The "OUTPUT" LED blinks repeatedly while the "AUTOCOMP" function is running and the actual value output (terminals 17+18) is set to 0…3°C (corresponds to approx. 0VDC). The "AUTOCOMP" function must be activated either in the ROPEX visualization software ( section 10.12 "Diagnostic interface / visualization software (as of February 2007)" on page 50) or via the CAN interface (CAN message address 13) (default setting: AUTOCOMP off).
Time 10.10 Temperature diagnosis (as of February 2007) An additional temperature diagnosis can be activated in the ROPEX visualization software ( section 10.12 "Diagnostic interface / visualization software (as of February 2007)" on page 50). The RES-409 checks whether the ACTUAL temperature is within a settable tolerance band ("OK" window) either side of the SET temperature.
An additional delay time (0..9.9s) can be set via the CAN interface (CAN message address 10) or in the ROPEX visualization software. The first time the lower tolerance band limit is exceeded, the temperature diagnosis is not activated until the parameterized delay time has elapsed.
10.12 Diagnostic interface / visualization software (as of February 2007) An interface with a 6-pole Western socket is provided for system diagnostics and process visualization. This interface allows a data connection to be set up to the ROPEX visualization software using the ROPEX CI-USB-1 communication interface.
Controller functions This connection (at terminals 15+16) is necessary for high primary currents (continuous current > 5A, pulsed current > 25A). The switching amplifier should be wired as described in section 8.7 "Wiring diagram with booster connection (MOD 26)" on page 21. 10.14 Undervoltage detection (as of February 2007) Trouble-free operation of the temperature controller is guaranteed within the line voltage tolerance range specified in section 6 "Technical data"...
