Safety and warning notes
RES-409 Page 3
1 Safety and warning notes
This RESISTRON temperature controller is
manufactured according to DIN EN 61010-1. In the
course of its manufacture it passed through quality
assurance, whereby it was subjected to extensive
inspections and tests.
It left the factory in perfect condition.
The recommendations and warning notes contained in
these operating instructions must be complied with, in
order to guarantee safe operation.
The device can be operated within the limits indicated
in the "Technical Data" without impairing its operational
safety. Installation and maintenance may only be
performed by technically trained, skilled persons who
are familiar with the associated risks and warranty
provisions.
1.1 Use
RESISTRON temperature controllers may only be used
for heating and temperature control of heatsealing
bands which are expressly suitable for them, and
providing the regulations, notes and warnings
contained in these instructions are complied with.
In case of non-compliance or use contrary to
the intended purpose, there is a risk that
safety will be impaired or that the heatsealing band,
electrical wiring, transformer etc. will overheat.
Ensuring such compliance is the personal
responsibility of the user.
1.2 Heatsealing band
A basic prerequisite for reliable and safe operation of
the system is the use of suitable heatsealing bands.
The resistance of the heatsealing band which
is used must have a positive minimum
temperature coefficient in order to guarantee
trouble-free operation of the RESISTRON
temperature controller.
The temperature coefficient must be specified as
follows:
e.g. Alloy-20: TCR = 1100 ppm/K
NOREX: TCR = 3500 ppm/K
The RESISTRON temperature controller must be set
and coded according to the temperature coefficient of
the heatsealing band.
The use of incorrect alloys with a too low
temperature coefficient and incorrect coding
of the RESISTRON temperature controller lead to
uncontrolled heating and ultimately to burn-out of
the heatsealing band!
The heatsealing bands that were originally supplied
must be identified by detail specification, part number
or some other means that will assure that replacement
bands are identical.
1.3 Impulse transformer
A suitable impulse transformer is necessary to ensure
that the control loop functions perfectly. This
transformer must be designed according to VDE 0570/
EN 61558 (isolating transformer with reinforced
insulation) and have a one section bobbin. When the
impulse transformer is installed, suitable shock
protection must be provided in accordance with the
national installation regulations for electrical
equipment. In addition, water, cleaning solutions and
conductive fluids must be prevented from seeping into
the transformer.
Incorrect installation of the impulse
transformer impairs electrical safety.
1.4 Current transformer PEX-W2/-W3
The current transformer supplied with the RESISTRON
temperature controller is an integral part of the control
system.
Only the original ROPEX PEX-W2 or PEX-W3
current transformer may be used. Other
transformers may cause the equipment to
malfunction.
The current transformer may only be operated if it is
connected to the RESISTRON temperature controller
correctly (see section 9, "Startup and operation"). The
relevant safety instructions contained in section 8.3,
"Power supply", must be obeyed. External monitoring
modules can be used in order to additionally increase

operating safety. They are not included in the scope of
supply of the standard control system and are
described in a separate document.
1.5 Line filter
The use of an original ROPEX line filter is mandatory in
order to comply with the standards and provisions
mentioned in section 1.7 "Standards / CE marking" on
page 4. This device must be installed and connected
according to the instructions contained in section 8.3,
"Power supply" as well as the separate documentation
enclosed with the line filter.
1.6 Warranty provisions
The statutory provisions for warranties apply for a
period of 12 months following the delivery date.
All devices are tested and calibrated in the factory.
Devices that have been damaged due to faulty
connections, dropping, electrical overloading, natural
wear, incorrect or negligent handling, chemical
influences or mechanical overloading as well as
devices that have been modified, relabeled or
otherwise altered by the customer, for example in an
attempt to repair them or install additional components,
are excluded from the warranty.
Warranty claims must be examined in the factory and
approved by ROPEX.
1.7 Standards / CE marking
The controller described here complies with the
following standards, provisions and directives:
Compliance with these standards and provisions is only
guaranteed if original accessories and/or peripheral
components approved by ROPEX are used. If not, then
the equipment is operated on the user's own
responsibility.
The CE marking on the controller confirms that the
device itself complies with the above-mentioned
standards.
It does not imply, however, that the overall system also
fulfils these standards.
It is the responsibility of the machine manufacturer and
of the user to verify the completely installed, wired and
operationally ready system in the machine with regard
to its conformity with the safety provisions and the EMC
directive (see also section 8.3, "Power supply"). If
peripheral components (e.g. the transformer or the line
filter) from other manufacturers are used, no functional
guarantee can be provided by ROPEX.
2 Application
This RESISTRON temperature controller is an integral
part of the "Series 400", the outstanding feature of
which is its microprocessor technology. All
RESISTRON temperature controllers are used to
control the temperature of heating elements
(heatsealing bands, beaded bands, cutting wires,
heatsealing blades, solder elements etc.), as required
in a variety of heatsealing processes.
The controller is most commonly used for impulse-
heatsealing PE films in:
• Vertical and horizontal f/f/s machines
• Pouch, filling and sealing machines
• Film wrapping machines
• Pouch-making machines
• Group packaging machines
•etc.

