4.34 Pulse always until last valve, Parameter PLC:

The Parameter Pulse always until last valve (PLC) defines, if a running cleaning sequence should always be completed by
running until the last valve even if the differential pressure at the filter falls short of controller setpoint CtL by pulsing the first
valves and the cleaning then actually should stop. The Parameter can be adjusted in the range of 0 - 1 and is 0 by default.
0 = no complete sequence, 1 = always complete sequence. During adjustment the LED CONTROL-Interval 1 lights up. Press
the key ENT to save the adjusted value to memory.

4.35 Number of valve outputs to be pulsed, Parameter Out:

The Parameter Number of valve outputs to be pulsed (Out) defines how many of the valve outputs installed on the CONTROL-
FILTER-SCANNER should be pulsed. For example, the CONTROL-FILTER-SCANNER has 25 valve outputs installed but only
10 valves are connected. Then the Parameter Number of valve outputs to be pulsed (Out) must be set to 10.
The Parameter Number of valve outputs to be pulsed (Out) can be adjusted in the range of 1 – 25 valve outputs and is by
default: the number of the installed valve outputs of the unit e.g.: 12. Press the key ENT to save the adjusted value to memory.

4.36 Number of valve outputs to be pulsed if an expansion unit TFS* is installed, Parameter OuE:
The Parameter OuE defines how many valve outputs of the CONTROL-FILTER-SCANNER and an additional expansion unit
TFS* should be pulsed. For example, the CONTROL-FILTER-SCANNER (Master) has 25 valve outputs installed with 25 valves
connected and the expansion unit TFS* (Slave) has 10 valve outputs installed with 10 valves connected. Then there are 35
valves all in all and the Parameter OuE must be set to 35. In this case the Parameter Out must be set to 25. The Parameter
OuE can be adjusted in the range of 1 – 250 valve outputs and is 1 valve output by default. If there is no expansion unit TFS*
then the Parameter OuE must be adjusted <= the Parameter Out. In this case it is recommended to set OuE to 1 valve output.
Press the key ENT to save the adjusted value to memory.

4.37 Pressure Pulse Sensing, Parameter PPS:

The Parameter Pressure Pulse Sensing (PPS) defines how many mbar differential pressure must be detected by the internal
pressure sensor to be sure that it comes from the pressure cleaning pulse with compressed air. For example, Suppose that the
differential pressure at the filter is 17 mbar and the Parameter PPS is set to 5 mbar. If a valve is pulsed then, compressed air is
flowing through the filter an influences the differential pressure at the filter for the pulse time. This influence will be measured by
the internal pressure sensor and if the influence is less than the adjusted value PPS, an error will be detected and the
corresponding valve number will be stored in a list -> have a look to Parameter “PEr” to watch the list. If the error will be
detected 3 times in a row at the same valve number, then the LED ALARM-p-Air-Error lights up and the relay ALARM (Terminal
6+7) will be activated.
Please do not wonder that the influence of the cleaning pulse can not be seen at the display and on the analogue output. The
reason is, that the display and the analogue output will be hold for approx. 3 s after the cleaning pulse in order to avoid
unwanted effects on the regulation. Even if one can not see any influence at the display, the detection is running in the
background with full sensitivity.

Please notice that sensing will be activated first if the differential pressure at the filter (from the filter process, not from the
cleaning process) is higher than the Parameter PPS + 1 mbar, except if PPS = 0 mbar. For example, Suppose that the
Parameter PPS is adjusted to 2 mbar, then the sensing begins if the differential pressure at the filter is higher than 3 mbar. The
reason is, that the unit detects positive and negative influences induced by the pressure cleaning pulse with compressed air
and if the differential pressure at the filter is lower than the Parameter PPS then the unit can not detect a negative influence
because a measurement below 0 mbar is not possible. This prevents error detection if there is no error.
