A feature is given that allows a delayed start of the nEXT pump. With this feature, the
v
ent valve can be closed before starng the nEXT pump. This allows the backing pump to
decrease the pressure in the vacuum system before starng the nEXT pump.
If the controller is not used to control a TAV vent valve, it can be used to operate a fan.
You can congure the controller to permanently enable the fan.
2.3.6 Normal speed seng
The normal speed is a user‑selectable parameter which can be set from 50% to 100% of
full rotaonal speed.
When the pump gets to normal speed, a signal is available on the normal pin of the logic
interface connector. The signal can be used to control the applicaon as it shows that
the vacuum performance (pump speed) is at a set level. The default seng is 80% of the
full rotaonal speed. Refer to Normal speed seng on page 59 for instrucons to
change the normal speed seng.
2.4 Logic interface
The pump controller can be operated only through the logic interface. The signals on the
logic interface are of three types:
▪ Control inputs: Switch‑type signals that are used to control the pump
▪ Status outputs: To idenf
y the status of the system
▪ Analogue output: Gives a 0 ‑ 10 V output for a number of pump parameters.
The logic interface supports the serial control and the parallel control to monitor and
control through one connector. For serial control, RS232 (default) or RS485 can be
selected using the RS485 / RS232 slide switch which is given on the motor controller.
Refer to Connecon for serial control and monitoring on page 41.
You can plug the logic interface into the manufacturer's TIC Turbo Controller or
TIC Turbo Instrument Controller and then use the given funconality. The logic interface
can be connected to the customer control system as an alternave.
Refer to Logic interface connector on page 27 for more informaon about the logic
interface.
2.4.1 Parallel control and monitoring
The simple parallel interface is a quick and easy way to control the pump. Same interface
is used on the 24 V manufacturer's Turbo Pumps. The start and standby controls are
available to use. You can monitor the system status using the normal, fail and analogue
output signals.
Note:
The serial enable s
witch must be open (no connecon) and the slide switch must be in
the RS232 posion. Refer to Connect the parallel control and monitoring on page 40.
Refer to Connect the parallel control and monitoring on page 40 for more instrucons
about how to use the parallel interface.
A system that is in operaon with a parallel connecon only is not capable to adjust the
conguraon sengs stored in the controller (for example, power limit seng or
