lDocumentation
-this operating instructions manual
3.2Principle of operation
The AT card (output transistor)provides together with the
VEGALOG 571 processing system ten floating outputs via
NPN transistors.
These can be used for transmission of the measuring results,
e.g.to binary input cards of a PLC.
The VEGALOG 571 AT card makes the processing results
available on up to ten outputs.It is suitable for outputting level,
single or sum fault messages.The switching condition of each
output is displayed via a two-coloured LED in the front plate.
Depending on the parameter adjustment,this LED lights
yellow as switching output,or if so configured,red as fault
output.
The voltage supply of the module card is provide via the
common power supply unit of the VEGALOG system.
You can find detailed information on the power supply in the
"Technical data"in the "Supplement".
3.3Operation
The operation of VEGALOG 571 is carried out via a PC which
can be connected via the RS232 interface of the CPU.Asan
alternative,connection via Ethernet and VEGACOM 558 is
possible.
The adjustment software PACTware™with the corresponding
DTMs is installed under Windows™and ensures easy
configuration of measuring systems as well as parameter
adjustment of connected VEGA sensors.For this purpose,
PACTware™provides a clear adjustment interface with menu
structure,window technology and graphic support.In addition,
online help is available which describes the available functions

and parameter adjustment options.For earlier VEGALOG
systems with CPU software 1.xx,the previous software VVO
(VEGA Visual Operating)must be used for operation.
3.4Storage and transport
Your instrument was protected by packaging during transport.
Its capacity to handle normal loads during transport is assured
by a test according to DIN EN 24180.
The packaging of standard instruments consists of environ-
ment-friendly,recyclable cardboard.For special versions,PE
foam or PE foil is also used.Dispose of the packaging material
via specialised recycling companies.

4Mounting
4.1General instructions
The module cards of VEGALOG 571 can only be mounted into
the 19"carrier BGT LOG 571.It is provided with a special bus
board for data transmission between CPU and the individual
peripheral cards (LOGBUS). The carrier is designed for
mounting into a switching cabinet or 19"housing.
The plug position for the individual cards is individually
selectable,the system saves the card positions when switch-
ing on.
Note:
The plug positions must not be changed after the parameter
adjustment because measurement loops that have already
been set up would otherwise have to be reconfigured.
4.2Module
Provide a module for the VEGALOG 571 AT card.You will find
the description in the operating instructions manual "CPU and
carrier".
4.3Coding
Amechanical coding system avoids later interchanging of the
various module cards in the carrier.
The coding system consists of:
ltwo coded pins in the female multipoint connector
ltwo holes in the male multipoint connector of the respective
component
The coded pins are attached to the module.
Equip the female multipoint connector with the two coded pins
according to the "Coding chart"and "Position of the coded
pins".The function coding points out that these are module
cards of VEGALOG.The instrument coding is used to
differentiate between the individual module cards.
The male multipoint connectors of the individual module cards
point to the holes suiting the pin positions.

5Connecting to voltage supply
5.1Preparing the connection
Generally not the following safety instructions:
lConnect only in the complete absence of line voltage
lIf overvoltage surges are expected,overvoltage arresters
should be installed
In hazardous areas you should take note of the appropriate
regulations,conformity and type approval certificates of the
sensors and power supply units.
The voltage supply of the module card is provide via the
common power supply unit of the VEGALOG system.
You can find detailed information on the power supply in the
"Technical data"in the "Supplement".
5.2Connection cable
Power supply is connected with standard cable according to
the national installation standards.
To connect the transistor outputs,standard two-wire cable
without screen can be used.If electromagnetic interference is
expected which is above the test values of EN 61326 for
industrial areas,screened cable should be used.
Connect the cable screen on both ends to ground potential.
If potential equalisation currents are expected,the screen
connection on the side of VEGALOG 571 AT must be made
via a ceramic capacitor (e.g.1nF,1500 V). The low frequency
potential equalisation currents are thus suppressed,but the
protective effect against high frequency interference signals
remains.
Take note of the corresponding installation regulations for Ex
applications.In particular,make sure that no potential equal-
isation 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.
The total capacitance of the cable and of all capacitors must
not exceed 10 nFin Ex applications.

7Maintenance and fault rectification
7.1Maintenance
When used as directed in normal operation,the module card
VEGALOG 571 AT is completely maintenance-free.
7.2Fault rectification
VEGALOG 571 AT offers maximum reliability.Nevertheless
faults can occur during operation.These may be caused by the
following,e.g.:
lMeasured value of the sensor not correct
lVoltage supply
lInterference on the cables
The first measures to be taken are checking the input/output
signal as well as processing failure messages.The diagnostic
information are updated cyclically in a 5sec.pattern.
PACTware™with the suitable DTM offers comprehensive
diagnostics options.The integrated online help offers you
additional information.In many cases,these cause can be thus
determined and faults can be rectified.
However,should this measures not be successful,call the
VEGA service hotline in urgent cases under the phone no.+49
1805 858550.
The hotline is available to you 7days a week round-the-clock.
Since we offer this service world-wide,the support is only
available in the English language.The service is free of
charge,only the standard telephone costs will be charged.
The operating condition of the CPU and peripheral cards is
displayed via the status LEDs in the front plate.
