1.6EMC-compliant installation
Controllers in the GMM step series fulfil the requirements of EN 61000-6-2 as regards resistance to EMC interference and those of EN 61000-6-3 as regards emissions.
They also comply with standards IEC 61000-4-4/-5/-6/-11 for grid-bound interference. In order to guarantee EM compatibility, the following points must be noted:
All measurement and signalling lines must be connected via shielded cables.
• The shielding of measuring, signal and bus lines must be earthed at one end only.
• Suitable shielding and routing measures must be taken to ensure that mains cables and motor cables do not give rise to any interference in signal and control lines.
If the equipment is installed in a switch cabinet, proper attention must be given to the temperature
inside the cabinet. Güntner switch cabinets are provided with sufficient ventilation.
ADVICE
Operating instructions – Güntner Motor Management GMM step V_3.0
The GMM step must be set up in accordance with the configuration of the heat exchanger and
the fans. This commissioning process determines the performance of the heat exchanger.
The GMM step automatically detects whether commissioning has been carried out when it is
switched on and, if it has, continues with normal operation.
If the GMM step detects that this has not yet been done, it initiates the commissioning procedure. When this procedure has been completed, all the specified parameters are saved.
All values set up by the commissioning can also be viewed and changed individually later on
in the menus.
Page 9 / 107
Operating instructions – Güntner Motor Management GMM step V_3.0
If it is recognized that commissioning has not yet taken place, the following values are interrogated and set up in accordance with the following flow chart.
Page 10 / 107
Operating instructions – Güntner Motor Management GMM step V_3.0
In order to operate the controller it must have a power supply and must be enabled via digital
input DI1. If it is not enabled the process will not be regulated.
The unit has an internal PID controller, whose parameters (amplification factor, integral and
differential time) can be configured either per menu or via an external bus module.
The setpoint can be given via the internal menu, an external analogue value or via an external
bus module.
The current value is determined via a pressure sensor (4-20mA), a temperature sensor (KTY,
GTF210) or a 0-10V signal.
The relay outputs controlling the output stages are switched as appropriate for the setpoint
and the number of steps. A switch-on threshold can be configured for each step.
The integrated function “Fancycling” makes it possible to balance the running times for the individual fans.
The digital inputs are designed as potential-free contacts that must be connected to +24V. As
well as enable (DI1), digital inputs are also used to control external errors (DI2) and the setpoint switchover (DI3).
ADVICE
Please note that connecting the wrong voltage (e.g. 230V) may seriously damage the controller.
The relay outputs are used to control the output stages. Depending on the configuration (the
number of steps and your GMM step basic or GMM step professional configuration) a number
of special functions may also be available. The function assignment is described in the configuration table.
See Configuration table, Page 33
Analogue output AO1 shows the current control value from the controller (0-100%) as a voltage in the range 0-10V. Analogue output AO2 can be used to control an additional subcooler.
The CAN interface of the GRCS.1 is an internal interface for communicating with other Güntner equipment (e.g. the expansion module GIOD.1). The following communications modules are available for external bus connections: for Modbus (GCMM.1, ERP no. 5204182) or
Profibus (GCMP.1, ERP no. 5204543).
Operating instructions – Güntner Motor Management GMM step V_3.0
The GIOD.1 is controlled via CAN by a Güntner controller. The GIOD.1 possesses 16 digital inputs with a rated voltage of 24VDC and 8 relay outputs. The bus address of the GIOD.1 (node
ID) is set up using a rotary encoding switch. The address 0xF may not be used for this.
ADVICE
To operate the GIOD on GMM step professional the rotary switch must always be set to address1.
The GIOD reads this address only when first switched on.
To ensure the bus connection between the controller and one or more other units works correctly, bus termination must be activated at the beginning and end of the bus connection by
setting the units’ DIP switches labelled “Term”. They must be placed in the “ON” position to
activate the termination. Units that are in the middle of the bus and therefore permitted to
transfer the bus signal may not have bus termination activated.
The status of the inputs and outputs is indicated by LEDs on the front of the casing. A lit LED
against the digital inputs signifies that the corresponding input is receiving a “high” signal. A
lit LED against the relay outputs signifies that the closer contact is closed. A power LED signifies that the internal electronic components are receiving power.
There is also a status display for the bus connection that involves two LEDs.
Operating instructions – Güntner Motor Management GMM step V_3.0
The step generator comprises three main components
1. Step generator
The step generator generates a bit pattern for the outputs that are to be switched depending
on the number of steps, their thresholds, their hysteresis and the hold-off time (=default setting).
Page 18 / 107
2. Fancycling
Fancycling ensures even distribution of the running times for the outputs (the fans). To this
end it records and evaluates the running times of all the active outputs.
Active fancycling means,
- when a step is switched on, the output with the least running time is activated.
No change is made to any outputs that were already active.
- when a step is switched off, the output with the highest running time is deactivated.
- when no change is made (the number of outputs does not change for a period of one hour)
no outputs are switched over.
- An even distribution of running times can be achieved only in association with the
installation’s general control behaviour on the basis of higher or lower heat exchanger performance.
ADVICE
When fancycling is deactivated, steps and outputs are correlated 1:1. In other words, step1 switches output1, step2 switches output2, and so on.
When fancycling is active, an active step is assigned to an output depending on its running
time.
The current assignments are shown in the Current values menu.
3. Outputs
The outputs are the physical correlations of steps to outputs.
This depends on the type of GMM step and the number of steps.

