when used with MC Microcontroller
RE
Diagnostics, Parameterisation, Process Value Display 95080-B/06.96
Brueninghaus Hydromatik Version 1.6 Preliminary version

The control panel BB-3 is used for communication with a variety

of digital control devices from the Mannesmann Rexroth range.
If the BB-3 unit is connected to such an output device, this will
automatically be recognised and the relevant software in the BB-
3 will start up.

In addition to the general description of the BB-3 hardware in RE

29798, the special functions shown here are available when the
control panel BB-3 is connected to a Brueninghaus Hydromatik
MC microcontroller.

The individual functions are as follows:

● Diagnostics
Display of errors in clear text
● Parameterisation
Input and editing of userspecific values, MC7 and BB-3
e.g. time ramps, pilot currents
● Process value display
Display of actual values, e.g. speeds
● Teach
Store and load edited or
standard parameters

Special features
– User-friendly menu
– Easy input by means of numerical keys with edit functions
– Multi-lingual
– Online editing of parameters (while machine in operation)
– Reset to standard settings (defaults) possible at any time

Ordering code (for BB-3, VT12321 incl. software)

The functions required for a Brueninghaus Hydromatik MC
microcontroller are contained in the BB-3 software under the
following designation:

(VT12321-1X/E- VX.X/X.X/X.X/1.6)
or VT12321-20 VX.X/X.X/X.X/1.6

Description

1. Start-up functions
After switching on the power for the Control panel BB-3 the following functions are
carried out and shown on the display (flow chart Fig. 1, page 10):

1.1 Self-test and baud rate recognition * BB - 3 / BF - 1 *

The BB-3 automatically recognises the rate of data transmission from the MC Ve r s i on :
electronics. During this time the message 'not received' may be briefly displayed. XX XX XX 16
N.B.:
As long as a key* is being activated while switching on, the software version will be
displayed. (*exception: ALT key) * R e x r o t h BB - 3 *
If the BB-3 remote control unintentionally activates the "Test mode" (these displays are V 2 . 0
not shown or described here), this mode can be cleared by pressing and holding down
( RS 4 2 2 / RS 2 3 2 )
the ALT + CLEAR keys simultaneously for a few seconds.

4. Type "potentiometer calibration"

To enter parameter type potentiometer calibration a program routine in the MC electronics is initiated, that reads in the
actual value at an analogue input and displays it on the BB-3 as an input voltage.
The minimum voltage Umin of a particular potentiometer setting is accepted as the 1st parameter by the ENTER command.
With the next setting of the potentiometer the maximum voltage Umax is accepted as the 2nd parameter via ENTER command.
Example:
Parameter 2: Travel lever
Maximum/Minimum setting 2 . Tr ave l lever
Actual voltage M i n i mu m s e t t i n g
Error message 0 . 0 V

Keys: Acceptance of new value

Abort function and return to submenu Select parameter

5. Type "Learning curve"

With this parameter type the MC electronics stores the relationship between two input signals, for example as a characteristic
of the relationship between Diesel engine speed and position of the injection pump in the unloaded condition.
The input values must be changed slowly, e.g. by increasing the engine speed. Press ENTER to confirm completion.
Example:
Parameter 3: Recording of a Learning curve

N.B.: Names may be displayed as well as question marks.
3 : ??????????????

This permits e.g. an optimum control setting to be stored in the BB-3 and if required to be transmitted to another system of the same
type, thus considerably shortening control setting times. Control panel BB-3 can store a max. of 3 parameter sets. The data in the
BB-3 will be retained, even if the BB-3 is separated from the MC.
