Measured variables
Pressure value (vacuum)
The pressure value (vacuum) between the vacuum port and filter is continuously measured. The cur-
rent pressure value is transmitted via the input data. If the operating voltage of the vacuum generator
is switched off, these values are reset.
Cycle time
A cycle covers the time from the start of evacuation through ejection to the start of the new evacu-
ation.
Evacuation time and air supply time
The evacuation time t
E
is measured from the beginning of the evacuation until the switching point SP
A1
is reached. The air supply time t
B
is measured from the start of air supply to the time at which the pres-
sure value (vacuum) exceeds -5 kPa.
