3.2 Principle of operation

Application area VEGASON 61 is an ultrasonic sensor for continuous level measure-
ment. It is suitable for liquids and solids in virtually all industries,
particularly in the water and waste water industry.

Functional principle The transducer of the ultrasonic sensor transmits short ultrasonic
pulses to the measured product. These pulses are reflected by
product surface and received back by the transducer as echoes.
The running time of the ultrasonic pulses from emission to reception
is proportional to the distance and hence the level. The determined
level is converted into an appropriate output signal and outputted as
measured value.

Power supply and bus Power is supplied via the H1 Fieldbus. A two-wire cable according to
communication Fieldbus specification serves as carrier of both power and digital data
for multiple sensors. This cable can be operated in two versions:
• via an H1 interface card in the control system and additional power
supply
• via a Linking device with HSE (High speed Ethernet) and addi-
tional power supply according to IEC 61158-2

DD/CFF The DD (Device Descriptions) and CFF (capability files) necessary

for planning and configuration of your FF (Foundation Fieldbus) com-
munication network are available in the download area of the VEGA
homepage www.vega.com. The appropriate certificates are also
available there. A CD with the appropriate files and certificates can be
ordered via e-mail under [email protected] or by phone from one of
the VEGA agencies under the order number "DRIVER.S".
The backlight of the display and adjustment module is powered by the
sensor. Prerequisite is a certain level of operating voltage.
The data for power supply are specified in chapter "Technical data".
28790-EN-190318

The optional heating requires its own operating voltage. You can find
further details in the supplementary instructions manual "Heating for
display and adjustment module".
This function is generally not available for approved instruments.

4.1 General instructions
Suitability for the process Make sure that all parts of the instrument coming in direct contact
conditions with the process, especially the sensor element, process seal and
process fitting, are suitable for the existing process conditions, such
as process pressure, process temperature as well as the chemical
properties of the medium.
You can find the specifications in chapter "Technical data" and on the
nameplate.

Suitability for the ambient The instrument is suitable for standard and extended ambient condi-
conditions tions acc. to DIN/EN/IEC/ANSI/ISA/UL/CSA 61010-1.

Installation position Select an installation position you can easily reach for mounting and
connecting as well as later retrofitting of a display and adjustment
module. The housing can be rotated by 330° without the use of any
tools. You can also install the display and adjustment module in four
different positions (each displaced by 90°).

Moisture Use the recommended cables (see chapter "Connecting to power

supply") and tighten the cable gland.
You can give your instrument additional protection against moisture
penetration by leading the connection cable downward in front of the
cable gland. Rain and condensation water can thus drain off. This
applies mainly to outdoor mounting as well as installation in areas
where high humidity is expected (e.g. through cleaning processes) or
on cooled or heated vessels.
To maintain the housing protection, make sure that the housing lid is
closed during operation and locked, if necessary.
Make sure that the degree of contamination specified in chapter
"Technical data" meets the existing ambient conditions.

Cable entries - NPT Metric threads

thread In the case of instrument housings with metric thread, the cable
Cable glands glands are screwed in at the factory. They are sealed with plastic
plugs as transport protection.
You have to remove these plugs before electrical connection.

 4 Mounting

NPT thread
In the case of instrument housings with self-sealing NPT threads, it is
not possible to have the cable entries screwed in at the factory. The
free openings for the cable glands are therefore covered with red dust
protection caps as transport protection.
Prior to setup you have to replace these protective caps with ap-
proved cable glands or close the openings with suitable blind plugs.

Reference plane for The reference plane for the measuring range is the lower edge of the
measuring range transducer.
Make sure that a minimum distance from the reference plane - the
so-called dead zone, in which measurement is not possible - is
maintained. The exact value of the dead zone is stated in chapter
"Technical data".

Pressure/Vacuum Gauge pressure in the vessel does not influence VEGASON 61. Low
pressure or vacuum does, however, damp the ultrasonic pulses. This
influences the measuring result, particularly if the level is very low.
With pressures under -0.2 bar (-20 kPa) you should use a different
measuring principle, e.g. radar or guided radar (TDR).

