VC 1100 Overview

1 Overview
VIBROCONTROL 1100 is a 2 channel microprocessor controlled
machine condition monitor. Vibration velocity transducers or vibra-
tion acceleration transducers (accelerometers) are used to sense
the vibrations from a machine.

VIBROCONTROL 1100 is a compact machine monitor. All com-

ponents, like power supply, connectors, signal conditioners, micro-
processor and operator panel are integrated to one splash- proofed
housing.

Figure 1-1: Top view of a VIBROCONTROL 1100 with cover removed

VIBROCONTROL 1100 is complete; there are no options. Three

alarm relays, one OK-relay, two analog outputs, two buffered out-
puts, remote I/O interface, and signal conditioners are built-in.

There are no jumpers or potentiometers. All functions are com-

pletely microprocessor controlled and are configured using the
built-in operator panel or via the remote interface with a computer
or process controller.

The wiring is done through removable terminal strip connectors.

Vibration analyzers or data collectors can be connected to the

buffered outputs without interrupting the monitoring functions.

Measured Values

Displayed Parameters
The measured values can be displayed in metric or English units:

Measured Parameter Abbreviation Unit

Vibration Displacement s mm mils
Velocity v mm/s ips
Vibration Acceleration a g m/s2

If accelerometers are used, the Bearing Condition of rolling ele-

ment bearings can be measured and monitored.
The unit for Bearing Condition is BCU.

Bearing Condition --- BCU

BCU Scaling Factor

Due to the BCU scaling factor, the BCU measuring result can be
multiplied with a factor. This factor is determined with parameter
J19 for channel A and J20 for channel B in the range between 0.1
and 10. Factor 1 displays the measuring result not scaled.

The BCU scaling factor makes it possible to set the measuring

result to a defined inital value in order to compare several
measuring points. The BCU scaling factor is to be employed
preferrably with new bearings.

Note:
The selected scaling factor must be considered when setting the
BCU limit value. If for instance the measuring result is divided by
two due to the scaling factor, also the limit value must be divided
by two.

VC 1100 Overview

Example how to use the BCU scaling factor

In case of BCU measurements, the measuring result depends on
various factors, e.g. on the place of the pickup installation, on the
type of connection (e.g. tightening torque of the pickup) etc. The
consequence may be different measuring results with identical
machines and the same bearing condition units.
To enable a clear comparison of the single measuring points
(change of the bearing condition over a longer measuring period),
by means of the BCU scaling factor (parameters J19, J20) the
measuring results can be set to the same initial value (desired
value at the beginning of the measurement) for each measuring
point.

Carry out scaling

Input the scaling factor 1 for the respective measuring points.
Acquire the current measuring result.
From the desired BCU initial value and the current measuring
result of the respective measuring point, the BCU scaling factor
J19 or J20 is calculated with the following formula:

desired initial value

J 19 =
current measuring result

After the parameter input of all scaling factors, the re-spective

measuring point must display the desired BCU initial value.

Overview VC 1100

BCU averaging
The BCU value may vary depending on the operating conditions of
a machine, for example due to varying loading conditions.
A defective anti-friction element which regulary changes its
position in such a way that the damaged part comes into contact
with the bearing running surface only after several revolutions, will
also cause varying BCU values.
Variations of that kind do not allow the conclusion that the bearing
is damaged.

The measured value can be averaged by means of a filter with

settable time constant (averaging time 10 ... 3600 secs.) in order
that these "variations" (which do not represent the normal
condition of the machine) don't cause an alarm message.

The bigger the selected averaging time

the more stable the measured value (particularly important for
trend considerations)
the more delayed the response behaviour of the limit value
monitoring.

The averaging be switched on and off separately for channel A

and channel B (parameters J15 ... J18).

Machine vibrations are sensed by the vibration velocity trans-
ducers or accelerometers. Which pickup to use depends on the
application. The following table lists the filters that may be used
with the different measured parameters and pickup types:

VC 1100 Overview

Linearization
The characteristic of vibration velocity transducers is not linear in
the lower frequency range, i.e. with frequencies around 10 Hz.
VIBROCONTROL 1100 corrects this nonlinearity with a built-in
linearization circuit (Standard fo = 8 Hz / the special design fo =
15 Hz is identifield by an adhesive label inside the instruments).
The result is a linear frequency response characteristic for the total
measuring system down to 1 Hz.
The linearization circuit can be activated or deactivated by means
of parameter input (IO6).