This output switches one step to control a fan or fan group. The output is closed when the
threshold for that step is exceeded. Two-way contact x1/x4 on the GRCS is closed while the
output is active. The closer contact x3/x4 on the GIOD is closed while the output is active.
Alarm fault (only GMM step professional):
All messages on the “Alarm fault” output refer to malfunctions resulting in complete failure
and standstill of the heat exchanger.
In an alarm situation, contact 11/12 is closed.
Alarm warning (only GMM step professional):
All messages on the “Alarm warning” output refer to events that do not result in complete failure of the heat exchanger. They warn that operation of the heat exchanger is impaired.
Contact 21/22 is closed when a warning is issued.
Threshold value:
In the Threshold function, exceeding the configured threshold values is signalled at this output.
See Threshold value, Page 51
Thermocontact reset
This output is activated for a period of two seconds when:
Page 35 / 107
a) The thermocontact reset function is activated and a fault is present for one output
See Thermocontact reset, Page 68
b) A remote acknowledgement is made via digital input DI16 on the GIOD
Operating instructions – Güntner Motor Management GMM step V_3.0
The control inputs are designed as a low-voltage connection and are connected via a potential-free contact (relay, contactor contact, switch etc.). The potential-free contact must be
switched between the terminals +24V and the DI1 or DI2 or DI3 control input. The function is
activated when the contact is closed.
4.7.1Enabling of GMM step
Fans are enabled via terminal DI1 (enable). Their speed then depends on the control value. If
enable is not switched, the fans will be disabled (speed = 0).
If they are not to be enabled externally, terminal DI1 must be jumpered.
This enabling jumper is always installed in the factory.
Page 36 / 107
Connection of external enable contact +24V – DI1
ADVICE
Under no circumstances may the controller be disabled by interrupting the supply voltage! Continuously switching the supply voltage can damage the controller and such damage is not covered by
the warranty!
Enable is not required in "Manual" mode.
See Manual mode, Page 56
Operating instructions – Güntner Motor Management GMM step V_3.0
An external fault report can be connected via terminal DI2 . This function first has to be enabled in the IO menu.
The default is for it to be disabled.
Connection to +24V (high) signifies that there is currently NO fault pending (see Digital inputs,
Page 82). An open input or one switched to 0V signifies a fault. The source of this report
may be for example the output of an auxiliary contact on a circuit breaker.
Each fault signalled here is recorded in the alarm history. An active fault also generates a priority2 alarm message, which may also be signalled at the fault message output.
Alternatively, this input can be used to activate manual mode (see Digital inputs, Page 82).
Connection to +24V (high) signifies in this case that the manual mode control value set previously is output.
The input can also be assigned "no function".
4.7.3Switching to 2nd setpoint (or between heating and cooling mode)
Setpoint switchover:
This function enables the switchover between two setpoints, which serve as controlling input
values. The switchover is made by connecting the "DI3" input.
If this terminal is blank, Setpoint 1 is always active. Ex works, this connection is blank (open).
Page 37 / 107
If this function is activated in the Service menu, the control mode can be switched over between heating and cooling. (Cooling and heat pump operation, for example)
The second setpoint and the second setpoint displacement are switched over with the DI3 input.
Operating instructions – Güntner Motor Management GMM step V_3.0
The digital inputs of the GIOD can be used to register fault reports from the fan steps.
Fault reports from the thermocontact evaluation are usually registered here.
The number of fault report inputs must be configured during the commissioning process.
Connecting the input to +24V signifies: fan / fan group OK
An open input or connection to 0V signifies: fan / fan group faulty
Fault reports are assigned to the GIOD inputs DI1 up to at most DI9.
A manual thermocontact reset can be carried out via the GIOD.
While there is an active fault message, a change of level from low to high (0V to +24V) effects a single thermocontact reset.

