Probable failures of the pumps can be processed in addition via the
digital inputs.
With this pump control, there are two different versions:
l Pump control 1: The upper switching point determines the switch-
off point for the relay, whereas the lower switching point
determines the switch-on point
l Pump control 2: The upper switching point determines the switch-
on point for the relay, whereas the lower switching point
determines the switch-off point
Two pumps should empty the vessel when a certain level is reached.
At 80 % filling, the pump with the shortest running time should switch
on. If the level nevertheless increases, a second pump should switch
on at 90 %. Both pumps should switch off again at 10 % filling.
Select in the DTM navigation section the menu items "Meas. loop -
Outputs - Relay".
l Set mode "Pump control 2" for relay 1 and 2.
l Enter the switching points for the concerned relays as follows:
- Relay 1 upper switching point = 80.0 %
- Relay 1 lower switching point = 10.0 %
- Relay 2 upper switching point = 90.0 %
- Relay 2 lower switching point = 10.0 %
The function of pump control 2 is shown in detail in the following
diagram. The previously described example is used as a basis.

With a pump control, there is also the option of switching on pump
monitoring. For this, a return signal on the respective digital input is
required. The as signment of the digital inputs to the relais is preset:
l Digital input 1 - Relay 1
l Digital input 2 - Relay 2
l Digital input 3 - Relay 3