Settling Time and Cycle Times

Electronic components like amplifiers, filters, etc. need a certain
amount of time to provide the correct output signal after the input
signal has been switched or changed.
This time is called settling time. Components used to measure low
frequencies have longer settling times than components used to
measure higher frequencies.

VIBROCONTROL 1100
can be configured as a single channel monitor or a 2 channel
monitor.

Single Channel Monitor (Vibration and Bearing Condition)

Operating as a single channel monitor, settling times are not

required, since the vibration signal is not switched from channel A
to channel B. The configuration, filter characteristic and gain, etc.
of the Vibration Signal Conditioner and the Bearing Condition
Detector do not need to be changed; therefore the vibration signal
is measured continuously.

Cycle Time: Built-in Display 0.5 s

Alarm level comparison 0.25 s

2 Channel Monitor (Vibration)

The vibration signals of channel A and B are switched alternately

(multiplexed) to the Vibration Signal Conditioner.
For each switch between channel A and B, the Vibration Signal
Conditioner is automatically re-configured and settling times are
required.
The total time for one measurement consists of the settling time
and the measurement time. The measurement time is always 3
seconds.
Outside the measuring times, the current display values of the
other channel are frozen, the current measured value, however, is
monitored in intervals of 0.25 seconds.

VC1100E/overview Version 2
Schenck VIBRO GmbH, D-64273 Darmstadt, November 97 C01 / C02 - C11 / C12 1-7
Overview VC 1100

The following table shows the settling times and the cycle times
(sum of settling and measuring time) for different functions and
setups of the Vibration Signal Conditioner. Different setups can be
used for channel A and B. The total cycle time is the sum of the
cycle times for channel A and B.

Activated Function Settling Time Cycle Time

High Pass Filter: 1 Hz 1.75 s 4.75 s
High Pass Filter: 3 Hz 1.00 s 4.00 s
High Pass Filter.: 10 Hz ISO 1.25 s 4.25 s
High Pass Filter: Special 1.75 s 4.25 s
Integrator 6.00 s 9.00 s
Linearization Circuit: 5.75 s 8.75 s

If more than one function has been selected, the function with the
longest settling time determines the total settling time.

2 Channel Monitor (Vibration and Bearing Condition)

Since VIBROCONTROL 1100 is equipped with a Bearing Condit-

ion Detector, the measurement of Bearing Condition is indepen-
dent of the vibration measurement.
The settling time is 2.75 s and the measuring time is 1.25 s.

1-8 C01 / C02 - C11 / C12 Schenck VIBRO GmbH, D-64273 Darmstadt, November 97
VC 1100 Overview

Monitoring
Each measuring channel has three limit values. Two limit values
for monitoring the vibration level, (lim_1 and lim_2), and one limit
value for Bearing Condition (lim_b). Each limit value can be set
individually.
Each limit value can be set to any value between 10 % and 100 %
of the measuring range. Larger or smaller limit values are not
accepted and will generate an error message

For each limit value an alarm delay time between 1 and 99

seconds can be selected. Limit value exceedance is only
acknowledged if the monitored signal remains above the limit
value for a period of time longer than the selected delay time.
When acknowledged, the event in entered into the 'Log Book', and
if it is configured to do so, the appropriate relay trips

In the 2 channel mode the alarm delay time is related to the

measurement cycle of the appropriate channel. Two cases have to
be considered:

Case 1
The measured value exceeds the limit value and the alarm delay
time is shorter than the remaining measurement time of this cycle.
If the measured value stays above the limit value, the alarm event
is acknowledged after the alarm delay time.

Case 2
The measured value exceeds the limit value and the alarm delay
time is longer than the remaining measurement time of this cycle.
At the end of the measurement cycle, the alarm delay time is
suspended. If the measured value still exceeds the limit value at
the beginning of the next measurement cycle, the alarm delay
time is resumed. This procedure is continued until the end of the
alarm delay time. At this point the alarm event is acknowledged. In
case 2 the alarm delay time is prolonged by the measurement
cycle of the other channel.

Overview VC 1100

Log Book
All events are stored in a circular buffer using short notation. This
buffer can store up to 99 events.
Events are:
Power Up; limit value exceedance; reset instructions; and internal
errors detected by the self monitoring.