The various ways of using inputs and how to connect them in each case are described below.
4.8.1Connecting a pressure sensor to AI1/AI2
One or two (two-wire) sensors can be connected:
= Common supply voltage(GSW4003.1: brown(1), GSW4003:brown(1))
+24V
= 4-20mA signal from sensor 1(GSW4003.1: blue(3), GSW4003: green(2))
AI1
Page 39 / 107
= 4-20mA signal from sensor 2(GSW4003.1: blue(3), GSW4003: green(2))
AI2
The connected pressure sensors must be configured in the hardware configuration.
When two sensors are used the larger signal is always processed by the control unit as the
actual value (max. selection)
ADVICE
Three-wire sensors with a 4-20 mA signal output can also be connected, but these then require an
additional chassis potential. You can tap this from the GND terminal.
Important for pressure sensors: Do not install the sensor in the immediate vicinity of the
compressor to protect it from large pressure impacts and vibrations. It should be installed
as close to the condenser inlet as possible.

4.8.3Connecting a passive temperature sensor on AI2
The I/O configuration enables you to switch analogue input AI2 between current input and
passive temperature sensor.

Temperature sensor connection
To test a temperature sensor that may be defective, disconnect it from the controller and measure the impedance of the sensor (with an ohmmeter or multimeter). On the GTF210 , the impedance should be between 1.04 kΩ (-50°C) and 3.27kΩ (+100°C). You can use the table below to check whether the sensor has the correct impedance at a known temperature.

A standard signal (0-10V) is connected on the following terminals
= Earth (negative)
GND
AI4= Signal input 0-10V DC (max. 12V DC).
Make sure the polarity is correct (earth to GND, signal to AI4)!
Page 42 / 107
The 0-10V input is mostly used to operate the controller in SLAVE mode. To do this, this input must be defined as a slave input in the I/O configuration. The 0-10V input signal is scaled
0-100% in a control signal and passed on to the fans.
As an alternative, you can also connect a GHP manual potentiometer as a remote control. The
connecting terminals on the GHP are labelled with either 1/2/3 or x/-/Y :
+ or 3on +24V
– or 1on GND
Y or 2on AI4
You can then use the speed controller purely as a speed adjuster and specify the fan speed
yourself manually.

The GMM has an alert memory that can accommodate up to 85 incident report, turn-on
and reset times stored consecutively (cyclically). These incident reports consist of the fault
and the time stamp, comprising the date and time when the fault occurred. For a list of error messages and warnings see Error messages and warnings , Page 96.
When the alert memory is selected, the display shows the last fault that occurred.
Use the “down” arrow key to display older faults.

Manual mode is used to start up the heat exchanger fans by hand.
Manual mode does not depend on DI1 enabling.
Manual mode has the highest priority and switches off all other control
types.
The fact that manual mode is active is recorded permanently. In other
words, it will still be active after you have switched the system off and back
on.
Manual mode can also be activated via digital input 2. The digital input has to be configured
accordingly for this purpose in the Service menu (see Digital inputs, Page 82 or External
fault/External manual mode, Page 37).
If the input is configured and connected with +24 Volt, the previously defined manual mode
control value is output.
4.10.8.1Manual mode settings
In order to set manual mode you first need to select the desired type of manual operation
from the “Mode” menu.

Operating instructions – Güntner Motor Management GMM step V_3.0
The settings for manual mode are fail-safe. After switching the GMM step off and back on, the most
recently specified manual mode is reactivated and again has higher priority than all other control
types.
Operating instructions – Güntner Motor Management GMM step V_3.0
In this menu you configure the control parameters of the digital PID controller (proportional, integral, derivative controller).
4.11.1.1Control parameters Kp, Ti and Td
Page 59 / 107
The Kp factor can be entered in a range from 0.1 to 100.0 to one decimal place. The Kp factor specifies the control amplification. It is the proportion of the control path following the input signal.
The Ti reset time changes the control value in the set time by the value specified by the proportional factor.
Example: With an unchanged control deviation (Xs) of 1K and Xp = 10 the control signal in Ti
= 25s is increased by 10%.
The delay time Td can be set in a range from 0 to 1000 seconds. The D part of the controller
does not react to the deviation but to the speed of change.
Operating instructions – Güntner Motor Management GMM step V_3.0
Normally the GMM is used to cool liquids and refrigerants. With some applications a reversal of the function is required, i.e. liquids are warmed (e.g. with heat pumps). With the “Mode”
control parameter setting the control characteristics can be set to heating.
It is possible to change the mode (heating ext) via the DI3 input.
4.11.1.3Base control value and Start control value control parameters

