ACT2000 USER GUIDE
Alarms
The ACT2000 provides two two-wire alarm signals via the integral 17-wire
signal harness. The discrete alarm outputs are solid-state switches which
are normally closed. The user’s controller pr24 VDC to complete
the circuit. Refer to Figure 1-12 for typical connections. Refer to the
General Specification Summary Table in Section 1.2 for alarm
specification values. See Section 3.7 for additional details about alarms.
FAULT Alarm
The fault configuration for the FAULT alarm is programmable in the most
recent generation
of the ACT2000 (factory-configurable only). If a fault
condition occurs, the FAULT alarm switch will open, interrupting the circuit
with the user’s controller. See Table 3-1 for the default configuration
.
See Table 3-3 for a list of fault conditions represented by the FAULT
alarm in earlier generations
of the ACT2000.
OVERTEMP Alarm
The fault configuration for the OVERTEMP alarm is programmable in the
most recent generation
of the ACT2000 (factory-configurable only). If a
fault condition occurs, the OVERTEMP alarm switch will open,
interrupting the circuit with the user’s controller. The default configuration
for the OVERTEMP alarm is Motor OVERTEMP, where the circuit will
open if the temperature in two or more of the motor winding exceeds 135°
C. See Table 3-2 for details about the default configuration
.
In earlier generations of the ACT2000, the OVERTEMP alarm is
dedicated to Motor Over Temp
and Electronics Over Temp
faults. If the ACT2000 detects that the temperature in two or more
of the motor windings exceeds 130° C or the electronics
temperature exceeds 110° C the OVERTEMP circuit will open (see
Table 3-4). In generation , the Electronics Over Temp fault is assigned
to the FAULT alarm. If the electronics temperature exceeds 110° C
the FAULT circuit will open (see Table 3-3).
RS232 Communications
The ACT2000 allows for RS232 serial communication through three wires
in the integral 17-wire signal harness. The RS232 wires, Rx IN, Serial Tx
OUT and Serial RTN, are used to communicate with a user-provided
computer. Serial communication can be used to change the ACT2000
set-up parameters and to retrieve fault diagnostics. Contact Precision
Engine Controls Corporation to request fault diagnostic software. See
Section 3.8 for additional details about set-up parameters.
