8 Maintenance and fault rectification

8  Maintenance and fault rectification

8.1 Maintenance

If the instrument is used properly, no special maintenance is required 

in normal operation.

8.2  Rectify faults

The operator of the system is responsible for taking suitable meas-

ures to rectify faults.

VEGACAL 62 offers maximum reliability. Nevertheless, faults can oc-

cur during operation. These may be caused by the following, e.g.:

• 

Sensor

• 

Process

• 

Voltage supply

• 

Signal processing

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 

and the faults rectified this way.

Should these measures not be successful, please call in urgent cases 

the VEGA service hotline under the phone no. 

+49 1805 858550

.

The hotline is manned 7 days a week round-the-clock. Since we offer 

this service worldwide, the support is only available in the English 

language. The service is free, only standard call charges are incurred.

The following table describes possible errors and helps to remove 

them:

Error

Rectification

When an addi-

tional instrument 

is connected, the 

segment fails.

Max. supply 

current of the seg-

ment coupler 

exceeded

Measure the current consumption, re-

duce size of segment

Wrong pres-

entation of the 

measured value in 

Simatic S5

Simatic S5 cannot 

interpret the num-

ber format IEEE 

of the measured 

value

Insert converting component from Sie-

mens

In Simatic S7 the 

measured value 

is always present-

ed as 0

Only four bytes 

are consistently 

loaded in the PLC

Use function component SFC 14 to 

load 5 bytes consistently