If the Log Book capacity is exceeded, the "oldest" event is deleted

and all stored events are shifted one position, freeing space to
store the new event.
The Log Book can be displayed on the built-in display or read via
the remote interface.
Each Log Book entry begins with an "H", (for History) followed by a
two digit running number and a 'short' notation of the event.

Example:
H03 K1 Lim1 A

Meaning:
H03 Label of Log Book entry
K1 Relay K1 tripped
Lim1 A because limit value lim_1 of channel A has been
exceeded.

The Log Book is deleted every time the VIBROCONTROL 1100 is

powered up. It can also be deleted using the built-in operator panel
or via the serial interface.

VC 1100 Overview

Relays
Three relays are provided which are activated on alarm exceedan-
ce if so programmed.
They are designated as K1, K2, and K3.

Programming the Relays

Relay operation is defined by the setup parameters:

1. Which limit value controls which relay.

2. Latching or Non-Latching Mode.
3. Energized or de-energized Operation.
4. Control a relay by combining several limit values using a
logical OR or AND statement.

Comment to 1.
Limit value exceedances can be configured as single events or
grouped events.
A configuration that is commonly used is, lim_1A and lim_1B con-
trol relay K1, and lim_2A and lim_2B control relay K2.

Comment to 2.
Latching Mode

The relay remains latched (tripped) until it is reset using the control
panel, reset switch, or via the remote interface.

Non-Latching Mode

The relay is automatically reset when the measured value drops

below the limit value.

Comment to 3.
This choice depends on the user's philosophy. What is important
though, is preventing a false relay trip if power to the VIBROCON-
TROL 1100 is disconnected.

Mode No Alarm Alarm

Normally Energized Relay active Relay not active
Normally De-Energized Relay not active Relay active

Schenck VIBRO GmbH, D-64273 Darmstadt, November 97 C01 / C02 - C11 / C12 1-11
Overview VC 1100

Comment to 4.
AND
Several limit values control one relay. This relay is tripped only if
all limit values are exceeded.

OR
Several limit values control one relay. This relay is tripped if at
least one limit value is exceeded.

Note:
If a measuring channel or a limit value has been set to "not active"
("N") and this limit value is combined with an AND, this logical
condition can never become "true". Therefore the alarm indication
can never be activated.

OK-Monitoring
The OK-Monitoring is used to report malfunctions and/or data
failure of the program and data stores, electric damages or the
failure of the pickup and its connection lines. The monitoring
covers an "External range recording" of the vibration signal. Errors
caused by cable breakage, short circuit or earth fault of the signal
lines are recognized, reported and written into the log book.

Since the OK-Relay is normally energized, the messages are

output in the operating state network ON/OFF.

VC 1100 Overview

System messages such as:

no calibration data in EEprom

no dialog data in EEprom
will cause an OK-error which can be reset by means of Relay
Reset.

Important:
When an OK error occurs, all limit relays maintain their current
status. After removing the OK error and acknowledging it by
"Relay Reset", they perform their normal function again.

In case of a system error message, e.g.

calibration data not readable (ER -31)

no valid calibration data in the EEPROM (ER -37)
a hardware error is present.

This error can only be eliminated by a Schenck service station or

in the parent company.

Several terms are commonly used for measured vibration para-
meters. The following is a summery of terms used in this manual.

Signal Detection Type:

Zero-to-Peak Value *)
Definition: The maximum deviation of the absolute value
of the vibration signal from zero.
Used here: peak or pc
Other terms: peak-value, amplitude, single amplitude

Signal Detection Type:

Peak-to-Peak Value *)
Definition: The maximum distance between peak nega-
tive and peak positive of the vibration signal.
Used here: peak-to-peak or ppc
Other terms: amplitude, double amplitude

3 Connectors and Interfaces

Fundamentals

All connections including those for power are inside the hous-
ing.

Feed cables into the housing via feed-through fittings. There

is a total of 3 x PG 13.5 and 9 x PG 9 feed-through fittings; 6
on each side.
The threads are PG9, a standard commonly used in Europe.
Each VIBROCONTROL 1100 comes with two PG9/PG7 ad-
apters. PG9/1/2"-NPT adapters are also available.
Maximum cable size is 1.5 mm2 (16 AWG).
Use flexible cable only.

Cable ends should have crimp ferrules for a proper connecti-

on to the removable terminal strips. Remove (unplug) the
terminal strips during wiring. VIBROCONTROL 1100 groups
the terminal strips in functional blocks (pickups, remote I/O,
relays, etc.) and each is coded to prevent mix-ups.

