Setting the register value 276 (0x0128) will command the VG10 to grip at 20 %
vacuum.
Setting the register value 296 (0x0128) will command the VG10 to grip at 40 %
vacuum.
Setting the register value 331 (0x014B) will command the VG10 to grip at 75 %
vacuum.
Setting the register value 512 (0x0200) will command the VG10 to idle the channel.
1 / 0x0001, Channel B Control (Read + write)
This register allows for control of channel B. See 0: Channel A Control above.
2 / 0x0002, Current limit (Read + write)
Set and read the current limit. The limit is provided and must be given in mA (milli-
amperes). The limit is 500mA per default and should never be set above 1000 mA.
18 / 0x0012, Channel A actual vacuum (Read only)
Reads the actual vacuum on Channel A. The vacuum is provided in permille (1/1000)
absolute vacuum. Please note that this differs from the setpoint given in percent, as
extra accuracy is desirable on the actual vacuum.
19 / 0x0013, Channel B actual vacuum (Read only)
Same as 18, but for Channel B.
20 / 0x0014, Supply current (Read only)
Reads the actual supply current in mA (milliamperes). Use this reading for diagnostics
only. Should never be used for process control.
21 / 0x0015, Supply voltage (Read only)
Reads the actual supply voltage in mV (millivolts). Use this reading for diagnostics
only. Should never be used for process control.
22 / 0x0016, Internal 5V supply voltage (Read only)
Reads the actual voltage of the internal 5V supply in mV (millivolts). Use this reading
for diagnostics only. Should never be used for process control.
23 / 0x0017, Temperature (Read only)
Reads the actual internal temperature in 1/100 degrees Celsius. Use this reading for
diagnostics only. Should never be used for process control.
24 / 0x0018, Pump speed (Read only)
Reads the current pump motor speed in RPM (rotations per minute). Use this reading
for diagnostics only. Should never be used for process control.
