Approvals
Instruments with approvals can have dierent technical specications depending on the version.
For that reason the associated approval documents of these instruments have to be carefully
noted. They are part of the delivery or can be downloaded under www.vega.com, "VEGATools"
and "Instrument search" as well as in the download area.
11.2 CommunicationProbusPA
Instrumentmasterle
The instrument master le (GSD) contains the characteristic data of the Probus PA instrument.
These data are, e.g. the permissible transmission rates as well as information on diagnostics values
and the format of the measured value outputted by the PA instrument.
A bitmap le is also provided for the Probus network planning tool. This le is installed automati-
cally when the GSD le is integrated. The bitmap le is used for symbolic indication of the PA instru-
ment in the conguration tool.
ID number
Each Probus instrument gets an unambiguous ident number (ID number) from the Probus user
organisation (PNO). This ID number is also included in the name of the GSD le. Optionally in ad-
dition to this manufacturer-specic GSD le, PNO also provides a general so-called prole-specic
GSD le. If the general GSD le is used, the sensor must be set to the prole-specic ident number
via the DTM software. By default, the sensor operates with the manufacturer-specic ID number.
When using the instruments on a segment coupler SK-2 or SK-3, no special GSD les are required.
