7.3.2. Short description/terminology
Function of the Human Machine Interface (HMI), option
Clear system control is made possible by the indication on the display
via text menus. Along with the entry of system parameters, the system
status is also output.
HMI devices directly installed in the power supply are not necessarily
responsible for the display and entry of the data for the device. In principle
all HMI devices in the multi-unit system only display the overall
system parameters.
Function of the Remote Control Unit (RCU), option
RCU devices have the same functionality as HMIs, they are a device
variant with a dedicated case.
In addition, the RCUs can also have an interlock switch on the front.
Function
As per the analogue interface, using the HMI reference values such as
current, voltage and power can be specified, the voltage switched on/off
and warnings and errors acknowledged.
In addition, the HMI provides the following features:
Plain text indication of errors and warnings.
Error thresholds for overcurrent and overvoltage.
Adjustment of the bandwidth of the analogue inputs and outputs
(set and actual values).
Linear internal resistance simulation.
Selection of the active interface (analogue, HMI or RS232).
Permanent storage of the selected settings
(HMI specific settings as well as system settings).
Setting the function and characteristics of the Versatile Limit
Switch (VLS).
With TFE (function generator) option:
Loading/activation of a function sequence in the flash.
Changing function generator settings
(Note: a user-defined function can only be changed using the
TopControl application)
