Preliminary remarks

Information regarding this operating manualThis operating manual (subsequently referred to as “Manual”) contains important information that must be observed when installing, operating and maintaining the bplogic intelligent pump controller (subsequently referred to as“pump controller”). This operating manual must therefore be read by the electricians and the responsible technical personnel/owner prior to assembly andcommissioning and must always be available at the pump controller’s operating
location.
Illustrations in this operating manual are for basic understanding and may differ
from the actual design.
Complete installation
The pump controller is part of a system to supply machine tools with coolinglubricant. “Complete installation” or “system” designates all of the installations,
machines, sensors, and actuators controlled by the pump controller, as well as
their safety equipment.
The pump controller and the complete installation are considereda functional unit here even if the complete installation is not supplied as standard.

The service access is sealed with a cover during operation. After opening thescrews, two USB connections, one RJ45 Ethernet connection for service purposes and one Micro SD slot are accessible.

1.3

Pump tasks and system integration

Pump tasks
The pump controller co-ordinates pump tasks, e.g. supplying machine tools
with cooling lubricant. The pump controller controls the pumps contained in thecomplete installation, bearing in mind the sensors and actuators that can beconnected to the pump controller. Up to 6 pumps can be connected. The
pumps can be operated individually or together, e.g. to also achieve even balanced utilisation.
The sensors, pumps and remaining actuators can be combined in up to 6 application modules. In this context, “application modules” means basic application
functions (adjustment, control, pressure increase and rinsing applications). The
number, type and scope of the application modules depend on the complete installation’s task and equipment.
System integration
The pump controller controls the pumps contained in the complete installation(generally via frequency converters) depending on the selected application
module and the sensor signals present (e.g. flow rate or pressure).
Information is exchanged between the complete installation (sensors and actuators) and the higher-level controller using different field bus protocols (ethernet
or modbus connection) or in the form of analog and digital signals. A
PROFINET IO field bus can be used additionally on a pump controller with the
PROFINET option.
The pump controller is delivered preconfigured for the complete installation into
which it is integrated. After assembly, you only have to set parameters for functions and settings.

The power supply for the actuators (Fig. 12/6) is separated from the power
supply for the sensors and the logic (Fig. 12/7) by a galvanic separation level(Fig. 12/3). The actuators can therefore be supplied by a separate power supply without impairing the logic or sensors if the required power is higher.


Ensure that the maximum permissible supply currents for the pump controller
and the I/O modules installed on the pump controller are not exceeded.

Fuses that conform with UL must be used to safeguard the sensor power supply.
To safeguard the sensor power supply, use fuses that conform with UL for a
maximum rated current of 4 A with a characteristic that trips in less than 120
seconds in the event of an overcurrent of 6.4 A.

There are no special specifications for selecting the fuses to safeguard the actuator
power supply. The following applies to the actuator power supply:Ensure that the maximum permissible rated current of 14 A is not exceeded.

3.2.10 Automatic and manual mode
3.2.10.1

Automatic mode

In automatic mode, the pump controller is remote controlled by a higher-level
controller (e.g. a machine tool). To do this, the pump controller reports that it isready for operation to the higher-level controller (e.g. a machine tool): Furthermore, the machine tool requests the required application modules and supplies
them with the required target values or other information.
The pump controller evaluates this information and controls the application
modules and pumps automatically in order to perform the provision of the medium required by the higher-level controller.

3.2.10.2

Manual mode

Manual mode enables the operating staff to perform individual operation processes on the touchscreen.
Only use manual mode to try out settings for the parameters and to perform
test runs of individual components.
 As long as manual mode is activated for individual or several pumps or applications, the higher-level controller does not receive a notification that it isready for operation.

Standard mode

Use automatic mode!
Automatic mode is the pump controller’s standard mode.
Only use manual mode for installation, commissioning or troubleshooting.

4 Installing the pump controller

The pump controller (Fig. 14/7) is connected to the machine tool that is to besupplied (Fig. 14/5) via control line 1.
Control line 1 can be designed as a standard signal (Fig. 14/6) or field bus connection (Fig. 14/4) by using digital or analog signals. The higher-level controller(e.g. the machine tool’s controller) works as the master. The higher-level controller transfers its requirements (e.g. pressure increase) to the pump controller.
The pump controller communicates via control line 2 (Fig. 14/8) with the frequency converters for the connected pumps (Fig. 14/9) and exchanges standard signals (0V-10V, 4mA-20 mA (Fig. 14/2) with the connected actuators andsensors (e.g. pressure sensors, valves, Fig. 14/1) via the I/O modules.

