Introduction
A5911573 - GB030409 2
1. Introduction
The Fancom IMS is an Intelligent Actuator Module to be used in
combination with a Fancom climate controller in the agricultural sector.
This IMS controls a Fancom actuator. Control is based on the
potentiometer feedback (4K7) of the actuator.
IMS in I/O-Network
An IMS in an I/O-Network has more possibilities. In addition to the
control mentioned above, temperature measurement is also possible.
The Fancom climate controller can use this input.
If I/O-network communication fails, the IMS controls the air inlet position
to the last received setting, based on the IMS temperature
measurement. The Fancom climate controller must communicate this
setting to the IMS. Refer to the description of the Fancom climate
controller concerned.

Mounting and installation
A5911573 - GB030409 7
4. Mounting and installation
Observe the following points when mounting/installing the network module:
Disconnect power before installation
1. Use the cables mentioned in the instruction diagrams and follow all
instructions.
2. Never mount the network module in a place where the weather
has direct influence; not in direct sunlight or in places where the
temperature can rise sharply etc.
3. Never mount the network module in the section itself because of
the (manual) operation.
4. Mount the network module on a flat surface, the gland nuts should
be at the bottom of the module.
5. Mount the network module at a convenient height for manual
operation.

humidity and/or aggressive gases.
Always observe the regulations of the electricity company.

IMS
Possibilities IMS
A5911573 - GB030409 8
5. Possibilities IMS
An IMS controls a 1~ or 3~ Fancom actuator. Control is based on the
potentiometer feedback (4K7) of the actuator.
The required air inlet position is determined by the I/O-net control or a
10-0V (or 0-10V) control signal from a control computer.
If the IMS is controlled via an I/O-Network, the IMS has more
possibilities. The analog input can be used for temperature measurement
and the air inlet position can be read out.
5.1 Pre-defined position / independent control
In certain problem situations the IMS can control the air inlet position
independently. A pre-definable position is settable, the standard factory
setting is 50%. If the IMS controls independently, a “U”appears on the
7-segment display.
No control signal (voltage)
If the control signal fails, the air inlet will open fully (10-0V control
signal) or close fully (0-10V control signal).
No control signal (communication)
If communication with the control computer fails, the following will
happen. If an individual temperature sensor has been connected to the
IMS and the control computer was able to communicate the temperature
setpoint and the control range to the IMS, the IMS will control
independently based on the last received setpoints. If this is not possible,
it will control the air inlet to the pre-defined position.

IMS
Switch
A5911573 - GB030409 9
Attention! Not all control computers can communicate these
settings. Check the manual of the control computer concerned
first.
Power out
If the input of the ‘power fail’ (PF) detection activates, the IMS will
control the air inlet to the pre-defined position - if the correct emergency
power supply has been connected.
6. Switch
The front of the IMS has a 5-position switch. The position of the switch
determines the function of the actuator. (see Figure 1).

7. DIP-switches
DIP-switches 1 thru 5 -type control
DIP-switches 1 thru 5 determine the type of control. If an I/O-net is used
an address between 1 .….31 should be set to identify the IMS to the
connected control computer. If an analog (0-10V or 10-0V) control is
used, the DIP switches should be all be set to ON.
DIP-switch 6 – Temperature sensor readout
If the IMS measures the temperature itself via a sensor connected to the
IMS, DIP-switch 6 should be set to OFF.
8. 7-segment display
The IMS has a 7-segment display (see figure 2).
This indicates the possible program status.

The voltage input can be used as the temperature input if the I/O-net is
used. Place the jumpers JP1 (see figure 2).
To be able to measure the temperature, DIP switch 6 must be set to
‘OFF’ (see figure 2). The connected temperature sensor can now be read
out.
The IMS can also take over control in the event of communication
problems. If the connected computer can communicate the setpoint and
control range to the IMS, these values will be used for further control.
The IMS will continue control based on the last received settings and the
temperature it measured on the connected sensor. If DIP switch 6 is set
to NO measurement or no settings have been communicated, the IMS
will control using the value set as the pre-defined position.
Adjust the IMS according to the procedures described (see chapter 10).

