Edwards turbo molecular pumps (turbo vacuum pumps) overview, information and definitions

Edwards TIC turbo controller (EXT75DX, EXT255H+EXDC80, EXT255H+EXDC160)

A compact turbo controller with a large clear graphical display, an intuitive user interface and serial communications providing full remote control and data logging functions via a new WindowsTM based PC program.

The controller automatically recognizes and supports one 24 V turbomolecular pump from the EXT range. Cooling and vent valve support is provided directly from the controller. Backing pump control is provided for a compact 24 V diaphragm pump (on 200 W versions only), or where greater pumping speeds are required, mains backing pumps (up to E2M28) may be controlled via an optional relay box. The relay box can also be used to control a mains heater band and backing line isolation valve.

Time delays and normal speed signals may be used to control events such as turbo start and there is a comprehensive selection of protection and safety interlock features.

The TIC turbo controller may be either rack or bench mounted and provides a useful hub for the flexible operation of a wide range of vacuum system configurations.

Features and benefits

Edwards TIC turbo controller
Universal turbo & instrument controller

TIC automatically recognizes and controls one 24 V turbomolecular pump from either the DX or EXDC ranges. The 200 W version provides sufficient power to ensure optimum performance of larger 255 turbos. DX turbos have full serial communication with TIC and may be both configured and report status via TIC.

Edwards TIC turbo controller
Backing pump support

Both mains and 24 V backing pumps may be controlled by TIC. The 200 W version supports the new XDD1 dry diaphragm pump. For larger vacuum systems both the 100 W and 200 W versions may control mains backing pumps, including XDS10 and up to RV12, via the optional relay box.

Edwards TIC turbo controller
Relay options

The optional external relay box enables mains backing pumps to be controlled and also provides interfaces for a turbo heater band, a backing line isolation valve and a logic bypass. All relay boxes include a logic bypass facility for further system integration.

Edwards TIC turbo controller
Simple system configuration

In most instances, TIC systems may be simply and quickly configured using the range of standard cables on offer, there is therefore no need for the customer to prepare loom assemblies or relay boxes and special interfaces.

Edwards TIC turbo controller
Compact instrument

TIC is packaged in a compact case and may be panel or rack (¼ 19" rack 3U) mounted. With the addition of the bezel it becomes an attractive bench-top instrument.

Edwards TIC turbo controller
Clear, easy to use graphical user interface

The large 128 x 64 pixel backlit graphics LCD and mobile phone style menu system simplifies programing and with a choice of summary screens excellent visibility of displayed parameters is assured.

Edwards TIC turbo controller
Universal power supply

TIC will operate from mains supplies with voltages between 90 and 264 V a.c., and frequencies between 47 and 63 Hz. No user intervention being required.

Edwards TIC turbo controller
Serial communications

To enable complete integration into PC and PLC controlled processes, all TIC variants include RS232 and RS485 interfaces as standard.

Edwards TIC turbo controller
WindowsTM PC program.

TIC is supplied with a new WindowsTM PC program which enables full set-up and control from a PC using the RS232 interface.

Edwards TIC turbo controller
Software upgrades

As new compatible products are released, TIC software may be simply upgraded using the special utility supplied with the WindowsTM PC program.

TIC software upgrades will be made available via e-mail and the Internet.

Edwards TIC turbo controller- bench and rack mounting options (1/4 19" 3U sub rack)

Edwards TIC turbo controller - external interfaces

Edwards TIC turbo controller - display interface

TIC software is structured through a series of easily accessible screens, similar to a mobile telephone. TIC automatically recognizes which turbo connected and displays the appropriate information on the default summary screen. Scrolling and selecting accesses the control and set-up menus for that item. Turbo speed is shown as a proportion of full speed by a bar graph. "Norm" indicates that the turbo has reached its Normal Speed, whilst forward or reverse facing chevrons indicate acceleration and deceleration. Two levels of password protection are available, effectively restricting or preventing unauthorized intervention. Pump status is displayed, giving a clear indication of what is currently happening in the vacuum system.

In the event of an error occurring, TIC will display either a WARNING or flash an ALARM. A warning advises of a condition outside normal parameters, requiring no action, but an alarm must be cleared before normal operation may resume The three setpoint relays, which are highlighted when tripped, may be linked to turbo speed.

Edwards TIC turbo controller - backing pump 24 V

(For mains backing pump support, see below.)

200 W turbo supporting TIC variants recognize and control the following:
24 V backing pumps:
XDD1

Relay box (optional)

General description A range of relay boxes has been developed to allow TIC to operate mains backing pumps and accessories.

The mains backing pump relay controls a backing line isolation valve, such that when the backing pump is switched off the isolation valve closes.

The relay box is connected to the TIC via the logic interface connector, which is also provided with a bypass connector for interfacing with OEM equipment.

Edwards TIC turbo controller - WindowsTM PC program

TIC is supplied with a fully functional WindowsTM based PC software, which replicates and adds to the TIC embedded control menus.

The PC software enables TIC systems to be configured, controlled and monitored from a single PC. A useful data logging facility is also included, which saves user selectable parameters to file (in .csv format) for later analysis using suitable software.

TIC system configurations may be created and saved for use at a later date, thus saving programing time. The PC software includes an upgrade utility, which enables the TIC embedded software to be upgraded over the serial link from files supplied electronically.
