Product description Product description Product identification 3.1.1 Product characteristics The electronic drive unit TC 1200 is an integrated component of the turbopump. It's pur- pose is to drive, monitor and control the entire pump. Characteristics TC 1200 Connection panel Standard (RS485)
High Density D-sub 26 pole female socket for the connection and configuration of a remote control. RS-485 M12 socket with screw coupling for the connection of a Pfeiffer Vacuum control unit or a PC. The use of a Y-connector enables the series connection in a bus system.
Do not independently modify or change the pump and electrical equipment. Make sure that the system is integrated in an emergency off safety circuit. Consult Pfeiffer Vacuum for special requirements. WARNING Danger due to lack of power disconnection device Pump and electronic drive unit are not equipped with a power disconnection device.
Remote control is possible via the 26-pin D-sub connector labelled "remote" on the elec- tronic drive unit. The accessible individual functions are mapped to "PLC levels". Remove the remote plug from the TC 1200 and connect a remote control unit. Pin as- signment of the connector according to table.
The digital inputs at connection "remote" are used to connect various functions of the electronic drive unit. Functions are assigned to the inputs DI1 - DI2 ex factory. These can be configured via interface RS-485 and the Pfeiffer Vacuum parameter set. DI1 (Enable venting) / Pin 2...
5.2.5 RS-485 One Pfeiffer Vacuum display and control panel (DCU or HPU) or an external PC can be connected respectively to the electronic drive unit via Pin 24 and Pin 25 of the connec- tion "remote" on the electronic drive unit.
Connection "RS-485" Connections A Pfeiffer Vacuum display and control panel (DCU or HPU) or an external PC can be connected to the electronic drive unit via the connection designated "RS-485". The inter- face is electrically isolated from the maximum supply voltage of the electronic drive unit.
Connection "RS-485" Cross-linking via the connection RS-485 USB/RS485-converter USB/RS485-converter RS 485 CAUTION Danger of electric shock The insulation measures of the bus system are designed only for use with safety extra- low voltage. Connect only suitable devices to the bus system. ...
All function-relevant variables of a turbopump are anchored in the electronic drive unit as parameters. Each parameter has a three-digit number and a designation. Parameters can be used via Pfeiffer Vacuum display and control units or via RS-485 with the Pfeiffer Vacuum protocol.

Ensure the gas mode is correctly set. Contact Pfeiffer Vacuum before using gases with a greater molecular mass (> 80). ● Gas mode "0" for gases with the molecular mass >39, e.g. argon. ● Gas mode "1" for gases with the molecular mass 39.
The Pfeiffer Vacuum parameter set To avoid rotation speed fluctuations, Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends setting a some- what lower frequency in rotation speed setting mode. 7.4.4 Set value power consumption Adjust the parameter [P:708] to the desired value in %.
The Pfeiffer Vacuum parameter set When the pumping station [P:010] is switched on, the rotation speed switchpoint 1 is the signal generator. When the pumping station is switched off, signal output and status que- ry are based on the rotation speed switchpoint 2. The signal output is governed by the hysteresis between the two switchpoints.
Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends the intermittend mode between 5 and 10 hPa. A pressure gauge and a dosing valve are required to set the switching thresholds.
The signal can also be used for switching a fore-vacuum safety valve. 7.4.11 Standby mode for the backing pump Connected Pfeiffer Vacuum backing pumps with speed control can be put in standby by configuring a digital output. The pump status signal switches off the backing pump when the turbo pump reaches the specified power consumption level;...

The Pfeiffer Vacuum parameter set Ongoing (and removed) error messages are reset. After a successfully completed self- test, the electronic drive unit sets the turbopump motor and all connected accessories into operation depending on their configuration. When the pumping station is activated, the motor of the turbopump can be switched off and on via the function [P:023].
