Instruction Manual PUC 28
3 Device description
3.1 General functional description The PUC 28 is a microprocessor-controlled process monitoring device designed for use in clean rooms. It has one internal differential pressure sensor and two analogue inputs (0 … 10 V and 0 (4) … 20 mA each) for connecting external sensors. One temperature and one humidity sensor or two additional pressure sensors may be connected to these two ports. The signal of the internal pressure sensor can be provided by way of the OUT output as a current or voltage value (0 … 10 V and 0 (4) … 20 mA). The pressure which has to be measured has to be led to the two pressure input ports at the rear side. The three process values (e.g., pressure, temperature and humidity) are shown on the integrated display. At the same time, the limits, which can be set as parameters, are monitored and an acoustic alarm is triggered if a value moves outside its limits. In addition, two relay contacts (changeover contacts) represent these alarm states (in some variants of the PUC 28 these relay contacts are not present). These contacts may be used, for example, to drive external signal devices (strobe light or horn) or to feed the alarm signal to a central building control system. As an option, confirming the alarm by way of the push of a key can be set as a parameter.
Fig. 1: Block diagram of the PUC 28
The PUC 28 can be supplied with a Profibus DP interface for connection to the central building control system. In this case, the PUC 28 is integrated into the Profibus as a slave. It is possible to read all values of the PUC via the Profibus or to use the PUC as a display and an evaluation device in that the process signals (Pressure/IN 1/IN 2) are not provided by way of the internal pressure sensor or the analogue inputs but rather via the Profibus. The parameters of the PUC 28 are set in a menu-driven manner using the four integrated keys (see section 5 entitled “Setting the parameters”) or using the Profibus.
7

Instruction Manual PUC 28
The PUC 28 has an internal overpressure safeguard that protects the precision pressure measurement capsule from damage.
Optionally a connection of the PUC 28 via a serial RS232C interface is also possible, this allows configuring the PUC 28 (alternatively to the configuration with the help of the integrated keys in the front plate) as well as reading the measured values and triggering certain actions (e.g. zero-point calibration) with the help of a PC. A PC configuration software also addresses these functions, which might serve as a remote station to the PUC 28 with RS232 interface.
3.2 Cyclic zero-point calibration
External influences such as temperature, position or ambient pressure can shift the device’s zero point, i.e., the value displayed when the pressure ports are open. Calibration is the process by which the device automatically registers this shift and figures it into the currently displayed pressure. During this process, “CALIBRATION” appears in the top line of the display. Calibration is always performed after power is applied to the PUC 28. As the PUC 28 must frequently adjust to the ambient temperature after power is applied (e.g., a new installation), calibration is performed every 15 minutes in the following hour. After this, a cyclic calibration is performed every hour. If the PUC 28 is in the parameter mode, calibration is postponed until after the parameters are set.
During the zero-point calibration procedure, the PUC 28 does not react to the press of a key. In this case, please wait a few seconds until the end of the calibration procedure (e.g., confirmation of an alarm).
If the PUC 28 has an RS232 or Profibus DP interface, the cyclic calibration can be replaced by a calibration command as an alternative. This ensures that no measured values are lost during critical process phases because of a calibration procedure.
3.3 Display of measured values
The display is capable of showing three measured values:
1st line – pressure (measured by the internal pressure sensor) 2nd line – value of the signal present at the input IN1
(dependent on the sensor connected: temperature or pressure) 3rd line – value of the signal present at the input IN2
(dependent on the sensor connected: relative humidity or pressure)
If the signal wanders outside the set limits (alarm), the corresponding line alternates between displaying the measured value and a blinking arrow. The arrow pointing upward indicates that the upper limit has been exceeded. An arrow pointing downward indicates that the signal has dropped below the lower limit.
If the inputs IN1 and/or IN2 are not used, the corresponding lines can be blanked on the display (see section 5 entitled “Setting the parameters”). The internally measured pressure can also be blanked. In this case additionally no zero-point calibration takes place.

