Observe the requirements of DIN EN 61340-5-1 and 5-2 to minimize or prevent the possibility of damage resulting from sudden electrostatic discharge. • Also take care not to touch electronic components when supply voltage is present. • Use ESD-compliant packaging when returning electronic components. (Contact GEA Tuchenhagen if you have any questions.)
Design and Function Function Function Operation Principle The T.VIS M-15 control top works with a microprocessor, which contains the software for the operation, visualization as well as the intelligent position detection. Pneumatic and electronic modules are located inside the control top. The pneumatic modules in this case are solenoid valves, the number of which varies between 0 and 3, depending on the intended purpose.
Design and Function Function To adjust the second sensor, the process valve must be moved once to its end position by an external solenoid valve. Control Top with Solenoid Valves The control top with solenoid valves acts as a control top. The positions are signalled in the same manner as on the control top without solenoid valves, with the difference being that the solenoid valve integrated in the base is operated in accordance with the control signals.
Design and Function Function Safety Air Exhaust/Installation Position To provide protection against excess pressure which can build up in the inside of the control top, a vent plug (E2) is fitted in the base. In operating mode, the exhaust air from the lifting actuators is discharged via this vent plug.
Connection Pneumatic Connections Connection Establishing Hose Connections To ensure reliable operation, the compressed air hoses must be cut exactly square. A hose cutter Requirement: Carry out the following steps: Shut off the compressed air supply. Use the hose cutter to cut the pneumatic hoses square. Push the air hose into the air connector (P) on the control top.
(23) make sure that the relevant air connection is depressurized. On most of the GEA Tuchenhagen valve types, solenoid valve Y1 internally guides the main control air through the switch bar into the main actuator. The external air connec- tion Y1 is provided in addition.
Connection Pneumatic Connections On most of the GEA Tuchenhagen valve types, solenoid valve Y1 internally guides the main control air through the switch bar into the main actuator. The external air connec- tion Y1 is provided in addition. The second solenoid valve is provided at connection Y2 or Y3, depending on its use.
