Parameter Setting 

 

OCM F - rev. 05 / 06.04.2018 

 

page 65 

 
 

>Not active< 

The function is disabled. 
 

>Internal set 
point< 

The set point is determined in the OCM F. 

 

>Max. flow rate< 

Enter the max. possible flow rate of the 
measurement place here in l/s. This value is 
required for improved system control. 
 

 

>Int. set point< 

This parameter is to determine the internal 
flow set point in l/s. 
 

 

>Min. variation< 

This parameter defines the permissible set 
point deviation of the control system without a 
regulating event is allowed to be executed. 
The setting reduces the oscillation tendency 
of the system. If there is no set point devia-
tion tolerance defined, the system will con-
stantly attempt to exactly adjust the actual 
value according to the set point. Due to this 
reason the regulating unit might be driven 
permanently which may result in mechanical 
defects or higher wear and tear. Normally the 
deviation should be approx. 10 % of the set 
point value. 
 

 

>Cycle< 

The processing interval of the controller. 
Short intervals will accelerate the control be-
haviour, but are going to result in oscillation 
of the control circuit as from a certain point. A 
long interval is going to reduce the oscillation 
tendency of the controller but will however 
increase inertia of the regulating system. 

 

 

Interval = 

Average flow velocity 

• 1,3 

Distance between regulating unit and measurement 

 

 

>Slidevalve  
runtime< 

Use this parameter to monitor spindle breaks, 
slide valve gate breaks, gear defects, power 
failures on the regulating unit or other malfunc-
tion sources which may reveal because the 
regulating unit does not move although control 
signals are being generated. 

 

Slide run time 
to be set 

time between open and closed condition 
of slide valve during permanent operation 

• 1,2…2,0 

 

 

Information concerning slide run time 

An error message is going to be generated if the controller unit does not reach the end 
switch CLOSED after the slide run time has expired (see chapter “21 Operation Mode 
(RUN)”
 sub item “Error messages”).
