Description:

The FP4 D is properly connected to an external controller via the electrical interface
and connected to the power supply.

The FP4 D sends a permanent output signal (high level) to PIN 4, which indicates to
the external control (PLC) that it is ready for operation. This output signal must be per-
manently and continuously present for >3 seconds. Control by the external controller is
only possible if this condition is present.

The control signal 2 seconds with a signal length of 12 (11.9 ... 12.1) seconds high
level can be sent from the external control (PLC) to the FP4 D.

Immediately after the control signal drops, the motor run (ML) of the FP4 D starts and
0.16 cm³ lubricant is conveyed to the outlet. Simultaneously with the start of the motor
run (ML), the FP4 D sends a low level output signal to the external controller (PLC) as
confirmation for the duration of the motor run (ML).

The motor running time (ML) depends on various conditions, including the counter-
pressure present or built up in the hydraulic system and the temperature. With the FP4
D, the motor running time (ML) is 7...17 seconds.

At the end of each error-free and successful motor run (ML), the output signal at the
FP4 D changes from a low level to a high level for a short pause time P = 2 seconds.

A total of 40 engine runs and donations will take place immediately one after the
other. 40 x 0.16 cm³ = 6.4 cm³ lubricant is conveyed from the cartridge to the outlet.

A possible next control signal can be sent from the external controller (PLC) at the
earliest >3 seconds after the end of the error-free and successful motor run. In the
meantime, the FP4 D does not process any control signals.

In order to ensure a reliable and unambiguous recognition of the control signal, a
pause must be observed. For the control signal 12 seconds, the FP4 D has a pause
time (Tp) between two identical or different control signals of at least 733 (Tp=ML
max
x
40 s P x 39 + signal 3 seconds) seconds.

For an FP4 D with two pump units, 40 filling strokes per pump unit are triggered
when the control signal is triggered for 12 seconds. The pause time (Tp) is increases to
1553 seconds.

If the integrated microelectronics of the FP4 D has detected an error during or im-
mediately after the end of the motor run (ML), it is transmitted to the external controller
(PLC) by the corresponding output signal (section 8.3).
