Permissible ambient conditions 2.5 Proper use ● OmniControl control units are used exclusively to control the electronic drive units of Pfeiffer Vac- uum vacuum pumps and their accessories. ● The version with integrated power supply pack also supplies the operating voltage for the vacuum pump.
● Operating instructions 3.4 Function The OmniControl is a control unit for Pfeiffer Vacuum vacuum pumps with integrated electronic drive unit. This device provides an overview of all control parameters for the electronic drive unit. In addition, a gauge may be connected if the “gauge/IO” option is available.
► Connect only suitable devices to the bus system. The interface designated “RS-485” is intended for connecting a Pfeiffer Vacuum electronic drive unit or a gauge. The connectors are isolated from the maximum occurring supply voltage in a galvanically safe way.
Pressure measurement with the OmniControl The OmniControl offers a precise pressure display with existing gauge/IO function. The option designated “gauge/IO” in the OmniControl enables the connection of a Pfeiffer Vacuum pressure gauge. The connections in the OmniControl with integrated power supply pack are galvanically safe and are isolated from the maximum supply voltage for the OmniControl.
