► Connect only suitable devices to the bus system. The interface with the designation “RS-485” is intended for the connection of a Pfeiffer Vacuum display and control unit (DCU or HPU) or an external computer. The connections are galvanically safe and are isolated from the maximum supply voltage for the electronic drive unit.

Important settings and function-related characteristics are factory-programmed into the electronic drive unit as parameters. Each parameter has a three-digit number and a description. The use of the parame- ter is possible via Pfeiffer Vacuum displays and control panels, or externally via RS-485 using Pfeiffer Vacuum protocol.

Operation 7 Operation 7.1 Configuring the connections with the Pfeiffer Vacuum parameter set The electronic drive unit is pre-configured with the factory default basic functions and is ready for opera- tion. For individual requirements, you can configure most connections for the electronic drive unit with the parameter set.
Only for vacuum pumps with a temperature management system (TMS) The standard version of the TC 110 electronic drive unit can operate a maximum of 2 accessory outputs via connection cables. As a result, parameters [P:037] and [P:038] are without effect.
► Make sure that the gas mode is set correctly by [P:027] in the electronic drive unit. ► Consult Pfeiffer Vacuum before you use gases with higher molecular masses (> 80). High gas throughput and high rotation speed lead to strong friction heating of the rotor. To avoid over- heating, power to rotation speed characteristics are implemented in the electronic drive unit.
Operation characteristic enables the operation of the turbopump at any rotation speed with the maximum permissi- ble gas throughput without thermally overloading the turbopump. The maximum power consumption de- pends on the gas type. 3 characteristics are available for the parameterization in order to completely exhaust the turbopump's capacity for each gas type.
Operation 7.2.4 Rotation speed switch points You can use the rotation speed switch point for the “turbopump operational for the process” message. Exceeding or underrunning the active rotation speed switch point activates or deactivates a signal at the pre-configured output on the electronic drive unit and at the status parameter [P:302]. Rotation speed switch point 1 [P:017] = 0 f (%)
3. Check the set rotation speed (parameter [P:308] or [P:397]). 7.2.6 Standby Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends standby mode for the turbopump during process and production stops. When standby mode is active, the electronic drive unit reduces the rotation speed of the turbo pump.
Fluctuations in the power consumption of idling turbopumps and varying fore-vac- uum pressures of the backing pumps require individual settings of the interval operation. Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends interval operation between 5 and 10 hPa. A pressure gauge and a dosing valve are required to set the switching thresholds.
► Set the connections via the parameters [P:035], [P:036], [P:037] or [P:038]. The standard version of the TC 110 electronic drive unit can operate a maximum of 2 accessory outputs via connection cables. As a result, parameters [P:037] and [P:038] are without effect.
Operation Configuring the heating Activation of the connected housing heating depends on the rotation speed switch point 1 (factory set- ting 80% x f Nominal ► Switch the heating on or off with parameter [P:001]. Configuring the fan 1. Set the selected parameter to “0” for continuous operation of the fan. 2.
7.5.1 Operating mode display via LED LEDs on the electronic drive unit show the basic operating states of the vacuum pump. A differentiated error and warning display is only possible for operation with the Pfeiffer Vacuum display and control unit or a PC.

Operation ● In order to avoid switching off the turbopump, the electronic drive unit already reduces the power consumption in case of exceeding the warning threshold for excess temperature. ─ Examples are an impermissible motor temperature, or impermissibly high housing tempera- ture.