5.2.9 Global data
Global data is predefined data with values that you can select freely. You can use
parameter selection to assign the value of an item of global data to a parameter.
This way, you can specify global data as concrete target values in application modules for example.
The global data is primarily intended to be intermediate storage (a marker) for logic
module results. However, field bus information can be stored in global data andprocessed further by the logic module.
You must assign one of the following data types to each piece of global data:
Data type

Description

BOOL

The BOOL data type is a binary signal. A binary signal can only express two states. Global data with the
OOL data type saves the “on” or “off” state. It istherefore suitable for transferring limit switch signals,
e.g. to indicate operational readiness for an application module.

UDINT

Global data with the UDINT data type is suitable forsaving values using analog signals. A piece of global
data with the UDINT data type can contain any whole
number without a mathematical sign and is therefore
suitable for specifying target values.

REAL

Global data with the REAL data type is suitable forsaving values using analog signals. A piece of global
data with the REAL data type can contain any floating-point number and is therefore suitable for specifying target values.

Application modules

The pump controller can execute up to six applications simultaneously. To do this,the pump controller provides up to six application modules in which predefined mainfunctions can be selected and executed. The predefined main functions are designated as primary functions. A primary function can be for example a pressure regulation comprising two pumps.
The primary function assigned can be expanded with secondary functions. Secondary functions are extension functions for an application.
Up to 6 application modules can be active at the same time. One application module is able to control up to 6 pumps.
An application module contains the following components:
Component

Description

Primary function

The main function of the application module, e.g. “Pressure
increase” ( section 5.4 Primary functions on page 100).

Secondary function

A function that is assigned to a primary function, e.g. “Offset
control” ( section 5.5 Secondary functions on page 158).
Secondary functions are optional and are used to expand
primary functions.

Pump

The pump that is controlled with the aid of the application
module. Each pump can be assigned to just one application
module.

As soon as an application module is activated, it executes the corresponding primary and secondary functions in a cycle until it is deactivated.
All application modules can be executed in automatic and manual mode( section 3.2.10 “Automatic and manual mode” on page 38).

5.4.3.4

Parallel mode with redundancy pumps

The pump controller can be used to configure a redundancy pump for adjustmentmode or control mode for a pump group. This option must be pre-configured for theapplication module by the manufacturer.
The pump controller cannot be used to configure a redundancy pump for cascade
mode. However, redundancy is possible if at least one more pump than required forthe conveyance tasks is integrated into the system.
If a pump fails in parallel mode, a redundancy pump of the same type can take overthe functions of the failed pump.
The pump that is used as the redundancy pump is not defined statically.
A redundancy pump is a role that every pump in a pump group gets cyclically assigned by the pump controller to be in stand-by mode. The pump in stand-by mode
acts as spare pump.
As long as at least one of the pumps is functional, the application module remains
active and attempts to complete the conveyance task.
The system owner must ensure that only pumps of the same typeare used in parallel mode with redundancy pumps.
This is the only way to ensure that the pumps will provide therequired performance.

5.4.3.5

Even mode with one pump group

You can set a pump group with a redundancy pump to even mode for adjustmentmode and control mode.
In even mode, the pump controller starts up the last inactive pump after a freelyselectable operating period has elapsed and switches an active pump off at thesame time.
You can set both the length of operating time after which this changeover occurs
and the duration of the transition period during which the last inactive pump is started up and an active pump is shut down.
Using this cyclical pump changeover, even mode ensures that the operating time ofall pumps in the pump group is the same and prevents long idle times, and therefore idle damage to the pumps.

5.4.4 Saw tooth cycle mode
Saw tooth cycle mode is used when pumping unfiltered lubrication back to a filtration system. In saw tooth cycle mode, a pump generates rinsing pulses by pumping
a return tank empty in pulses. This keeps the medium moving in order to prevent
deposits and blockages in the lines due to solids contained in the medium.
The return tank is monitored by fill level sensors during this process. Either one
analog fill level sensor or two digital limit switches can be used to do this. As soon
as the sensors report a sufficient fill level, the pump increases the speed andpumps the return tank empty to generate a rinsing pulse. As soon as the sensors
report a low fill level in the return tank, the pump reduces the speed until the fill level
increases again.
Saw tooth cycle mode can be set by the manufacturer on one of the following twomodes:
Mode

Description

ManualIn manual mode, the application module specifies
constant speeds for the pumps.

