5.7.1. Diagnostics
Twotypesofelectroniccardsareavailable,“Basicboard”
and“Fulloption”,differingfromeachotherinthediagnostic
functions they have available.
Both have:
– coil continuity control connected to the card
– capacitor voltage level control.
The “Full option” card also makes the following available:
–controlofthestateofcapacitorefficiency,whichis
fundamental for correctly carrying out the opening and
closing operations
– checking and indicating the temperature inside the
contactor.
The alarms corresponding to the above functions are made
availabletotheuserbymeansoftwocontacts(3-4and5-6)
of the -XDB10 terminal box.
The cards periodically carry out the controls without
preventing the opening and closing operations.
The table below indicates the functions available.
5.7.3. Coil continuity control (CCC) and temperature
monitoring
The unit checks actuator connection continuity so as to
reduce the risk of failure to operate following disconnection. It
also monitors the temperature of the board to reduce the risk
ofoperatingbeyondtheboard’sdesignlimits.
This function is provided for both the basic MAC R2 board
and the “full option” version.
The test is performed:
–Every2minutes(irrespectiveofwhethertheapparatusisin
the open or closed condition)
– 15 seconds after starting
– After each operation
The test is not performed:
If the voltage of the external capacitance is less than 75 V
(“notready”signalalreadygiven)
Iftheambienttemperatureislessthan-30°(“notready”signal
already given)
An alarm signal is given by opening contact DO1 if errors
occur.
5.7.4. Capacitor ageing control (CBC)
The unit supervises bulk capacitor discharging so as to check
capacitor life.
The unit supervises main capacitor discharging so as to check
capacitor life.
This function is only available for the MAC R2 “full option”
version.
The test is performed:
– Every 12 hours when the apparatus is in the open condition.
– 15 seconds after starting.
– Two seconds after each opening operation if the contactor
has remained closed for 12 hours.
The test is not performed:
– If the voltage of the external capacitance is less than 75 V
(“notready”signalalreadygiven).
–Iftheambienttemperatureislessthan-5°(“notready”
signal already given).
The “not ready” state is signalled when the CBC function is
being performed and the function has priority over the closing
operation.
An alarm signal is given by opening contact DO2 if errors
occur.
