1.6 EMC-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.

2 Commissioning GMM step

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 15 / 107
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).

Page 16 / 107
Functional description of GIOD.1
The GIOD.1 is controlled via CAN by a Güntner controller. The GIOD.1 possesses 16 digital in­puts with a rated voltage of 24VDC 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 address1.
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.

3.1.1.1 Configurable step generator 
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, step1 switch­es output1, step2 switches output2, 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. See also Configuration table, Page 33

4.6.2 Command outputs

Fan / fan group:
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

4.7 Control inputs

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.

4.7.1 Enabling 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
© Güntner GmbH & Co. KG

4.7.2 External fault/External manual mode

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 0V 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 pri­ority2 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".

4.7.3 Switching 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.

4.7.4 Control inputs on the GIOD

4.7.4.1 Fault report inputs 
4.7.4.2 Remote acknowledgement 
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 0V 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 (0V to +24V) ef­fects a single thermocontact reset.

4.8 Analogue inputs

The GMM has four sensor inputs:
Input AI1 Current input 4-20mA
Input AI2 switchable 4-20mA or impedance sensor GTF210
Input AI3 Impedance sensor GTF210
Input AI4 Voltage source 0-10V DC
The various ways of using inputs and how to connect them in each case are described below.

4.8.1 Connecting 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.
Pressure transmitter connection

© Güntner GmbH & Co. KG

4.8.2 External power signal connection to AI1/AI2

The AI1 or AI2 inputs can also be used to control the controller in SLAVE operation.
To do this, this input must be defined as a control value slave in the I/O configuration.
The 4..20mA input signal is scaled 0-100% to a control signal and passed on to the fans.
A setpoint can also, for example, be specified externally via the AI1 or AI2 inputs.
Up to two power signals (4-20mA) can be connected to the AI1 and AI2 analogue inputs.
GND = Reference point (–).
AI1 = Current input (+) 4..20mA
AI2 = Current input (+) 4..20mA
ADVICE
Make sure the current source polarity is correct!
Page 40 / 107
Power source connection
For current inputs, note that currents of less than 2.4mA or greater than 22mA will provoke a sensor fault display and corresponding message.
Operating instructions – Güntner Motor Management GMM step V_3.0
© Güntner GmbH & Co. KG

4.8.3 Connecting a passive temperature sensor on AI2

The I/O configuration enables you to switch analogue input AI2 between current input and passive temperature sensor. See Switchover input AI2, Page 80
In this case it is switched in the same way as input AI3

4.8.4 Connecting a temperature sensor on AI3

A temperature sensor is connected on the terminals
GND
AI3
There is no particular sequence for the cores.
The Güntner GTF210 temperature sensor is used in the range -30°C to +70°C. Please con­tact us for other temperature ranges.
= Earth
= Signal input
Page 41 / 107
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 k (-50°C) and 3.27k (+100°C). You can use the table be­low to check whether the sensor has the correct impedance at a known temperature.
Impedance Temperature Impedance Temperature

2000 25°C 3370 105°C
Table: Temperature / Impedance

4.8.5 0-10V voltage signal connection to AI4

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 3 on +24V
or 1 on GND
Y or 2 on AI4
You can then use the speed controller purely as a speed adjuster and specify the fan speed yourself manually.

4.9 Analogue outputs

The control unit has 2 analogue outputs with 0..10V output voltage.
Analogue outputs
The AO1 output issues the control signal (0..100%) scaled to 0..10V .
Output AO2 issues the control signal for a subcooler, if this function is activated. 0..10V corre­sponds here with a control value of 0..100%.

4.10.8 Manual mode

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.
4.10.8.1 Manual mode settings 
In order to set manual mode you first need to select the desired type of manual operation from the “Mode” menu.
Page 56 / 107
Manual mode off:
Manual mode is inactive.
Manual mode control value:
Manual mode has been activated, the control values are prescribed by a parameter.
Manual mode fans:
Manual mode has been activated, each fan or fan group can be specifically switched on or off.
Manual mode settings:
When manual mode is active, this enables you to modify either the manual control value or the state of the relevant output.

4.11.1 Control parameters

In this menu you configure the control parameters of the digital PID con­troller (proportional, integral, derivative controller).
4.11.1.1 Control 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.

4.11.1.2 Cooling/heating control parameter mode 
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.

4.11.4 Operating mode

The operating mode can be set in this mode. The active mode is shown with a *.
4.11.4.1 Auto internal 
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
4.11.4.2 Auto 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

4.11.4.3 Auto external BUS 
In this mode the setpoint is specified via BUS. A Güntner Communication Module (GCM module) is required for this operating mode.
4.11.4.4 Slave 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.

4.11.5 Bypass

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.
4.11.5.1 Software bypass (SW bypass) 
In the event of a sensor failure, this configured control value will be output. Default = 100%

4.11.6 Step parameters

Here you can modify the parameters of the step generator.
4.11.6.1 Fancycling 
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.
4.11.6.2 Threshold 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.
4.11.6.3 Off 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
© Güntner GmbH & Co. KG
4.11.6.4 Dead time 
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.
4.11.6.5 Thermocontact 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
© Güntner GmbH & Co. KG
4.11.6.6 Running times 
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 fans or fan groups.
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.

4.11.7 Features

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.
4.11.7.1 Number 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
© Güntner GmbH & Co. KG
4.11.7.2 Offset setpoint 
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.

4.11.7.3 Subcooler function 
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.

4.11.7.4 External BUS module 
These functions allow you to change the interface parameters of the connected bus module.
The following parameters can be changed for a Modbus RTU module:
Address: 1….247
Baud rate: 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 76800, 115200 Baud
Framing: 8,E,1 (8 Bit, even parity, 1 Stop Bit)
Page 73 / 107
8,N,1 (8 Bit, no parity, 1 Stop Bit) 8,N,2 (8 Bit, no parity, 2 Stop Bit) 8, O,1 (8 Bit, odd parity, 1 Stop Bit)
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.
4.11.7.5 Threshold 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.

4.11.7.6 GHM Controller 
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.
4.11.7.7 Maintenance 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
© Güntner GmbH & Co. KG
Page 77 / 107
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.

4.11.8 I/O configuration

This menu option is used to configure the analogue and digital inputs and outputs. Selected functions can be assigned to the inputs and outputs.
4.11.8.1 Analogue inputs 
The analogue inputs are measurement inputs for recording temperature or pressure values.
These inputs can also be used to prescribe control values (slave mode).
Terminals AI1 and AI2 are two current inputs (4-20mA).
Input AI2 can be switched over to serve as input for a temperature sensor.
Page 78 / 107
Terminal AI3 has an input for the GTF210 temperature sensor. There is an input for 0-10 V DC on terminal AI4 .
Operating instructions – Güntner Motor Management GMM step V_3.0
© Güntner GmbH & Co. KG
4.11.8.1.1 Current inputs AI1 
Page 79 / 107
Actual value means that the current measurement is signalled on this input. With pressure sensor 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.

4.11.8.1.3 AI3 input temperature sensor 
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 .

4.11.8.2 Digital inputs 
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
4.11.8.3 Analogue 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.

5 Faults and troubleshooting

5.1 General notes

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
• Sensor OK? (Measure! Pressure: 4-20mA, Temp.: 1.2-2.7k, default signal: 0-10V)
• Are the sensor cables laid in the immediate vicinity of the mains or motor cable? Consider increasing the distance!
• Are the sensor cables shielded? If not – swap for shielded cables!
• Is the shielding applied unidirectionally on the controller?
Fuses:
• Is the fuse on the controller supply OK?

8 External control value scaling

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.
