Description

The FP160 series temperature controllers offer compact control systems for 4 to 16 control loops. The systems are always designed for heating and cooling, i.e. twice the number of outputs are always available in addition to the corresponding sensor inputs. The control systems are equipped with interfaces for communication with higher-level systems. In the basic version, the FP160 offers an RS485 interface, which can also be used to network several control systems into a complete system. The controllers can be connected to higher-level systems via an optional ProfiNet / Sercos interface. wpml_nbsp >The following variants are available:4 control loopsDie Temperaturregler der Serie FP160 bieten kompakte Regelsysteme für 4 bis 16 Regelkreise. Die Systeme sind immer für Heizen und Kühlen ausgelegt, das heißt es stehen neben den entsprechenden Fühlereingängen immer die doppelte Anzahl an Ausgängen zur Verfügung. Zur Kommunikation mit übergeordneten Systemen sind die Regelsysteme mit Schnittstellen ausgestattet. In der Grundausstattung bieten die FP160 eine RS485 Schnittstelle, über die auch eine Vernetzung mehrere Regelsysteme zu einem Gesamtsystem möglich ist. Über eine optionale ProfiNet / Sercos-Schnittstelle lassen sich die Regler mit übergeordneten Systemen verbinden.  Folgende Varianten stehen zur Verfügung:4 Regelkreise

  • 4 x PT100-3/4L inputs
  • 8 x digital outputs heating / cooling

8 Control loops

  • 8 x PT100 or thermocouple inputs
  • 16 x digital outputs heating / cooling

16 control loops

  • 16 x inputs PT100-2L or thermocouples

FAQ's

The following chapter lists faults and their possible causes.
These instructions are intended to enable faults to be isolated as quickly as possible, particularly when commissioning the controller for the first time. The manual is essential for troubleshooting!

The controller does not heat!

Possible causes:

  • Is the global release of the outputs set to “1” via parameter “ENA”? see chapter 3.1.2: Enabling all control outputs see chapter 5.9 Group 0, identifier 2, data word 1: Control outputs
  • Are status bits 5 and/or 6 set? See chapter 5.8 and 4.3.5: If both bits are “0”, the operating mode = OFF and the controller will not heat the zone.
  • Is the operating mode of the zone set to “Control” (parameter value = 2)? see chapter 3.2.10: Zone operating mode If the value is set to 0 (=OFF), the zone is switched off and does not heat.
  • Is the actual value read out higher than the setpoint? If the actual value is significantly higher than the set target value, the heating is switched off by the controller. The output level is then 0%, which is normal in this case.
  • Is the FP160 parameterized as a limiter? If the HI alarm is set to 0, the controller switches the output off permanently when the setpoint is exceeded. see chapter 3.2.2
  • If the output level read for the zone >0% If the output level is read out at> 0% and the controller still does not heat, this could have various causes. see chapter 5.7.1
  • – Has the 24V auxiliary voltage been connected to the bottom of the device (X8)? The 24V for the outputs must be supplied separately again, independently of the controller supply. see chapter 2.8.5
  • – Does the controller provide 24V at the output for controlling the heating? To do this, disconnect the connected solid state relay and measure with a voltage tester. In very rare and isolated cases, certain solid state types can overload the output integrated in the controller due to pulse currents. SSRs from Siemens from the “Sirius” series are particularly well known for this. In the event of an overload, the driver switches off permanently until the controller is switched off. A series resistor of approx. 100 Ohm in the control of the SSR eliminates this effect.
  • Have programming errors occurred in the past? If errors were made when the customer programmed the interface (e.g. by swapping the LO/HI bytes), the FP160 may still be set incorrectly in unexpected places. In this case, it may be helpful to load the factory settings after correcting the program error. see chapter 5.9: Group 0, identifier 4, write data word 1 to “1”