In this mode, control is automatic on the basis of the setpoint defined internally. This setpoint
is entered in the Setpoints menu option.
Page 63 / 107
4.11.4.2Auto external
In this mode, control is automatic on the basis of the setpoint defined externally by the analogue input. Which input delivers the setpoint and which the actual value is defined in the IO
configuration.
Operating instructions – Güntner Motor Management GMM step V_3.0
In this mode the setpoint is specified via BUS.
A Güntner Communication Module (GCM module) is required for this operating mode.
4.11.4.4Slave external
In this mode, there is no internal control. Instead the control value on the slave input is scaled
and forwarded directly to the fans. Which input is to be used as the slave input is defined in
the I/O configuration.
Page 64 / 107
4.11.4.5Slave external BUS
Operating instructions – Güntner Motor Management GMM step V_3.0
In this mode the control value is specified via BUS.
A Güntner Communication Module (GCM module) is required for this operating mode.
The bypass function can be activated or deactivated in this service option. If
the function has been activated, the control value for bypass mode can be
set.
This function is used to maintain operation in the event of a fault in a GMM
component.
4.11.5.1Software bypass (SW bypass)
In the event of a sensor failure, this configured control value will be output.
Default = 100%

Operating instructions – Güntner Motor Management GMM step V_3.0
Here you can modify the parameters of the step generator.
4.11.6.1Fancycling
When fancycling is active, the running times of all the fans will be balanced.
This ensures that, on average, all the fans are subjected to the same load.
Page 67 / 107
With active fancycling there is NO 1:1 correlation between active steps and outputs.
4.11.6.2Threshold value
Here you can specify a threshold value for each step.
The step will then be switched active when the control value of the internal PID controller
reaches this threshold.
4.11.6.3Off hysteresis
A hysteresis is defined to prevent a given step from being switched on and off too frequently.
This means that each stage switches off only when it reaches the corresponding threshold value minus the hysteresis.
ADVICE
Operating instructions – Güntner Motor Management GMM step V_3.0
This is the time until the next higher step is switched in.
This prevents a number of steps from being switched in simultaneously.
Switching the steps back down is carried out with no hold-off time.
4.11.6.5Thermocontact reset
The thermocontacts of the fans are used to interrupt a self-maintaining actuation of the contactor.
An overheated fan is thus switched off. The thermocontact reset circuit can also be used to reactivate the self-maintaining function.
The thermocontact reset is a pulse of about two second duration and is output on digital output DO3 on the GRCS.
Page 68 / 107
ADVICE
The function can be set up in this menu.
A thermocontact reset pulse is emitted by default when the controller is first switched on and
one minute after any fault message.
Operating instructions – Güntner Motor Management GMM step V_3.0
The active running times for each fan or fan group are established and can be displayed here.
These times are cumulated from the initial commissioning. Each active second for a fan or fan
group is recorded.
Among other things, the recorded running times of fans are used for the fancycling function,
to enable fan operation to be balanced.
You can clear the running times for individual fans or fan groups. This will be appropriate e.g.
when a fan has been replaced.
Resetting the controller to its factory or delivery settings does not clear the running times of

A maximum of 65535 hours running can be recorded for each fan or fan group. This is relatively unrealistic,
but if this value is ever reached, the running times of all the fans and fan groups will be zeroed.
An entry will also be made in the alarm history.

