7 Establishing the connection

General
Data transfer of ECOM communication takes place via ‘Logical The connection of the serial interface of the electronic unit is
HART®’. For this communication, the HART® protocol of the located on the commissioning and service field (ISF).
HART® FSK Communication is used. However, communication
takes place via a direct wire connection with the device. Thus,
communication is only ever possible with one device.

Note
To ensure reliable communication, the function of the FIFO
buffer in the ‘interface’ settings within the ‘control panel’ as well
as any ‘power management’ that may be present must be
deactivated.

Note 1
The RS232 communication cable provides a conductive ground
connection between the computer and the Contrac electronic
unit. If the PC is grounded, a ground loop may form in the
system.

Connection to the CONTRAC power electronic unit is made using

Connection via USB interface

The following figure shows the design of the connection cable.
If the USB interface of the computer is to be used for the
connection to the electronic unit, an additional commercially

Before the start, the other programs must be completely ended,
since data conflicts will otherwise occur within the PC.

9 Electronic unit without actuator

To write data to replacement devices, it may be necessary to
operate the electronic unit without the associated actuator.
Supplying the electronic unit with power is sufficient to read and
write data. An actuator does not have to be connected. The
device monitoring in the Contrac electronic unit detects that the
actuator is not connected and switches to ‘error’.
Communication remains possible.

If the electronic unit is then installed on an operational actuator,

the error will be reset once the supply voltage has been M10671

damage.
No changes must have been made to the actuator or to the
valve in between times.

If the actuator is operated without new adjustment, an

additional position error of approx. 1 to 2 % can occur due to
hardware tolerances in the electronic unit. In control mode, the
additional deviation is compensated for by the superimposed
controller. For operation in the end positions, however, a precise
function check is required, and possibly readjustment.
