5.5 KFGC (CAN bus)
Pump units of the KFGC (CAN bus) series are
pump units from the KFGS series with an
integrated CAN bus control unit.
The integrated LC-CAN 5000 control unit of-
fers the following special features:
CAN bus interface (SAE J1939), which al-
lows units to be seamlessly integrated into
the CAN bus networks.
The lubrication system can be monitored,
operated and conigured through the
CAN bus.
There is also the option of coniguring and
operating the pump unit using the existing
IrDA interface.
Moreover, the control unit is able to control
and monitor up to four independent zones and
to supply them from a single pump unit.
To achieve this capability, electric switch valves
which are controlled based on the parameters
set for each individual lubrication zone are
placed in the main line. The control unit has up
to four solid-state switching outputs for this
purpose.
Aside from valve control, the outputs can
also be conigured as digital outputs for other
purposes.
In addition to the above-mentioned outputs,
up to four digital inputs are available, e.g., for
monitoring piston detectors, pressure switches
or other switching contacts. A detailed descrip-
tion of the electrical connections can be found
in Chapter 4 in the assembly instructions.
The control unit‘s comprehensive monitoring
functions allow potential faults to be detected
early. This includes, among other things,
monitoring the ill level in the lubricant reser
-
voir, monitoring the signal lines on attached
components for line breakage, and monitor-
ing the switching outputs for short circuits.
Chapter 4 contains a complete description of
the monitoring functions for use in progressive
feeder systems.
Chapter 7 contains a complete description of
the monitoring functions for use in single-line
centralized lubrication systems.
Important system events such as a low ill
level in the lubricant reservoir are saved by
the control unit and given a time stamp. This
allows the causes of operational faults to be
determined more easily. A description of the
functions for operational malfunctions can be
found in Chapter 15.
The lexible parameters and coniguration
options allow custom lubrication concepts to
be implemented for each individual lubrica-
tion zone in the system. The control unit can
store up to 16 pre-set sets of parameter data
which can be programmed as desired. Each
set of parameters contains all the information
required to control and monitor the lubrication
process. This means that different lubrication
scenarios can be prepared and saved then
called on when needed.
Chapter 11 contains instructions on conigur
-
ing the system.
