General System Description
The HEINZMANN
positioner is used to trigger an actuator, with the setpoint being
externally selected by either an analogue or a PWM input.
The heart of the control unit is a very rapid and highly powerful microprocessor (CPU).
The actual control unit programme – the so-called firmware on which the microprocessor
operates – is permanently stored in a Flash ROM. The application-dependent configuration
is stored in an E
2
PROM.
The actuator is triggered by means of a PWM signal. Both 2-quadrant (electrically single
acting) and 4-quadrant (electrically double acting) actuators can be triggered.
The operating states of the positioner are supplied as analogue and digital output signals.
The positioner communicates with the DcDesk 2000 parameterization and visualization
tool or with a hand programmer across a serial interface.
2.2
Firmware
The control unit software is designed for universal use while providing a high
functionality. Consequently the firmware contains more functions than are required for a
specific application. The customer can configure the input/output assignment of the control
unit and can also activate and parameterize functions.
Each control unit contains a bootloader (
) with which the actual
firmware is loaded to the unit. HEINZMANN normally ships these units with the so-called
HEINZMANN basic software which contains the functionality that is available as
standard.
Customized firmware variants can be created from this basic software on request.
The software version number xx.y.zz or xxxx.yy.zz in the parameter 3842
SoftwareVersion
consists of the following parts:
