User Manual_S7-1200 compressor controller
5
The control system monitors the status of the compressor parameters by using sensors,
transducers and protective devices that are listed in Table 2 and 3.The presence of the
sensors in the system depends on the particular compressor configuration and can't
exceeds the amount of three analogue sensors and eight digital sensors.
The control system is equipped with the 6 relay outputs monitored by the PLC controller.
Each of them can be set to one of several functions that are presented in Table 3. A part of
the outputs is closely related to the compressor configuration and its functions can not be
changed. The relay outputs are switched off when the PLC is without power or is in STOP
mode.
