3.2 Principle of operation
The VEGATOR 142 is a double-channel controller for level detection
with two 4 … 20 mA sensors. Simple monitoring and control functions
can be realised via the integrated relays. Typical applications are
monitoring functions such as overfill and dry run protection. As an
alternative to the double-channel level detection, a two-point control
can be activated.
The VEGATOR 142 controller powers the connected sensors and
simultaneously processes their measuring signals. Each input is
continuously monitored for line break or short-circuit. In addition, fault
messages delivered by the sensor are processed.
The current of a connected 4 … 20 mA sensor is measured and
evaluated. The switching point of the relay can be adjusted to any in-
