TROVIS 6400 Automation System

TROVIS 6493 Compact Controller

For panel mounting (front frame 48 x 96 mm/1.89 x 3.78 inch)

Application
Digital controller to automate industrial and process plants for
general and more complex control tasks. Suitable for control
of continuous, on/off or pulsing final control elements (pneu-
matic actuators with i/p positioners, additional electric actua-
tors, electric heating systems, refrigerating machines etc.)

By setting the functions and parameters, the controller can be

adapted to a control task quickly.
The controller settings are saved in a non-volatile memory, ®

even when the power supply fails.

position feedback of an actuator or as an input for differential
control. Both inputs can be configured as: –– 0 to 20 mA, 4 to 20 mA

alarms.
One binary input
One transistor output
The binary input is activated by a voltage signal (4 to
31 V DC) and can be used as follows: The isolated transistor output issues the collective fault alarm.
If an internal fault exists or the configured signal monitoring of

–– Start the set point ramp or output ramp
The supply output can be used to supply a voltage (20 V DC,

Operation (Fig. 3)
The controller is operated using six keys whose functions de-
pend on the selected level. 1

Operating level
After the compact controller is switched on, it runs in automat-
ic mode. The display shows the operating level with the con-
trolled variable and set point readings. The selector key (8)
can be used to switch the reading on the bottom row of the
Xd% 2
display (2): internal set point W or W2, external set point
WE, manipulated variable Y or error signal Xd%. The internal
W
set points W and W2 can be changed by pressing the cursor
keys (4 and 5).

Setup and parameter levels

Press the enter key (7) to access the setup and parameter lev- 3
els. In these levels, the compact controller is adapted to its 8
control task by configuring the functions and setting the pa-
9
rameters. The functions are arranged in hierarchical levels. 4
The cursor keys (4 and 5) are used to navigate to levels, sub- 7
levels, functions and parameters and the enter key (7) to open
them. Changes to settings are confirmed by pressing the enter
5
key (7). The user can return at any time to the next level by 6
pressing the escape key (6). The functions blocks, parameters
and calibration values can be protected by a key code against
unauthorized access.

The TROVIS-VIEW software can be downloaded free of 8 Selector key
charge from our website (u www.samson.de > Services > 9 Infrared interface
Software > TROVIS-VIEW). The software can also be supplied Fig. 3: Operation
on a CD-ROM on request (order no. 6661, configuration ID
2938759). Refer to the Data Sheet u T 6661 for details on
the system requirements.
The compact controller can communicate with a PC over its in-
frared interface on the front of the controller next to the yellow
enter key. An infrared adapter (order no. 8864-0900) is re-
quired for data transmission between the serial RS-232 inter- Bracket
face on the PC and infrared interface on the controller. A (order no. 1400-9769)
bracket (order no. 1400-9769) ensures that the adapter is
properly aligned in front of the controller. The infrared adapt-
er can be connected to the USB port of the computer using the Infrared adapter
USB/RS-232 adapter (order no. 8812-2001). (order no. 8864-0900)
