Sample Application for using the Multifunction Inputs
The following diagram shows how to realise a dry-pump protection application. When the motor is start-
ing there is no pressure. It takes some time until the pressure reaches its normal value. In this example we
assume that the pressure has to appear within 4 seconds, otherwise the pump can be destroyed.

To realize this function the multifunction input can be parameterised in the following way:
• Set the delay time to 4s
• Set the function to "Fault when motor is running"
• Define a meaningful message e.g. "Dry run"
If the pressure switch does not monitor "pressure present" within 4s (or when the pressure signal disap-
pears for more than 4s during operation) the internal fault signal is set and the motor is stopped. The error
message "Dry run" appears as a fault message.
A second example on how to use the multifunction inputs is shown in section "Start-
ing and Stopping the Motor".
