8 Setup with PACTware
POINTRAC 31 • 8/16 mA/HART - four-wire
43388-EN-180322
•
Voltage supply
Note:
With power supply units with integrated HART resistance (internal
resistanceapprox.250Ω),anadditionalexternalresistanceisnot
necessary. This applies, e.g. to the VEGA instruments VEGATRENN
149A, VEGAMET 381 and VEGAMET 391). Commercially available
Exseparatorsarealsousuallyequippedwithsucientcurrentlimita-
tion resistance. In such cases, VEGACONNECT 4 can be connected
parallel to the 4 … 20 mA cable.
8.2 Parameter adjustment with PACTware
For parameter adjustment of the sensor via a Windows PC, the con-
gurationsoftwarePACTwareandasuitableinstrumentdriver(DTM)
according to FDT standard are required. The up-to-date PACTware
version as well as all available DTMs are compiled in a DTM Collec-
tion. The DTMs can also be integrated into other frame applications
according to FDT standard.
Note:
To ensure that all instrument functions are supported, you should
always use the latest DTM Collection. Furthermore, not all described
functionsareincludedinolderrmwareversions.Youcandownload
the latest instrument software from our homepage. A description of
the update procedure is also available in the Internet.
Further setup steps are described in the operating instructions manu-
al "DTM Collection/PACTware" attached to each DTM Collection and
which can also be downloaded from the Internet. Detailed descrip-
tions are available in the online help of PACTware and the DTMs.