Principle of operation
RES-409 Page 5
The use of RESISTRON temperature controllers
results in:
• Repeatable quality of the heatseals under any
conditions
• Increased machine capacity
• Extended life of the heatsealing bands and teflon
coatings
• Simple operation and control of the sealing process
3 Principle of operation
The resistance of the heatsealing band, which is
temperature-sensitive, is monitored 50x per second
(60x at 60Hz) by measuring the current and voltage.
The temperature calculated with the help of these
measurements is displayed and compared with the set
point.
The primary voltage of the impulse transformer is
adjusted by phase-angle control, if the measured
values deviate from the set point. The resulting change
in the current through the heatsealing band leads to a
change in the band temperature and thus also its
resistance. This change is measured and evaluated by
the RESISTRON temperature controller.
The control loop is closed: ACTUAL temperature = SET
temperature. Even minute thermal loads on the
heatsealing band are detected and can be corrected
quickly and precisely.
A highly high response thermo-electric control loop is
formed which is highly accurate because purely
electrical variables are measured at a high sampling
rate. A high secondary current can be controlled
because power is controlled on the primary side of the
transformer. This allows optimum adaptation to the
load and to the required dynamic range despite the
exceptionally compact dimensions of the controller.
PLEASE NOTE!
RESISTRON temperature controllers play a significant
role in enhancing the performance of modern
machines. However, the full benefit can only be
obtained from the advanced technology offered by this
control system if all the system components, in other
words the heatsealing band, the impulse transformer,
the wiring, the timing signals and the controller itself,
are carefully compatible and interrelated.
We will be pleased to
contribute our many
years of experience
towards optimizing your
heatsealing system.

Description of the controller
Page 6 RES-409
4 Description of the controller
The microprocessor technology endows the
RESISTRON temperature controller RES-409 with
previously unattainable capabilities:
• Very simple operation thanks to AUTOCAL, the
automatic zero calibration function.
• Good dynamic response of the control system
thanks to AUTOTUNE, which adapts automatically
to the controlled system.
• High precision thanks to further improved control
accuracy and linearization of the heatsealing band
characteristic.
• High flexibility: The AUTORANGE function (as of
February 2006) covers a secondary voltage range
from 0.4V to 120V and a current range from 30A to
500A.
• Automatic adjustment to the line frequency in the
range from 47Hz to 63Hz.
• Increased protection against dangerous conditions,
such as overheating of the heatsealing band.
The RESISTRON temperature controller RES-409 is
equipped with a CAN-Bus interface type CAN 2.0A
according ISO 11898 (Remark: CANopen is not
supported). This interface can be used to control all the
controller functions and interrogate controller
information.
The ACTUAL temperature of the heatsealing band is
supplied to the CAN-Bus interface and to an analog
0 to 10VDC output. The real heatsealing band
temperature can thus be displayed on an external
temperature meter (e.g. ATR-x).
The RES-409 features an integrated fault diagnosis
function, which tests both the external system
(heatsealing band, wiring etc.) and the internal
electronics and outputs a selective error message in
case of a fault.
To increase operational safety and interference
immunity, all CAN-Bus signals are electrically isolated
from the controller and the heating circuit.
Either coding switches on the temperature controller
itself or the CAN-Bus interface can be used to adapt to
different heatsealing band alloys (Alloy-20, NOREX
etc.) and set to the required temperature range
(0…300°C, 0…500°C etc.).
The compact design of the RESISTRON temperature
controller RES-409 and the plug-in connections make
this controller easy to install.
5 Accessories and modifications

