The software option “Technology software” in the basic unit is released for use by means of a PIN number.

If the converter is ordered with the appropriate short code, it will be supplied with the software option enabled. The PIN number is supplied with the unit.

If this option is ordered subsequently, the PIN number will be sent to the customer who must enable the option as described in the operating instructions.

Technology controller

The technology controller can be used for higher-level closed-loop controls, such as,tension, position or pressure controllers. The output can be wired as required and can act, for example,as a main setpoint, additional setpoint or current limit.

The technology controller is a PID controller with separate settings for the closed-loop control characteristics. A droop setting is also available.

Connector numbers can be entered freely to select the source for setpoint and actual value. A filter (PT1 element) can be parameterized at the setpoint and actual value inputs.

The technology controller output can be limited by mutually independent, positive and negative values, which can be parameterized or input via freely selectable connectors. The output signal can be weighted multiplicatively (parameterized or via connector signal) after the limiting stage.
