain period in the VEGA instrument and can be read out again later on. Via PACTware and DTM different recording conditions can be set and the process can be started or stopped. The max. recording period is limited by the memory of the signal conditioning instrument. The max. recording period differs de- pending on the recording type (interval or measured value difference). When recording with interval, a maximum of 200 000 measured val- ues can be recorded, when recording with measured value difference, the maximum is reduced to 140 000. If a measured value is saved every minute, a period of e.g. 138 days results (with measured value difference). If more than one curve is recorded, this period is reduced accordingly. Note: The recorded data are written in a period of two to five minutes from the internal RAM to a flash disk. In case of voltage failure, recordings of the last minutes can get lost. DTM trend The data are only saved on the PC during an online connection with PACTware and DTM. The max. recording period is limited only by the storage space on the hard disc. 12.2 Setting of the device trend The settings are carried out in the DTM under the menu item "Diag-...

  • Page 60: Start Of The Recording

    12 Device trend/Data logger (only VEGAMET/VEGASCAN) Start/Stop conditions To enable a specific monitoring, the start and stop conditions can be set for the recording in dependence on the current measured value. If a start condition is met, the recording starts in the VEGA instrument. The current recording stops as soon as the stop condition is reached. If the start condition is fulfilled again, the recording does not switch on again. The recording can be stopped automatically if the memory in the VEGA instrument is full. Select the option "Stop recording when memory is full". If this option is selected, the older measured values will be overwritten automatically (ring buffer). 12.3 Start of the recording After having adjusted the recording mode and the start/stop condi- tions, these settings have to be transferred to the VEGA instrument ("Device data - Save in device"). Activate the trend recording by push- ing the button "Start recording". The current utilisation of the memory and the number of recorded measured values is now displayed under "Status". Modification of the recording conditions is not possible dur- ing a recording. 12.4 Load recording from device Retrieval of the recorded measured values can be carried out via PACTware/DTM, http or e-mail.

  • Page 61 12 Device trend/Data logger (only VEGAMET/VEGASCAN) Information: The presentation of large recordings can take a long time depend- ing on the number of curves, the interface and the retrieval method. Reading out via Ethernet is much quicker than via RS232. Display via http is also much quicker than via the DTM. When transmitting device trends via e-mail, the same files as for http Transmission via e-mail data retrieval are used. In the e-mail configuration assistant you can select and configure the respective curves and formats.
