DESIGN AND FUNCTION Series 655 Function The valve ‘gate’ (1) acts, due to its pendulum motion, as a throttling element and varies the conductance of the valve opening. The integrated controller IC2 calculates the required gate position to achieve the set point pressure. Actuation is performed by 2 stepper motors, one for pendulum and the second for stroke.

DESIGN AND FUNCTION Series 655 3.2.1.1 Way of operation The controller compares the actual pressure in the process chamber given by the pressure sensor with the preset pressure. The controller uses the difference between actual and set pressure to calculate the correct position of the control valve. The controller drives the control valve into the correct position and the actual pressure again equals the set pressure.

INSTALLATION Series 655 4.7.3 Zero adjust Zero Adjust allows for the compensation of the sensor offset voltage. When Zero Adjust is performed the current value at the sensor input is equated to Zero.Adjust Target Pressure. In case of a 2 sensor system both sensor inputs will be adjusted. Note: A maximum offset voltage of +/- 1.4 V can be compensated.
Series 655 INSTALLATION pressure reading is the result. Pressure control configuration The valve has four identical pressure controller units. Controller Selector defines which unit is used for the pressure control. Most applications do not need more than one controller units. But if the result of the pressure control does not meet the expectations, the different controller units can be an option for optimization: With the four controller units it’s possible to use an own controller unit for a specific pressure working point.
INSTALLATION Series 655 4.8.1 Control Algorithm Algorithm Description Adaptive This is the most dynamic control algorithm. Before using adaptive control algorithm, a special procedure called “learn” must be executed first (see chapter below). The valve will observe the behavior of the vacuum system by moving the valve to different positions.

Series 655 INSTALLATION Parameter Description Bank Selection Select one of four learn bank to place the result of the learn procedure. Important: It’s important that after the learn pressure controller select this learn bank! Pressure Limit [SFS] Set learn limit pressure (to which pressure the learn shall be executed). The value is related to the sensor full scale of high sensor.

INSTALLATION Series 655 Gain factor adjustment The gain factor effects: Stability, Response time Adjustment range is from 0.0001 to 7.5. - Higher gain results in: faster response / higher over- / undershoot of pressure - Lower gain results in: slower response/ lower over- / undershoot of pressure Adjustment procedure: 1.

Series 655 INSTALLATION Setpoint ramp adjustment Setpoint ramp effects: Undershoot of pressure, Response time Adjustment range for Setpoint Ramp is from 0 to 10 s. This parameter defines the time that is used to decrease / raise pressure between 2 setpoints. Especially in pressure decrease situations at low flows pressure response can be improved much by adapting setpoint ramp time.

Series 655 INSTALLATION 4.8.5.2 Tuning of control performance with fixed PI pressure controller Optimizing P gain and I gain This valve may be used for downstream or upstream pressure control depending on configuration. The PI parameters of the pressure controller require correct adjustment. These parameters must be set once during system setup and are stored in the device memory which is power fail save.
Page 54
INSTALLATION Series 655 Optimizing P gain While optimizing P gain, the gas flow determined above has to be constant all the time. Start optimization with P gain set to 1.0 and I gain set to 0.0. Set chamber pressure to SP2, wait until the pressure is stable. Set pressure to SP1. If the transition from SP2 to SP1 results in a significant pressure over shoot or even does not stabilize at all, the P gain is too high.

The VAT soft pump controller requires a pump down time shorter than 10 sec. for good control results. If the required pump down time is longer than 10 sec., the pump down curve has to be partitioned into sections shorter than 10 sec.
Page 57
Series 655 INSTALLATION Optimizing P gain WE start by setting the P gain to 1.0 as a trial value and adjust according to the response. The pump down routine has to be controlled as follows: Move control valve into close position Start pump down by opening the pump isolation valve or starting the pump and sending the first pressure set point to the valve controller.
