1. Safety instructions
1.1 Range of application AUMA actuators are designed for the operation of industrial valves,
e.g. globe valves, gate valves, butterfly valves and ball valves.
For other applications, please consult us. The manufacturer is not liable for
any possible damage resulting from use in other than the designated appli-
cations. Such risk lies entirely with the user.
Observance of these operation instructions is considered as part of the
controls’ designated use.

1.2 Commissioning During electrical operation, certain parts inevitably carry lethal voltages.
(electrical connection) Work on the electrical system or equipment must only be carried out by a
skilled electrician himself or by specially instructed personnel under the
control and supervision of such an electrician and in accordance with the
applicable electrical engineering rules.

1.3 Maintenance The maintenance instructions must be strictly observed, otherwise a safe
operation of the multi-turn actuator/the controls is no longer guaranteed.

1.4 Warnings and notes Non-observance of the warnings and notes may lead to serious injuries or
damage. Qualified personnel must be thoroughly familiar with all warnings
and notes in these operation instructions.
Correct transport, proper storage, mounting and installation, as well as
careful commissioning are essential to ensure a trouble-free and safe
operation.
The following references draw special attention to safety-relevant proce-
dures in these operation instructions. Each is marked by the appropriate
pictograph.

Short instructions Modbus

3.9 Redundant bus connection AUMA Modbus devices can be connected with a second (redundant)
Modbus cable. If the bus on channel 1 fails, e. g. through cable break, the
slave automatically switches to channel 2 after a waiting time.
Thus, the change-over is realised with a time delay (see parameter 5
“Time for channel changing in 0.1s).
Additionally, the communication cannot be carried out on both channels
simultaneously.
If the redundancy is activated (see parameter 4 “Redundancy”), the AUMA
MATIC transmits its data using both channels but receives the data only
using the active channel.

This cable redundancy may only be applied after previous

integration test using the desired process control system!

. For versions with AUMA plug/socket connector (subclause 3.2):

Connect redundant bus cable to channel 2 in the same way as channel 1

. (figure B-2).
For Ex-version with plug/socket connector/terminal board (KP)
(subclause 3.7):
Connect cable B to terminal 6, cable A to terminal 7.
The termination resistor for channel 2 is connected through linking the

. terminals 5 – 6 and 7 – 8.
For Ex-version with plug-in terminal connection (KES)
(subclause 3.8):
Connect cable B to terminal 6, cable A to terminal 7 (figure D-2).
The termination resistor for channel 2 is connected through linking the
terminals 5 – 6 and 7 – 8.

The setting of the redundant bus connection is realised via the parameters
4 and 5 (refer to operation instructions).

Modbus Short instructions

3.10 Bus cables Only cables according to the recommendations of EIA 485 standard may be
used for Modbus wiring.

A maximum of up to 32 Modbus devices may be connected in one segment.

If more stations are to be connected to one Modbus network, several
segments must be connected with repeaters.
The bus cable must be laid at a distance of at least 20 cm from other cables.
It should be laid in a separate, conductive, and earthed cable trunking.
It must be ensured that there are no potential differences between the indivi-
dual devices on the Modbus (perform a potential compensation).

The max. cable length without repeater amounts to 1,200 m (independent of

the baud rate).

Cable recommendation for Modbus

Characteristic impedance: 35 to 165 Ohm, at a measurement

frequency of 3 to 20 MHz.
Cable capacity: < 30 pF per metre
Core diameter > 0.64 mm
Core cross section: > 0.34 mm², corresponds to AWG 22
Loop resistance: < 110 Ohm per km
Screening: copper shielding braid or shielding braid and
shielding foil

3.12 Setting the communication parameters

Push buttons:
T1 RESET
T2 MODIFY
T3 CHANGE MODE:
DEFAULT MODE: for status indication and basic programming,
ADDRESS MODE for address setting
BAUD RATE MODE for baud rate selection

