VEGA have developed and improved their FDT/ DTM sensor set-up technology, to further provide everything needed for simple operation and configuration of all instruments, new and old. VEGA has focused on the keeping things modular, compatible and simple, so all DTMs are both upward and downward compatible.
Device integration and life cycle management are even more important part to plant operators. Now VEGA is introducing the NEW plics®plus, the next stage of development. With these new DTM’s combined with the new VEGA plics® system, it makes the user’s daily work, from instrument selection, integration and operation much easier. To see what plics®plus and FDT/DTM software set up has to offer, click on the case study link below.

The Cement Industry brochure features typical applications and ideas for cement industry solutions, from stone crushers in the quarry to height measurement in blending beds.
VEGA’s measuring instruments deliver reliable data on volume, level and pressure of liquids and bulk solids of all kinds, from fine-grained to course solids, from adhesive to extremely abrasive materials, as well as liquid materials, e.g. like heavy oil.
Level measurement with radar or guided microwave is completely unaffected by strong dust generation, noise and high product temperatures. The radar sensors VEGAPULS 67 and VEGAPULS 68 are a good alternative to ultrasonic instruments and other measuring principles that touch the product.
Using measurement technology under extreme and rough operating conditions, like cement production, place high demands on housing, electronics and sensors. However, with VEGA Instrumentation, all components can be adapted to the expected process conditions. The rugged housings are characterised by their high mechanical stability and the antennas of the radar sensors are able to withstand the most extreme conditions, including temperatures up to 1000 degrees Celsius.
VEGA has a long established relationship with companies in the Cement industry, providing reliable level and pressure measurement solutions in all areas of the plant and environments. Our products are backed with expert advice and service, along with a 3-year warranty. If you have any questions, application ideas or requirements, please give us a call on 01444 870055, and ask for our sales office, who will be delighted to assist you further.

What is PACTware?
PACTware manufactures, and is, a fieldbus independent adjustment software for use with field instruments of a number of manufacturers.
The PACT of PACTware means Process Automation Configuration Tool.
PACTware is simple to operate, making it a great asset management tool. On top of that it is a high quality universal software with revisions coming out regularly to keep up with the latest technology changes. The latest edition is PACTware 3.6.
Previous versions include, which can also be downloaded.
What is PACTware used for?
PACTware software is used to communicate with your plant instrumentation via digital interfaces (communication protocols like HART, profibus, foundation fieldbus, modbus, Ethernet, cable, controlnet and RS232). This communication is how instruments are configured optimally for their application requirements and process conditions.
How does PACTware Work?
As PACTware is a universal and manufacturer independent software, the userface is adapted to whichever brand of field instrument you use. Each Manufacturer will produce DTMs (Device Type Manager) that can be uploaded into PACTware, so that the software can understand each manufacturers’ instrument.
This understanding is made possible by a common standardised interface called FDT (Field Device Technology), which allows the device and digital interface to communicate in a common language.

Barry Patterson of DIAGEO had to have a rather unusual hair do, all for a good cause to raise money for Comic Relief, so a bright red mohican seemed appropriate!!
Congrats to Barry from all at VEGA for having the “bottle” (of red hair dye?) and raising a load of cash for a brilliant cause!
It’s not too late to donate either, just click the link the below. Just remember, Barry has done something crazy so you don’t have to