4.2 Mounting instructions

Screwing in Screw VEGASON 61 into the mounting socket with an appropriate
spanner applied to the hexagon of the process fitting. Max. torque see
chapter "Technical data".
Warning:
The housing must not be used to screw the instrument in! Applying
tightening force can damage internal parts of the housing.

Installation position When mounting the sensor, keep a distance of at least 200 mm
(7.874 in) to the vessel wall. If the sensor is installed in the center of
dished or round vessel tops, multiple echoes can arise. These can,
however, be suppressed by an appropriate adjustment (see chapter
"Setup").

> 200 mm

Fig. 5: Mounting on round vessel tops

1 Reference plane
2 Vessel center or symmetry axis

If this distance cannot be maintained, a false signal suppression

should be carried out during setup. This applies particularly if buildup
on the vessel wall is expected. In such cases, we recommend repeat-
ing the false signal suppression at a later date with existing buildup.
In vessels with conical bottom it can be advantageous to mount the
sensor in the centre of the vessel, as measurement is then possible
down to the bottom.

Mounting socket Socket pieces should be dimensioned so that the lower end of the
transducer protrudes at least 10 mm (0.394 in) out of the socket.

ca. 10 mm

Fig. 7: Recommended socket mounting

If the reflective properties of the medium are good, you can mount
VEGASON 61 on sockets which are higher than the length of the
transducer. You will find recommended values for socket heights in the
following illustration. The socket end should be smooth and burr-free,
if possible also rounded. Carry out a false signal suppression.

Sensor orientation In liquids, direct the sensor as perpendicular as possible to the prod-
uct surface to achieve optimum measurement results.

Fig. 9: Alignment in liquids

To reduce the min. distance to the medium, you can also mount VE-
GASON 61 with a beam deflector. By doing this, it is possible to fill the
vessel nearly to maximum. Such an arrangement is suitable primarily
for open vessels such as e.g. overflow basins.

Fig. 10: Beam deflector

Vessel installations The ultrasonic sensor should be installed at a location where no

installations cross the ultrasonic beam.
Vessel installations such as for example, ladders, limit switches, heat-
ing spirals, struts etc. can cause false echoes that interfere with the
useful echo. Make sure when planning your measuring site that the
28790-EN-190318

ultrasonic signals have a "clear view" to the measured product.

In case of existing vessel installations, a false signal suppression
should be carried out during setup.

16 VEGASON 61 • Foundation Fieldbus

 4 Mounting

If large vessel installations such as struts or supports cause false

echoes, these can be attenuated through supplementary measures.
Small, inclined sheet metal or plastic baffles above the installations
scatter the ultrasonic signals and avoid direct false echoes.

Agitators If there are agitators in the vessel, a false signal suppression should
be carried out with the agitators in motion. This ensures that the
interfering reflections from the agitators are saved with the blades in
different positions.

Fig. 12: Agitators

Inflowing medium Do not mount the instruments in or above the filling stream. Make sure
that you detect the product surface, not the inflowing product.

Fig. 13: Inflowing liquid

Foam Through the action of filling, stirring and other processes in the vessel,
dense foams which considerably damp the emitted signals may form
on the product surface.
If foams are causing measurement errors, the sensor should be used
in a standpipe or, alternatively, the more suitable guided radar sen-
sors (TDR) should be used.
Guided wave radar is unaffected by foam generation and is particu-
larly suitable for such applications.

Air turbulences If there are strong air currents in the vessel, e.g. due to strong winds
in outdoor installations or air turbulence, e.g. by cyclone extraction
you should mount VEGASON 61 in a standpipe or use a different
measuring principle, e.g. radar or guided radar (TDR).

Standpipe measurement By using a standpipe (surge or bypass tube), the influence of vessel
installations, foam generation and turbulence is excluded.
Standpipes must extend all the way down to the requested min. level,
as measurement is only possible within the tube.