Automatic

You can specify a filling time in automatic mode. To
reach this target value, the application module adjusts the speeds for filling the tank continuously.

Saw tooth cycle mode runs through 4 phases:••••

Filling (Fig. 58/1)

5 Operating the pump controller

You can also control the sequence of the phases using 3 timers for which parameters can be set:•••

The “ oost activation” timer runs during the “Emptying” phase. If the pump's
performance is insufficient to lower the return tank’s fill level to below the upper
fill level during the period set for the “ oost activation” timer, the pump controller sets the pump into the “ oost” phase. The pump then works with the speed
set for the “ oost” phase instead of the speed set for the “Emptying” phase.
This prevents the return tank from overflowing.
The “ leep activation” timer runs during the “Filling” phase. If the lower fill levelof the return tank is not exceeded within the set time for the “ leep activation”
timer, the pump controller puts the pump into the "Sleep" phase. The pumpthen works with the speed set for the “ leep” phase instead of the speed set for
the “Filling” phase. This prevents the pump running dry.
The “Overflow warning” timer runs during the “ oost” phase. You can use the“Overflow warning” timer to adjust how long the pump will run in the “ oost”
phase before the pump controller sends a signal to the higher-level controller,
e.g. to a machine tool. The pump controller uses the signal to inform the higherlevel controller that the return tank could overflow.

5.4.6 Logic module
You can use the logic modules to expand the conveyance functions in the otherapplication modules with their own functions and switching tasks. The logic module
can perform functions that would otherwise have to be performed by a separate
PLC.
The logic module can access all parameters contained in the parameter list, including the parameters for the other application modules. For example, a function
whose parameters were set by the logic module can activate a different application
module, change a pump’s speed, or open and close a valve during operation.
The logic module controls functions using its own actions. Some actions are
merged into action blocks. You can configure a total of 6 action blocks with 20 actions each.
An action block cannot be used several times. This means that if you assign all 6
possible action blocks to the same logic module, you cannot assign any action
blocks to any other logic module.
Each action can execute one of 10 possible commands.
All commands with the exception of the “ enerate event” command can trigger an
event message in addition to their other functions. The user defines the content of
this event message.
Command

Description

Copy

The command copies and writes the values from up to 6
source parameters to a corresponding number of target
parameters.
Example:When an application module is activated, the “Copy” command can be used to copy the parameter value that displays
operational readiness of the application module and to write
this to the readiness parameters for other application modules. In this way, several application modules can be activated automatically and simultaneously.

You can select up to 6 source parameters for each action.
All parameters in the parameter list and all of the logic module’s markers can be source parameters.

Target parameters

Target parameters are processed by the “Write”, “Copy”,“Add”, “ ubtract”, “Multiply” and “Divide” commands. The
value of a target parameter is the result of an action.
You can select up to 6 target parameters for each action. All
parameters in the parameter list and all of the logic module’s

Description
Markers

Markers are global data. Logic module actions can saveintermediate results in markers and read them in again.
Depending on the format of the intermediate results, markers are available in the data types BOOL, UDINT and REAL.
Markers help when coupling actions if an upstream action
performs pre-processing for a subsequent function.
Example:Action 1 checks whether there is a start signal on PIN 1 andwhether the pressure is > 10 bar. If the condition that it
checks is true, action writes the value “ ” = “true” on marker 1.
Action 2 is configured so that it checks marker 1 and switches the pump off if marker has the value “ ”.
In this way, the result of an action can trigger or prevent
execution of a further action automatically.

Lead time

A lead time timer can be set for each action. The lead time isused to delay execution of a command. The command is
only executed if a specific condition is met over the entire
duration of the lead time.

Follow-up time

A follow-up time timer can be set for some actions. The
follow-up time is used to delay execution of a command. The
command is only executed if a specific condition is not met
over the entire duration of the follow-up time.

5.4.6.1

Planning the logic module

Parameters are set for the logic module’s actions in the same way as for logic functions and follow an IF-THEN-ELSE structure (Fig. 66). This structure enables you toassign a condition to a command, which must be met for the command to be executed.

