Switch On Heating; Soft Start During Heater Operation; Channel Control Via Setpoints - Siemens SIPLUS HCS Series Operating Instructions Manual

Switch on heating

Switch on heating
To control and diagnose the power outputs, the heating must first be activated. This is done
via the cyclic data.
Heating status
On
Off
Time-delayed channel start-up when switching on heating
To reduce the load on the supply system to a minimum, the power outputs are always
switched on in sequence upon start-up. The sequence is as follows:
1
2
3
4
5
Depending on the configuration, the overall startup can take up to 3 seconds.
If channels are switched off during operation (setpoint 0%) and then on again, switch-on
takes place immediately.
9.3.5

Soft start during heater operation

If a channel is switched off during operation (setpoint 0 %) and then on again, this switch-on
can take place via soft start if configured accordingly.
9.3.6

Channel control via setpoints

It is possible to control the channels using only the setpoints in the cyclic data. In this mode,
it is not necessary to combine channels into fields and to assign field setpoints.
The operating mode setting in the cyclic data (production, standby) is not relevant in this
case.
