Differences between R2080/R2100/R2180 and GTR0208/GTR0210/GTR0218
Controllers R2080, R2100 and R2180 do not supersede analog devices GTR0208, GTR0210 and GTR0218 in
a fully compatible manner. Please note the following deviations:
Temperature sensor Pt100
As a rule, controllers R2080, R2100 and R2180 are provided with a 3-wire-connection.
Consequently, for Pt100 (but not in the case of a thermocouple), terminals 18-19 at controllers R2080 / R2100
or terminals 12-13 at controller R2180 must be shunted.
Sensor rupture protection
Controllers R2080, R2100 and R2180 are able to detect a broken sensor and/or polarity reversal of the sensor,
whereupon the actuating outputs are deactivated and an alarm is triggered at the same time.
If the actuating outputs are to assume a certain status, it must be set with parameter
Y SE
.
Protective conductor connection
According to EMC requirements controllers R2080, R2100 and R2180 must be provided with a protective con-
ductor connection.
Cooling output
In the case of 3-step controllers R2080 / R2180, the 2
nd
switching point cannot be used as an NC contact.
Limit contact
In the case of controller types R2080 / R2180 with limit contact, the configuration of the R2080 / R2180 must
be changed from
CnF1
= 0xx0 to 0xx4 while using the break contact (reverse action principle). Switching point
distance
∆
w can only be set as a relative MAX alarm to a value above zero for the R2080 / R2180.
Heating current display / monitoring
Heating current transformer GTY 2570 127 R0x can no longer be used in connection with R2080.
Instead, 3-input and/or 4-input current transformers GTZ 4121 must be fitted for acquiring heating current.
This offers the additional feature of not only indicating the heating current but also monitoring antivalence pro-
vided the R2080 has been appropriately set. In this case, an alarm is triggered if current is too low while heating
is activated or if current is not „off“ while heating is deactivated (see also page 30).
RC elements
In contrast to GTR0210, no RC elements for spark suppression have been fitted in controllers R2080, R2100
and R2180. It is therefore recommended retrofitting the controlled actuators (contactors, solenoid valves, etc.)
with the associated RC elements.
