5.1.6 Acyclic data Writing parameters acyclically ► Use the “write record” service to write individual Pfeiffer Vacuum parameters acyclically. – The index in this regard is the Pfeiffer Vacuum parameter number. ► Enter a value in the "Unsigned32" or "Float32" format in the corresponding field.
Interfaces 5.2 Interface RS-485 The interface designated “RS-485” is intended for connecting a Pfeiffer Vacuum control unit or an exter- nal PC. The connections are galvanically safe and are isolated from the maximum supply voltage for the electronic drive unit. The electrical connections are optically decoupled internally.

The basic parameter set is set in the electronic drive unit ex-factory. For controlling con- nected external components (e.g. vacuum measuring equipment), additional parameters (extended parameter set) are available in the corresponding Pfeiffer Vacuum control units. ● Refer to the corresponding operating instructions of the respective components.
Operation 7 Operation 7.1 Configuring the connections with the Pfeiffer Vacuum parameter set The electronic drive unit is pre-configured with the factory default basic functions and is ready for opera- tion. For individual requirements, you can configure most connections for the electronic drive unit with the parameter set.
► Make sure that the gas mode is set correctly by [P:027] in the electronic drive unit. ► Consult Pfeiffer Vacuum before you use gases with higher molecular masses (> 80). High gas throughput and high rotation speed lead to strong friction heating of the rotor. To avoid over- heating, power to rotation speed characteristics are implemented in the electronic drive unit.
Operation 7.2.2 Set value power consumption Set parameter [P:708] When setting the specified power consumption below 100%, the run-up time is extended. 1. Set the parameter [P:708] to the required value in %. 2. Where necessary, adjust the parameter [P:700] RUTimeSVal to avoid error messages when starting up.
3. Check the set rotation speed (parameter [P:308] or [P:397]). 7.2.6 Standby Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends standby mode for the turbopump during process and production stops. When standby mode is active, the electronic drive unit reduces the rotation speed of the turbo pump.
Fluctuations in the power consumption of idling turbopumps and varying fore-vac- uum pressures of the backing pumps require individual settings of the interval operation. Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends interval operation between 5 and 10 hPa. A pressure gauge and a dosing valve are required to set the switching thresholds.
Operation 7.2.9 Backing pump standby mode In case you are using a Pfeiffer Vacuum backing pump with rotation speed control, this can be used in standby mode by configuring the digital output [P:019] or [P:024]. The power consumption of the turbo- pump has a direct influence on the rotation speed of the backing pump.
7.5.1 Operating mode display via LED LEDs on the electronic drive unit show the basic operating states of the vacuum pump. A differentiated error and warning display is only possible for operation with the Pfeiffer Vacuum display and control unit or a PC.