Instruction Manual PUC 28

3.5 Manual zero-point calibration
Additionally to the cyclic zero-point calibration (see section 3.2 entitled “Cyclic zero-point calibration”) the zero-point calibration can also be initiated at any time manually, as long as the device is in display mode. To start the calibration, press “Enter”. Thereon the question “Calibrate ?” with the selections “No” and “Yes” appears. By default, “No” is selected. Now with the keys “Scroll up” or “Scroll right” change to “Yes” and confirm with “Enter”. Then the zeropoint calibration will be started.

3.6 Re-Calibration
The device variant PUC 28/K has an additional pair of pressure input ports available at the front side, which can be used to re-calibrate the device if required. This function can only be called out of the main menu, therefore it is password protected (see section 5 entitled “Setting the parameters”). The positive range (0…100Pa resp. 0…250Pa) and the negative range (0…-100 Pa resp. 0…-250Pa) might be re-calibrated independently from each other. In case the positive range shall be re-calibrated, a reference pressure of +100Pa resp. +250Pa has to be applied from outside; in case the negative range shall be re- calibrated, a reference pressure of -100Pa resp. -250Pa has to be applied from outside.

9-pole D-SUB-jack (female) (top view from outside):

5-pole M12-jack (female, A-encoded) (top view from outside):

Fig. 4: RS232 interface (9-pole D-SUB-jack, female or 5-pole M12-jack, female)
Terminal assignment: see section 6.3 entitled “Assignment of the RS232 connector”

Terminal assignment of the Profibus DP interface:

For the Profibus DP interface there are two possibilities:

9-pole D-SUB-jack (female) (top view from outside):

5-pole M12-jack (female, B-encoded) (top view from outside):

Fig. 5: Profibus DP interface (9-pole D-SUB-jack, female or 5-pole M12-jack, female)
Terminal assignment: see section 7.5 entitled “Assignment of the Profibus connector”
The PUC 28 variants with 9-pole D-SUB-jack differs to that effect, that the jack is either directly integrated in the housing or that it is located at the end of a flying leads cable which is lead out of the housing between both terminal connectors. PUC 28 variants with M12-jack are only available with flying leads cable.
4 Assembly
The first step is to create a recess in the wall (approx. 116 x 220 mm) at the site of installation using the enclosed hole template and to copy the drilling template. Afterwards all connections to the PUC 28 have to be established, then mount the PUC 28 in the recess of the wall.

5 Setting the parameters

Setting the PUC 28 parameters is menu-driven. The main menu is called using the “Menu” key. This is followed by a request to enter the password. As delivered, the password is set to “0000”. The password may be changed in the menu item “New password”. You may exit the menu at any time using the Menu key. If no key is pressed for about 2 minutes, the PUC 28 automatically returns to the display mode. If you exit the menu and call it again within 2 minutes, the password is not requested again. In the following sections, the individual menu items are explained in detail in the context of the menu tree (also see section 12 entitled “Menu tree”).
The function of the keys changes depending upon the active menu item.

The units of the values shown in the display are adjusted automatically (temperature in °C, humidity in %rH, pressure in Pa). The units of a pressure display can be subsequently changed to hPa or mbar in the following “Display” submenu.

5.2.5 Display [ SETTINGS / DISPLAY ]

In the default setting, the display shows three values:

Pressure Temperature Humidity

There are three submenus for these parameters. The display of each individual value can be blanked in these submenus (blanking of the entire line). This makes sense if no sensor is connected to the corresponding input or the internal pressure sensor is not used. If the value represents a pressure, the units can be selected (Pa, hPa or mbar). The range of values for the corresponding channel depends on the setting in the menu branch “CONF. EXTERN” that was used to specify which sensor is connected to the corresponding input.

5.2.7 Acoustic signalling device [ SETTINGS / SOUND ] The internal acoustic signalling device generates, in the event of alarm, an intermittent signal and a brief signal every time a key press is registered. The alarm signal can be confirmed by pressing any key (even if the parameter “Alarm acknowledgement” in the relay menu is not set). The pulse duration and separation of the intermittent alarm signal are set using the “LENGTH” parameter. The set length also determines the alternating interval between showing the alarm and the measured values on the display (in the case of measured values that have gone outside their limits, see section 3.3 entitled “Display of measured values”). The internal acoustic signalling device can be activated or deactivated.

