Pressure Controller Settings
The following pressure controllers were supported when this User
Guide was written:
•
Beamex POC4
and
•
Druck DPI510
equipped with the RS232 communication op-
tion (only gauge pressure type models).
•
Druck DPI 515
The following settings apply in general to all supported pressure
controllers. If certain controllers have device specific data, it is men-
tioned in the general description.
Control Mode
Possible settings:
Shut Off
and
Continu-
ous
.
Shut Off means that the Pressure Control-
ler shuts down after the desired pressure
level is reached. When Continuous is se-
lected, the Pressure Controller is active all
the time. Even after the setpoint value is
reached.
The first method is to be preferred because
it minimizes the amount of disturbances in
the system, provided there are no notable
pressure leaks in the system.
Note.
Although the pressure controller does measure the generated pres-
sure, it is not passed on to MC5P in MC5P’s Basic Mode. Therefore
you should always connect the generated pressure also to a pres-
sure measurement module in MC5P.
When a controller is used in Calibration Mode, Input Mode “
Con-
trol
” is used when the instrument’s input signal is measured with
MC5P and Input Mode “
Ctrl/Mea
” when the controller communi-
cates the generated pressure to MC5P.
Zero the pressure controller using its own user interface or pro-
gram it to zero itself every time it generates zero pressure.
Device Address
Device address is needed if the Pressure
Controller is in addressed mode. Ad-
dressed mode also allows daisy-chain con-
necting several Pressure Controllers.
Serial communication settings
The communication settings shown in the
window are the ones required by MC5P.
The settings vary depending on the con-
nected pressure controller (usually the de-
fault communication settings of the pres-
sure controller). If the settings have been
changed afterwards, refer to the pressure
controller’s manual on how to change the
communication settings.