Use shielded cables to suppress external RF noise. This is

not necessary for power and relay wiring.
Connect all shields to the screw terminals located on top of
both sides of the internal housing (SE).

Run signal cables a minimum of 0.5 m (20 inches) from po-

wer cables. If you must cross a power cable do so at right an-
gles.

By means of steel flexible tubes, protect signal leads from

mechanical damage and electrical interferences.

Grounding
Connect protective ground of the power cord to the PE terminal
located on top of the internal housing.
This is the central grounding point for the housing. This point (PE)
is connected to TE by a jumper wire between terminal strip 1/2 and
SE. This is the standard configuration.
In special cases, for example if a peripheral instrument is used
with internally grounded inputs, open the connection between PE
and TE by removing this jumper wire.
Please consult the General Grounding Recommendation in this

Pickups
Two types of pickups can be connected:

a) Vibration Velocity Transducers

b) Vibration Acceleration Transducers (Accelerometers)

Velocity pickups and accelerometers have different interfaces. The

velocity transducer (Type VS - ...) is an active pickup, i.e. it does
not require a supply voltage. The cable has two conductors and a
shield.

The accelerometer (Type AS - ...) is a passive pickup, i.e. it has a

built-in charge amplifier which requires a supply voltage. VIBRO-
CONTROL 1100 supplies accelerometers with -24 V DC with a
max. current of 30 mA. The cable has of 4 conductors and a
shield.

Fig. 3 - 3 : Connecting Vibration Velocity and Vibration

Acceleration Transducer
rt = red, ws = white, sw = black, ge = yellow, br = brown,
ge/sw = yellow/black

Standard pickup cable length is 5 m (16 feet). A maximum cable

length of 200 m (600 feet) requires proper installation including
appropriate junction boxes and signal cables.
For more information, please consult the manual for the pickup
used.

Relay Reset
Use only galvanically free switches with the Relay-Reset Input to
manually reset latched relays. Latched relays can also be reset via
the operating panel or through the remote interface.

Relays
Consider the following if the relay outputs are to be used.

Decide if the relays are to be "normally energized" or "nor-

mally de-energized". Setup parameters (N10, N11, N12)
must be consistent with the wiring.
Refer to the examples on the next page.
If a relay is configured as latching (see parameters N07, N08,
N09) there are three ways to reset it.
With the operating panel; via the remote interface; using the
Relay-Reset Input
To use the Relay-Reset Input, connect a galvanically free
switch to terminals 35 and 36 (see previous page).
If conductive loads are connected, provide appropriate spark
suppression placed as close as possible to the part that would
generate the spark.

Contact Rating: max. 5 A, 220 V AC (Ohmic load)

A spark extinguisher must be installed as close to the

spark generator as possible !

Analog Outputs
The analog outputs are used for example with strip chart recorders
and analog meters. These analog outputs are not galvanically
free, (isolated) and should only be used with instruments that have
galvanically free inputs.
Both analog outputs are independent and of equal design.
Their function depends on how they are configured (see parame-
ters L1, L2, L3, L4).

Example :
Configure analog output 1 for the measured vibration value of
channel B "vib_B" using a 4 ... 20 mA signal.
The setup parameters for channel B are:
Measured Parameter J04: v (vibration velocity)
Unit J06: mm/s (or ips)s
Signal Detection J08: rms
Measured Tange J10: 50.0 (or 2.00)

Using this setup, an output signal of 4 mA corresponds to a vibrat-

ion level of 0 mm/s (0 ips). An output signal of 20 mA corresponds
to a vibration level of 50.0 mm/s (2.00 ips).

Technical Data :
Current Output: 0/4 ... 20 mA Load < 500
Voltage Output: 0 ... 10 V RL > 1 k, short-circuit proof

The buffered outputs provide the pickup signals for on site analy-
sis or data collection. The signal is attenuated by a factor of 0.1.
The buffer amplifier strips off the DC part of the pickup signal.

Remote I/O
VIBROCONTROL 1100 has two RS-232C serial interfaces. Hard-
ware handshakes are not required for communication with process
controllers or personal computers (HOST). This reduces the num-
ber of cable conductors required.
Cables should be shielded with two twisted pairs. The Remote In-
terface provides a means to interrogate and modify the configura-
tion as well as obtain the measured values from up to 205 daisy-
chained VIBROCONTROL 1100's.
VIBROCONTROL 1100 can be connected to a HOST in two diffe-
rent ways:

a) A HOST communicating with one VC-1100

for 25-pole Sub-D Plug

Error Messages

VIBROCONTROL 1100 automatically checks for setup consisten-

cy upon exiting the "Change Setup Parameters" mode. If the setup
is not consistent, an error message is displayed.