5.2.9 Delete Re-Calibration [ SETTINGS / UNDO TEACH ] Any re-calibration (positive as well as negative range) carried out after the delivery will be called off (concerns only the variants PUC 28/K). 5.2.10 Reset the device [ SETTINGS / RESET ] The PUC 28 will be resetted completely (this is equvalent switching off and on again the power supply of the device). The Profibus interface (for devices with Profibus DP interface) is also initialized. The menu settings stay unchanged.
Resetting the device might for example be useful if a new address is being set with the help of the both rotary switches. After the reset the new address is active. 5.2.11 Recall the delivery state [ SETTINGS / DELIVERY ST. ] According the acual configured measurement range (±100 Pa or ±250 Pa) all menu settings are reset to the delivery state and being saved. Subsequently the PUC 28 will be resetted completely (this is equvalent switching off and on again the power supply of the device). The Profibus interface (for devices with Profibus DP interface) will also be initialized. 5.3 Scaling and limits [ VALUES ] The PUC 28 is adjusted for the sensors used and the limits set for the alarm signals in the “VALUES” menu.
18

Instruction Manual PUC 28

5.3.1 Scaling [ VALUES / SCALE ] The measurement ranges of the connected sensors are set for the PUC 28 in this menu branch. “VALUE BOT” represents the measured value at 0(4) mA or 0 V. For “VALUE TOP”, the measured value for the analogue signal (20 mA or 10 V) must be entered.
The output signal can be adjusted in the same manner for the pressure measured using the internal sensor.

Please make sure that the VALUE TOP is larger than the VALUE BOT. If both new values are positive, the upper value must be set first. If both new values are negative, the lower value must be set first (always assuming that the old values have been according the delivery state). In case it is tried to enter a value for the upper value which is equal or lower than the actual lower value, the entered value is set to the actual lower value, increased by 0.1 Pa (°C, %rH). In case it is tried to enter a value for the lower value which is equal or higher than the actual upper value, the entered value is set to the actual upper value, decreased by 0.1 Pa (°C, %rH). The calculated value will then be shown in the display for further editing, the value won’t be stored yet.

5.3.2 Limits [ VALUES / WARNING ] The PUC 28 monitors the measured values and can trigger an alarm if the limit is dropped below or exceeded. The upper and lower limits and hysteresis can be set for each measured value in this menu branch. The hysteresis is identical for both limits and ensures that, in the case of measured values fluctuating around the limit, an alarm is not triggered again and again (see Fig. 13).

19

Instruction Manual PUC 28

Fig. 13: Switching points of the relay considering hysteresis

Example: With an upper limit of 100 and a hysteresis of 10, the alarm is triggered at 105 and reset again at 95.
Please make sure that the VALUE TOP is larger than the VALUE BOT. If both new values are positive, the upper value must be set first. If both new values are negative, the lower value must be set first (always assuming that the old values have been according the delivery state). In case it is tried to enter a value for the upper value which is equal or lower than the actual lower value, the entered value is set to the actual lower value, increased by 0.1 Pa (°C, %rH). In case it is tried to enter a value for the lower value which is equal or higher than the actual upper value, the entered value is set to the actual upper value, decreased by 0.1 Pa (°C, %rH). The calculated value will then be shown in the display for further editing, the value won’t be stored yet.

5.4 Filter setting [ FILTER ] In various applications, brief pressure surges or other undesirable short signal fluctuations may occur. For this case, the PUC 28 has a low-pass filter for smoothing the measured values (see Fig. 14). The filter time, which can be set, is dependent on the expected signal fluctuations and the desired degree of smoothing.

The filter has the function of smoothing any fluctuating measured values. For the activation and deactivation delays of the relays, please use the corresponding possible settings (see section 5.5.2 entitled “Relay activation and deactivation delays”).

