Safety Regulations
The device may only be taken into operation by an electrically skilled person or
instructed persons who are familiar with the valid regulations of operational safety
and accident prevention. Please consider the VDE regulations as well as the local
regulations especially with regard to protective measures.
• Concerning transport, storage and operation, please observe the requirements
according to EN 60068-2-6 (according the technical data).
• Unauthorised alterations will terminate the warranty.
• The device is not suitable for use in hazardous areas and must be built in a fire
protection cabinet / electrical protection cabinet (switch gear cabinet). Dust
and humidity may lead to interferences of function.
• Please care at all outputs at capacitive and inductive loads for a sufficient
suppressor circuit. A missing or damaged suppressor circuit may lead to failure malfunction of the device.
• The device must be built in under special consideration of the required distances according to VDE 0106 part 100.
Intended Use
Within the device combination together with the cascade module TC400-CM and
the ATEX-limiter TC400-LI the temperature monitoring unit TC400-RMR presents
the main unit with four independent temperature channels.
The device combination is assembled by means of the back-mounted bus connecter TC400-BC.
A maximum of 12 pieces TC400-RMR may be connected to the TC400-CM.
The module may only be operated for temperature controlling in connection with
the device group TC400-CM and TC400-LI.
Scope of Supply
The supply contents the controller module TC400-RMR with screw-type terminals
and 2 pieces of 5-pole bus connector TC400-BC.

Identification of Type of Device
The identification plate is at the side of the device. The connected power supply
must be identical with the power supply given on the identification plate.
All necessary adjustments are given in this instruction manual.
Nevertheless, should any difficulties occur during the start-up, we ask you to get
in contact with us. Not allowed manipulation at the device will lead to the expiry of
the warranty claim!
Read this instruction manual before taking the device into operation. Keep the
instruction manual at a place which is at every time accessible for all users.

Assembly
The temperature controller TC400-RMR is built in a 45 mm cabinet. The assembly is executed on a top-hat rail (TS35) 35 x 7.5 mm.
The supplied bus connections will be plugged into each other and will be fixed on
the top-hat rail (nose to the left side). Hereafter the controller can be snapped on.
For the release of the controller draw the fixing strap with a screwdriver downwards and take off upwards the controller and unhook it.
In order to reduce off times when changing the controller, all terminals are designed in a pluggable version (permanent wiring).

Electric Connection
3.1
Installation Instructions
When determining the material for the cables, during the installation, when protecting the device and for the electric connection of the device the regulations of
VDE100 “Regulations for the erection of electrical power installations with nominal
voltages lower 1.000 V” or the respective regulation of the country must be considered.
The electric connection may only be carried out by qualified personnel.
The electromagnetically compatibleness is in accordance with norms and regulations given in the technical data. Protect the device during the installation and
during the operation against electrostatic discharge.
Besides an inaccurate installation also falsely adjusted parameter may affect the
subsequent process in its correct function or may lead to damages. The adjustments should only be possible for qualified personnel (locking parameters for
01/13-4.0-3.1
4
non-operating personnel). In this connection, please consider the appropriate
safety regulations.
Attention! At inappropriate adjustment of the parameter an instable control is
possible. The actual value should therefore be controlled with regard to its stability and knowledge of the controlled system should be collected.
The load circuit must be protected to the maximum relay current to avoid, in case
of a short circuit here, a weld fuse of the contacts.
Separate the device from the supply system when parts may be touched which
are under tension.
3.2
Connection of the Operator’s and Indicator Unit TC400-PA
At the temperature controller TC400-RMR it is possible to connect over a frontsided RJ45-socket (exclusively) the operator’s and Indicator module TC400-PA
by means of a high-quality network data cable, execution at least CAT 5. The
power supply and the data communication for the display is executed by the data
cable. The maximum cable length is 10 m.
3.3
Connection ATEX-Limiter TC400-LI
The temperature controller TC400-RMR provides a digital 24V-input for a serial
communication with the ATEX limiter TC400-LI. The terminal is indicated with
ATX.
Should the ATEX module TC400-LI be feeded with a separate voltage, a 0 V
connection must be produced with the clamp GND. The ATX clamp is decoupled
in high-resistance.
When connecting the limiter, the channel 5 at the indicator module will be activated to display the set und actual value of the limiter.

Extended Description of Functions
6.1
Current Monitoring
In order to use the current monitoring it is necessary to connect a current transformer with output 0-20 mA according to installation instructions.
The input variable of the current transformer as well as the monitored current
input are determined with parameter 321 – 325.
325
The channels which are responsible for the current consumption are indicated
with parameter 223.
223
According to the configuration of the channels (controller/safety controller/limiter),
the controller analyse if a current consumption is to be expected or not.
Hereby it is assumed that a switching off by one or several as safety controller /
limiter configured channels preferentially also leads to a cut-off of the outgoing
circuit.
When using several as controller configured channels a current consumption is
expected until all channels have switched off.

6.2
Group interrupts (Output at Cascade Module TC400-CM)
The group interrupts at the cascade module TC400-CM are configured with the
parameter 511 – 525.
525 Thereby it should be paid attention to the fact that all controllers which are connected to one cascade module are equally configured.
Alarm 1 and 2 are additionally provided at the controller module.
Contrary to the alarm outputs at the cascade module, the alarm outputs at the
controller module will not be cleared with the key „Quit/Reset“ (accepted). Those
will disappear first with the active fault.
A group interrupt at the cascade module can be released (accepted) for other
fault indications with the key „Quit/Reset“ at the controller module which is responsible for the activation. Further faults which will be collected at the activated
controller module, e.g. from other channels, may cause again the release of the
cleared collective alarm.
When the storage of the group interrupt is activated, those alarms will not independently be cleared after correction of the defect, but have to be reset with the
key “Quit/Reset”. Non recorded collective alarms will be reset automatically after
correction of the fault.
6.3
Setpoint Selection
When the standardised signal will be exceeded or fell below, the setpoint of the
upper and lower limit stays active. The appropriate channel will not be disconnected. In this case it is important that the analysis of a fault also will be allocated
to a collective alarm (517
517)
517 and that those will be analysed.
6.4
Parameter 111 "Switching Off Controller Outputs"
When using the parameter „Switching off controller outputs“ (111
111)
111 it should be
paid attention that the function will only be deactivated when controller outputs
are switched on as otherwise controller outputs can not be re-activated with the
key “Quit/Reset”.
6.5
Parametrization
Due to safety and control engineering reasons some combinations of parameter
are not possible. Those are e.g.:
•
External setpoint selections at a channel which is configured as safety controller / limiter.
•
Enabling "Setpoint change" (25
251
251) at a channel which is configured as safety
controller / limiter.
•
Selection of the analog output (222
222)
222 at channels which are configured as
two-step-controller / safety controller / limiter.
