  • Page 8: Introduction/General Description

    Chapter 1 - The 316 VGC Control Unit 1.1 Introduction/General Description The Series 316 Vacuum Gauge Controller (VGC) measures pressures from 1 x 10 Torr (1 x 10 mbar or 1 x 10 pa) to atmosphere, depending on the transducers used. Modules are available to operate Convectron, capacitance manometer, and thermocouple gauges with three pressures displayed simultaneously.

    1.2 Installation 1.2.1 Line Voltage Selection Line voltages of 90-110 or 105-125 or 220-240 volts are user selectable via jumpers on the power supply PC board within the controller. The factory preset line voltage and fuse rating are marked on the rear panel. Compare your unit to Figure 1-1 to determine if it is configured for your requirements.

    1.3 Mounting Configurations Figure 1-3 illustrates the various configurations available for mounting the 316 control unit and power supply. Note that when installing a mounting tab (8) into the left side of the control unit, the door should be open. The bracket (9) used to connect two control units for side by side rack mounting is not symmetrical.
  • Page 13: Instrument Grounding

    1.4.1 Instrument Grounding For safe operation, the Series 316 VGC controller must be connected to an AC power source which includes a ground wire. This power ground is generally a sufficient safety precaution. A grounding stud is provided on the rear panel of the power supply module to be uses as a separate earth ground. Ground all metal parts of your vacuum system separately to power or earth ground.

    elastic properties of the metal of the diaphragm. For this reason, large pressure excursions, such as occur when the system is raised to atmospheric pressure, can cause offsets to the pressure reading. The diaphragm is also extremely sensitive to temperature effects, and although it may be held in a temperature controlled chamber, this temperature control is never perfect, resulting in further perturbations to the devices theoretical accuracy.

    2.1.7 Sensor Failure If the gauge tube becomes disconnected from the controller or if the sensor wire in the gauge tube fails, the controller will indicate 9.99E+9. If the gauge is unplugged from a powered controller, there might be an instantaneous (0 to 0.2 seconds) drop in the pressure indication and the process control relays could activate for this brief time, depending on the order in which the gauge tube pins break contact.

  • Page 33: Convectron Gauge Calibration And Maintenance

    2.5 Convectron Gauge Calibration and Maintenance Each Convectron gauge tube is individually calibrated for N and air prior to leaving the factory. The Convectron gauge tube itself has a temperature compensated design. Each controller is also individually calibrated to provide accurate readout of N and air pressure with any calibrated tube.
  • Page 34: Cleaning The Gauge Tube

    Figure 2-12 Convectron Modules, Top View (Controller Cover Removed) 2.5.4 Cleaning the Gauge Tube The Convectron gauge can be baked to 150 °C. See Section 2.6 on for a list of materials exposed to vacuum. When the fine sensor wire is so contaminated with oil or other films that its emissivity or its diameter is appreciably altered, a change of calibration will result.

    2.6 Theory of Operation The Convectron transducer is represented in Figure 2-13 as R1, R2, R3, and R4. These four resistances form the legs of a bridge circuit, with R1 designating the sensor wire of the transducer. R2 is a resistive network in the tube which compensates for changes in the ambient temperature.

  • Page 47: Calibration

    4.5 Calibration 4.5.1 Initial Transducer Calibration When first installed, your transducer zero-adjust should be set using a voltmeter to read zero when system pressure is below the minimum pressure range of the transducer. Refer to the documentation accompanying your capacitance manometer transducer for instructions on this procedure. You should also, at this time, adjust the VAC on the 316 controller with the gauge not attached to the controller, per the instructions below.

    5.2.1 Process Control System Connections Prior to connecting the process controls to the system, it is recommended that the following steps be followed. If application assistance is desired, contact a Brooks Automation, Inc. Customer Service Representative. 1. Develop a logic diagram of the process control function.
  • Page 51: Process Control Operation

    Figure 5-1 Pin Assignments/Connector 5.3 Process Control Operation At all times the status of the 6 relays are displayed in the relay status LEDs on the 316 front panel. The LEDs do not indicate whether the gauge pressure is above or below the programmed setpoint, since setpoint polarity and manual override status can result in activation above or below the setpoint.
  • Page 52: To Display A Setpoint

    To Display a Setpoint Refer to Figure 5-3 when displaying setpoints. 1. Rotate the Channel Selector thumbwheel to the number of the channel you want to display. 2. Press the Up or the Down SET button and release. The programmed setpoint will appear for 2 seconds in the same display line as the associated transducer: Setpoints 1 and 2 appear in display 1.
  • Page 53: Relay Polarity Setting

    scrolled through this stored pressure value, the relay will change state unless the manual override switch is in a manual operation position. There is a programmed 10% hysteresis on each process control setpoint. For example, with a pressure setpoint of 6.3 Torr the relay will activate when the display reaches 6.2 Torr (for falling pressure) and will deactivate when the pressure rises to one significant digit above the setpoint plus 10%, i.e., 6.3 + 0.6 + 0.1 or 7 Torr.
  • Page 54: Manual Override

    5.3.3 Manual Override The six three-position switches on the front of the process control module allow override of the programmed setpoints at any time. When moved to the right, the relay is activated. When moved to the left, the relay is deactivated.
