Revision list Revision list Version Change • Creation of documentation General information ® This CIRUS temperature controller is manufactured according to DIN EN 61010-1. In the course of its manufacture it passed through quality assurance, whereby it was subjected to extensive inspections and tests. As a result of this, the product left our factory in perfect condition.
The use of an original ROPEX line filter is mandatory in order to comply with the standards and provisions mentioned in section 2.7 "Standards / CE marking" on page 4. This device must be installed and connected according to the instructions contained in section "Power supply"...
Compliance with these standards and provisions is only guaranteed if original accessories and / or peripheral components approved by ROPEX are used. If not, then the equipment is operated on the user's own responsibility. The CE marking on the controller confirms that the device itself complies with the above-mentioned standards.
Exact compliance with the installation and wiring instructions is essential. The system has been evolved and optimized by ROPEX GmbH in an intensive development process. Users who follow our technical recommendations will profit from the unique functionality of this technology, which reduces the customer's effort for installation, commissioning and maintenance to a minimum.
Device features A highly dynamic thermoelectric control loop is established in this way because purely electrical variables are measured in rapid succession and the heating layer of the UPT heating element has a small mass. Temperature impulse Current impulses Time Thanks to the microprocessor based technology, the controller has an optimized control algorithm as well as numerous functions tailored to specific tasks such as AUTOCAL, ALARM with error diagnosis etc.
5. Ensure an adequate cable cross-section for the primary and secondary circuits (Ä Application Report). 6. Use only ROPEX impulse transformers or transformers approved by ROPEX. Please note the power, duty cycle, and primary and secondary voltages (Ä Application Report).

If one such device is not adequate for the heatsealing application, two separate overcurrent protective devices should be provided – one for the controller and one for the application ( ROPEX Application Report). The overcurrent protective device must be located directly adjacent to the controller.
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 CIRUS 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.

Device functions In addition to the functions shown above, the LEDs also indicate various controller operating states. These states are described in detail in the table below: Blinks slowly (1 Hz) Blinks fast (4 Hz) Lit continuously AUTOCAL requested but RS bit set (reset) function blocked (e.g.
The ESI file ROPEX RES-5012 UPT-6012 V1.2.xml of the UPT-6012 contains all essential controller information for the con- figuration, e.g. the I/O data description, parameter descriptions, error messages etc. The ESI file can be requested by e-mail (support@ropex.de) or downloaded from our website (https://ropex.de).
Device functions Start temperature (signed) Name: Bit no.: Input data The term "input data" refers to the data that is transferred from the EtherCAT ® master to the UPT-6012. It contains the set point as well as the control functions such as START or AUTOCAL for the UPT-6012. These functions are explained in the following.
Page 23
Device functions The base resistance of the heatsealing element increases during the operation continuously (deter- mined by the design). Therfore the AUTOCAL function must be performed approximately every 100000 sealing cycles to prevent measurement errors of the ACTUAL temperature. 8.5.2 Start (ST) When the START bit is set (ST bit = 1), the controller’s internal set / actual comparison is enabled and the heating element is heated to the SET temperature.
Device functions This reference value serves to calculate the deviation from the calibration value for all subsequent calibrations (ini- tiated with the AC bit). This deviation helps you assess aging of the heating element. The deviation from the calibration value is queried by means of the object 0x4306. 8.5.6 Channel selection (CH0…CH2) The temperature controller has separate memories for up to eight calibration data records.

Device functions 8.6.4 Warning active (WA) This bit can be set in addition to the AL bit. If the WA bit is set, a warning is output to indicate the current fault. In this case, the alarm relay is not active. 8.6.5 Temperature achieved (TE) The TE bit is set if the actual temperature exceeds 95% of the set temperature.

Slowly increase the correction factor, starting either with the lowest value (50%) or with the value recommended in the ROPEX Application Report minus 25%, until the actual temperature at the end of the heating impulse cor- responds to the set temperature.

Device functions Start temperature if cooling Temperature system faulty Set start temperature Time Start temperature if cooling system OK If the cooling system is intact, curve 1) applies. If the cooling system is faulty, curve 2) applies instead because the water is no longer cooled. The temperature never falls below the value set with this menu step. In this case, the controller ignores the next heatup command.

The high and low tolerance limits cannot be set in the ROPEX visualization software. The same limits apply as with the TO bit. They can only be set in the parameter data ( section 8.7 "Object dictionary" on page 28).

Device functions If any new events occur while this page is displayed, you do not see them until you refresh the list by clicking on the "Protocol" menu again. 8.8.5 Graphic page The temperature controller has an internal memory which can store temperature curves over a period of up to 5 seconds.
Device functions These initial calibration resistances are the basis for the calculation of the calibration deviation. Each execution of the AUTOCAL function will calculate both, the absolute calibration resistance and likewise the percentual calibra- tion deviation towards the initial calibration resistance. These values are displayed on the Calibration page.
Device functions 8.10 Temperature meter (actual value output) The UPT-6012 supplies an analog 0…10 VDC signal, which is proportional to the real ACTUAL temperature, at terminals 17+18. UPT-6012 Max. 5mA Actual value output 0…10 VDC 0…10 VDC Temperature meter e.g. ATR-3 Voltage values: 0 VDC 0 °C...
An indicating instrument can be connected to this output in order to visualize the temperature of the heating ele- ment. The ROPEX ATR-x temperature meter is optimally adapted to this application in every respect (size, scale, dynamic behaviour) and can be used for this, if needed ( section 13 "How to order" on page 56).
The number of heatsealing cycles executed since the controller was shipped is stored in the internal memory (ST bit = 1). This is a read-only counter which cannot be reset. It can be displayed in the ROPEX visualization soft- ®...
Device functions The built-in clock can be set and read out in the ROPEX visualization software ( section 8.12 "USB interface for ® visualization software ROPEXvisual " on page 44) or using the acyclic services of the EtherCAT ® interface. The date and time can be read out but not set via the integrated server.
If a ROPEX temperature meter (e.g. an ATR-x) is connected to the controller’s analog output, the temperature indication can be directly assigned to the error codes if an alarm is signalled.
