2 IntroductionPLUS Master Control

The PLUS Master Control makes it possible to interconnect several PLUS units and makesthem work together optimally from the point of view of pressure regulation, overallpower consumption and operating hours.

It is thus easy to create a vacuum system from several PLUS vacuum pumps without theneed for an additional control cabinet.

NOTICEInstallation, settings and operation of the pumps in PLUS Master control mode.

This mode requires the PLUS vacuum pumps to be interconnected with each other viaan Ethernet connection. A total number of 2 to 6 PLUS pumps is supported.

NOTEInstruction manual for the PLUS Master Control.

This document is only delivered on request and intended for "Role 2" and “Role 3” peo-ple, see Role and User [► 6].It contains additional information about advanced settings for the use of the “PLUSMaster control” function.

• the installation of an external pressure sensor located upstream of the valves, so thatthe customer's process pressure information is known to the control system,

• the connection of the control signal of each valve to the control unit of the pump onwhich it is mounted, to allow automatic actuation by the system.

ð For more information, refer to the instruction manual(s) of the respective pump(s).

RUNNING WARNING

– Warnings are an indication that an operating parameter has exceeded the normalthreshold, but do not affect the operation of the vacuum pumps and the PLUS sys-tem.

– Alarms are an indication that an operating parameter has exceeded the maximumpermissible threshold. In case of an alarm, the vacuum pump affected is automatical-ly shut down by its local control system. However the PLUS system continues to op-erate with the other PLUS pumps still in operation.

In the event of a warning or alarm, refer to the “WARNING/ALARM” menu in the con-trol interface of the relevant pump and to the instruction manual of this pump for trou-bleshooting and acknowledgement.

It is possible to de-prioritize vacuum pumps with active warnings in the PLUS system toavoid the risk of an alarm or a failure, see Settings [► 31].On the opposite, it is also possible to automatically acknowledge warnings directly fromthe control interface of the PLUS Master Control by activating the "Auto warning ac-knowledgement" button, see Settings [► 31].

6.8.2 Warnings / Alarms ThresholdsThe thresholds that trigger warnings and alarms can be set by Busch for particular appli-cations, in the control interface of each individual PLUS pump that is part of the PLUSsystem. Contact Busch for more information.

6.8.3 Modbus Communication LossIf for any reason the Modbus communication (Ethernet network) is lost between thePLUS Master Control system and one of the vacuum pumps during operation, the sys-tem will continue to operate without the concerned pump. This vacuum pump will auto-matically shut down for safety reasons. It will be automatically reintegrated into the sys-tem when communication is re-established.

NOTEThis setting can be changed in the control interface of each of the PLUS pumps, so thatthe vacuum pumps will continue to operate with the last parameters received instead ofstopping in case of Modbus communication loss.

To allow the vacuum pumps to operate with the last received parameters in case ofModbus communication loss:

• In the control interface of each PLUS vacuum pump in the system, switch off the"Modbus Ethernet port 1 disconnected, Stop in case of alarm" parameter (availablefor “Role 3“ people, password required ► see Role and User [► 6]).

This menu is used to set the operating hours target for the vacuum pumps integrated inthe system.

By default (“Unequal running hours between vacuum pumps” set to "off"), the systemcontrols the PLUS pumps so that they all have the closest possible number of operatinghours. This makes it possible to group the maintenance of all the pumps together andthus limit the number of maintenance operations required.

When the function “Unequal running hours between vacuum pumps” is activated (setto “on”), it is possible to individually define a different running hours target for eachPLUS pump, and thus to shift the maintenance. This allows maintenance operations tobe carried out on one part of the pumps while the system is running with the rest of thepumps, thus avoiding production downtime.

To activate the function:

• Switch on the “Unequal running hours between vacuum pumps” button, passwordrequired ► Role 2, see Role and User [► 6].

NOTEAuto pump change in case of warning.

If the option "Auto pump change in case of warning" is activated (Settings Screen 2[► 32]), it will have priority over the control of the vacuum pumps operating hoursby the PLUS Master Control system.

In case of active warnings on some vacuum pumps that would not be acknowledged byusers, an offset may therefore occur in the planning of the operating hours of thesepumps.

The function “Auto pump change in case of warning” allows the PLUS Master Controlsystem to automatically de-prioritize vacuum pumps with active warnings to avoid therisk of an alarm or a failure.

When the function is activated, all vacuum pumps in the system with an active warningwill be de-prioritized: the system will use these pumps only if all the other pumps are al-ready in operation and additional pumps are required to reach the vacuum target. Assoon as a vacuum pump can be stopped by the PLUS Master Control, pumps with activewarning will be stopped first.