5 Connecting to power supply

5.1 Preparing the connection
Safety instructions Always keep in mind the following safety instructions:
Warning:
Connect only in the complete absence of line voltage.

• The electrical connection must only be carried out by trained,

qualified personnel authorised by the plant operator.
• If overvoltage surges are expected, overvoltage arresters should
be installed.

Voltage supply The instrument requires a operating voltage of 9 … 32 V DC. Operat-

ing voltage and the digital bus signal are carried on the same two-wire
connection cable. Power is supplied via the H1 power supply.

Connection cable Connection is carried out with screened cable according to Fieldbus
specification.
Make sure that the cable used has the required temperature resist-
ance and fire safety for max. occurring ambient temperature
Use cable with round cross section for instruments with housing and
cable gland. To ensure the seal effect of the cable gland (IP protection
rating), find out which cable outer diameter the cable gland is suitable
for.
Use a cable gland fitting the cable diameter.
Make sure that the entire installation is carried out according to the
Fieldbus specification. In particular, make sure that the bus is termi-
nated with suitable terminating resistors.
Caution:
No grease should be used when screwing the NPT cable gland or
steel tube into the threaded insert. Standard grease can contain
additives that corrode the connection between threaded insert and
housing. This would influence the stability of the connection and the
tightness of the housing.

Cable screening and In systems with potential equalisation, connect the cable screen
grounding directly to ground potential at the power supply unit, in the connection
box and at the sensor. The screen in the sensor must be connected
directly to the internal ground terminal. The ground terminal outside
on the housing must be connected to the potential equalisation (low
impedance).
In systems without potential equalisation, connect the cable screen
directly to ground potential at the power supply unit and at the sensor.
In the connection box or T-distributor, the screening of the short stub
28790-EN-190318

to the sensor must not be connected to ground potential or to another

cable screen. The cable screens to the power supply unit and to the
next distributor must be connected to each other and also connected
to ground potential via a ceramic capacitor (e.g. 1 nF, 1500 V). The
low frequency potential equalisation currents are thus suppressed,

20 VEGASON 61 • Foundation Fieldbus

 5 Connecting to power supply

but the protective effect against high frequency interference signals

remains.
The total capacitance of the cable and of all capacitors must not
exceed 10 nF in Ex applications.
Take note of the corresponding installation regulations for Ex applica-
tions. In particular, make sure that no potential equalisation currents
flow over the cable screen. In case of grounding on both sides this
can be achieved by the use of a capacitor or a separate potential
equalisation.

5.2 Connection procedure

Proceed as follows:
1. Unscrew the housing lid
2. If a display and adjustment module is installed, remove it by turn-
ing it to the left
3. Loosen compression nut of the cable gland and remove blind
plug
4. Remove approx. 10 cm (4 in) of the cable mantle, strip approx.
1 cm (0.4 in) of insulation from the ends of the individual wires
5. Insert the cable into the sensor through the cable entry
6. Lift the opening levers of the terminals with a screwdriver (see
following illustration)
7. Insert the wire ends into the open terminals according to the wir-
ing plan

Fig. 15: Connection steps 6 and 7

28790-EN-190318

8. Press down the opening levers of the terminals, you will hear the
terminal spring closing
9. Check the hold of the wires in the terminals by lightly pulling on
them

5.6 Switch-on phase

Switch-on phase After VEGASON 61 is connected to voltage supply or after voltage
recurrence, the instrument carries out a self-check for approx. 30
seconds. The following steps are carried out:
• Internal check of the electronics
• Indication of the instrument type, the firmware as well as the sen-
sor TAGs (sensor designation)
• Status byte goes briefly to fault value
Then the current measured value will be displayed and the corre-
sponding digital output signal will be output to the cable.1)

6.3 Setup steps

Parameter adjustment The sensor measures the distance from the sensor to the product
surface. For indication of the real level, an allocation of the measured
distance to the percentage height must be carried out.
The actual level is then calculated on the basis of these entered
values. At the same time, the operating range of the sensor is limited
from maximum range to the requested range.