5 Operating the pump controller

The explanation of the logic functions should enable you to plan alogic module and to set the parameters as logic functions for all
actions that are required to operate your system.
If you require further support when setting parameters for actions,contact the pump controller’s manufacturer.
A total of 6 application modules can be configured for the pumpcontroller. If the “Logic module” primary function is assigned to all
6 application modules, there is no application module available on
the pump controller to control conveyance tasks.

•

Ensure that enough application modules are configured tocontrol the conveyance tasks in addition to the required logic
modules.

THEN (write THEN value 1
to target parameter 1)
IF (source parameter 1 = IF value 1)
ELSE (write ELSE value 1
to target parameter 1)

Fig. 67: Example of a logic function
In this example (Fig. 67), the IF command uses a comparison to check whether
the value of a source parameter corresponds to the value of a comparison variable (IF value 1).
If the two values compared are the same, the condition is true. In this case, theTHEN command is used to write a command variable (THEN value 1) to a target parameter. This THEN value 1 can cause a valve to be opened for example.
If the two values compared are the not same, the condition is false. In this case,
the ELSE command is used to write a different command variable (ELSE value 1) to the target parameter.
The following terms apply to this:Description
IF value

The IF value is a comparison value. The IF command compares
the IF value to a source parameter in order to check a condition.
You can define up to six different IF values for each action.
Each action can compare up to 6 different source parameters withup to 6 IF values. The number of IF values must correspond to thenumber of source parameters.

Description
THEN value

The THEN value is a value that the THEN command uses to edit
the target parameter if the condition defined for executing a command is true.
The way in which the THEN command edits the THEN value andthe target parameter depends on the command that was executed. If the “Write” command is executed as in the example, theTHEN command writes the THEN value to the target parameter.
You can define up to 6 different THEN values for each action.
Each command can edit up to 6 target parameters with up to 6
different THEN values. The number of THEN values must correspond to the number of target parameters.

ELSE value

The ELSE value is a value that the ELSE command uses to edit
the target parameter if the condition defined for executing a command is false.
The way in which the ELSE command edits the ELSE value andthe target parameter depends on the command that was executed. If the “Write” command is executed as in the example, the
ELSE command writes the ELSE value to the target parameter.
You can define up to 6 different ELSE values for each action.

Description
Comparison(Fig. 68/1)

The comparison is the basis of a condition. In order to check a
condition, the IF command compares the value of a source parameter using an operator with an If value.
One of six possible operators can be used in each comparison:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

14/02/2022

equal (=): The condition is true if the source parameter isequal to the IF value.
not equal (< >): The condition is true if the source parameter
is not equal to the IF value.
greater than (>): The condition is true if the source parameter is greater than the IF value.
greater than or equal to (> =): The condition is true if thesource parameter is greater than or equal to the IF value.
less than (<): The condition is true if the source parameter isless than the IF value.
less than or equal to (< =): The condition is true if thesource parameter is less than or equal to the IF value.
no branching: If you select “no branching”, the condition is
not checked and the THEN command is executed.

5 Operating the pump controller

Description
Link(Fig. 68/2)

A link is used to add further comparisons to the IF command.
The following two links can be used:••

AND: The THEN command is only executed if all of the comparisons linked to the AND link are true.
OR: If one or several of the comparisons linked to the OR link
are true, the THEN command is executed.

Each IF command can contain only AND links or only OR links.
Each IF command can contain up to 5 links. Therefore, up to 6
comparisons can be linked for each action.
All comparisons in an IF command must contain the same operator types. This means that an IF command can contain 4 comparisons with the greater than operator (>) but not 2 comparisons withthe greater than operator (>) and 2 comparisons with the lessthan or equal to (< =) operator.
A source parameter and an IF value must be specified for each of
the up to 6 comparisons.
Example:A possible condition is, for example: IF (source parameter 1 > IFvalue 1 AND source parameter 2 > IF value 2). In this example,
two comparisons are linked with AND. This means that the THEN
command is only executed if both comparisons are true. Source
parameter 1 must therefore be greater than IF value 1 and source
parameter 2 greater than IF value 2.
The same value can be defined for both IF value 1 and IF value 2,
e.g. “ ”.
Lead time(Fig. 68/3)

An optional lead time timer can be set for each action. The leadtime duration can be set individually for each action.
The lead time is used to delay a THEN command. The THEN
command is only executed at the end of the lead time if the condition is true for the entire duration of the lead time. This way,changes to a parameter value during the lead time, e.g. due topressure peaks, can prevent the command being executed.