The consistency check stops at the first inconsistency detected. It

assumes that the parameter with the lowest number is correct.
Therefore, a parameter other than the one displayed could be the
cause of the inconsistency.

A list of error messages appears on the next page.

5 List of Setup Parameters

Basic Concepts
VIBROCONTROL 1100 stores its setup parameters in non-volatile
memory. The operating system uses this data to configure the
analog circuits and the software modules. All data is uniquely na-
med. We call this data "Setup Parameters" or simply "Parameters"
and reference them by name. The setup parameter values can ea-
sily be changed within predefined ranges, providing a convenient
way to configure the measuring and monitoring system.

VIBROCONTROL 1100 checks the consistency of the setup after

leaving the "Change Setup Parameters" mode. If the setup is in-
consistent, the display shows an error messages. The setup must
be corrected since the VIBROCONTROL 1100 will not accept an
inconsistent setup.

Parameter list structure

Parameters are listed in sequence with a complete definition. The
definition describes its function, choices, and range.

The same format is used for all parameters.

Example:
Group
Number
Title

K 01 Channel A: Lower Frequency Corner

Choices: 1 Hz, 3 Hz, 10 Hz ISO

Function: Select the lower frequency corner for channel A

Parameter specifier
All setup parameters are organized in functional groups. The
"Parameter Specifier" consists of a group and a number within the
group. The first character specifies the group and the two digit
number specifies the individual parameter.

ral frequency of the pickup(f0 < 8 Hz or f0 < 15 Hz according to the
pickup type).

The standard equipment of the VIBROCONTROL 1100 system

comprises a frequency response linearization for transducer natu-
ral frequencies of f 0 = 8 Hz. The special design for f 0 = 15 Hz is
identified by the adhesive label moving coil linearization 15 Hz"

Filter Configuration Group K

General
Filters eliminate frequency components of the vibration signal out-
side a specified frequency range. The lower and upper frequency
corners define the frequency range or the bandwidth of the filter.
VIBROCONTROL 1100 provides several filters which are selected
based on application. For each channel an upper and lower fre-
quency corner is selected allowing each channel to use a different
filter.
International standard ISO 2373 defines a filter that guarantees
comparable readings (see also standards DIN/ISO 3945 and DIN
45 666). VIBROCONTROL 1100 provides this type of filter.
ISO 2372 designates the frequency corners for this filter.
The ISO-Filter has an order of 3. The other filters you can select
are 2nd order Butterworth-filters. The damping at the specified fre-
quency corner is -1 dB.

Special Filters
If an application requires special filters, please contact your
SCHENCK representative.
VIBROCONTROL 1100 can extend the signal conditioner using a
piggy-back PC board with the customized filter.
The parameter list references the special filter with the choice
"special". If "special" is set, the supplementary filter is switched to
the selected channel.
A label on the internal housing would show the specification for the
special filter.

K 01 Channel A : Lower Frequency Corner:

Choises : 1 Hz, 3 Hz, 10 Hz ISO

Function : Select lower frequency corner for channel A.
1 Hz = Lower frequency corner
3 Hz = Lower frequency corner

Limit Value Configuration Group M

General
This parameter group enables or disables the monitoring functions
for both channels. Three limit values can be defined for each
channel; two for vibration levels and one for bearing condition.
Each limit value can be enabled or disabled and it's value and
alarm delay time set individually.
The manual uses notations lim_1 (limit 1), lim_2 (limit 2), and
lim_b (BCU) for the limit values. The unit of the corresponding
measured parameter defines the unit of the limit value.
VIBROCONTROL 1100 accepts limit values in the range of 10 %
to 100 % of the corresponding full scale. The consistency check
generates error-message -63 if the limit values are outside this
range.
Alarm delay times are in seconds. If the measured value exceeds
the limit value for a time longer than the alarm delay time, VIBRO-
CONTROL 1100 generates an event. The event is stored in the
Log Book and the assigned relay is tripped as defined in the setup.

Warning:
When an OK error occurs, all limit relays maintain their current
status. After removing the OK error and acknowledging it by "Relay
reset", they perform their normal function again.