Basic adjustment - Me- Each product has different reflective properties. In addition, there
dium are various interfering factors which have to be taken into account:
agitated product surfaces and foam generation (with liquids); dust
generation, material cones and echoes from the vessel wall (with
solids). To adapt the sensor to these different conditions, you should
first select "Liquid" or "Solid".
Medium

Liquid

With solids, you can also choose between "Powder/Dust", "Granular/

Pellets" or "Ballast/Pebbels".
Through this additional selection, the sensor is adapted perfectly to
the product and measurement reliability, particularly in products with
poor reflective properties, is considerably increased.
Enter the requested parameters via the appropriate keys, save your
settings and jump to the next menu item with the [->] key.

Basic adjustment - Vessel Apart from the medium, the vessel shape can also influence the
form measurement. To adapt the sensor to these measuring conditions,
this menu item offers different options depending on whether liquid
or bulk solid is selected. With "Liquids" these are "Storage tank",
"Stilling tube", "Open vessel" or "Stirred vessel", with "Solid", "Silo" or
"Bunker".

Basic adjustment - Damp- To suppress fluctuations in the measured value display, e. g. caused
ing by an agitated product surface, a damping can be set. This time can
be between 0 and 999 seconds. Keep in mind that the reaction time of
the entire measurement will then be longer and the sensor will react
to measured value changes with a delay. In general, a period of a few
seconds is sufficient to smooth the measured value display.

Basic adjustment - Lin- A linearisation is necessary for all vessels in which the vessel volume
earization curve does not increase linearly with the level - e.g. in a horizontal cylindri-
cal or spherical tank - and the indication or output of the volume is
required. Corresponding linearisation curves are preprogrammed for
these vessels. They represent the correlation between the level per-
centage and vessel volume. By activating the appropriate curve, the
volume percentage of the vessel is displayed correctly. If the volume
should not be displayed in percent but e.g. in l or kg, a scaling can be
also set in the menu item "Display".

Diagnosis - Measurement When non-contact level sensors are used, the measurement can be
reliability influenced by the respective process conditions. In this menu item,
the measurement reliability of the level echo is displayed as a dB
value. Measurement reliability equals signal strength minus noise. The
higher the value, the more reliable the measurement. A well function-
ing measurement normally has a value > 10 dB.

Diagnostics - Device The instrument status is displayed in this menu item. If no failure is
status detected by the sensor, "OK" will be displayed. If a failure is detected,
there will be a sensor-specific flashing fault signal, for example
"E013". The failure is also displayed in clear text, for example "No
measured value available".
Information:
The fault message as well as the clear text indication are also carried
out in the measured value display.

Diagnosis - Curve selec- With ultrasonic sensors, the "Echo curve" represents the signal
tion strength of the echoes over the measuring range. The unit of signal
strength is "dB". The signal strength enables the jusgement of the
quality of the measurement.
The "False echo curve" displays the saved false echoes (see menu
"Service") of the empty vessel as signal strength in "dB" over the
measuring range.
Up to 3000 measured values are recorded (depending on the sensor)

day.
Echo curve

Service - False signal High sockets or vessel installations, such as e. g. struts or agitators as
suppression well as buildup and weld joints on the vessel walls, cause interfering
reflections which can impair the measurement. A false echo storage
detects and marks these false echoes, so that they are no longer
taken into account for the level measurement. A false echo memory
should be created with low level so that all potential interfering reflec-
tions can be detected.

Proceed as follows:
1. Move from the measured value display to the main menu by
pushing [OK].

 6 Set up with the display and adjustment module PLICSCOM

2. Select the menu item "Service" with [->] and confirm with [OK].
Now the menu item "False signal suppression" is displayed.
3. Confirm "False signal suppression - Change now" with [OK] and
select in the below menu "Create new". Enter the actual distance
from the sensor to the product surface. All false signals in this
area are detected by the sensor and saved after confirming with
[OK].
Note:
Check the distance to the product surface, because if an incorrect
(too large) value is entered, the existing level will be saved as a false
signal. The level would then no longer be detectable in this area.

