Welcome to our series of PowerCore training videos.
Today's video is called the Application Configuration Menu.
Let's get into the menu and go down and highlight with the down arrow
we'll highlight application configuration. Hit enter.
The first item is the actual application that you have. "Pump All Purpose" is the default.
This gives you all the options in the auto start and throttle methods.
If you choose a specific application, such as center pivot, air compressor,
hose reel, frost protection, any of these, you're limited on your choices.
When we do that, for instance in frost protection, you can't select floats for start/stop because we
just don't use floats in frost protection. So that's the idea behind this this menu.
If you leave it at Pump All-Purpose, you get every option you have,
so that's fine and that's the default.
Auto start function
It defaults to two contact maintain, which are which basically is floats.
You can have a single contact local key start, which are these buttons right here (same as
the buttons that you'd use for manual start). Two Contact Maintained floats , Two Contact Momentary
is where the contacts don't have to be present, just has to be there for a brief amount of time.
Pressure transducer, level transducer and flow transducer.
Modbus auto start/stop override defaults to disabled. If you say enable to that,
that allows a Modbus start independent of the start/stop types you have.
It's kind of a handy feature, so for instance if you had float selected but you wanted to
do a Modbus start independent of that you could do that if you enabled that feature.
Auto Throttle Method: running loaded RPM is the default. Hit enter. You have pressure transducer,
level transducer, flow, and local throttle input, which is the pressure level and flow
where we would maintain a value for throttling between the minimum and maximum rpm set points
and the local throttle input is where we get an analog in that we don't know what it represents
but we throttle between minimum and maximum RPM set points proportional to that analog
but we don't know what it represents we don't we don't care it's just a percentage to us.
Auto Throttle Type: there's non-PID, which is the default,
PID and then linear throttling. Linear throttling gets you where there's no set point to maintain,
such as a level, you can throttle between the min and max pressure or level proportionally between
the two set point with no levels maintained set point. It's used for perhaps smaller sumps
that you don't want to chase the level, you want to have the RPM and the level track together.
Auto Running Loaded Speed: it defaults to 2000 but again you can change that. Keep in mind that
the maximum RPM set point that we covered in a previous video overrides the Auto Running Loaded
speed. So, for instance, if you had a lower maximum RPM than the running
loaded RPM it's only going to go to the maximum, the maximum overrides this.
So, if we go back, I want to cover one thing in this. If you make selections, just like in other
menus, when you make a selection for a feature you may lose or gain more items in the menu.
For instance, if we go to Auto Throttle Type
and select Pressure Transducer, hit enter, then we have more set points,
We have the pressure transducer set point which just appeared because I chose pressure transducer
for a throttle. If you hit enter now you have a maintained pressure set point, a dead band,
pressure type (whether it's discharge or suction), line fill (which is a feature we put in there
when we're filling a line maybe one or two miles long that's got air in it and we want
to hold the RPM down low to allow the water to fill the line up before we actually go up and
throttle the pressure). So, you've got a line fill speed, a line fill delay and a line fill
pressure. So that's one of the states it will go through if you if you select values in there
Alright, I think this concludes the application configuration menu. Thank you.
