Description The ES 6v measures the net pressure by means of a pressure sensor (P), connected to the I/O 2 module in the ES 6v cubicle. The ES 6v controls the vacuum pumps in the network in order to keep the pressure within the limits of the programmed pressure band.
The vacuum pump is shut down • Its emergency stop button is pressed • There is no communication with the ES 6v. • Equal wear Within the group of vacuum pumps that have the same priority, the available vacuum pump with the least running hours will be started first, vacuum pump with the most running hours will be stopped first.
Instruction book Installation instructions Procedure Fix the ES 6v to a wall (e.g. in the vacuum pump room), taking into account the following maximum • cable lengths: 250 m (820 ft) for a CAN network 500 m (1640 ft) if a repeater is installed, 970 m (3180 ft) if two •...
Connecting Atlas Copco vacuum pumps equipped with Elektronikon® MK5 regulators The simplest way to connect these machines to the ES 6v is via the CAN network. A single machine can be connected directly to the ES 6v or multiple machines can be linked together and then connected, as shown below:...
Local Area Network (LAN) CAN connections CAN addresses The ES 6v can be connected through a LAN (CAN technology). The connection point on the ES 6v is labelled LAN. For connections that are connected over LAN, appropriate CAN addresses must be used.
Page 17
Instruction book CAN address The ES 6v requires a CAN address between 1 and 30. By default, the CAN address of the ES 6v is 31. After the download the CAN address has to be changed manually. Principally every available CAN address can be used, but the preferred CAN address is 30.
Description Stop the vacuum pumps and switch off the power during the connecting process. On the ES 6v, digital input and 1 relay outputs are provided for each connection channel. Required inputs: Vacuum pump tripped or not tripped (e.g. motor overload relay or local emergency stop button) Provided outputs: Contact to control the start/stop condition through the ES 6v.
