provide. Alternavely the logic in
terface can be connected to the customer control
equipment.
For more informaon about the logic interface, refer to Logic interface connector on
page 35.
3.4.1 USB interface
The USB service port is designed to work in conjuncon with Edwards nST2 PC soware.
The primary purpose of this interface is to allow easy conguraon of the nEXT pump.
Some operaonal capabilies are provided, including START/STOP, to enable pump
operaonal checks to be made via the USB service port. However it is not intended as an
industrial control interface for unaended machine to machine (M2M) control.
The USB service port will support communicaons concurrently with the serial interface
in the logic interface connector. This enables the pump status and logs to be reviewed,
and the pump to be congured while the pump is installed and running.
The USB service port can only be used when the 48V d.c. power is applied.
3.4.2 Parallel control and monitoring
The simple parallel interface is a quick and easy way to control the pump.
This is the same interface used on exisng 24 V Edwards Turbo Pumps. The controls that
are available to use are start and standby. The system status can be monitored using the
normal, fail and analogue output signals.
Refer to Connect the parallel control and monitoring on page 58 for more detailed
instrucons of how to use the parallel interface.
A system operang with only a parallel connecon is not capable of adjusng the
conguraon sengs stored in the motor controller (for example, power limit seng or
controlled venng opons). In this case, all these features would be at their factory
default sengs. It is possible to manually adjust the standby speed if standby mode is
selected, however, the motor controller should be congured separately before ng
the pump to the system. This is covered in more detail in Parallel control with serial
monitoring or serial conguraon on page 20 and Motor controller conguraon (serial
conguraon) on page 20.
3.4.3 Serial control and monitoring
The serial communicaons link provides complete control and monitoring by using just
three signal lines.
The serial data lines share the same connector pins as the parallel signals standby and
fail. The serial data lines can be congured to provide an RS485 compliant or RS232
compable interface by seng the posion of the RS485/CAN/RS232 slide switch.
The serial enable signal must be linked to 0 V for the system to accept commands from
the serial link. This is a safety feature and acts as an interlock. For pure serial control, the
parallel start signal will be le unconnected.
The motor controller will sll provide the normal and analogue signals on the logic
interface connector even when operang under serial control. The status of the normal