The special functions, such as number of setpoints, the night limiter or setpoint displacement, or the subcooler function, can be selected in this service menu option.
4.11.7.1Number of setpoints
Page 70 / 107
The number of setpoints is set here. The minimum number is 1 setpoint on which control is
performed. If 2 setpoints are selected, switchover is via digital input DI3. If the input is open,
setpoint 1 is used for control.
If the DI3 input is connected with +24V, setpoint 2 is used for control.
Two different setpoints can consequently be determined for summer and winter operation, for
example.
Operating instructions – Güntner Motor Management GMM step V_3.0
It is beneficial in order to ensure the optimum energy operation to displace
the setpoint under certain circumstances, depending on the external temperature.
Setting the min. condensation temperature can cause rising external temperatures, so that the external temperature is above the setpoint. If the system is now only to be operated at partial load, raising the setpoint can save
energy on the fans. Without a displacement these fans would always be controlled with 100%, as the high external temperature (above the setpoint)
means this setpoint cannot be reached.
The temperatures Tmin external and Tmax external can be set in the menu. The range between Tmin external and Tmax external marks the range to be displaced into. The ∆T, which
defines the offset between the setpoint and the external temperature, must also be defined.
Example:Setpoint
In this example the setpoint must always be 5 K above the external temperature. The displacement therefore begins at 20.1°C external temperature. At this point the setpoint is displaced to 25.1°C. Tmin external and Tmax external limits mark the range in which the displacement works. In this example the setpoint is displaced at 20°C at the earliest, provided
the setpoint is low enough. The max. value where the setpoint can be displaced to is at 45°C
in this example.

This function allows a separate EC fan to be operated as subcooler. The control value for the
subcooler fan (0..10V = 0..100%) is given via the "AO2" output to the fan.
This subcooler runs constantly, independent of the regulation of the control unit with the set
speed. It is activated like the regulated fans via the enable.
The subcooler function can be switched on and off in the functions menu.
The fan type used is selected in the selection menu.

Only the fieldbus address can be changed for a Profibus (0….126); the baud rate is set automatically.
Turn off the power to GMM + bus module after every address change. Only then will the new parameters be accepted.
4.11.7.5Threshold value
Using the threshold value function, the threshold value relay (digital output DO4, contact
41/44) can be tripped depending on various parameters.
The function must first be activated and pre-configured in the Service menu for this.
The respective threshold values can then be set in the Setpoints menu.
The function is deactivated by default.

Operating instructions – Güntner Motor Management GMM step V_3.0
When a GMM is coupled with a GHM spray via the CAN bus, this function has to be activated
for the GMM (master).
The GMM is then responsible for the control and monitoring of the GHM.
If the connection fails, an entry is made in the GMM alarm history (and that of the GHM).
If the GHM spray function is activated, this will be displayed in the status menu:
Page 76 / 107
If the function is corrupt (e.g. GHM is off), GHM-NOK will be displayed in the Info menu.
Furthermore, a priority 2 incident report is issued and an entry made in the alarm history.
4.11.7.7Maintenance run
A maintenance run is activated in response to the length of time the fans have been stationary. Its purpose is to prevent them from becoming jammed.
Activation of a maintenance run after the configured standstill period depends on the following conditions being fulfilled:
a) Manual operation is deactivated
b) Control value of the PID controller = 0, i.e. no speed request
c) No fault pending
The controller does not need to be enabled, because the speed control is often enabled only
when cooling has been requested. Otherwise the maintenance cycle would effectively be disabled and a maintenance run would never happen.
Operating instructions – Güntner Motor Management GMM step V_3.0
If a speed request is made during a maintenance run , the maintenance process will be aborted and the controller will return to normal operation. In such cases, maintenance is considered to have been performed, because the fans have been in operation.
A maintenance run is carried out at full speed, but this will be reduced by an active night limit.
The following parameters can be set up:
“Maintenance run On/Off”:
Default = On
This is used to turn the function on or off.
“Maintenance run after standstill”:
Default: 24 hrs, min=1, max = 1000 hrs
If the fans have not been in operation at all during this configured period then a maintenance
run will be started.
“Duration of maintenance run ”:
Default =1 min, min = 1 min, max = 10 min
This is used to specify the duration of a maintenance run.
The Info menu display “Maintenance run” flashes while a maintenance cycle is in operation.
Status menu display: “Maintenance run in: nnn h”
This shows the remaining required stationary period before the next
maintenance cycle.

