Useful notes / tips and tricks The service values (see 15.) include not only current measurement values and operating states, but also all of the settings for the con- troller. Write the service values down just once after commissioning has been successfully completed. In the event of uncertainty as to the control response or malfunctions the service values are a proven and successful method for remote diagnosis.
