3.1 Operating Principle of the Control
The compressor control is the central control element of the compressor sys-
tem.
The compressor control with switch cabinet is integrated in the compressor
housing and connected directly to the compressor. This means that it is ready
for operation as soon as the compressor is connected to the power supply.
Basic Tasks of the
Control
The first essential task carried out by the control is the
monitoring
of all com-
pressor system functions. Information on compressor operation can be called
up and checked on the control display. This includes data on the current oper-
ating status of the compressor or servicing intervals (see Part 4: Display and
Operation, page 13 ff.).
The second essential task carried out by the control is the efficient
regulation
of the compressor for tailored use. To do this, compressor parameters can
be set via the control. These are required for the compressor to generate com-
pressed air according to individual requirements. This includes parameters
for setting the pressure to be generated (see Part 5: Setting Parameters,
page 19 ff.).
Use as a Lower-level
Control in the Compres-
sor Network
The BOGE
base
control can be connected to the master control of
a compressor network via a Modbus interface module. The lower-level
control then operates according to the instructions of the master control.
It must also be parameterized to suit the master control.
