ReTRoC (Real Time Robot Controller) now has an easy to use intelligent vacuum pump controller. Connecting a pump, a release valve and a vacuum sensor to the controller it is possible to activate the pump with energy saving features with an M10 instruction:
M10 Q10 K0 P800 S100 T700 R1.5
where:
- Q: Output channel (0-AO0; 10-DO0; 11-DO1)
- K: Analog input feedback (0-AI0)
- P: Threshold value (0 to 4095)
- S: Hysteresis (0 to 4095)
- T: Output PWM (-4095 to 4095)
- R: Timeout (0-means no timeout)
And the instruction M11 turns the vacuum off