Actual value means that the current measurement is signalled on this input. With pressuresensor GSW4003 this is the current corresponding to the pressure. Make sure that "Auto Int"
mode has been selected in the Operating mode menu. There is a special situation if both cur-
rent inputs are configured as the actual value. The current input delivering the greatest measurement signal is then selected (MAX selection). A Actual value of 0-25 bar or 0-40 bar can be
selected with the current input
Slave control value means that the control signal for the fans follows this input. With current
input this means that 4 mA generates a control signal of 0%, and 20mA input current a control signal of 100% on the fans. Make sure that the "Slave ext" mode has been selected in the
Operating mode menu.
Setpoint 1 means that setpoint 1 on which internal control is performed is specified via the
current input. The current input is scaled to the set actual value (see table Error messages
and warnings , Page 96). The origin of the actual value still has to be configured. Make sure
that the "Auto ext" mode has been selected in the Operating mode menu.
Setpoint 2 is offered only if the number of setpoints has been configured as 2 (see Number of
setpoints, Page 70). If setpoint 2 is configured, the same applies as described with Setpoint 1 .
No function is selected if this input is to be inactive.
The same essentially applies to current input 2 as to current input 1, except that there are still
two additional setting options.

The Service menu enables you to adjust the temperature sensors by specifying an offset for the
configured temperature inputs AI2 and AI3.
The following functions exist in addition to the functions offered with input AI1:
act. val. temp.means that a temperature sensor with 4..20mA current output (-30°C to +70°C)
is connected on this current input. Function as described for actual value.
outside temp.means that a temperature sensor with 4..20mA current output (-50°C to +50°C)
is connected on this current input. This input is used exclusively for recording external temperature.
act val. GTF210 means that a GTF210 temperature sensor is connected to this input. Please
note! This function is only available with the corresponding software version.
Operating instructions – Güntner Motor Management GMM step V_3.0
The Service menu enables you to adjust the temperature sensors by specifying an offset for the
configured temperature inputs AI2 and AI3.
act val GTF210 means that a GTF210 temperature sensor is connected to this input.
outside temp. means that a GTF210 temperature sensor is connected to this input to record
the external temperature. The measurement range is -30°C to +70°C. It is ensured that only 1
external temperature can be selected.
Page 81 / 107
ADVICE
No function is selected if this input is to be inactive.
4.11.8.1.4 0..10V AI4 input
act. val 0.10V means that the current value (0-10V) for the controller should be connected to
this input. Make sure that the mode “Auto Int” has been selected from the Operating mode
menu.
ctrl. val slavesignifies that the fans are addressed in response to the input signal (0-10V). The
characteristic curve is linear from 0-100%. A 10V signal corresponds to a control value of
100% for the fans. Make sure that the mode “Slave Ext” has been selected from the Operating
mode menu.
setpoint 2 is offered only if the number of setpoints has been configured as 2 (see Number of
setpoints, Page 70). If setpoint 2 is configured, the same applies as described for Setpoint 1 .

The digital inputs on terminals DI1, DI2 and DI3 are control inputs.
The inputs are active when they are connected to +24V . They can only be switched with potential-free contacts (e.g. relay contact).
Page 82 / 107
4.11.8.3Analogue outputs
The analogue outputs can output a voltage of 0-10 V DC. Fixed functions are assigned to analogue outputs 1 and 2. Output 1 issues the control signal from 0-100% scaled as a 0-10V signal.
Output 2 issues the control signal for the subcooler, when the function is selected.
Operating instructions – Güntner Motor Management GMM step V_3.0
The digital outputs are relay contacts. Each output has a 250V/1A two-way contact. The alarm
outputs Prio 1 and Prio 2 are connected as failsafe contacts, i.e. the contact is closed when
there is no current.
Fixed functions are assigned to the digital outputs.

ADVICE
Any changes made locally and the commissioning values will be cleared. Once this function has
been completed, a completely new factory commissioning must be carried out.
Operating instructions – Güntner Motor Management GMM step V_3.0
Most faults that occur during commissioning are due to wiring faults or defective sensors. It
is only in the rarest of cases that the speed controller itself is defective. Check the following
points before ordering a replacement:
Status info menu:
• Is a fault displayed in the info menu? (You can always return to the Info menu by pressing X).
• If NO, then go to Test point 2.
• If the message “Equipment failure” is displayed, there is a fault pending at all outputs.
• For other error messages see Table Error messages and warnings , Page 96
TEST POINT 2:
Mains connection:
• Are all phases present?
Page 87 / 107
Sensor connection:
• Is the sensor connected correctly? Cf "Sensor connection" section
The dependencies of the external control value specs for the actual value regulations are explained in this table. A 0 ..10V external voltage can, for example, specify a temperature control
value. 0V is then equal to a temperature of 0°C and a voltage of 10V is equal to a control value
temperature of 100°C.