21

Instruction Manual PUC 28

5.5 Relays [ RELAY ] The PUC 28 has two relays (in some variants of the PUC 28 these relay contacts are not present). Relay 1 is triggered when the upper limits have been exceeded; relay 2 is triggered when values fall below the lower limits. In the quiescent state, contacts 3/4 and 6/7 are closed at the relay connector. If the signal drops below the limit, contacts 5/6 close and if the signal exceeds the limit, contacts 2/3 close.

5.5.1 Switching conditions and relay test [ RELAY / COND. TEST ] In this menu item, you specify which measured values are included in controlling the relays (internal pressure, IN1 and IN2 input signal). This setting always applies to both the upper and the lower limits of the corresponding signal.

5.5.2 Relay activation and deactivation delays [ RELAY / TIME REL. ]

A separate activation delay and deactivation delay can be set for each of the two relays. Please keep in mind that the activation delay of the relay is the same as the deactivation delay.

Parameter Time 1 Time 2

Applies to Relay 1 Relay 2

Range of values 0 … 240 s 0 … 240 s

Default setting 5 s 5 s

Table 18: Activation and deactivation delay parameter description

Example: With an activation and deactivation delay of 5 s, there are three possible alarm sequences shown in the following figure.
1. The duration of the alarm state is shorter than the activation and deactivation delay: The acoustic alarm is triggered immediately once the limit is passed (alarm state). As the response delay is shorter than the duration of when the limit is passed, the corresponding relay does not switch. The acoustic alarm is switched off immediately when the alarm state no longer exists.
2. The duration of the alarm state is longer than the activation and deactivation delay and the alarm is not confirmed: The acoustic alarm is triggered immediately once the limit is passed (alarm state). After the response delay of 5 s, the appropriate relay switches. Once the cause of the alarm is no longer present, the acoustic alarm is switched off immediately. The relay switches off after the deactivation delay of 5 s.
3. The duration of the alarm state is longer than the activation and deactivation delay but the alarm is confirmed: The acoustic alarm is triggered immediately once the limit is passed (alarm state). After the response delay of 5 s, the appropriate relay switches. The acknowledgement deactivates the acoustic alarm and the relay immediately.

23

Instruction Manual PUC 28
For using the functions described above, also keep in mind the switching conditions of the relays and the adjustable alarm confirmation described in this section.

5.5.3 Alarm acknowledgement [ RELAY / ACKNOWLEDGE ]

In the alarm state (exceeding the upper limits or dropping below the lower limits), relay 1 or relay 2 is activated. Under consideration of the activation and deactivation delays, the relays remain energized as long as the alarm state persists. If this behaviour is not desired (e.g., because a loud horn is connected to the relay outputs), the alarm acknowledgement can be activated.

If “Acknowledge” is activated, the alarm is confirmed by pressing one of the four keys. This not only switches off the internally generated acoustic alarm but also deactivates both relays. That means that exactly those limit violations will be acknowledged which are active at the time of the acknowledgement. The alarm (acoustic alarm and relay activation) is triggered again if an additionally limit is violated or an existing limit violation is acknowledged and triggered again.

5.6 Re-Calibration [ TEACH ] The PUC 28/K has the feature to re-calibrate the pressure measurement without the need of removing the device out of its environment. For that purpose, on the front side of the device two pressure input ports are located which are marked with “+” and “-“.
In case after a certain time of operation a re-calibration should be instructed, at first one of the two menu items “TEACH” has to be called, depending if the positive or the negative range should be re-calibrated. In each case the maximum pressure is being calibrated, thus +100Pa resp. +250Pa for the positive range or -100Pa resp. -250Pa for the negative range.
After selecting this menu item by pressing “Enter”, a confirmation message with the selections “no” and “yes” appears. At first, “no” is selected. With the keys “Scroll up” or “Scroll right” select “yes” and confirm with “Enter”.
The pressure measurement now switches to the input at the front side. Now the calibration pressure has to be applied from outside. Keep watch that the applied pressure is not too high (±120Pa for the 100Pa device; ±300Pa for the 250Pa device). Otherwise the device might be damaged.
As soon as the pressure applies stable (no more transient oscillations), again press “Enter” (alternatively the re-calibration might be cancelled by pressing “Menu”). In the upper line of the display now the setting value of the calibration pressure appears, in the middle line the message “meas. active”. At the end of the measurement in the upper line the result of the calibration appears (“done” or “error”). Additionally it is prompted to remove the hoses from the calibration input. The calibration measurement counts valid if the calibration value differs at max. ±30% of the factory calibration (this also applies for repeated calibrations, the factory calibration always stays remanent in the device).
24

