We also wish to point out that the transformer which is used must be designed in accordance with VDE 0551/EN 61558 or UL 5058 for safety reasons. July 12, 2020 J. Kühner (CEO) ROPEX Industrie-Elektronik GmbH Adolf-Heim-Str. 4 74321 Bietigheim-Bissingen (Germany) Page 6...
® This RESISTRON temperature controller is part of the “Series 5000”, whose main characteristic is micropro- ® cessor technology. All RESISTRON temperature controllers provide temperature regulation of heating elements as are used in a variety of foil sealing processes. The most common heating elements include: •...

If this overcurrent protective device is not sufficient for the sealing application, two separate overcurrent pro- tective devices must be provided for the controller and the sealing application ( ROPEX application report). The overcurrent protective device must be located in the immediate vicinity of the device.

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.

Proceed as follows when starting up the controller for the first time: 1. Switch off network voltage; verify that no voltage is present. 2. Set the coding switch on the device in accordance with the ROPEX application report and the heating element used (section 7.2 "Device configuration" on page 16).

If zeroing was not performed correctly, the red “ALARM” LED flashes slowly (1 Hz). Then configuration of the controller is not correct ( section 7.2 "Device configuration" on page 16, ROPEX application report). After device configuration is correct, perform zeroing again.

The connection line between controller and potentiometer must be screened. When the ROPEX precision potentiometer PD-x (PD-03 for 300 °C or PD-05 for 500 °C) is used, the set SET- POINT temperature can be set exactly with the help of the numbers in the viewing window of the fine drive button.
A display instrument can be attached to this output for visualisation of the heating element temperature. The ROPEX temperature display ATR-x in its overall characteristics (size, scaling, dynamic behaviour) is optimally suited for this use and can be used for this, if needed ( section 13 "How to order" on page 45).
Device functions The AUTOCAL is activated through a 24 VDC pulse at terminals 5+13. 24 VDC RES-5027 AUTOCAL Max. 6 mA ≥ HIGH: 12 VDC AUTOCAL ≤ LOW: 2 VDC 0.1…5 s The automatic calibration process lasts about 10…15 seconds. The heating element is not additionally heated during this process.
Device functions The START signal is activated through a 24 VDC signal to the terminals 6+13. 24 VDC RES-5027 START (HEAT) max. 6 mA ≥ HIGH: 12 VDC START (HEAT) ≤ LOW: 2 VDC During execution of the AUTOCAL function or when the RESET signal is active, activation of the START signal is not accepted.
Measurement impulse duration The length of the measurement impulses generated by the controller can be set with this parameter. For certain applications, it can be necessary to lengthen the measurement impulse beyond the standard of 1.7 ms ( ROPEX application report).
In special welding applications, it may be necessary to compensate the phase displacement between the U measurement signals ( ROPEX application report). Use of the AUTOCOMP function can be necessary here. The AUTOCOMP function must be enabled for use with the ROPEX visualisation software ( section 8.14 "USB ®...

Here, the RES-5027 checks whether the ACTUAL temperature lies within a settable “good window”...
309, 310 is output and the alarm relay switches on. A delay time (0...9.9 s.) can also be set with the ROPEX visualisation software. After the lower tolerance band limit is exceeded, the temperature diagnosis takes place only after the parameterised delay time has expired. As a result, the temperature diagnosis can be intentionally suppressed, such as during a temperature drop caused by closing the welding jaws.

Device functions ® ROPEX visualisation software ( section 8.14 "USB interface for visualisation software ROPEXvisual " on page 32). The error search can thus be performed even more effectively. Evaluation of the actual value output for detection of an error message - e.g. in the higher-order controller - must be done with an adapted tolerance window to avoid incorrect evaluations.
