6.1.4 EEPROM
The EEPROM contains data of various types:
Ö
Power failure, i.e. the information necessary to restart the appliance in the event of a power failure:
-
Selected cycle and options
-
Current phase and sub-phase
Ö
Machine status, used to perform special cycles such as:
-
Electrical test (used in the assembly line)
-
Continuous
cycles (used in the factory workshops)
Ö
Machine configuration: the data contained in the EEPROM define the characteristics of the model and
are interpreted by the function software. The variables are the following:
-
Type of appliance (front-loader, top-loader, compact)
-
Type of door interlock (PTC or instantaneous)
-
Anti-flooding safety device
-
Transmission ratio between drum pulley and motor pulley
-
Structure of the washing group
-
Power supply frequency (50/60 Hz)
-
Type of PCB (horizontal or vertical buttons)
-
Detergent drawer (3 or 4 compartments)
-
Final spin speed (600 – 1400 rpm)
Ö
Identification of the appliance:
-
Prod.
N.
-
ELC
-
Serial number
Ö
Configuration of the user interface:
-
Programmes of main selector
-
Function of secondary selector (if featured)
-
Number and functions of buttons
-
Functions of the LEDs
-
Operation of the buzzer
Ö
Washing cycle tables: Each washing cycle consists of a series of phases (steps); the steps are the basic
instructions comprising the description of the cycle, which is common to all appliances having the same
characteristics:
-
Water
fill
-
Motor
movement
-
Refill
-
Heating
-
Drain
-
Spin
-
“IF” conditions.... (options, temperatures, etc.)
-
...
Ö
Configuration of the washing cycle: for each family of appliances, certain parameters associated with the
washing programme are defined:
-
Operational
limits
(voltage/frequency)
-
Transmission
ratios
-
Parameters for control of the signal from the tachometric generator
-
Parameters for half-range operation of the motor
-
Structure of the washing group
-
Control parameters for the FUCS anti-unbalancing system
-
Water fill control algorithm
-
Alarm control system