Instruction Manual PUC 28 After removing the hoses from the front side, a valid calibration result might be either taken over (press “Enter”) or discarded (press “Menu”). An invalid result is always being discarded. After pressing “Enter” the pressure measurement switches back to the input at the rear side, in the display the menu “values” appears. By pressing “Menu”, the normal display mode is being reached. After taking over the calibration result, the calculation of the pressure value immediately considers the new determined calibration value.

Instruction Manual PUC 28
6 RS232 Interface
This section only applies to devices equipped with RS232 interface. The serial RS232C interface allows configuring the PUC 28 (alternatively to the configuration with the help of the integrated keys in the front plate) as well as reading the measured values and triggering certain actions (e.g. zero-point calibration) with the help of a PC.
The serial interface has the following settings: 9600 Baud 8 data bits 1 stop bit no parity
6.1 List of RS232 commands
For the configuration of the PUC 28 and the reading of measured values the following commands are available:
6.1.1 Commands for Configuration
All parameters can be written and read. For each parameter the command for read and write is the same, only the character “>” is placed before the command to write, while a “?” is placed before the command to read.
Both when writing and reading a parameter, the PUC 28 sends back the same parameter name with the actual value as answer:
Example for writing: >WarnPdown -22.5 WarnPdown -22.5
(The bottom warning value for the internal pressure is being set to -22.5Pa.)
Example for reading: ?WarnPdown WarnPdown -22.5
(The bottom warning value for the internal pressure is actually -22.5Pa.)
For sending parameter values the following rules apply: – The spelling of the parameter names is case-sensitive. – A blank has to be between parameter name and value. – Positive values have to begin directly with a numeral, a “+” is not allowed. – In case of decimal places, these have to follow a point (no comma!). Integers can be without a “.0”, but it can be present optionally. – Pressure values are always being sent in Pa, even if the display in the front plate shows the values in another unit. – Sending a value has to be finished by a (ASCII character no. 13).
Under consideration of the same rules also the PUC 28 sends the answer telegrams.
26

Instruction Manual PUC 28

A value which has been sent is effective immediately, but it is not saved permanently automatically. For this, the command “SaveSet” has to be used.
In case the PUC 28 doesn’t accept the value which has been sent, the answer contains an error code (see section 6.2).

  1. After power-up as well as after a reset the PUC 28 comes up with the message “PUC 28 Vx.x” (or “PUC 28/K Vx.x” for the PUC 28/K), where x.x represents the actual software release. The time until this message appears might be up to 5 sec.

  2. The commands for re-calibration are only available at the device variants “PUC 28/K”.

30

Instruction Manual PUC 28 The re-calibration is being started with the command “TCalibPlus” (in case the positive range shall be re-calibrated) or “TCalibMinus” (in case the negative range shall be recalibrated). When receiving a re-calibration command, first the PUC 28/K switches to the input at the front side and shows the value of the pressure to be calibrated in the display, combined with a request to apply this pressure. In case the positive range shall be re-calibrated (command >TCalibPlus), a reference pressure of +100Pa resp. +250Pa has to be applied from outside; in case the negative range shall be re-calibrated (command >TCalibMinus), a reference pressure of -100Pa resp. -250Pa has to be applied from outside. As soon as the pressure applies stable (no more transient oscillations), the command “>TCalibOK” has to be sent. This actually triggers the pressure measurement. During this time the message “meas. active” appears in the display. The duration of the pressure measurement is about 5 sec. The reference pressure has to be applied stable until the RS232 response is being received, which incorporates the command (TCalibOK) and the new determined calibration value (resp. an error message). Additionally it is prompted to remove the hoses from the calibration input. When the hoses are removed from the calibration input, the command “>TCalibFinished” has to be sent. The PUC 28/K then switches back the pressure measurement to the back side and returns to the display mode. 3) Any re- calibration (positive as well as negative range) carried out after the delivery will be called off (concerns only the variants PUC 28/K).