(ROPEX Application Report).
Guide values:
Primary circuit: min. 1.5mm², max. 2.5mm²
Secondary circuit: min. 4.0mm², max. 25mm²
These wires must always be twisted (>20/m)
These wires must be twisted (>20/m) if several control
loops are laid together ("crosstalk").
Twisting (>20/m) is recommended to improve EMC.

8.4 Line filter
To comply with EMC directives – corresponding to
EN 50081-1 and EN 50082-2 – RESISTRON control
loops must be operated with line filters.
These filters damp the reaction of the phase-angle con-
trol on the line and protect the controller against line
disturbances.
The use of a suitable line filter is part of the
standards conformity and a prerequisite of
the CE mark.
ROPEX line filters are specially optimized for use in
RESISTRON control loops. Providing that they are
installed and wired correctly, they guarantee comp-
liance with the EMC limit values.
You can find the exact specification of the line filter in
the ROPEX Application Report calculated for your par-
ticular heatsealing application.
For more technical information: "Line filter" docu-
mentation.
It is permissible to supply several
RESISTRON control loops with a single line
filter, providing the total current does not exceed
the maximum current of the filter.
The wiring instructions contained in section 8.3 "Power
supply" on page 13 must be observed.
8.5 Current transformer PEX-W3
The PEX-W3 current transformer supplied with the
RESISTRON temperature controller is an integral part
of the control system. The current transformer may only
be operated if it is connected to the temperature con-
troller correctly (section 8.3 "Power supply" on
page 13).

jumpers.
9.2.1 Configuration of the DIP switches
for secondary voltage and current
Automatic configuration (AUTORANGE)
(controllers manufactured as of February 2007)
The secondary voltage and current ranges are
automatically configured by the automatic calibration
function (AUTOCAL). The voltage is configured in the
range from 0.4VAC to 120VAC and the current in the
range from 30A to 500A. If the voltage and/or current
are outside the permissible range, a detailed error
message appears on the controller (see
section 10.16 "Error messages" on page 45).
Configuration with DIP switches
(controllers manufactured up to January 2007)
Set the DIP switches for matching the secondary
voltage U2and the secondary current I2to the correct
position for your application.
You can find the exact configuration of the
DIP switches in the ROPEX Application
Report calculated for your particular application.
If the secondary current I2is less than 30A, the
PEX-W2 or PEX-W3 current transformer must have
two turns (ROPEX Application Report).

9.2.2 Configuration of the rotary coding
switch for the temperature range
and alloy (as of January 2007)
This configuration is provided as standard
on all controllers manufactured as of
February 2007. On older controllers, the
configuration must be set via the CAN interface
(section 10.3 "Receiving CAN messages" on
page 27).
All controllers manufactured as of February
2007:
The settings with the rotary coding switch are
considered to be the factory setting. This
corresponds to CAN message address 8, value 10
(dec) (section 10.3 "Receiving CAN messages"
on page 27).
If the switch is set to "9" (as of February 2007), other
temperature ranges and alloys can be selected in the
ROPEX visualization software (see section 10.12
"Diagnostic interface / visualization software (as of Feb-
ruary 2007)" on page 43). CAN message address 8
must contain the value 10 (dec) for this purpose (see
section 10.3 "Receiving CAN messages" on page 27).
9.2.3 Configuration of the fault relay
If the jumper is not inserted, the fault relay is
permanently energized (fault contact
between terminals 13 and 14 closed). The other
controller functions (e.g. heatsealing band heating,
AUTOCAL etc.) are not affected.
If the "Fault output deenergized at fault/PC CONFIGU-
RATION" position is selected (as of February 2007),
the behavior of the fault output can be configured more
finely in the ROPEX visualization software (see
section 10.12 "Diagnostic interface / visualization soft-
ware (as of February 2007)" on page 43).
