Destruction of the vacuum sensor due to overpressure (-CPE/-OPE) The exhaust duct is sealed tightly during the power ejector pulse. This can cause overpressure at the vacuum port and destroy the vacuum sensor. • Use power ejector pulse only in open vacuum systems. Festo — OVEM-...-LK — 2020-07e...

The monitoring functions are activated at the factory (except monitoring of the evacuation and pres- surisation times). The time monitoring can be activated through setting of the critical limit values SP1 (evacuation time) and SP2 (pressurisation time) in BDC4 è Tab. 26 Smart Sensor profile parameters Festo — OVEM-...-LK — 2020-07e...
SP1 by BDC1 or BDC2. The pressurisation time t is measured from the start of pressurisation to the time at which the pres- sure value (vacuum) falls below -50 mbar. Festo — OVEM-...-LK — 2020-07e...
Simplified Teach commands “BDCx Start” (Start Teach), “BDCx Stop” (Stop Teach) can be used independently of the switching function. The sequence of the teach points need not be con- sidered. – For all commands, the desired channel must first be selected. Festo — OVEM-...-LK — 2020-07e...
Transfer of block parameters by start and end commands è Tab. 32 Command code – Parameter changes (e.g. through teach-in) are blocked during the transfer. – In case of an invalid parameter set, the changed parameters are discarded and the previous para- meter set is reactivated.