2

Err_ValRange

The transfered parameter value is outside it’s

valid limits. This might happen also (among

other things), if a top value is smaller or equal

the associated bottom value.

The error will also be generated after a re-

calibration of a PUC 28/K, if the calibration

value differs more than ±30% of the factory

calibration.

3

Err_NotActive

– It was tried to read a measured value of a

channel which is currently switched off.

– It was tried to cancel a re-calibration,

although no re-calibration is running

(concerns only the variants PUC 28/K).

4

Err_Underflow

The measured value is below the bottom

measurement limit.

5

Err_Overflow

The measured value is above the upper

measurement limit.

6

Err_ZPCC_active Currently a re-calibration is not possible

because of a running zero-point calibration.

Possibly suppress any zero-point calibration before re-calibration with the command “>CMD 1” (concerns only the variants PUC 28/K).

Instruction Manual PUC 28 6.4 Interface configuration Under Windows XP set up the serial interface configuration (COM port) as follows. The process is similar for older Windows systems. To find the interface configuration: Go to START SETTINGS CONTROL PANEL. There click on SYSTEM and select the HARDWARE tab. Subsequent click on DEVICE MANAGER, there select PORTS. Now double-click on the COM port which is used, therafter select the PORT SETTINGS tab.
6.5 Configuration software For a comfortable configuration and maintaince/logging of the measured values the PC software “PUC 24 / PUC 28 Start-Up Tool” exists. The software is available for downloading from the Internet site www.halstrup-walcher.de under the path “Downloads / Software”.
34

Instruction Manual PUC 28 When a measurement is currently running, the program presents itself in the following way:
35

Instruction Manual PUC 28
Short description of the program features:
Tab “Scaling Values”: The scaling values for the analogue output of the internal pressure as well as for the both analogue inputs can be configured here.
Tab “Warning Values”: The warning values for the internal pressure as well as for the both analogue inputs can be configured here.
The scaling and warning values of a pressure might be entered in different units (hPa, kPa, mbar, mmH2O, mmHg, Psi, inH2O, inHg). For this purpuse, double-click on the corresponding input field. The following window appears:
In this window enter the desired value in the desired unit and click “Paste”. The value will be internally calculated in Pa and entered as scaling or warning value.
Should the configuration be in Pa, click only one time into the corresp. input field (instead of double-click) and enter directly the value.
Tab “Other settings”: All other settings can be configured here.
Tab “Measuring Values”: Here all measured values are displayed graphically and in a list, besides there’s a possibility to save the values in a CSV- compatible file. Additionally a zero-point calibration, a reset as well as a re-calibration (separately for the positive and the negative measurement range) can be activated directly. (The re-calibration is only available at the device variants “PUC 28/K”.)
Tab “Settings”: The actual configuration parameters can be saved in a file (*.puc) respectively being loaded from there. This is (among other things) helpful for the archival storage of configuration sets as well as for copying a configuration between 2 devices. The “.puc” files use the Windows INI format, therefore the “.puc” files can be easily edited with external programs or with any common text editor.
Menu item “Extras ComPort”: Here the COM port which is used can be set. The other port settings must not be changed (9600 Baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity).
Menu item “Language”: Here the language can be set which is used within the configuration software. This setting is independent of the language which is used inside the PUC 28 itself.
36

