Type 8611 Functions of the Configuration Level FUNCTIONS OF THE CONFIGURATION LEVEL 12.1. General Description In the following description of the menu options and their operating structures, the entire software of the eCONTROL Type 8611 is explained. This complete software scope is only available for the control cabinet model of the eCONTROL Type 8611. The menu structure may vary depending on the device model (wall, valve, rail or fitting assembly). In accor- dance with the device model, only menu options that are logically purposeful for the application area can be selected. This pre-selection is made upon delivery of the controller in accordance with the chosen article number. Any changes made within the configuration level are only stored after returning to the process oper- ating level. Access to the configuration level can be protected by a code. Any unauthorized persons are thus denied access and cannot change the parameters.
Type 8611 Functions of the Configuration Level 12.2. Menu options of the configuration level Selection of control variable, actuating element and process value input. MODE See Chapter 12.3 Selection of measuring units and decimal places. UNIT See chapter 12.4 Selection and scaling of set-point value default. SETP See chapter 12.5 Entry of ratio factor for ratio control (MODE = RATI).
Type 8611 Functions of the Configuration Level 12.3. MODE - Selection of control variable, actuating element and process value input The most important basic settings of the controller are made in this menu option. The setting is done in 3 successive steps. • Selection of control variable (e.g. flow-rate control, pressure control, etc.) • Selection of actuating element (e.g. proportional valve, process valve, etc.) • Selection of process value input (e.g. 4 - 20 mA, frequency, etc.) The MODE menu option is at the configuration level. To go there, press and hold the ENTER key (> 5 s) (see chapter “9.2. Operating levels and operating states”). How the settings are made in the menu is explained below.

Type 8611 Functions of the Configuration Level 12.3.1. RATI - Selection of external sensors for ratio control A ratio control can easily be implemented by combining the compact controller Type 8611 with flow-rate fitting S030 and a second flow-rate sensor. In a ratio control, the controlled flow-rate Q is adapted to the uncontrolled flow-rate Q so that it corresponds to a specified mixture ratio. The flow-rate is measured f or Q using the Bürkert flow-rate fitting of Type S030 for Q using a second external flow-rate sensor. The following relation exists between Q and Q = RFAC · Q : controlled flow-rate : uncontrolled flow-rate RFAC: r atio factor (in %) (for selection see chapter “11.6.

SCV - Continuous control using proportional valve The settings of the eCONTROL Type 8611 are made in this menu if a proportional valve is used. It is very important and crucial for a good control that the control frequency (PWM frequency) is set according to the selected valve type.

τ 60 % 100 % Pulse duty factor Figure 31: PWM frequency / pulse duty factor Note for easy setting of the PWM frequency All Bürkert proportional valves with the corresponding PWM frequency are saved in the menu of the eCONTROL Type 8611 and can be selected there. The table with the PWM frequencies is available on the internet at country.burkert.com. By setting the valve type, the two limit frequencies of the PWM control (f and f ) are set. Depending on the working point, the actual output frequency is in this range. The values allocated to the valve types were determined empirically from the behavior of a large number of individual devices of the respective type. For optimizing the control behavior, the pulse duty factor is limited depending on the valve type as there are no significant changes in the flow-rate in the upper range of the pulse duty factor. WARNING Danger due to malfunction if an incorrect valve type is selected! Selecting the wrong valve type may result in damage at the valve and in malfunction.

Type 8611 Functions of the Configuration Level 12.3.3. PCV - Quasi-continuous control using process valve Use: Using this function, it is possible to implement the control of a process valve without position feedback. This is in particular interesting if the process valve cannot be designed with position feedback due to rough process conditions (e.g. high temperature, high humidity, little space requirement). Parameterization: Single-acting, pneumatically operated control valves with "normal closed" function can be operated.
