Control Panel BF-1 RE

Type VT 12 323, Series 2X 29 794/03.95
for Digital Output Devices
Replaces: 07.94

Control panel BF-1 is used for communicating with a variety of

digital output devices, such as valve amplifiers and open and
closed loop axis controls. Communication encompasses setting,
measurement and display of output device dependent
parameters, measurement and display of status and error
messages, fault finding, and storage of sets of parameters in the
control panel. Which of these functions is supported by the BB-
3, depends on the output device (e.g. amplifier VT 12 340 for
proportional valve or NC control unit HNC-200) used.

Features:
– Control panel for various applications
– Automatic recognition of output device
– Communication via serial interface
(RS 485, RS 422 or RS 232)
– Automatic recognition of baud rate (4800, 9600 or 19200)
– Voltage supply to control panel via connection to output
device
– Permanent storage of sets of data independent of supply
voltage
– Membrane keyboard, 24 keys with defined contact points
– 4 line liquid crystal display x 16 characters and
LED background illumination
– Dirt and splash-proof to DIN 40 050 H/A 3600/93

Additional information

The control panel is connected to the device via a suitable At the time of publication of this data sheet, the control panel
connection cable. This cable is not included in the supply and BF-1 supported the following units:
must be selected, to suit the relevent output device family, and – VT 12 340
ordered separately.
– VT 12 350 and VT 12 352
The counter plug suitable to the 15-channel plug, a 15-channel
– VT 5051
socket board HD can be ordered with order designation 021 423.
– VT 15 000
The control panel BF-1 is connected to the voltage supply via this
– VT 13 454
cable, which also forms the interface connection. Having identified
the output device, the control panel displays the relevent start – MHVT 20 006 and MHVT 20 026
message. Further operation is controlled by a set of menus. – VTS 1215
See the relevant output device product description for operation – VTS 0235
and keyboard functions. – MC 6 and MC 7