Instruction Manual PUC 28
The settings for “ComPort” and “Language” are being saved in the file “PUC ToolConfig.ini” after each change. When starting the software the next time, the settings of this file will be used. Button “Load from PUC 28”: All configuration parameters are being load and the fields in the tabs “Scaling Values”, “Warning Values” and “Other Settings” are being filled. Button “Send to PUC 28”: All configuration parameters of the tabs “Scaling Values”, “Warning Values” and “Other Settings” are being sent to the PUC 28 and there being saved in the EEPROM. Button “Delivery State 100Pa and load”: The measurement range ±100Pa is being set, the PUC 28 configures itself according the delivery state for this measurement range and resets itself. Afterwards these configuration parameters are being load. Button “Delivery State 250Pa and load”: The measurement range ±250Pa is being set, the PUC 28 configures itself according the delivery state for this measurement range and resets itself. Afterwards these configuration parameters are being load. Button “Abort transmission”: A loading or sending activity is being aborted ahead of time. Button “Close”: The program is being closed.

7 Profibus DP interface
This section only applies to devices equipped with Profibus DP interface. For configuring the PUC 28 as a slave in a Profibus system, the GSD files “HaWa09BF.GSD” (for PUC 28 with internal ±100 Pa sensor) and “HaWa0BCD.GSD” (for PUC 28 with internal ±250 Pa sensor) are supplied. As an alternative, the GSD files files are available for downloading from the Internet site www .halstrup-walcher.de under the path “Downloads / Software”.

7.1 Profibus DP address
The slave address is configured using the two rotary “DP ADDRESS” switches on the back of the PUC 28. Each switch has 10 positions. The tens position of the address is set using the left switch, the units position using the right switch. Consequently, addresses between 00 and 99 can be used. After assigning a new address, the supply voltage of the PUC must be briefly interrupted (Reset), or choose “Reset” in the Menu [ SETTINGS ]. The currently valid address can be checked in the menu [ BUS ].

7.2 Terminating resistors

The device has bus terminating resistors that can be connected using the two DIP switches on the back of the PUC 28.

Both switches set to “ON” Both switches set to “OFF”

– resistors connected – resistors disconnected

7.3 Modules

There are nine modules available for configuring the PUC 28 as a Profibus slave (combining the input and output data). Any combination of modules is permitted. The only thing to keep in mind is that module 33 (“command byte”) must be a component of the configuration.

7.4 Setting the parameters of the PUC 28 as a Profibus slave

The following parameters of the PUC 28 Profibus slave are sent automatically to the PUC after the Profibus connection has been established by the master. No menu settings are necessary for this. After the Profibus connection has ended, the device returns automatically to the state of a pure measurement device. However, the Profibus parameters are stored in the device.

7.5 Assignment of the Profibus connector

The assignment of the Profibus DP connection corresponds to the assignment specified by the PNO (Profibus User Organization):

9-pole D-SUB-jack (female) (top view from outside):

5-pole M12-jack (female, B-encoded) (top view from outside):

The Profibus DP interface of the PUC 28 is available in the following variants:

  1. PUC 28 variants with 9-pole D-SUB-jack (female) directly integrated in the housing (only for wall thicknesses up to 5mm):

Pin No. 3 4 5 6 8 Housing

Signal RxD/TxD-P CNTR-P DGND VP RxD/TxD-N Shield

Description Receive/transmit data, positive, B line Repeater control signal (flow control); RTS signal DGND (reference potential to VP) Positive supply voltage (P5V) Receive/transmit data, negative, A line Shield or protective ground

  1. PUC 28 variants with 9-pole D-SUB-jack (female) at a flying leads cable:

Pin No. 3 8 Housing

Signal RxD/TxD-P RxD/TxD-N Shield

Description Receive/transmit data, positive, B line Receive/transmit data, negative, A line Shield or protective ground

  1. PUC 28 variants with 5-pole M12-jack (female, B-encoded) at a flying leads cable:

Pin No. 2 4 Thread

Signal RxD/TxD-N RxD/TxD-P Shield

Description Receive/transmit data, negative, A line Receive/transmit data, positive, B line Shield or protective ground

Table 23: Pin assignment of the Profibus connector

In the PUC 28 variants with a flying leads cable an original Profibus DP cable is used. Therefore it arises that for these variants the connection of an external terminating resistor is NOT possible (that is: for bus termination the internal terminating resistor has to be used).

