Device features
The RESISTRON
®
temperature controller RES-5006 is equipped with a PROFIBUS-DP interface. Through this
interface, all functions and parameters can be parameterised by means of the higher level machine controller. In
addition, important controller information is queried and can be processed accordingly.
The ACTUAL temperature of the heating element is output through the PROFIBUS interface and through an ana-
logue output 0…10 VDC. The real heating element temperature can be visualised on an external display instru-
ment (e.g. ATR-x) or via the operating unit of the machine controller.
The RES-5006 has an integrated error diagnosis that checks both the external system (heating element, wiring,
etc.) and the internal electronics. A differentiated error message is output through the PROFIBUS interface in case
of malfunction.
To increase operational security and immunity to interference, all PROFIBUS signals from the controller and
heating circuit are electrically isolated.
Adjustment for different heating element alloys (alloy A20, Vacodil, etc.) and setting of the temperature range to
be used (0…300 °C or 0…500 °C) can be made through coding switches on the temperature controller itself or
through the PROFIBUS interface.
The compact design of the RESISTRON
®
temperature controller RES-5006 as well as the plug-in connecting ter-
minals make mounting and installation easier.
An overview of the most important features and functions:
• Easy calibration of the heating element through AUTOCAL, the automatic zero-point setting.
• Eight channels permit switching of the calibration parameters during tool change.
• High control dynamics through AUTOTUNE, automatic adjustment to the controlled system.
• High flexibility: The AUTORANGE function covers a secondary voltage range of 0.4 V to 120 V and a current
range of 30 A to 500 A.
• Automatic adjustment to the network frequency in the range of 47 Hz to 63 Hz.
• Wide voltage range for flexible use from 110 VAC to 415 VAC
• Easy and convenient system diagnosis and process visualisation through the free, downloadable software
ROPEXvisual®
• Comprehensive error diagnosis over the PROFIBUS-DP interface
• Booster output available for connecting a switching amplifier
• High process security through comprehensive options for evaluating the parameter data (e.g. temperature
diagnosis or heat-up time monitoring)

Mounting and installation
See also section 2 "General information" on page 3.
Mounting, installation and commissioning may only be performed by qualified and trained persons
who are familiar with the related hazards and warranty stipulations.
The supply voltage to the machine side must lie within the permitted voltage and frequency range
of the RESISTRON
®
temperature controller. Otherwise, there is the danger of a defect.
6.1
Installation sequence
Proceed as follows during mounting and installation of the RESISTRON
®
temperature controller:
1. Switch off network voltage and 24 VDC power supply; verify lack of voltage.