OK-Monitoring Group O

General
VIBROCONTROL 1100 has a cyclic self-monitoring routine.
This routine tests the pickups and the cables between VIBRO-
CONTROL 1100 and the pickups. The pickup signal is checked to
verify that it remains within a predefined range. This method de-
tects errors such as disconnected pickups, broken cables and
shorts. If an OK error occurs, the OK relay is tripped and the event
is stored in the Log Book.

Note:
When vibration velocity transducers with moving coil are used,
lead breakage or short-circuit cannot usually be recognized. A
constant current is thus superposed to the measuring signal. This
current effects a direct voltage drop of approx. 1 V in the VC-1100.
This voltage drop is measured as OK voltage.
The OK relay is configured to the normally energized mode. In this
mode a power failure at the VIBROCONTROL 1100 will trip the
OK relay to the alarm position.
In special cases, for example if line drivers or isolation amplifiers
are used, it might be necessary to disable the OK monitoring
function for the pickups. Therefore, VIBROCONTROL 1100 provi-
des for disabling this function. This has no effect on other self-
monitoring functions.

O 01 Channel A : OK Monitoring

Choises : Y, N
Function : Enable or disable OK monitoring of the pickup on
channel A.
Y = OK monitoring for pickup channel A is active
N = OK monitoring for pickup channel A is not

Function : Enable or disable OK monitoring of the pickup on
channel B.
Y = OK monitoring for pickup channel B is active
N = OK monitoring for pickup channel B is not
active

Note for the definition of the OK-limits

If the input value of the OK-upper value is smaller than the input
value for the OK-lower value, an OK error message is displayed.

The typical setting values for the OK-upper limit and the OK-lower
limit are dependent on the transducer type. For SCHENCK trans-
ducers the following settings are recommended:

Velocity transducer (series VS - ...)

OK-upper limit : 2.5
OK-lower limit : 0.5

Acceleration sensor (series AS - ...)

OK-upper limit : - 1
OK-lower limit : -20

Service Functions Gruppe S

General
VIBROCONTROL 1100 provides direct access to the relays and
analog outputs. Use these functions to test the connected periphe-
rals including wiring.
These functions also help programmers of process control sy-
stems to verify the interface with VIBROCONTROL 1100. Additio-
nally, VIBROCONTROL 1100 itself can be tested using the self-
test and self-calibration functions.

Warning
The service functions suspend all measuring and monitoring
functions.
Changing relay outputs could cause machine shutdown !

Relay Test
Switch each relay to the "active" and "inactive" position . Test the
reaction of the system in both positions. Repeat the procedure for
all relays including the OK- relay.

Analog Output Test

Set each analog output to a predefined output voltage or current.
Check to see if the same levels are displayed, for example on the
analog meter in the control room.

Self-test
The self-test takes about 15 seconds. During this test the most im-
portant modules of the microprocessor system are checked, inclu-
ding stored data. "Test" is displayed during the test along with a
countdown from 10 to 0. The self-test is not interruptible.
Normally, "TEST ok" is displayed at the end of the self-test. Press
any key to continue.
If the self-test detects an error, the error message is displayed for
x seconds and automati- cally restarts the system.
The error message is stored in the Log Book.

List of Setup Parameters VC 1100

Self-calibration
The self-calibration program takes about 15 minutes. During this
time, the signal conditioners, multiplexers, and analog-to-digital
converters, etc. are checked using an internally generated test si-
gnal.
This program does not have access to the input and output mo-
dules like relays, pre-amplifiers, and amplifiers for the analog out-
puts. Use the relay and analog output tests to check these functi-
ons.
"Calibration" is displayed during the self-calibration along with a
number indicating the current test. This program is not interrupti-
ble. Remember that during self-calibration all measuring and mo-
nitoring functions are suspended.
The status of the relays and analog outputs does not change du-
ring the self-calibration.

Installation and Commissioning VC 1100

Checks
Use the VIBROCONTROL 1100 service functions to verify all
connected peripheral functions.
Service functions are described in chapter 5, under setup para-
meters group S.

Relays: Service parameters S01...S04

Analog outputs: Service parameters S05...S08

These functions provide a means to switch each relay separately

and to set the analog outputs to predefined values.

Complete the installation by running self-test (S09) and auto-

calibration (S10).

Recommendation
Run auto-calibration under operating conditions with the machi-
nery running.
The auto-calibration function does not change setup parameters.