Service - Extended set- The menu item "Extended setting" offers the possibility to optimise
ting VEGASON 61 for applications in which the level changes very quickly.
To do this, select the function "Quick level change > 1 m/min.".
Extended setting

quick level change > 1 m/min.

Note:
Since with the function "Quick level change > 1 m/min." the genera-
tion of an average value of the signal processing is considerably
reduced, false reflections by agitators or vessel installations can
cause measured value fluctuations. A false signal suppression is thus
recommended.

Service - Simulation In this menu item you simulate a user-defined level or pressure value
via the current output. This allows you to test the signal path, e.g.
through connected indicating instruments or the input card of the
control system.
The following simulation variables are available:
• Percent
• Current
• Pressure (with pressure transmitters)
• Distance (with radar and guided radar (GWR))
With Profibus PA sensors, the selection of the simulated value is
made via the "Channel" in the menu "Basic adjustments".
How to start the simulation:

We recommended writing down the adjustment data, e.g. in this op-
erating instructions manual, and archiving them afterwards. They are
thus available for multiple use or service purposes.
If VEGASON 61 is equipped with a display and adjustment module,
the most important data can be read out of the sensor into the display
and adjustment module. The procedure is described in the operating
instructions manual "Display and adjustment module" in the menu
item "Copy sensor data". The data remain there permanently even if
the sensor power supply fails.
If it is necessary to exchange the sensor, the display and adjustment
28790-EN-190318

module is inserted into the replacement instrument and the data are
written into the sensor under the menu item "Copy sensor data".

7.2 Parameter adjustment with PACTware

Prerequisites For parameter adjustment of the instrument via a Windows PC, the
configuration software PACTware and a suitable instrument driver
(DTM) according to FDT standard are required. The latest 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 firmware 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.

Fig. 30: Example of a DTM view

Standard/Full version All device DTMs 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 assistant for
28790-EN-190318

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

 7 Set up with PACTware and other adjustment programs

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 download under
www.vega.com/downloads. The full version is available on CD from
the agency serving you.

7.3 Parameter adjustment with AMS™

For VEGA sensors, instrument descriptions for the adjustment
program AMS™ are available as DD. The instrument descriptions
are already implemented in the current version of AMS™. For older
versions of AMS™, a free-of-charge download is available via our
website www.vega.com.

7.4 Saving the parameterisation data

It is recommended to document or save the parameter adjustment
data. That way they are available for multiple use or service purposes.

8 Maintenance and fault rectification

8.1 Maintenance
Maintenance If the device is used properly, no special maintenance is required in
normal operation.

Cleaning The cleaning helps that the type label and markings on the instrument
are visible.
Take note of the following:
• Use only cleaning agents which do not corrode the housings, type
label and seals
• Use only cleaning methods corresponding to the housing protec-
tion rating

8.2 Rectify faults

Reaction when malfunc- The operator of the system is responsible for taking suitable meas-
tion occurs ures to rectify faults.

Causes of malfunction The device offers maximum reliability. Nevertheless, faults can occur
during operation. These may be caused by the following, e.g.:
• Sensor
• Process
• Voltage supply
• Signal processing

Fault rectification The first measures to be taken are to check the output signals as well
as to evaluate the error messages via the display and adjustment
module. The procedure is described below. Further comprehensive
diagnostics can be carried out on a PC with the software PACTware
and the suitable DTM. In many cases, the causes can be determined

8.3 Exchanging the electronics module

If the electronics module is defective, it can be replaced by the user.
In Ex applications, only instruments and electronics modules with ap-
propriate Ex approval may be used.
If there is no electronics module available on site, one can be ordered
from the VEGA agency serving you.

Sensor serial number The new electronics module must be loaded with the settings of the
sensor. These are the options:
• At the factory by VEGA
28790-EN-190318

• Or on site by the user

In both cases, the sensor serial number is necessary. The serial num-
bers are stated on the type label of the instrument, inside the housing
or on the delivery note.