9.2 The IMS as a traditional end station
If the IMS is used as a traditional end station, it is controlled by a
voltage signal.
The voltage input should be used as an analog input. Remove jumpers
JP1 (see figure 2). After these jumpers have been removed, the IMS can
be used for 0-10/10-0Vdc control.
The control signal is on the same connection as any temperature sensor.
In this case, no temperature sensor can be connected. If control is via a
10-0Vdc (or 0-10Vdc) control signal, DIP switches 1..5 must all be set to
ON (see figure 2).
Adjust the IMS according to the procedures described (see chapter 10).

IMS
Adjustment procedure
A5911573 - GB030409 14
10. Adjustment procedure
10.1 General
Before the IMS can be used, the minimum and maximum air inlet
position must be adjusted first and if any emergency power supply is
used also set the pre-defined position. The option on the 7-segment
display is important here.
In order to guarantee accurate control, the air inlet range should be at
least 30% of the total range of the actuator. Preferably use a control
whereby at least 50% of the motor stroke is used. With smaller strokes
it’s advisable to reeve the cables, to increase the range of the motor.

Adjustment procedure
A5911573 - GB030409 15
10.2 Air inlet minimum / maximum
10.2.1 Adjusting air inlet minimum
With 0-10V or 10-0 V control, ensure that the analog output of the
connected outputs 1%. This is unimportant with an I/O-net controlled
system.
Method 1% adjustment
1. Press the BUTTON for about 2 seconds until number “1”appears
on the 7-segment display. The IMS is now in the 1% adjustment
mode.
2. Close the air inlet manually by setting the switch on the IMS to the
CLOSE position. This must happen within 10 minutes, otherwise
calibration will be interrupted and the display ‘cleared’.
3. When the air inlet is fully closed turn the potmeter completely anti-
clockwise using a screwdriver until it cannot be turned any further.
Then turn it a fraction clockwise to get it out of the so-called “dead
band”. The following will appear on the 7-segment display:
Signal too high, turn potmeter further to the left.
Signal too low, turn potmeter further to the right.
Signal O.K., proceed with the next step.
Poss. check: measure the voltage over the clamps at the
(0,1..0,4V)
4. Press the BUTTON to confirm the minimum position; “b”(busy)
will appear on the display. If this does not happen within 10
minutes, the adjustment procedure will be interrupted.
5. When the value for the closed position has been determined, this
will be compared to the value of the open position. For accurate

IMS
Adjustment procedure
A5911573 - GB030409 16
control of the inlet position, the difference must be a minimum of
30% of the range.
As soon as “C” (close) appears on the 7-segment display,
minimum adjustment is successful.
If “E” (error) appears on the 7-segment display this indicates that
the mutual difference is too small. Adjustment was not successful. In
this case, it is usually the maximum air inlet position that is the
problem. This should first be adjusted before the minimum position
is adjusted again.
10.2.2 Adjusting air inlet maximum
With 0-10V or 10-0 V control, ensure that the analog output of the
connected control computer outputs 99%. This is unimportant with an
I/O-net controlled system.
Method 99% adjustment
1. Press the BUTTON for about 2 seconds until “2” appears on the 7-
segment display.
2. The IMS is now in the 99% adjustment mode.
3. Open the air inlet manually by setting the switch on the IMS to the
OPEN position. This must happen within 10 minutes, otherwise
calibration will be interrupted and the display ‘cleared’.
4. Press the BUTTON to confirm the maximum position; “b” (busy)
will appear on the display. If this does not happen within 10
minutes, the adjustment procedure will be interrupted.
5. When the value of the open position has been determined, this will
be compared to the value of the closed position. For accurate
control of the inlet position, the difference must be a minimum of
30% of the range.
6. As soon as “O” (open) appears on the 7-segment display, this
indicates that the maximum adjustment was successful.
If “E” (error) appears on the 7-segment display this indicates that
the mutual difference is too small. Adjustment was not successful.
10.2.3 End of adjustment procedure minimum and/or maximum
Set the switch on the IMS to the AUT position. If the switch is not set to
AUT, the programme will shut down after max. 10 minutes anyway.
