You can also control the sequence of the phases using 3 timers for which parame-
ters can be set:
The “Boost activation” timer runs during the “Emptying” phase. If the pump's
performance is insufficient to lower the return tan
k’s fill level to below the upper
fill level during the period set for the “Boost activation” timer, the pump control-
ler sets the pump into the “Boost” phase. The pump then works with the speed
set for the “Boost” phase instead of the speed set for the “Emptying” phase.
This prevents the return tank from overflowing.
The “Sleep activation” timer runs during the “Filling” phase. If the lower fill level
of the return tank is not exceeded within the set time
for the “Sleep activation”
timer, the pump controller puts the pump into the "Sleep" phase. The pump
then works with the speed set for the “Sleep” phase instead of the speed set for
the “Filling” phase. This prevents the pump running dry.
The “Overflow warning” timer runs during the “Boost” phase. You can use the
“Overflow warning” timer to adjust how long the pump will run in the “Boost”
phase before the pump controller sends a signal to the higher-level controller,
e.g. to a machine tool. The pump controller uses the signal to inform the higher-
level controller that the return tank could overflow.
You can define the following values for each phase in the application single view:
The phase duration
The elapsed times for the timers
The pump’s speed
