Relay: 10 – 100 pulses per minute
n
Optocoupler: 10 – 350 pulses per minute
n
The pulse frequency is dependant on the control deviation and the set control
parameters.
n
With a control output power of Y = 25 % and a maximum pulse frequency of 100
pulses/min., the controller would output 25 pulses/min.

n
Relay output (e. g. for solenoid valve)
n
Depending on the control deviation and the defined control parameters, the relay
pulls in or drops out for the set cycle duration. If the cycle lasts 30 seconds and the
controller output power is 40 % the relay applies for example for 12 seconds,
followed by 18 seconds of non-application.
x
Servomotor with a
feedback potentiometer
n
A feedback potentiometer can be connected (1 – 10 kΩ) for servomotors with
position feedback.
n
Compensate the feedback potentiometer. During compensation, the servomotor is
first started and then stopped automatically.
x
Servomotor without a
feedback potentiometer
n
For servomotors without feedback.
n
Measure and set the runtime of the servomotor.
x
Continuous output
n
Continuous control output from 0/4 – 20 mA for the actuation of constant actors.
x
Servomotor with 20 mA
feedback
n
Servomotors which are controlled via 0/4 – 20 mA and have a 0/4 – 20 mA
position feedback.

8.1 First steps
PLEASE NOTE
Distorting the measurement results
The measurement results of high-impedance sensor inputs may be
distorted in the first 24 hours due to the heat development inside the
housing of the
TOPAX
®
MC
controller.
ð
Activate the
TOPAX
®
MC
controller 24 hours before start-up.
ð
Factor in the distortion caused by the heat development and only
perform the calibration for the measurement results 24 hours after
activating the
TOPAX
®
MC
controller.
You need to make a number of basic settings before operating the device.
This section leads you through initial commissioning.
Pre-conditions for actions:
ü
The device has been installed in accordance with section 7 “Installa-
tion” on page 12.
Configuration assistant
With initial commissioning, a configuration wizard will lead you through
the basic settings: Your preferred language, the measured values, control-
ler assignments and switch outputs. With the exception of the language,
the values configured here can only be set in the configuration assistant.
The finer settings are made in the sub-menus.
Working in the configuration assistant, determine the tasks of the in-
stalled modules, the controller and the output modules.
The finer settings such as the behaviour of these modules are made later,
e. g in the “Outputs” menu item.
Perform the following work steps:
1.
Set the preferred language and press on the arrow.
2. Measured values:
Determine the desired measured value for the in-
stalled input modules. Press the right-hand arrow.
