Application Application ® This RESISTRON temperature controller is an integral part of the "series 400", the outstanding feature of which is its microprocessor technology. All RESISTRON temperature controllers are used to control the temperature of heating elements (heatsealing bands, beaded bands, cutting wires, heatsealing blades, solder elements etc.), as required in a variety of heatsealing processes.
4. Wire the system in accordance with the instructions in section 5.3 "Power supply" on page 10, section 5.6 "Aux- iliary voltage" on page 13 and the ROPEX Application Report. The information provided in section 5.2 "Instal- lation steps" on page 9 must be heeded additionally.

Connect core to ground. Use transformers with a one section bobbin. The power, duty cycle and voltage values must be deter- mined individually according to the application ( ROPEX SEC. Application Report and "Accessories" leaflet for impulse transformers).
ROPEX line filters are specially optimized for use in RESISTRON control loops. Providing that they are installed and wired correctly, they guarantee compliance with the EMC limit values. You can find the exact specification of the line filter in the ROPEX Application Report calculated for your particular heatsealing application.

3. In the case of controllers manufactured up to December 2005, the settings of the DIP switches on the controller are indicated in the ROPEX Application Report and depend on the heatsealing band that is used (section 6.2 "Controller configuration" on page 15).

If the zero point has not been calibrated successfully, the red "ALARM" LED blinks slowly (1Hz). In this case the controller configuration is incorrect ( section 6.2 "Controller configuration" on page 15 and ROPEX Appli- cation Report). Repeat the calibration after the controller has been configured correctly.

The connecting wires between the controller and the potentiometer must be shielded. If a ROPEX PD-3 precision potentiometer is used, the SET temperature can be adjusted exactly with the help of the digital display in the window of the dial. The number which appears on the display corresponds to the SET temperature in °C.
An indicating instrument can be connected to this output in order to visualize the temperature of the heatsealing band. The characteristics of the ROPEX ATR-3 temperature meter (size, scaling, dynamic response) are ideally suited to this application and this instrument should therefore always be used ( section 12 "How to order" on page 31).
Controller functions This meter moreover permits disturbances in the control loop (loose connections, contacting or wiring problems) as well as any line disturbances to be observed extremely effectively and interpreted accordingly. The same applies if mutual interference occurs between several neighboring control loops. If an alarm is signaled, the voltage at this analog output jumps back and forth at approx.
Controller functions The automatic calibration process takes around 10…15seconds. The heatsealing band is not heated during this process. The yellow LED on the front panel lights up when the "AUTOCAL" function is active. The actual value output (terminals 11+12) is 0…3°C (corresponds to app. 0 VDC). If the temperature of the heatsealing band varies on controllers manufactured as of January 2006, the "AUTOCAL"...
Controller functions The heatsealing band is not heated up if the "START" signal is activated while an error message is indicated. "RESET" signal ® The RESISTRON temperature controller RES-402 can be reset by means of an external "RESET" signal at terminals 17+12).
Diagnostic interface/visualization software (as of January 2006) An interface with a 6-pole Modular socket (RJ-12) is provided for systemdiagnostics and process visualization. This interface allows a data connection to be set up to the ROPEX visualization software using the ROPEX com- munication interface CI-USB-1.
Controller functions If an error message is reset using the "RESET" signal, the "RESET" signal must be deactivated first. Invalid error messages may appear when the controller is switched off owing to the undefined oper- ating state. This must be taken into account when they are evaluated by the higher-level controller (e.g.
