3.1Start-up
The TURBO.DRIVE 400 offers the possibility of gently running in pumps which were not operated for a period between 6 and 12 months.
For this set the parameter P119 “Bearing run-in function” to
1; thereafter start this function through the start command.
All three LEDs will flash rapidly, during acceleration the
green LED flash more slowly.
The run can be cancelled by revoking the start command.
Pausing is not possible.
After a completed run-in the pump stops. The LEDs continue to flash.
Parameter 119 remains set after the run and needs to be
set manually to 0.
In all, the entire bearing run-in process may take up to 4
hours.
Turbomolecular pumps which were not operated for a period of over 12 months should be returned to us. For more
information on this please contact your local sales partner.
The frequency converter has a RS 232 interface as standard (SERVICE X5) and is optionally equipped with serial

The turbomolecular pump accelerates. The green LED

■for the power supply units offered or recommended by
Oerlikon Leybold Vacuum switch off the DC voltage.
After switching off, the green status LED will flash until the
rotor of the turbomolecular pump is at standstill. This may
take several minutes. With the DC power supply off, the
turbomolecular pump will act as a generator supplying the
frequency converter with energy as indicated by the yellow
power LED.
Operation
If a failure occurs the turbomolecular pump will be shut
down automatically. The red LED at the frequency converter lights up.
To shut down the frequency converter, switch the pump off
and wait until the rotor of the turbomolecular pump has
arrived at standstill (green status LED off).
Then switch the mains power off and wait until the yellow
power LED is off. Then only disconnect any cable connections.
3.5Emergency shut down
The emergency shutdown facility of a system controller
must be capable of shutting the pump down as detailed in
Chapter 3.3. The rotor of the turbomolecular pump may be
stopped faster by venting the pump; for this refer to the
Operating Instructions for the pump.
For the purpose of reducing the pumping speed of the
pump because of application requirements or for other reasons it can make sense to reduce the rotational speed.
In order to permanently reduce the speed we recommend
the following procedure:
With the aid of a Windows PC and the PC software
“TURBO. DRIVE Server” change the setting for the parameter 24 “Setpoint frequency”. The possible values for parameter 24 will depend on the type of pump connected.
Parameter 18 “Nominal pump frequency“ defines the maximum value and parameter 19 “Minimum setpoint frequency
for the pump” defines the minimum value.
So as to retain the value saved for parameter 24 when
switching the pump off, the parameter value needs to be
saved permanently. For this enter any value (for example 1)
for parameter 8. Thereafter changed parameters will be
saved permanently.
Parameters which are typical for the specific type of pump
(see Chapter 3.2.5) are reset to the factory defaults after
having changed the type of pump and when switching on
the power supply voltage again.
The rotational speed of the pump may be changed during
operation also with the aid of a Windows PC and the PC
software “TURBO.DRIVE Server”.
However, we here recommend a PLC compliant solution
with the aid of the Profibus. The speed can be set over the
Profibus in two ways:
■by changing parameter 24 within the limits defined by
parameters 19 and 18 or
■by transfer as the main setpoint (for this also refer to
VDI/VDE 3689).
Not all applications require that the TURBO.DRIVE 400 be
operated at its maximum current. Operation at reduced
current will allow operation off a smaller power supply unit
or to operate two or more turbomolecular pumps off a
power supply unit which in practice is just not strong
enough to supply the maximum current for several connected pumps. However, this will increase the run up time, and
the maximum gas throughput and backing pressure specifications are reduced.
For this proceed as follows:
With the aid of a Windows PC and the PC software
“TURBO. DRIVE Server” change the setting for the parameter 139 “Current reduction factor”. The possible values for
parameter 139 can be varied within the limits of 30 to 100
% of parameter 17 (current dependents on the type of
connected pump. The newly entered current reduction factor will only be active after switching off and on again.
Operation
So as to retain the value saved for parameter 139 when
switching the pump off, the parameter value needs to be
saved permanently. For this enter any value (for example 1)
for parameter 8. Thereafter changed parameters will be
saved permanently.
Depending on the quality of the vacuum which needs to be
provided by the turbomolecular pump it may make sense
to reduce the frequency dependent normal operation threshold, so that the ready status can be attained faster by the
vacuum system. The factory default of 90 % represents a
good compromise so that a change will hardly ever be
required.
For this proceed as follows:
With the aid of a Windows PC and the PC software
“TURBO. DRIVE Server” change the setting for the parameter 25 “Frequency dependent normal operation level”. The
possible values for parameter 25 can be varied within the
limits of 35 to 99 % of parameter 24 (nominal speed
depends on the type of connected pump).
So as to retain the value saved for parameter 25 when
switching the pump off, the parameter value needs to be
saved permanently. For this enter any value (for example 1)
for parameter 8. Thereafter changed parameters will be
saved permanently.
In vacuum systems at a high backing pressure or with
increased quantities of gas during the run up phase, the
run up time for the turbomolecular pump may be longer.
This will then cause the frequency converter to output an
error message,
The maximum permissible run up time is changed as
follows:
With the aid of a Windows PC and the PC software
“TURBO. DRIVE Server” change the setting for the parameter 32 “Maximum run up time”. The possible values for
parameter 32 can be varied within the limits of P183 to
2000 seconds. The default setting is 720 seconds. As a
rule, no value below 720 seconds should be entered as this
would give rise to unnecessary error messages. If a significantly higher value than 720 seconds is required, this may
indicate that the turbomolecular pump is being overloaded.
For this reason in such a case the temperature data from
the frequency converter and the turbomolecular pump
(parameter 7 = motor temperature, 11 = frequency converter temperature, 125/127 bearing temperature) should be
specially monitored during application trials.
Operation
So as to retain the value saved for parameter 32 when
switching the pump off, the parameter value needs to be
saved permanently. For this enter any value (for example 1)
for parameter 8. Thereafter changed parameters will be
saved permanently.
Generally it will make sense to let the turbomolecular pump
run up immediately after applying the start command.
However when operating two or more turbomolecular
pumps off a single power supply unit, it may make sense to
start the pumps one after the other. One way of achieving
this is to enter a start delay time differing from 0.
To set up the start delay time proceed as follows:
With the aid of a Windows PC and the PC software
“TURBO. DRIVE Server” change the setting for the parameter 36 “Start delay time”. The possible values for parameter
36 can be varied within the limits of 0 to 25.5 minutes (0 to
255).
So as to retain the value saved for parameter 36 when
switching the pump off, the parameter value needs to be
saved permanently. For this enter any value (for example 1)
for parameter 8. Thereafter changed parameters will be
saved permanently.
The TURBO.DRIVE 400 is capable of permanently saving
up to 40 error events. The error codes are saved under
parameter number 171. In addition to each error code the
following is also saved:
■Rotor frequency at the point of time when the error
event in parameter 174 occurred.
■The corresponding number of operating hours in parameter 176.
Operation
Access to each of the 40 groups of values is accomplished
with the aid of an index value which needs to be stated
besides the parameter number when accessing via the protocol in accordance with VDI / VDE 3689. The range of
index numbers ranges from 0 to 39.
The frequency converter is maintenance free. Repairs must
only be done by Oerlikon Leybold Vacuum.
If required clean the frequency converter of dust with a dry
cloth.
When removing a defective frequency converter from an
installation, please note the information given in Chapter
3.4.
During all work on the pump which is being driven by the
frequency converter, the system must be protected against
being switched on. For this disconnect the DC power
supply.
