Connection "X3"
InputsThe digital inputs at connection "X3" are used to connect various functions of the elec-
tronic drive unit. Functions are assigned to the inputs DI1 - DI2 ex factory. These can be
configured via interface RS-485 and the Pfeiffer Vacuum parameter set.
DI Remote priority / Pin 2
V+ :The connection "X3" has operation priority over all other digital inputs.
open: Remote priority inactive
DI1 (Enable venting) / Pin 3
V+ :Venting is enabled (venting according to venting mode)
open: Venting locked (no venting is performed)
DI2 (Heating) / Pin 4
V+ :Heating on
open: Heating off
DI Pumping station / Pin 5
The turbopump is placed in operation and connected pumping station components (e.g.
backing pump, venting valve, air cooling unit) are triggered. Any ongoing error messages
are reset when their cause has been eliminated.
V+ :Malfunction acknowledgement and pumping station on
open: Pumping station off
DI Standby - Error acknowledgement / Pin 6
In standby mode, the turbopump operates at a specified rotor speed < nominal rotation
speed. Factory setting and recommended operation are 66.7 % of the nominal rotation
speed.
V+ :Standby activated
V+ :Reset ongoing error messages when cause has been eliminated with a pulse of
500 - 2000 ms duration
open: Standby off, operation at nominal rotation speed
OutputsThe digital outputs at the connection "X3" can be loaded with a maximum of 24 V / 50
mA per output. All outputs listed below are configurable by the Pfeiffer Vacuum parameter set via interface RS-485 (description related to factory settings).
DO1 (Rotation speed switchpoint attained) / Pin 8
Active high after the rotation speed switchpoint is attained. Rotation speed switchpoint 1
is factory-set to 80% of the nominal rotation speed. It can, for example, be used for a
"pump operational" message.
DO2 (No errors) / Pin 9
When the supply voltage has been established, digital output DO2 permanently outputs
24 V DC which means "no errors". Active low in case of error (collective error message).
Accessory outputs / Pin 10 and Pin 11
The accessory outputs can be loaded with a maximum of 24 V / 200 mA per output. Additional functions can be assigned to the accessory inputs and outputs via DCU, HPU or
PC. Works settings:
● Accessory output A1: A connected air cooling unit is activated.
● Accessory output B1: A connected venting valve is activated, if venting release is
transmitted via input DI1.

6.4Operation with the Pfeiffer Vacuum parameter set
Factory settingsThe electronic drive unit is pre-programmed in the factory. This guarantees proper, reli-
able turbopump operation without the need for additional configuration.
Checking the adjustments
Gas type dependent
operations
Before operating with parameters, check set values and control commands for their
suitability for the pumping process.
Friction causes the rotor to heat up severely under gas load and high rotation speed. To
avoid overheating, the electronic drive unit has implemented power-rotation speed-characteristics, whereby the pump can be operated at every rotation speed with the maximum allowable gas load without danger of damage. The maximum power consumption
depends on the gas type. Three characteristics are available in order to completely exhaust the pump's capacity for each gas type.
NOTICE
Danger of the pump being destroyed
Pumping of gases with a higher molecular mass in the wrong gas mode can lead to destruction of the pump.
Ensure the gas mode is correctly set.
Contact Pfeiffer Vacuum before using gases with a greater molecular mass (> 80).
● Gas mode "0" for gases with the molecular mass >39, e.g. argon.
● Gas mode "1" for gases with the molecular mass ≤ 39.
● Gas mode "2" for helium.
● Power characteristics according to the technical data of the turbopump.
Check and set-up the gas mode via [P:027].

Set value power consumption
Fig. 6:Principle of power characteristics lines for gas type dependent operations,
The turbopump runs up with maximum power consumption. When the nominal and/or set
rotation speed is reached, the pump automatically switches over to the chosen power
characteristic of the selected gas mode. Increasing gas load is initially compensated by
a rise in power consumption in order to keep the rotation speed constant. Increasing gas
friction, however, causes the turbopump to heat up more severely. When the gastypedependent maximum power is exceeded, the rotation speed of the turbopump is reduced
until an equilibrium between permissible power and gas friction is attained.
To avoid rotation speed fluctuations, Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends setting a some-
Adjust the parameter [P:708] to the desired value in %.
If adjusting the set value power consumption below 100 % the run-up time prolongs. To
avoid error messages, the parameter [P:700] RUTimeSVal should be adjusted accord-
ingly.
e.g. gas mode = 0
what lower frequency in rotation speed setting mode.
Run-up timeThe run-up of the turbopump is time-monitored ex factory. There are various causes of
prolonged run-up times, e.g.:
● Too high gas loads
● Leakage in the system
● The set value run-up time is too low
Adjusting the rotation
speed switchpoint

Eliminate any external and application-related causes.
Adjust the run-up time via parameter [P:700].
The rotation speed switchpoint can be used for the message "Pump operational for the
process". Overrunning or underrunning the active rotation speed switchpoint activates or
deactivates a signal at the pre-configured output on the electronic drive unit and at the
status parameter [P:302].

