1 EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
VPO10 is a Profibus-PA converter for discrete and analog output. It has three output channels, where
user can configure current output (4-20 mA) or discrete output with open collector (maximum current 400
mA, 24 Vdc).
VPO10 is a converter that provides connection of end elements such as control valve positioners
and other final control elements to Profibus-PA systems. The converter generates, in proportion to the
Profibus-PA network setpoint signals, 4-20 mA outputs, through analog output function blocks (AO block),
or allows actuations in open collector loads.
It is powered by a 9 to 32 Vdc voltage source and uses Profibus-PA communication protocol for
configuration, calibration, monitoring and diagnostics. Through a Profibus-PA configurator, Android platform
or tools based on EDDl or FDT/DTM it is possible to configure the measurement scales, the work units,
calibrate the instrument, monitor the measurement variables and check the equipment status. Another way
to configure the VPO10 is by locally adjustment using a magnetic tool.
VPO10 installation can be done in the field through a bracket connected to a 2 "tube with U-clamp,
it can also be installed in a wall or panel.
Prioritizing high performance and ruggedness, this converter is designed with the latest electronics
and materials technologies, ensuring long-term reliability for systems of any scale.
1.1. BLOCK DIAGRAM
The modularization for converter components is described in the following block diagram.

The main board controls the main functions of the converter, the Profibus-PA Modem and the
microcontroller (CPU). The output board receives the CPU signals converted to analog signals (4-20 mA)
via PWM, isolated from the CPU, or the output board receives the converted CPU signals into discrete open
collector digital signals (maximum current 400 mA , 24 Vdc), isolated from the CPU. The main board CPU
performs all the logic of conversion and control of the settings through its firmware.
The CPU also receives the inputs of the local adjustment block (Hall type sensors) for the local
configuration of the converter via magnetic switch.
Modem Profibus block interfaces CPU with Profibus-PA signals of the communication network.
The display board has the controller block that interfaces between the LCD and the CPU, adapting
the messages to be displayed in the display.

2.1. MECHANICAL ASSEMBLY
VPO10 converter is designed for field installation and therefore supports weather exposure, having
good performance with variations in temperature, humidity and vibration.
Its housing has an IP67 degree of protection, being immune to water entering its electronic circuit
and terminal, provided that the cable gland or conduit of the electrical connection is correctly assembled
and sealed with non-hardenable sealant. The covers should be tightly closed to prevent moisture from
entering because the threads of the housing are not protected by paint.
The electronic circuit is coated with a moisture-proof lacquer, but constant exposures to moisture or
corrosive media can compromise its protection and damage the electronic components.
Figure 2.1 shows the dimensional design and assembly forms of VPO10.
Figure 2.1 – Dimensional drawing and assembly scheme for VPO10.
To avoid the risk of involuntary loss of VPO10 covers due to vibration, for instance, it can be locked
by screw, as shown on figure 2.2.
VPO10 is a field device, so it can be installed through a mounting bracket on a 2” tube attached with
a U clip. The converter can also be attached with the same mounting bracket to a wall or panel.
For best LCD positioning device enables 4 x 90° housing rotation, as shown on figure 2.3.

3 CONFIGURATION
The configuration of VPO10 can be done through a programmer compatible with Profibus-PA
technology. Vivace offers the interfaces of VCI10-P line (USB,and Bluetooth) as a solution for configuration
and monitoring of the Profibus-PA line equipment. User can also configure the VPO10 by local adjustment
using a Vivace magnetic key.
3.1. LOCAL CONFIGURATION
Equipment’s local configuration is executed by using Vivace’s magnetic
screwdriver on Z and S orifices, located at housing superior side, under
identification plate. Orifice Z starts local configuration and changes the field to
be configured. Orifice S is responsible for changing and saving the new value
on the selected field. Saving after LCD value changing is automatic.
Figure 3.1 shows orifices Z and S for local configuration, stamped on device
housing, and their functions on magnetic screwdriver actuation.
Insert the magnetic screwdriver on Zero orifice (Z). icon appears to indicate
that device has recognized the screwdriver action. Keep the magnetic
screwdriver inside until “LOCAL ADJST” message is shown on display, and
then remove it for 3 seconds. Insert the magnetic screwdriver into Z orifice
again, so user can navigate through local adjust parameters.
Table 3.1 indicates actions executed by magnetic screwdriver when inserted
on Z and S orifices.
Table 3.1 – Z and S orifices actions.
Figure 3.1 – Z and S orifices and magnetic screwdriver.
Some parameters show the icon to allow user configuration on it by inserting the magnetic
screwdriver into Span orifice (S). In case the parameter has pre-defined values, those will be rotate on
display, while the magnetic screwdriver remains into Span orifice (S).
If the parameter is numerical, this field will enter on edition mode and decimal point will start blinking,
and shifting to left. When user removes magnetic screwdriver from S, the least significant digit (in the right)
starts blinking, indicating it is ready for edition. By inserting the magnetic screwdriver into S, user is enabled
to increase the digit value, from 0 to 9.
After the least significant digit edition, user should remove magnetic screwdriver from S in order to
start the edition of the next digit (in the left). User will be able to edit each digit independently, until the most
significant digit (5th digit on the left) is complete. After the 5th digit edition, user can also change the signal
for the numerical value still on S orifice.
During each step of edition, user is able to return to the previous digit (to the right) by inserting the
magnetic screwdriver into Z orifice, so corrections can be made. By removing the magnetic screwdriver at
any time, user will see the digits blinking until the final step, where the edition mode will be finished, saving
the numerical value configured by user.

If the configured value is not acceptable by that device parameter (invalid value), it will be returned
to the last valid value before edition. Depending on the parameter, some values can be shown on numerical
or alphanumerical fields, adjusting the best option view to user.
With the magnetic screwdriver out of Z and S orifices, device will leave local adjust mode after some
seconds and monitoring mode will be shown.
3.2. JUMPER CONFIGURATION FOR LOCAL ADJUST AND WRITE PROTECTION
VPO10 has two jumpers on its main board to protect data writing (WP) and enabling/disabling local
adjust (ADJL). Figure 3.2 presents those jumpers.
Figure 3.2 – Jumpers WP (write protection) and ADJL (local adjust) on VPO10 main board.
