4Parameters 1
On this page the settings are made that define the operating characteristics of the EGS(H)41. You are
able to define the switch-off speeds as well as possible additional speed-dependent functions.
A fundamental condition that applies to all switching speed inputs is that they must be within the de-
vice-specific switching range of 0.5-5400 rpm.
An input value “0”in the field nov_off disables the corresponding switch.
An input value “0”in the field nu-on disabled the underspeed (see chapter 4.2, 4.3).
The speed-dependent functions are displayed in a schematic graphic at the top of the page.
The input fields for entering switching thresholds are displayed in the lower part of the page in table
form. One line is allocated to a respective switch (S1R to S2L).
The columns are allocated to the respective switching thresholds for the speeds nu_on to nov_off and
switch delay.
Depending on the activation boxes selected only those lines and columns are displayed that are rele-
vant to the respective function.
The switches listed in the lines are allocated
as follows
The values listed in the columns are allocated
as follows
S1R:
Switching speeds of switch 1 with
clockwise direction of rotation
nu_off
Switch-off speed for underspeed
detection
S2R:
Switching speeds of switch 2 with
clockwise direction of rotation
nu_on
Switch-on speed for underspeed
detection
S1L:
Switching speeds of switch 1 with
anti-clockwise direction of rotation
nov_off
Switch-off speed for overspeed de-
tection
S2L:
Switching speeds of switch 2 with
anti-clockwise direction of rotation
nov_on
Switch-on speed for overspeed de-
tection
Delay
Delay time applied to triggered
switch-off in ms
Switching range 0,5 … 5400 rpm

Configuration manual EGS(H)41
16
CAUTION!
When switch delay is activated the actual switch-off speed is higher than the set switch-
off speed!
Observe also information on determining the switching deviation described in the Operat-
ing and Assembly instruction EGS(H)41!
After making changes to the switching speed settings click the 'Check input' button to check the new
settings do not violate restrictions.
Restrictions:
nov_on < 0,9 * nov_off
nu_on < 0,9 * nov_on
nov_off < 0,9 * nu_on (or nu_off = nu_on = 0)
0.5 ° < slip angle ≤90°

Once the check has been completed successfully the data is stored to a temporary memory in the
connected device. Flawed entries are highlighted red and data transmission to the device is prevent-
ed.
To indicate that the data has not yet been accepted on a permanent basis the entry and display areas
are each displayed with a red frame.
To begin the process of accepting the changes permanently click the button 'Store data in device'.

Configuration manual EGS(H)41
17
You will again be required by a security prompt to verify and confirm your changes.
Click the 'Confirm' button to confirm the changes you have undertaken and store these permanently in
the connected device.
To reject the changes click the 'Reject' button.
The data in the temporary memory will be deleted.
PLEASE NOTE!
Before the settings can be accepted and used by the EGS(H)41 they must be saved to
the device; to do so click the 'Save data in device' button then click the 'Confirm' button in
the 'Confirm data' dialog box.
The respective activation check boxes are in the Overspeed switch configuration dialogue box on the
right of the page.
As there are no restrictions to observe the settings are transmitted immediately to the temporary
memory in the connected device.
For information on the activation boxes please refer to the chapters 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4 and 4.5.

Configuration manual EGS(H)41

4.1 Inverse rotation evaluation
Clockwise rotation for the switches S1R and S2R is defined as anti-clockwise rotation when viewing
the end of the shaft of the EGS(H)41. When inverse rotation evaluation is activated the allocations for
S1R and S1L are inverted.
4.2 Underspeed
Underspeed is detected. Below the speed nu_off the respective switch is open (off). The switch is
closed again when the speed exceeds nu_on. The input columns for 'nu_on' and 'nu_off' are displayed
if underspeed detection is activated.
4.3 Rotation-direction dependent switching
The switching speeds S1R and S2R apply to clockwise direction of rotation. The speeds S1L and S2L
apply to anti-clockwise direction of rotation.
The input lines for S1L and S2L are displayed if rotation direction dependent switching is activated.
If 'Rotation direction dependent switching' is not activated the switches S1 and S2 are not labelled with
a rotation indicator R or L. The switching speeds entered apply independent of the direction of rota-
tion.
4.4 Switch delay
The adjustable switch delay facility suppresses the switch-off function if the maximum speed is ex-
ceeded only briefly. That can be appropriate for example during load shedding. When the speeds
nov_off are exceeded the switches S1 and S2 are opened only after the delay time set in the 'Delay'
field has elapsed. The delay time can be set between 0 and 300 ms. The switch-off function is not
triggered if the speed again falls below the nov_off value within the set delay time.
PLEASE NOTE!
The delay time applies only to the switch-off function when the defined nov_off speed is
exceeded. All other switching operations are triggered immediately.
4.5 Slip detection
It is important in some applications to be able to detect if the system is standing precisely still or if it is
turning at a crawling speed. The rotary speed monitoring function is unable to detect speeds below
0.25 rpm.
When slip detection is activated the selected switch opens when the drive is stationary (at a standstill).
The switch is closed again if the shaft of the basic unit turns more than the set
slip angle ( ±1° … ±90°), independent of the speed. It is not possible to combine slip angle detection
and underspeed switch-off within a single switching channel.

Configuration manual EGS(H)41
19
5Parameters 2
On this page the settings are made that define the safety-relevant characteristics of theEGS(H)41.
5.1 Broken wire detection
Broken wire detection is available for the switching outputs S1 and S2. Detection is triggered as soon
as the internal load current monitoring measures less than 5 mA when a switch is closed.
PLEASE NOTE!
This detection cannot function if there are opened contacts in the safety circuit in series to
the switch output.
5.2 Delayed overcurrent switch-off
A switching load with high initial current requirements can trigger an undesired over-current switch-off.
It is possible to delay this overcurrent detection 1 ms, 2 ms or 5 ms.
5.3 Identification and password
In the middle section, you can give the device any user device name. This makes it easier to allocate
EGS(H) 41 to its place of installation (e.g. “hoist 22”). The device name is limited to 12 characters.
Furthermore, in the second line of the middle section, you can define a new password for access to
the configuration. With this password, only an authorized group of users will be able to change the
configuration. To verify your authorization, enter the current password in the left box and the new
password in the right box.
Press “change”to activate the new password in the device.
The password must be created from the alphanumeric characters a-z, A-Z and 1-9. The maximum
length of the password is limited to 12 characters.

Configuration manual EGS(H)41
20
PLEASE NOTE
The password on delivery of EGS(H) 41 is “huebner”.
Please note that you must enter a new password to protect the configuration from unau-
thorized changes!
When the factory-set password is changed the padlock symbol at the top of the screen is displayed
closed.
To save changes permanently to the device click the 'Save data to device' button.
If an assigned user password has been lost, see chapter 9.1
5.4 Delete errors
It is possible to delete displayed error messages in the safety settings section. This also resets the
connected device.
If the cause of the error has not been rectified the internal diagnostics displays the error message
again after the connected device is reset.
Load factory settings:
All settings made in the device are returned to the original factory settings.
CAUTION!
Loading the factory defaults irrevocably overwrites all configuration settings, including the
safety settings!
5.5 Switching contact test
You can test the function of the switching outputs in the connected device in the bottom section.
Set the corresponding outputs directly using the buttons allocated to switching outputs S1, S2 and the
diagnosis output Diag.
Press “Reset test”to deactivate the test settings.
You can only carry out the test functions when the device is at a standstill!