The Pfeiffer Vacuum parameter set
Rotation speed setting mode
The rotation speed setting mode reduces the rotation speed and hence the throughput
of the turbopump. The pumping speed of the turbopump changes proportional to rotation
speed. Standby mode is ineffective during rotation speed setting mode. The set rotation
speed is adjusted by the set value in rotation speed setting mode [P:707]. The rotation
speed switchpoint varies with the set rotation speed. Underrunning or overrunning the
set value in rotation speed setting mode activates and deactivates the status signal
[P:306] SetSpdAtt respectively.
Adjust the parameter [P:707] to the desired value in %.
Parameter [P:026] = 1
Read the parameters [P:308]/[P:397].
Permissible rotation speed range of the turbopump
Adjustments in the rotation speed setting mode or in the standby mode are subject to
the permissible rotation speed range of the respective turbopump. Underrunning the
minimum permissible value causes the warning message Wrn100. The electronic drive
unit resets the set rotation speed automatically to the next valid value.
Maintain the permissible rotation speed range of the turbopump (please refer to the
technical data in the operating instructions for the respective turbopump).
StandbyPfeiffer Vacuum recommends standby mode for the turbopump during process and pro-
duction stops. When standby mode is active, the electronic drive unit reduces the rotation
speed of the turbopump. Standby mode is ineffective during rotation speed setting mode.
The factory setting for the set value in standby mode is 66.7 % of the nominal rotation
speed. Underrunning or overrunning the set speed in standby mode activates or deacti-
vates the status signal [P:306] SetSpdAtt.

The typical nominal rotation speed of a turbopump is factory-set in the electronic drive
unit. If the electronic drive unit is replaced or a different pump type is used, the reference
set value of the nominal rotation speed must be confirmed. This procedure is part of a
redundant safety system for avoiding excess rotation speeds.
HiPaceNominal rotation speed confirmation [P:777]

3001000 Hz
Adjust the parameter [P:777] according to the pump type.
Once the nominal rotation speed is attained, the pump will run idle unless additional gas
loads are entered. Depending on process or application requirements, the nominal rotation speed can be reduced in rotation speed setting mode or standby mode.
Operation of a connected backing pump via the electronic drive unit depends on the
backing pump type.
Adjust the parameter [P:025] to the desired value.

The Pfeiffer Vacuum parameter set
Continous operation
With "pumping station on", the electronic drive unit sends a signal to the configured accessory connection to switch on the backing pump. This signal can also be used for controlling a fore-vacuum safety valve.
Intermittend operation (diaphragm pumps only)
Intermittend operation can extend the life expectancy of the membrane of a connected
diaphragm pump. Either a diaphragm pump with built-in semiconductor relay or an interconnected relay box with semiconductor relay is required for intermittend operation. The
backing pump is switched on and off in dependence of the turbopump's power consumption. A relation to the supplied fore-vacuum pressure is derived from the power consumption. The switching off and switching on thresholds for the backing pump are adjustable.
Fluctuations in the power consumption of idling turbopumps and type-dependent varying
fore-vacuum pressures of the backing pumps require the switching thresholds to be set
separately for the intermittend mode.
Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends the intermittend mode between 5 and 10 hPa. A pressure
gauge and a dosing valve are required to set the switching thresholds.
Switch on the vacuum system via the function "pumping station" and await the run-up.
Generate a fore-vacuum pressure of 10 hPa by gas inlet via dosing valve.
Read and note the parameter [P:316].
Adjust the switch on threshold backing pump via parameter [P:711] to the determined
drive power for a fore-vacuum pressure of 10 hPa.
Reduce the fore-vacuum pressure to 5 hPa.
Read and note the parameter [P:316].
Adjust the switch off threshold backing pump via parameter [P:710] to the determined
drive power for a fore-vacuum pressure of 5 hPa.
Operation with accessories
Delayed switching on
Switching on the turbopump and the backing pump at the same time can result in unwanted gas flows. Depending on process or application requirements, the backing pump
can be switched on with a delay. The switch-on delay depends on the rotation speed of
the turbopump and is fixed in the electronic drive unit at 6 Hz.
The signal can also be used for switching a fore-vacuum safety valve.
Delayed intermittent operation
Fluctuations during intermittent operation can result in the specified switching thresholds
being exceeded or not reached, and may cause the backing pump to switch when not
required. Depending on the process or application requirements, intermittent operation
can be activated with a delay. The switching delay is dependent on the specified switching thresholds being exceeded or not met on an uninterrupted basis over a period of
time.
● Switch-off threshold, parameter [P:710]
● Switch-on threshold, parameter [P:711]
● Delay 8 s.
The signal can also be used for switching a fore-vacuum safety valve.
Depending on the configuration, various accessories can be connected to the turbopump
and controlled via parameter of the electronic drive unit.
Heating
Switch on or off the heating via parameter [P:001].
The activation of a connected casing heating depends on rotation speed switchpoint 1
(factory setting: 80 % x f
Nominal
).

