Introduction Note most applications it will be preferable not to earth the logic interface power supply common to prevent earth loops inadvertently occurring CAUTION Do not connect voltages greater than 24 V to the logic interface The logic interface provides a number of signals that can be used for monitoring the status of your vacuum system and for controlling certain aspects of its operation These signals can be broadly divided into two groups control inputs and status outputs 3 3 4 2 Using control inputs Control inputs provide a means of controlling the operation of the TIC and the associated vacuum system from external sources Gauge 1 2 3 Enable Pins 9 20 21 The gauge enable inputs can be used to control the operation of the gauges If gauge enable is open the associated gauge cannot be turned on and will turn off if it is operating To enable the gauges connect the required gauge enable line to O V Note Only gauges that can be turned on and off will respond to this input Refer to the gauge manual for further details SYSI The System interlock input can be used to interlock the TIC to a system fail or control signal When SYSI is open all gauges will turn off The TIC will also trip into the fail condition To clear the system interlock and allow the gauges to start connect SYSI to 0 V Dec 05 M n 52 13 a Issue E NOILVTIVLSNI 2 N r gt zi 2
