Endress+Hauser commulog VU 260 Z Manual

Technical
Information
TI 140F/00/en
Application
The Commulog VU 260 Z handheld
terminal is designed for remote
configuration of:
Endress+Hauser smart transmitters
Commutec transmitters
Features and Benefits
•Simple keyboard with colour-coded
pushbuttons means quick
configuration and immediate access
to measured values - on-site or
remotely from the control room.
•Easy-to-use thanks to
Endress+Hauser matrix
•Large liquid crystal display, with 4
lines of 20 characters, gives plain text
information on measurement.
•Diagnosis on fault condition allows
source to be quickly located and
rectified.
•Bar graph displays measurement as
4…20 mA analogue value.
•Light splash-proof housing and
battery operation make field use no
problem!
•Certified for use in explosion
hazardous areas Zone 1.
Field Communication
commulog VU 260 Z
Handheld Terminal remote configuration of
Commutec and Smart transmitters.
Designed for use in explosion hazardous areas.
The Commulog VU 260 Z
is available with english,
german, french or italian
texts.

Nothing beats know-how

Configuration
Commutec transmitters are configured
or interrogated on-line by simply
plugging the Commulog VU 260 Z into
the two sockets provided. Immediately
to hand in plain text are:
•measured values,
•transmitter configuration,
•diagnostics on fault condition.
If a ZA 67x computer interface is in use
the transmitter must first be switched to
Commulog mode. After reconfiguration,
dialogue is resumed with the new
parameters.
Endress+Hauser - Matrix
Process data are viewed by selecting
the appropriate field in a parameter
matrix. The same matrix is used no
matter whether parameters are keyed
in, read in by the Commulog or read in
via the ZA 670/ZA 672 computer
interface.
•The principle measured value is
always located in field 00.
Commutec Transmitters
The Commulog VU 260 Z is compatible
with existing Commutec transmitters
Level measurement:
Silometer FMB 671 Z...677 Z,
Silometer FMC 671 Z...677 Z,
Nivosonic FMU 671 Z...678 Z.
Pressure measurement
Commutec PMX 671 Z...677 Z.
Temperature measurement
Omnigrad TMT 2371…2377.
Others in preparation.
•Each row in the matrix is allocated to a
specific function, e.g. calibration,
4…20 mA signal, limit values etc..
•The same matrix structure is used for
all transmitters, so that the user,
having configured one, can quickly
program others of a different type.
Commulog VU 260 Z
communicates directly
with Commutec
transmitters without
interrupting measurement

Process parameters
are stored in matrix
fields characteristed by
•a vertical (V) and
•horizontal (H) position
They are entered and
displayed by means of
the matrix selection
and function keys.

Smart Transmitters
Configuration
For smart transmitters the Commulog is
simply connected into the 4...20 mA
analogue circuit.
•A minimum load of 150 Ωmust always
be present on the line.
•The maximum load is 650 Ω.
For the Deltabar differential pressure
transmitter:
•There is no need to pressurize during
configuration.
•4…20 mA signals can be simulated
for the adjustment of instrumentation.
•The differential pressure can be read
from matrix field V0H0 (Display 00).
Field Use
The Commulog VU 260 Z can also be
connected directly to the smart
transmitter:
•A rugged, splash-proof housing
means it can be used outdoors.
•It is suitable for use in explosion
hazardous areas Zone 1.
Smart Transmitters
The following are smart transmitters:
Deltabar PMD 130, FMD 130, 530, 533
Prosonic FMU 86...
Micropilot FMR 130.
