DESIGN AND FUNCTION Series 613 Design and Function Design Double seal of rotary feedthrough Integrated controller Double seal Coupling Plate Bearing Valve body Function The valve plate (5) acts as a throttling element and varies the conductance of the valve opening. The integrated controller (1) calculates the required plate position to achieve the setpoint pressure.
Series 613 DESIGN AND FUNCTION 3.2.1 Pressure control system overview and function Vacuum pressures are always absolute pressures unless explicitly specified as pressure differences. Valve Process chamber Gas inlet Pressure sensor(s) Sensor cable Controller and actuator Seff Cable to remote control unit Cable to power supply HV Pump Q / p...
DESIGN AND FUNCTION Series 613 3.2.1.1 Way of operation The controller compares the actual pressure in the process chamber given by the pressure sensor with the preset pressure. The controller uses the difference between actual and set pressure to calculate the correct position of the control valve. The controller drives the control valve into the correct position and the actual pressure again equals the set pressure.

INSTALLATION Series 613 Gasflow calculation for LEARN: Do not apply a different gasflow for learn than determined below. Otherwise pressure control performance may be insufficient. Required pressure / flow regime must be known to calculate the most suitable learn gas flow for a specific application. 1.
Series 613 INSTALLATION 4.11 Pressure Control The valve has four identical pressure controller units. Controller Selector defines which unit is used for the pressure control. Most applications do not need more than one controller units. But if the result of the pressure control does not meet the expectations, the different controller units can be an option for optimization: With the four controller units it’s possible to use an own controller unit for a specific pressure working point.
INSTALLATION Series 613 4.11.1 Pressure control operation with 2 sensors If 2 sensor operation is enabled, changeover between the sensors is done automatically during pressure control. For configuration refer to chapter «Setup procedure». We recommend a ratio of 10:1 between the pressure gauges. Max. ratio is 100:1. High range respectively low range pressure gauge may be either connected to sensor 1 or sensor 2 input.

INSTALLATION Series 613 4.11.2.2 Control Algorithm Depending on the Control Algorithm setting there are different parameters available to adjust the algorithm: Parameter Description Adaptive Gain Factor The Gain Factor is a control parameter to adapt the performance of the pressure control algorithm. A higher gain results in a faster response, higher over- / undershoots of pressure.

Series 613 INSTALLATION Gain factor adjustment The gain factor effects: Stability, Response time Adjustment range is from 0.0001 to 7.5. - Higher gain results in: faster response / higher over- / undershoot of pressure - Lower gain results in: slower response/ lower over- / undershoot of pressure Adjustment procedure: 1.

INSTALLATION Series 613 Setpoint ramp adjustment Setpoint ramp effects: Undershoot of pressure, Response time Adjustment range for Setpoint Ramp is from 0 to 10 s. This parameter defines the time that is used to decrease / raise pressure between 2 setpoints. Especially in pressure decrease situations at low flows pressure response can be improved much by adapting setpoint ramp time.

INSTALLATION Series 613 4.11.4.2 Tuning of control performance with fixed PI pressure controller Optimizing P gain and I gain This valve may be used for downstream or upstream pressure control depending on configuration. The PI parameters of the pressure controller require correct adjustment. These parameters must be set once during system setup and are stored in the device memory which is power fail save.
Page 57
Series 613 INSTALLATION Optimizing P gain While optimizing P gain, the gas flow determined above has to be constant all the time. Start optimization with P gain set to 1.0 and I gain set to 0.0. Set chamber pressure to SP2, wait until the pressure is stable. Set pressure to SP1. If the transition from SP2 to SP1 results in a significant pressure over shoot or even does not stabilize at all, the P gain is too high.

This straight line from start pressure to end pressure. The VAT soft pump controller requires a pump down time shorter than 10 sec. for good control results. If the required pump down time is longer than 10 sec., the pump down curve has to be partitioned into sections shorter than 10 sec.
Page 60
INSTALLATION Series 613 Optimizing P gain WE start by setting the P gain to 1.0 as a trial value and adjust according to the response. The pump down routine has to be controlled as follows: Move control valve into close position Start pump down by opening the pump isolation valve or starting the pump and sending the first pressure set point to the valve controller.
