4.1 Connection requirements
Danger! Electric voltage!
‣ The entire connection of the device must take place while the device is de-energized.
Incorrect power supply can cause malfunctions
‣ Before commissioning the device, make sure that the supply voltage matches the voltage
specifications on the nameplate.
‣ Provide a suitable switch or power-circuit breaker in the building installation. This switch
must be installed close to the device (so that it is easily accessible) and marked as a circuit
breaker.
‣ An overload protection unit (rated current = 10 A) is required for the power cable.

Parallel operation of multiple optional interfaces, e.g. fieldbus and Ethernet, is not
possible.
4.5.1 Ethernet TCP/IP (optional)
The Ethernet interface is galvanically isolated (testing voltage: 500 V). A standard patch
cable (e.g. CAT5E) can be used to connect the Ethernet interface. A special cable gland is
available for this purpose which allows users to guide pre-terminated cables through the
housing. Via the Ethernet interface, the device can be connected using a hub or a switch or
directly to office equipment.
• Standard: 10/100 Base-T/TX (IEEE 802.3)
• Socket: RJ-45
• Max. line length: 100 m

all measured values and process values. The Modbus TCP interface is physically identical to
the Ethernet interface ( ä 20). Connection å 19, ä 20.
4.5.3 Modbus RTU (optional)
The Modbus RTU (RS-485) interface is galvanically isolated (testing voltage: 500 V) and

5.1 General notes for operation
The batch controller can be configured using keys or using the "FieldCare" operating
software.
The operating software, including the interface cable, is available as an order option, i.e. it is
not part of the basic scope of delivery.
The configuration is locked if the device is locked by the locking switch ( ä 23) or the user
code.

5.2.2 Function for entering a value for the preset counter
A value for the preset counter can be entered any time. This value can either be entered in
the Display menu, or by pressing one of the keys 0-9 or period. It does not matter whether a
batching process is currently active when you enter the value. The new preset counter value
is used when the next batching process is started.
If the preset counter is part of a display group, the preset counter value which is valid
for the current batch is always displayed. If the value is changed when the batching
process is stopped, the new value appears immediately on the display. However, if
the value is changed during an active batching operation, the old value of the preset
counter, which still applies for the current batch run, is displayed until this batching
operation is finished. The new value, which is valid for the next batching operation,
is displayed directly afterwards.

Operating Instructions, is also included in the FieldCare Device Setup.
During configuration with FieldCare, the device can enter undefined states! This can
result in undefined switching of outputs and relays.

Commissioning Batch Controller RA33
6 Commissioning
Make sure that all post-connection checks have been carried out before you commission
your device:
• See 'post-installation check', ä 14
• Checklist for 'post-connection check’, ä 21
After the operating voltage is applied, the display and the green LED are illuminated. The
device is now ready to operate and can be configured via the keys or the "FieldCare Device
Setup" parameter configuration software ( ä 24).
Remove the protective foil from the display, as otherwise legibility is impaired.
6.1 Quick commissioning/make it run
For quick commissioning of the "standard" batch controller application, you only have to
enter a few operating parameters in the menu Setup.
Prerequisites for quick commissioning:
• RTD temperature sensor, 4-wire direct connection
Menu/setup
→ Units: Select unit type (SI/US)
→ Signal type: Select the signal type for flow (pulse or current)
→ Unit: Select the flow unit
3
→ Counter unit: Specify the unit for the flow counter, e.g. m
→ Pulse value, value: Enter the unit and value for the pulse value of the flow transmitter
(for "pulse" signal type)
→ Meas. range start and Meas. range end (for "current" signal type)
→ Date/time: Set the date and time
The device is now operational and ready to control batching.
You can configure device functions, such as data logging, tariff function, bus connection and
the scaling of current inputs for flow or temperature, in the "Advanced setup" menu.
