3 Device description
3.1 General functional description
The PUC 28 is a microprocessor-controlled process monitoring device designed for use in
clean rooms. It has one internal differential pressure sensor and two analogue inputs (0 ... 10
V and 0 (4) ... 20 mA each) for connecting external sensors. One temperature and one
humidity sensor or two additional pressure sensors may be connected to these two ports. The
signal of the internal pressure sensor can be provided by way of the OUT output as a current
or voltage value (0 ... 10 V and 0 (4) ... 20 mA). The pressure which has to be measured has
to be led to the two pressure input ports at the rear side.
The three process values (e.g., pressure, temperature and humidity) are shown on the
integrated display. At the same time, the limits, which can be set as parameters, are monitored
and an acoustic alarm is triggered if a value moves outside its limits. In addition, two relay
contacts (changeover contacts) represent these alarm states (in some variants of the PUC 28
these relay contacts are not present). These contacts may be used, for example, to drive
external signal devices (strobe light or horn) or to feed the alarm signal to a central building
control system. As an option, confirming the alarm by way of the push of a key can be set as a
parameter.
Fig. 1: Block diagram of the PUC 28
The PUC 28 can be supplied with a Profibus DP interface for connection to the central building
control system. In this case, the PUC 28 is integrated into the Profibus as a slave. It is possible
to read all values of the PUC via the Profibus or to use the PUC as a display and an evaluation
device in that the process signals (Pressure/IN 1/IN 2) are not provided by way of the internal
pressure sensor or the analogue inputs but rather via the Profibus.
The parameters of the PUC 28 are set in a menu-driven manner using the four integrated keys
(see section 5 entitled “Setting the parameters”) or using the Profibus.

The PUC 28 has an internal overpressure safeguard that protects the precision pressure
measurement capsule from damage.
Optionally a connection of the PUC 28 via a serial RS232C interface is also possible, this
allows configuring the PUC 28 (alternatively to the configuration with the help of the integrated
keys in the front plate) as well as reading the measured values and triggering certain actions
(e.g. zero-point calibration) with the help of a PC. A PC configuration software also addresses
these functions, which might serve as a remote station to the PUC 28 with RS232 interface.
3.2 Cyclic zero-point calibration
External influences such as temperature, position or ambient pressure can shift the device's
zero point, i.e., the value displayed when the pressure ports are open. Calibration is the
process by which the device automatically registers this shift and figures it into the currently
displayed pressure. During this process, “CALIBRATION” appears in the top line of the
display. Calibration is always performed after power is applied to the PUC 28. As the PUC 28
must frequently adjust to the ambient temperature after power is applied (e.g., a new
installation), calibration is performed every 15 minutes in the following hour. After this, a cyclic
calibration is performed every hour. If the PUC 28 is in the parameter mode, calibration is
postponed until after the parameters are set.
If the PUC 28 has an RS232 or Profibus DP interface, the cyclic calibration can be replaced by
a calibration command as an alternative. This ensures that no measured values are lost during
critical process phases because of a calibration procedure.
3.3 Display of measured values
The display is capable of showing three measured values:
1st line - pressure (measured by the internal pressure sensor)
2nd line - value of the signal present at the input IN1
(dependent on the sensor connected: temperature or pressure)
3rd line - value of the signal present at the input IN2
(dependent on the sensor connected: relative humidity or pressure)
If the signal wanders outside the set limits (alarm), the corresponding line alternates between
displaying the measured value and a blinking arrow. The arrow pointing upward indicates that
the upper limit has been exceeded. An arrow pointing downward indicates that the signal has
dropped below the lower limit.
If the inputs IN1 and/or IN2 are not used, the corresponding lines can be blanked on the
display (see section 5 entitled “Setting the parameters”). The internally measured pressure can
also be blanked. In this case additionally no zero-point calibration takes place.
During the zero-point calibration procedure, the PUC 28 does not react to the press
of a key. In this case, please wait a few seconds until the end of the calibration
procedure (e.g., confirmation of an alarm).

3.5 Manual zero-point calibration
Additionally to the cyclic zero-point calibration (see section 3.2 entitled “Cyclic zero-point
calibration”) the zero-point calibration can also be initiated at any time manually, as long as the
device is in display mode. To start the calibration, press “Enter”. Thereon the question
“Calibrate ?” with the selections “No” and “Yes” appears. By default, “No” is selected. Now with
the keys “Scroll up” or “Scroll right” change to “Yes” and confirm with “Enter”. Then the zero-
point calibration will be started.
3.6 Re-Calibration
The device variant PUC 28/K has an additional pair of pressure input ports available at the
front side, which can be used to re-calibrate the device if required. This function can only be
called out of the main menu, therefore it is password protected (see section 5 entitled “Setting
the parameters”). The positive range (0...100Pa resp. 0...250Pa) and the negative range
(0...-100 Pa resp. 0...-250Pa) might be re-calibrated independently from each other. In case
the positive range shall be re-calibrated, a reference pressure of +100Pa resp. +250Pa has to
be applied from outside; in case the negative range shall be re-calibrated, a reference
pressure of -100Pa resp. -250Pa has to be applied from outside.