Instruction Manual PUC 28
8 Adjusting the PUC 28 [ TEACH ] Depending on the conditions for using the PUC 28, it may be necessary to adjust the internal pressure transmitter and the analogue inputs and outputs (IN1, IN2 and OUT-P).
When adjusting the pressure sensor and the inputs and outputs, the characteristic curves are affected and the default settings changed. These functions are to be performed with special care. For this reason, this submenu is secured with an additional code.
8.1 Adjusting the internal pressure transmitter After selecting the “TEACH” submenu, the request to enter the code appears (“CODE TEACH”). Please proceed as follows:
1. Press the “Scroll right” key – an “X” appears 2. Confirm using “Enter” and “Scroll up” until “Internal pressure” is activated 3. Press “Enter” – the target pressure to be applied to the pressure ports of the PUC 28
appears in the display 4. After applying the target value, confirm using Enter – after a few seconds, the next
target value appears 5. Continue to repeat this process until no more target values appear 6. Exit the menu using the “Menu” key and briefly interrupt the voltage (hardware reset) or
choose “Reset” in the Menu [ SETTINGS ] If, during this process, an “X” or a “0” appears, a selection can be made using the “Scroll up” key:
X – continue the process (adjust more values) 0 – end adjustment Confirm your selection using the “Enter” key.

Instruction Manual PUC 28

8.2 Adjusting the analogue inputs and outputs

After selecting the “TEACH” submenu, the request to enter the code appears (“CODE TEACH”). Please proceed as follows:

1. Press the “Scroll right” key – an “X” appears 2. Confirm using “Enter” and “Scroll up” until “SIGNAL” is activated 3. Using the “Scroll right” key, select between the current (“I”) and voltage input (“V”) and
confirm using “Enter” 4. Use “Scroll up” to select the input or output (“OUT-P”, “IN1” or “IN2”) and confirm using
“Enter”

If “IN1” or “IN2” has been selected:

If “OUT-P” has been selected:

5. Apply the target value (current or voltage) shown on the display to the input
6. Confirm using the “Enter” key and continue with 5

5. Using the “Scroll up” and “Scroll right” keys, continue to change the value in the center line until the current or voltage target value specified in the top line appears at the output terminals. The 4-digit value in the center of the display must be selected to be as large as possible while maintaining the target value. That is, it has to be found the highest possible 4-digit value for that the desired current or voltage target value appears at the output terminals (when teaching 0 V and 0 mA, there’s an interval between 0 and a value, from which the output signal begins to rise up).
6. Confirm using the “Enter” key and continue with 5

7. Continue to repeat this process until no more target values appear
8. Exit the menu using the “Menu” key and briefly interrupt the voltage (hardware reset) or choose “Reset” in the Menu [ SETTINGS ]

9 Care instructions for PUC 28
To clean the PUC 28 surface please only use mild dishwashing detergent.
Don’t use any abrasive or acidly detergent, because the surface can be damaged. Don’t use any detergent containing isopropanol, because the Display- Window will be cloudy.

Alarm triggered a threshold has been exceeded set hysteresis is preventing switching
false connections; wrong signal type set; wrong scaling set

programming through RS232 no correct connection not working

device not responding to button presses and display only shows “CALIBRATION” after pressing the Menubutton, only “PASSWORD” is displayed
When calibrating, “ERROR” is displayed

device is performing automatic auto-zero procedure the device’s settings are protected by a password
Incorrect calibration pressure

Table 25: Troubleshooting

Corrective action Check the terminal connections and supply voltage Firmly slide tubing completely onto ports; adjust diameter Firmly seat connector; check terminating resistor Confirm using any key –
set smaller hysteresis; reduce threshold value by half the set hysteresis check [SETTINGS/SIGNAL]; swap cables for temperature and humidity; adjust scaling [VALUES/SCALE] check connection both on PUC24 and PC; check COMport settings on PC wait for process to finish (takes few seconds)
enter correct password value (factory setting is “0000”) and confirm Check polarity (+/-) of pressure connection; Ensure that correct pressure (100 Pa or 250 Pa) is being applied
