This menu is used to set the operating hours target for the vacuum pumps integrated in
the system.
By default (“Unequal running hours between vacuum pumps” set to "off"), the system
controls the PLUS pumps so that they all have the closest possible number of operating
hours. This makes it possible to group the maintenance of all the pumps together and
thus limit the number of maintenance operations required.
When the function “Unequal running hours between vacuum pumps” is activated (set
to “on”), it is possible to individually define a different running hours target for each
PLUS pump, and thus to shift the maintenance. This allows maintenance operations to
be carried out on one part of the pumps while the system is running with the rest of the
pumps, thus avoiding production downtime.
To activate the function:
• Switch on the “Unequal running hours between vacuum pumps” button, password
required
►
Role 2, see Role and User [ ► 6] .
NOTE
Auto pump change in case of warning.
If the option "Auto pump change in case of warning" is activated (
Settings Screen 2
[ ► 32] ), it will have priority over the control of the vacuum pumps operating hours
by the PLUS Master Control system.
In case of active warnings on some vacuum pumps that would not be acknowledged by
users, an offset may therefore occur in the planning of the operating hours of these
pumps.