The Pfeiffer Vacuum parameter set
Fan
Two options in the connection configuration enable continuous or temperature controlled
operation of a connected air cooling unit (see p. 17, chap. 6.3). Threshold values are
type-specific and are anchored in the electronic drive unit.
Sealing gas valve
Switch on or off a sealing gas valve which is connected to a pre-configured output via
parameter [P:050].
Vent modesThe turbopump can be vented only after the function "pumping station" has been
switched off. Signals are sent to configured outputs with a fixed delay of 6 s. There are
three options for operation with a venting valve connected.
Enable venting via parameter [P:012].
Select the venting mode via parameter [P:030].
Delayed venting
Start and venting time after "pumping station off" are configurable and depend on the rotation speed of the turbopump.
Parameter [P:030] = 0
Adjust the venting rotation speed in % of the nominal rotation speed via parameter
[P:720].
Adjust the venting time in s via parameter [P:721].
Monitoring the thermal load
If the venting rotation speed is underrun, the venting valve will open for the set venting
time. In the event of a power failure, venting will occur if the set venting rotation speed is
underrun. In this case, the venting period depends on the residual energy delivered by
the moving rotor. When power is restored, the venting process is interrupted.
No venting
No venting is performed during this operation mode.
Parameter [P:030] = 1
Direct venting
Start and venting time are not configurable. Venting starts with a delay of 6 s after "pumping station off". When the function "pumping station" is switched on renewed, the venting
valve closes automatically. In the event of a power failure, venting will occur if an anchored type-specific rotation speed is underrun. When power is restored, the venting
process is interrupted.
Parameter [P:030] = 2
If threshold values are overrun, output signals from temperature sensors allow the pump
to be brought to a safe condition. Depending on pump type, temperature threshold values for warnings and error messages are saved fixed in the electronic drive unit . For
information purposes, various status queries are prepared in the parameter set.

6.5Switching on/off the pump
Switching onThe function "pumping station" comprises turbopump operation with control of all con-
nected accessories (e.g. backing pump).
Switch on the supply voltage with switch S1 on the power supply.
Parameter [P:023] = 1 (default)
Parameter [P:010] = 1
Ongoing (and removed) error messages are reset. After a successfully completed selftest, the electronic drive unit sets the turbopump motor and all connected accessories
into operation depending on their configuration.
When the pumping station is activated, the motor of the turbopump can be switched off
and on via the function [P:023].
Switching offParameter [P:010] = 0
The electronic drive unit switches off the turbopump and activates preset accessory options (e.g. venting, backing pump).
Wait for the complete standstill of the pump.
Cut off the supply voltage with switch S1 on the power supply.

8.1General
Turbopump and electronic drive unit malfunctions always result in a warning or error
message. In both cases, the electronic drive unit outputs an error code. Operating messages are generally displayed via the LEDs on the electronic drive unit. If an error occurs,
the turbopump and connected devices will be switched off. The selected venting mode
will be triggered after the preset delay.
Automatic start-up after power failure or malfunction acknowledgement
The function "pumping station" of the electronic drive unit remains active after power
failure or errors that lead to shut down the pump or the system. The turbopump runs up
automatically after power ist restoresd or malfunction acknowledgement.
Switch off the function "pumping station" if necessary.
Provide safety measures against interference in the high vacuum flange while the tur-
bopump is running.
8.2Operation display via LED
