3.6.3 Valve and sensor configuration
Basic valve configuration must be adapted according to application needs.
Definition of valve plate position (CLOSE or OPEN) after power up sequence. Default is „close„.
Definition of valve plate position (CLOSE or OPEN) in case of a power failure. Default
is „not defined„.
Only for versions that have Power Fail Option equipped [615 . . - . .
H
. - . . . .; 615 . . - . .
C
. - . . . .].
ZERO function. This may be „disabled‟ or „enabled‟. Default is „enabled„.
Refer also to «ZERO».
Local operation
:
(„Control View‟, „Control Performance Analyzer‟ or
„Service Box 2„)
Remote operation
:
(Refer to chapter «RS485 setup commands» for
details)
1. Do power up configuration in menu
„Setup / Valve‟.
1. Send VALVE CONFIGURATION
2. Do power fail configuration in menu
„Setup / Valve‟.
3. Enable or disable ZERO function in menu
„Setup / Sensor‟.
2. Send SENSOR CONFIGURATION
4. Do sensor configuration in menu
„Setup / Sensor‟.
3.6.4 ZERO
ZERO allows for the compensation of the sensor offset voltage.
When ZERO is performed the current value at the sensor input is equated to pressure zero. In case of a 2 sensor system
both sensor inputs will be adjusted. A max. offset voltage of +/- 1.4 V can be compensated. The offset value can be read
via local and remote operation.
Local operation
:
(„Control View‟, „Control Performance Analyzer‟ or
„Service Box 2„)
Remote operation
:
(Refer to chapter «RS485 control commands» resp.
«RS485 setup commands» for details)
Go to menu „Zero / ZERO‟ and follow instructions.
1. Send OPEN VALVE
2. Wait until process chamber is evacuated and
sensor signal is not shifting anymore.
3. Send ZERO
Note:
Do not perform ZERO as long as pressure gauge voltage is shifting otherwise incorrect pressure reading is the
result. Refer to manual of sensor manufacturer for warm up time.
Note:
Do not perform ZERO, if the base pressure of your vacuum system is higher than 1‰ of sensor full scale. We
recommend disabling ZERO function in this case; refer to «Valve and sensor configuration» of the setup procedure.
Otherwise incorrect pressure reading is the result.
