6.1 Commissioning
Important settings and function-related variables are factory-programmed into the vacuum pumps elec-
tronic drive units as parameters. Each parameter has a three-digit number and a description. Parame-
ters can be used via Pfeiffer Vacuum display and control panels or externally via RS-485, using the
Pfeiffer Vacuum protocol.
For both parameter sets, the DCU acts as the user interface. HiCube Eco controls two independent pa-
rameter sets, for the turbopump and backing pump. The backing pump parameters are shown hierarchi-
cally in the display, and marked with a symbol.
