5.1.3 Extended Operation (“Analog Control Mode”)
▪ In order to be able to control the pump with external signals (PLC) the mode “Analog Control
Mode” has to be set with the display buttons. The “UP” and “Down” buttons have to be pressed
simultaneously during 5 seconds. The display should feedback the change by blinking between
the stored speed value and “An”. The chosen mode is then stored in the EEPROM of the
controller.
▪ The system and levitation can be enabled/disabled with the digital input on the “USER
INTERFACE” connector (see Table 12). When disabling the running system, the speed is
automatically reduced to 0 rpm and the impeller is smoothly touched down without grinding the
wall.
▪ The speed can be set with an analog signal on the “USER INTERFACE” connector according to
Table 12. It is strongly recommended to use galvanic separated signal values
▪ For monitoring purposes a digital output on the “USER INTERFACE” connector (see Table 12)
indicates an error. In case of an error the codes described in Table 14 are displayed (blinking
between “An” and the according code number)
5.1.4 Error Display on the Integrated Panel
Motor cable (power wires) not connected to controller
Motor cable (sensor wires) not connected to controller
Over current in the bearing coils
Over current in the drive coils
DC-link voltage error < 90 VDC or > 378 VDC
(Corresponds to supply voltage of < 64 VAC or > 267 VAC)
If the voltage is out of range the system starts to reduce the speed to 0 rpm and the controller goes into an
error state.

Communication problems EEPROM Motor
Controller temp. over 80 °C or more than 10 minutes above 70 °C
Motor temp. over 100 °C or more than 10 minutes above 90 °C
Dry running of pump circuit:
- Pump keeps running on reduced speed (5000 rpm)
- The system accelerates to the original speed value when the pump is refilled with liquid
- Note that the speed is only reduced during dry running if the pump speed was ≥ 6000 rpm.

- In case of an error the system can only be restarted with a reset or a power supply restart
- For other configurations of error codes refer to alternate controller or firmware documentation