Description
Follow-up
time(Fig. 68/4)

An optional follow-up time can be set for each action for which an
ELSE function is defined. The follow-up time duration can be set
individually for each action.
The follow-up time is used to delay an ELSE command. If thecondition is false, the ELSE command is executed at the end of
the follow-up time.

Example of a logic function with a lead and run-on time:
THEN (write THEN value 1
to target parameter 1)
Lead time

Example2_IF-THEN-ELSE-01.svg

IF (source parameter 1 = IF value 1
OR source parameter 2 = IF value 2)

Follow-up time
ELSE (write ELSE value 1
to target parameter 1)

Fig. 69: Example of a logic function with a lead and follow-up time
In this example (Fig. 69), the IF command compares two source parameterswith two IF values. As the two conditions are linked with an OR link, only one of
the two comparisons must be met for the condition to be considered true.
If the condition is true, the THEN command is executed and THEN value 1 iswritten to target parameter 1. However, a lead time precedes the THEN command in this example. This means that the THEN command will only be executed if the condition is true for the entire duration of the lead time.
If the condition is false, the ELSE command is executed. A follow-up time precedes the ELSE command in this example. This means that the required ELSE
command is only executed at the end of the run-on time. In this case, ELSE
value 1 is written to target parameter 1 at the end of the run-on time.

User-defined event messages

Event messages are generated if a valid event ID is defined for an action and the IF
command runs.
All commands can trigger event messages.
You can define the contents and properties of these event messages yourself:
•

•
•
•

The type of event message (Fig. 70/4):− Error message− Warning message− Information
The error code (Fig. 70/3)
The error description (Fig. 70/1)

You can create the error description text and the instructions for error correction
freely. The texts are stored in the following text lists:••“tl_customereventdescription.txt”: contains the error description text
“tl_customereventtroubleshooting.txt”: contains the error correction text

You can update both text lists at any time.

You can only assign each error code for each message
type once. This means that you can create a maximum of
20 error messages, 10 warning messages and 10 information messages.

1315 Operating the pump controller

Event ID
Each event message has a six-character event ID. This event ID is used to:•••

Identify the event message uniquely
Assign texts for the error description and error correction to the event message
Assign the event message to a logic module action

Each valid event ID apart from event ID 000000 generates an event message.
Event ID 000000 does not generate an event message. This event ID is used
when setting parameters for actions that are not to trigger an event message.
For user-defined event messages, you must compose the event ID of the group
number and the error code.
••

The group number specifies the first three numbers of the event ID.
The error code specifies the last three numbers of the event ID. You must
add leading zeros to the error code.
Example:The warning message contained in Fig. 70 has group number “” and error
code “ ”. The complete event ID for the warning message is therefore
“
”.
Flags
You can also set a flag for each action. The flag is used as a status indicator: If
a flag is set for an event message, this event message remains active until it isacknowledged (Fig. 71).
If an active event message is present, the “Event list” button is displayed in thestatus bar for each menu. Active event messages are also marked as active inthe “Event list” menu.

Fig. 71: Event message with flag
Event messages for which no flag is set do not have to be acknowledged(Fig. 70). As soon as the cause of the event message has been rectified, these
event messages are closed automatically and marked as inactive in the “Eventlist” menu.
Example:The system displays an error message because it detects a cable break. If noflag is set for this error message, the event message is closed automatically assoon as the system reports that the cable break has been rectified.
If a flag is set for the error message, the event message is displayed until it isacknowledged even if the cable break has already been rectified.

5.5.2 Wear detection
The “Wear detection” secondary function is only available for immersed screw spindle pumps of a suitable design size. You can obtain information regarding which
design sizes are suitable from the pump controller manufacturer.
Wear detection is used to determine the wear condition of immersed screw spindle
pumps and to forecast the development of the wear condition over a predetermined forecast period.
To do this, wear detection measures how quickly the screw spindle pump mustrotate in order to convey medium at a pre-set pressure. Wear detection compares
the measurement result with the results of previous wear measurements and determines whether the pump performance has changed since the last wear measurement.
In this way, wear detection can calculate the number of operating hours for which
the screw spindle pump can remain in use with the same operating conditions before it becomes damaged by wear.
To do this, wear detection must cyclically perform a regular wear measurement
depending on the operating condition of the screw spindle pump. The more demanding the operating conditions, the more frequently measurements have to bemade.

