Two Fieldbus connectors (IN and OUT) allow to setup arrays of multiple flow controllers. Therefore, blending
configurations as shown in Figure 6 can be realized.
Figure 6: Flowcontrol array for blending applications with EasyConnect models
2.2.3 System Configurations for OEM Models
The OEM model, with one integrated driver connector only, is designed for compact integration into an
equipment. The flow can precisely be set via an analog input. Various digital inputs and outputs allow
controlling and monitoring of the system. A RS485 (Modbus) enables communication with a user panel or a
PC with the Levitronix®Service Software. Hence parameterization, firmware updates and failure analysis are
possible. The RS485 can also be used as a fieldbus to implement more intelligent concepts of pump control.

3.1 Power Supply and Consumption
3.1.1 Power Consumption

(Typical curves measured with DCP-30.1 pump head.)
3.1.1 Inrush Current
When selecting a AC/DC power supply the inrush currents (currents during power-on) shown in Table 8 shall
be considered. If the specifications of the power supply are unclear a test with multiple power-on cycles is
recommended to assure proper operation.

(Typical values measured with OEM pump driver model at 24 VDC + 10%.)
3.1.2 Evaluation of Power Supplies
If other power supplies than the standard specified ones are used, it is recommended to evaluate them under
demanding operating situations like fast braking from maximum speed and during power on and take-off of the
impeller.
3.2 Temperature Monitoring
To avoid overheating of the system, the controller and motor temperatures within the driver are monitored. If
one of both temperatures exceeds 80°C (176°F) for a period of more than 10 minutes, the system goes into
an error state and the pump stops. At 90°C (194°F), the system stops immediately.
If 65°C is exceeded a warning is given within the driver announcing to the user that the driver is running near
the thermal limit (see explanation in Section 3.3). For the EasyConnect and OEM models the warning signal
can be monitored with the Levitronix®Service Software or configured on one of the digital outputs. For the
Stand-Alone model the temperature can be monitored on the display.

All above presented thermal data are typical values, which are partly based on measurements and partly on
interpolations with a simplified thermal model and are therefore only guideline values and are suitable for a
first layout of the basic thermal concept. It is recommended to check the thermal values with the motor placed
on the final location and under worst case performance conditions of the application.
In order to account for thermal variations (like ambient temperature, closed chemical cabinets or corners
without ventilations) and to not significantly reduce the MTBF of the motor it is recommended to keep about
15°C safety distance to the absolute thermal limit of the driver (80°C) when designing the thermal concept of
the flow control system.
It is recommended to avoid thermal stagnation in the room or cabinet where the driver is placed. Any type of
circulation decreases the driver temperature significantly.

3.4 Hydraulic Circuit Design
Following general design rules help to operate the flow control system optimally considering efficiency,
optimum priming behavior and low shear forces:
1. The general rule for minimum shear forces and optimum priming behavior is to minimize the
pressure drop in the inlet circuit and avoid negative pressure at the inlet of the pump head.
2. Minimize tubing length at the inlet of the pump head and maximize the ID (not smaller than the
pump head inlet ID of 1/4” = 6.5 mm is recommended). This reduces the pressure drop and the
tendency of cavitation.
3. Avoid any restrictions, valves, elbows, bended tubing and sharp edges at the inlet circuit of the
pump head, which potentially cause cavitation resulting in higher shear forces and bubble
collection in the pump head with the danger of priming loss.
4. Place the flow control system at the lowest point of the hydraulic circuit. Optimum is as much as
possible below a tank or reservoir. This optimizes priming behavior and keeps the inlet pressure
positive for low shear forces.
5. Keep the liquid level in the reservoir tank or bag as high as possible, which increases the inlet
pressure of the pump head and minimized heat up of the liquid.
6. When horizontal mounting of the driver the optimum outlet angle of the pump head is 45 degree
(see Figure 26) hence allowing gas bubbles to leave the pump head and keep it primed.
7. To minimize heat up of the liquid the overall pressure drop in the hydraulic circuit shall be reduced
as much as possible.
8. It shall be avoided to pump longer times against a closed valve, which can cause heat-up of the
liquid and higher shear forces.
9. At higher liquid temperature rules mentioned above become more important due to higher
cavitation tendency of the liquid.
Contact the Levitronix®Technical Service department (see Section 8) for more detailed considerations and
support on the design of the hydraulic circuit.

4.1.3 Installation Instructions for Power Supply
!
WARNING
Hazardous voltage may be present.
Always isolate the electrical power supply before making or changing
connections to the unit.
In case of the usage of an inadequate AC/DC power supply, mains
voltages may be present (even if the system is designed for 24 VDC).
The usage of a galvanic separated power supply, which is certified by a
3rd party (UL or CE), is highly recommended.
1. A certified and tested desktop power supply with a specific connector is available as an accessory
(see Table 4), which allows simple direct connection to the driver.
2. For other power supplies an open wire power cable for connection to the driver is specified in
Table 4 (cable type ICP-1.1). Depending on the required hydraulic operational point (see Figure
8), the flow control system requires 24 VDC with a maximum power of 35 W. At a lower
performance power supplies with smaller power or bigger supplies to power several flow control
systems simultaneously may be used. Consult Figure 16to get the power consumption depending
on the flow. If power supplies are used other than the one defined by Levitronix®, it is highly
recommended to test these under dynamic conditions (acceleration and braking of the pump rotor
speed).
3. Make sure that the polarity is correct, and that AC/DC power supply is off.
4.1.4 Installation of Flow Sensor
See Section 4.4.
4.1.5 Installation PLC Interface Signals
To operate the flow control system with a PLC the analog input can be used to set the flow or speed. The
digital output can be used to monitor the pump status and operating parameters (see Table 10).
CAUTION
The analog input is not galvanically isolated from the controller
electronics. To avoid ground loops and malfunctions, use
floating analog signals.
1. Power off the system.
2. A signal cable with driver connector is available to simplify PLC wire connections (see Table 4
cable type ICS-1.3). Connect the designated PLC wires according to Table 10.
3. Follow Figure 20 as reference for hardware configuration of the PLC inputs and outputs.
4. Protect the un-used wires against short-circuit to each other