Push button 3 (CHANGE MODE) is used to switch between the following

modes:
1) DEFAULT MODE is characterised by LED 7 (green) being switched off.
Display and modification of type of seating in end position CLOSED,
parity bits and stop bits as well as display of DataExchange, status,
BusActivity, and LocalError.
2) ADDRESS MODE is characterised by LED 7 (green) being illuminated.
The address is adjustable.
3) BAUD RATE MODE
is characterised by the blinking of LED 7 (green).The baud rate is adjustable.If no
push buttons are pressed for 30 seconds, the display will revert to DEFAULT MODE.
The push button MODIFY allows incrementation of the figure shown in
the LED row. The new value is immediately accepted in the DEFAULT
MODE. For ADDRESS MODE and BAUD RATE MODE, the value is
only accepted when leaving these modes.

3.13 Setting parameter type of seating in end position CLOSED, parity bits and number of stop bits

When not pressing push button CHANGE MODE, you are in the DEFAULT
MODE (LED 7 is not illuminated). LED 0, LED 1, and LED 2 show the value
of the three mentioned parameters:

LED Parameter LED On LED Off

0 Type of seating in end position CLOSED torque seating limit seating
1 Parity setting No Parity Even Parity
2 Number of stop bits 2 Stopbits 1 Stopbit

Push button S3 “MODIFY” is used to set these parameters. If, for example,
type of seating in end position CLOSED = torque seating, parity setting =
even parity, and number of stop bits = 1 stop bit is to be selected, the combi-
nation 001 must be illuminated for the first 3 LEDs. The push button
“MODIFY” is operated until this combination appears. The parameter values
become immediately valid.

3.14 Setting the Modbus address The Modbus address is set using push buttons T2 and T3. This is done
according to the following sequence:

(a) Press push button T1 CHANGE MODE (hold down for 1 to 2 seconds):
The green LED 7 ADRESS MODE is illuminated (not blinking);
it indicates the programming mode for the Modbus address.
The actually set Modbus address is displayed as binary coding by LEDs
6 to 0 (1 to 127).
(b) Set desired bus address using push button T2 MODIFY:
(Factory setting: slave address 2)
(c) Each pressing of the push button increments the address value by one.
Address 1 will follow after address 127. If push button T2 MODIFY is
held down (approx. 1/3 s), the incrementation is done automatically.

14
 Actuator controls AUMA MATIC AM/AMExB/AMExC
Short instructions Modbus

(d) After setting the required Modbus address, quit the programming mode
by pressing key T3 CHANGE MODE. The newly set address now
becomes valid.
Pressing the key T3 results in changing to BAUD RATE MODE;
renewed pressing of key 3 results in reverting to DEFAULT MODE.
(e) Alternatively to clause d), pressing the push button T3 may be ommitted.
After 30 s the status address mode is automatically quit and the
DEFAULT MODE is indicated. The set address is thus accepted.

3.15 Setting the baud rate

The baud rate is selected with the push buttons T2 and T3. This is done
according to the following sequence:

(a) Press push button T3 CHANGE MODE (hold down for 1 to 2 seconds):
The green LED 7 is illuminated (not blinking): the ADDRESS MODE is
active.
(b) Press push button T3 CHANGE MODE again (hold down for 1 to 2
seconds): The green LED 7 is blinking: now, the BAUD RATE MODE is
active.
(c) Select the desired Modbus baud rate pressing push button T2 MODIFY.
(d) The baud rate setting changes each time, push button T2 is pressed.
After the setting 56,400 bit/s (1001), the setting 110 Bit/s (0000) follows
again. If push button T2 MODIFY is held down (approx. 1/3 s), the
incrementation is done automatically. Only the first 4 LEDs count as only
10 baud rate settings are possible.

4.1 Indication during system start-up

When starting the system, the LEDs 0 to 7 will be illuminated. LEDs L1 to L4

are switched off. This signifies that the board is correctly started.
After a short time (approx. 1/4 s), the LED L1 (round red LED) will be illumi-
nated and the LEDs 0 to LED 7 will be switched off one after the other. This
means that the microcontroller is now operating. If LED L1 is switched off
and the LEDs 0 to 7 are still illuminated, then the system is in the reset
status (this situation can also be reproduced by constantly pressing push
button T1).