5.5.2.1

All user groups can check that the wear detection parameters are correct. The following user groups can also set the forecast period.

Performing wear measurement
The frequency with which wear measurement must be performed depends on
how frequently and how heavily the screw spindle pump is strained. Perform
wear measurement at least after one third of the forecast period.
Example:If a forecast period is set to 90 days, a wear measurement must be performed
every 30 days if operation remains the same.
Prerequisites••

The application module to which the pump that has to be checked is assigned has been activated.
NOTICE!
False measurement results due to bypass leaks!
Bypass leaks, e.g. due to pressure limitation valves, can falsify
the measurement results. Therefore, wear detection determines
greater wear on the pump than is actually present. As a result, afunctioning pump may be indicated as requiring maintenance orrepair for example.

5.6.6 Using the PROFINET IO field bus or the EtherNet/IP
field bus
PROFINET IO field bus
The pump controller comprises a PROFINET IO Device option.
PROFINET IO is an Ethernet-based field bus to network decentralised automation
components such as sensors, actuators, drives and pumps.

14/02/2022

bplogic intelligent pump controller

211

5 Operating the pump controller

You can use the PROFINET IO field bus to connect the pump controller to a
PROFINET IO field bus system in order to exchange process values with a machine
controller. The pump controller acts as a PROFINET IO device.
EtherNet/IP field bus
The pump controller comprises an EtherNet/IP Adapter option.
EtherNet/IP is an Ethernet-based field bus to transfer process data. You can use
the EtherNet/IP field bus to connect the pump controller to an EtherNet/IP networkin order to exchange process values with a machine controller. The pump controller
acts as an EtherNet/IP adapter.

5.6.6.1

Communication with the machine controller

The pump controller can exchange process values in data containers with the datatypes BOOL, UDINT and REAL with the machine controller. The data containers
are divided into 14 modules. Each of these modules uses one slot on the pumpcontroller.
In order to enable the pump controller and the machine controller to exchange process values with each other, you must transfer the assignments of the modules tothe slots 1:1 to the machine controller. The information required for this is stored in
the pump controller’s device description.
••

If you use a PROFINET field bus, the device description is stored in the“PROFI ET
D” file (general station description) on the pump controller.
If you use an EtherNet/IP field bus, the device description is stored in the“EnipAdapter.ED ” file (electronic data sheet) on the pump controller.

5.6.6.2

Setting the PROFINET IO field bus or the EtherNet/IP field bus parameters

In the 6 submenus below “Field bus – General”, define the parameters for which thepump controller will exchange values with the machine controller. To do this, assign
the required parameters to data containers.
The parameter list marks all parameters that you can select using the 6 submenus.

UDINT mapping PLC →BPLDefines up to 8 parameters for which values are sentin UDINT data containers 1) from the machine controller to the pump controller

REAL mapping PLC →BPLDefines up to 16 parameters for which values aresent in REAL data containers 1) from the machine

BOOL mapping BPL →PLCDefines up to 32 parameters for which values aresent in BOOL data containers 1) from the pump controller to the machine controller

UDINT mapping BPL →PLCDefines up to 8 parameters for which values are sentin UDINT data containers 1) from the pump controller
to the machine controller

REAL mapping BPL →BPLDefines up to 16 parameters for which values aresent in REAL data containers 1) from the pump controller to the machine controller

1) One data container contains one parameter value.

The various data containers are suitable for different signals:••

The BOOL data type is a binary signal. A binary signal can only express twostates, e.g. “on” and “off”, or “present” and “not present”. Data containers with
the BOOL data type are therefore suitable for transferring limit switch signals,
e.g. to indicate operational readiness for an application module.
A data container with the UDINT data type can contain any natural number
without a mathematical sign. Data types with the UDINT data type are therefore
suitable for transferring analog signals, e.g. to specify target values.

14/02/2022

bplogic intelligent pump controller

A data container with the REAL data type can contain any floating-point number. Data containers with the REAL data type are therefore suitable for transferring analog signals, e.g. to specify target values.