To activate the function:

• Switch on the “Auto pump change in case of warning” button, password required ►Role 2, see Role and User [► 6].

NOTEAuto pump change in case of warning.

If the option "Auto pump change in case of warning" is activated (Settings Screen 2[► 32]), it will have priority over the control of the vacuum pumps operating hoursby the PLUS Master Control system.

In case of active warnings on some vacuum pumps that would not be acknowledged byusers, an offset may therefore occur in the planning of the operating hours of thesepumps.

To overcome this, it is also possible to automatically acknowledge warnings directly fromthe control interface of the PLUS Master Control. This option is useful if the user prior-itizes the planning of the operating hours of the vacuum pump by the PLUS Master Con-trol system.

After a warning appears on a vacuum pump, and as soon as it is no longer active, it willbe automatically acknowledged by the system. The pump will no longer be de-prioritizedand can be used by the PLUS Master Control according to the parameters defined by theuser in the screen “Unequal running hours between vacuum pumps” (Settings Screen 1[► 31]).To activate the function:

7 | Settings

34 / 44 Instruction Manual PLUS Master Control R5 PLUS_EN_en

• P = Proportional gain (Kp)

• I = Integral time (Tn)

• D = Derivate time (Tv)

By default, two sets of parameters are programmed in the control unit(s) of the ma-chine(s):

End vacuum ≤ inlet pressure < 125 mbar 125 mbar ≤ inlet pressure < 400 mbar

P (Kp) I (Tn) D (Tv) P (Kp) I (Tn) D (Tv)

The modification of the PID parameters is possible, in order to adjust the reactivity / sta-bility of the machine(s) and fine tune the pressure control to each application and eachprocess requirement.

• To change the PID settings:

– Set the required target pressure.

– Turn on the PLUS Master regulation (see System Activation [► 16]).– Click on the value(s) to be modified (PID, switching pressure between the two sets of

parameters) and type the new value(s).

– The system will dynamically use the new parameters. Test and adjust the settings un-til the system achieves the required performance.

• To restore the factory settings:

– Press the “Factory settings” button.

NOTICEWrong PID settings

Risk of loss of performance!

Selecting inappropriate PID settings can affect system performance.

• Make sure that the pressure control is effective at each step of the process and restorefactory settings if necessary.

7.2 Local Settings of the PLUS PumpsThe parameters and settings of the PLUS Master Control have priority over the localparameters and settings of each PLUS vacuum pump in the system.

Therefore, all parameters described in this manual and set through the PLUS MasterControl interface apply to all pumps instead of their local settings (Ecomode, Week-plan-ner, Warm-up and cool-down,…).

However, some parameters are not controlled by the PLUS Master Control. In this casethe local parameters defined in the control interface of each PLUS pump apply. This isparticularly the case for the following functions:

• gas ballast control,

• warnings and alarms,

• advanced pumps settings.

In addition, the basic settings of the PLUS Master interface (language, time and date,units) follow the basic settings of the Master pump. These settings must therefore bechanged in the control interface of the Master pump.

For further information, refer to the specific document “Pump Control Instructions,art.0870213261” and to the instruction manual(s) of the respective pump(s).

The following operating parameters are continuously recorded (one recording every min-ute) on a SD memory card in the programmable logic controller (PLC) located in the con-trol unit (CU) of the Master vacuum pump:

• Pressure in the system

• Rotational frequency of each of the vacuum pumps

• Power consumption of each of the vacuum pumps

• Position of optional isolation valves (open / closed)

In addition, the complete operational data specific to each vacuum pump are recordedlocally in the control system of the pumps. Refer to the instruction manual(s) of the cor-responding pump(s) for more information.

To access the logged data via a LAN connection:

• Connect an Ethernet cable to an available Ethernet port on the Ethernet switch con-necting all the vacuum pumps in the PLUS system.

• Connect the Ethernet cable to a computer. To connect the Ethernet cable to the com-puter, use a USB/LAN adapter or connect it directly to the Ethernet port of the com-puter and use the internal network card (administrator access required).

• Check the ethernet settings of the Master pump (or any other vacuum pump) in thethird screen of the SETTINGS menu of the PLUS Master Control interface (see Set-tings Screen 3 [► 33] and Setting of the PLUS Master Control [► 14]). By default,the Ethernet settings of the Master pump are:

– IP address: 192.168.0.22

– Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

– Gateway: 192.168.0.1

• Check the ethernet settings of the computer network (Internet Protocol Version 4(TCP/IPv4) Properties). The Subnet mask and the first 3 bytes of the IP address mustbe the same as on the PLUS machine.
