The valves / drives are in normal automatic mode. For operation in manual
mode, proceed as follows:
• For manual operation, touch the desired valve or drive on the the touchscreen
and a pop-up window opens (the user name and the password must be en-
tered).
• By touching the "Man" button, the manual mode is activated and the state of
the valve/drive remains unchanged (i.e. an open valve remains open).
• Touching the "Man" button again toggles the state (i.e. an open valve will
close).
• Touching the "auto" activates the automatic mode. In the automatic mode, the
valve/drive takes on the state from the automatic program.
• The current state is indicated by the button "Man" or "Auto" as well as by the
icon above "ESC".
• After expiry of a delay time (see below the Manual/Auto field), the valve/drive
must show the correct state, otherwise a fault message appears.
• Switching between the following valve descriptions can be done in the field
next to the valve:
– NC (normally closed) means normally closed.
– NO (normally open) means normally open.
Note:
After manual operation of a valve / drive, ensure that the valve / drive is set back
to automatic mode again.

Incorrect values will result in an incorrect display.
Limit Two limits can be defined in the control system. They cause
an error message.

Unit The unit can be edited.
Delay This time delays the min./ma. limit errors.
PID tag num- This number stands for the analog value and corresponds
ber to its number in the PID. This text can be edited.
Analog no. Down on the left in the window. It is a consecutive number
of the analog value.
Bowl speed
The min. limit corresponds to the minimum speed:
When the separator has been started up and the bowl speed falls below this
limit, the feed is closed and the program product, water, or CIP is deactivated. A
“speed MIN” alarm (SAL) is issued. Adjust it about 5 % below the nominal bowl
speed. The nominal bowl speed is listed in the technical data.
The max. limit corresponds to the maximum speed:
It is only active on drives with a frequency converter. Do not change it unless
this was authorised by Westfalia !
The "Analog ON" values are usually irrelevant for the bowl speed, since these
values are read in via a frequency input (see the "Parameters" chapter).
Motor current
In order to be able to display the start-up current, the transformer of the motor
control system must rated for the double nominal motor current.
Set the maximum current that is supplied by the current converter that is
integrated in the motor control system (example: a current converter supplies
0-60 / 0-1 A, the setting for "Analog max." is 60.0 A).

y Control value display
Numerically and graphically as bars (0 – 100%). The control
value indicates the actual valve position regardless of whether
it is a "normally open" or a "normally closed" valve:
• 0% = closed
• 100% = open
Manual OFF (automatic mode)
Parameter Meaning
Setpoints In accordance with the separator status, one setpoint is
always selected and displayed as “w” on the controller dis-
play. Enter the corresponding values here.
Normal • Production
Throttling • To reduce the feed rate, e.g. during a partial ejection.
CIP • For the CIP program.
Blocking Overrun blocking.
Blocking means that the control value of the controller will
be blocked in its position at the beginning of the blocking
condition (e.g. partial ejection).
The parameter "Blocking" indicates the time in seconds
during which the controller output remains in this fixed posi-
tion after the end of the blocking condition. When the con-
troller blocks, a black circle flashes next to the text "Block.".
Preset time This value does not characterise a controller parameter, but
an additional function. All of the controller output positions
will be saved for the setpoint that is set.
In the event of an extensive setpoint change or when the
controller is switched on, the system automatically jumps to
the control value for the "preset time" if the corresponding
setpoint has been saved. Then, the controller continues
automatically.
Set the preset time so that the actual value can reach the
corresponding setpoint during this time. The function en-
ables the controller to react very quickly, since the control
value changes sharply.
If this function is not desired, it can be deactivated by set-
ting it to "0 s".
A black circle flashes next to the text "Preset time" while the
preset time is on.
Kp Proportional coefficient (P portion of controller).
This value indicates the constant variable with which the
controller reacts upon a controller difference and changes
the control variable accordingly. A high proportional coeffi-
cient Kp makes the controller faster.
The direction of the control action can be inverted
(field a / -1)
Parameters Meaning
Tn Readjustment time (I portion of controller).
This value describes the speed at which the control value
changes when a control difference occurs. This speed is
proportional to the control difference. A longer readjust-
ment time Tn makes the controller slower.
NC/NO Normally closed: The control valve is closed at an output
current of 4 mA.
Normally open: The control valve is open at an output
current of 4 mA.

The cream controller acts as a flow controller or as a fat controller. The fat con-
trol is very slow in the event of a setpoint change, which is due to the long reac-
tion times of the separator. In order to achieve a shorter reaction time in the
event of a setpoint change or when the standardisation is started, the controller
acts as a flow controller at the beginning.
Editing is performed as described in chapter 3.1.4 "Editing text/numerical val-
ues/fields".

Parameter Meaning
Delta cream Difference between the old and the new setpoint. If the actual
value is above or below this value and if the controller is in the
fat control mode, it switches over to the flow controller mode for
the time T81.
Control va-
lues
CIP Fixed controller value during the cleaning process (CIP).
Overflow Fixed controller value during the overflow.
Prod. Fixed controller value during the production without activation of
the cream standardisation (milk cleaning).

4 Maintenance
Make sure that only properly qualified personnel are entrusted with maintaining
the unit. This is the case with the service personnel of Westfalia Separator or
personnel trained by Westfalia Separator.
An inadequately maintained/installed machine presents a high safety risk for the
operating personnel.

Display Meaning
SF (red) Centralised alarm.
This LED goes on in the event of:
• Hardware errors
• Firmware errors
• Programming errors
• Parameterisation errors
• Computing errors
• Timing errors
• Periphery errors concerning internal periphery functions
Display Meaning
RUN (green) Operating status RUN of the control unit CPU.
• This LED lights up when the control unit is processing the
user program.
• This LED flashes (2 Hz) during the control unit start-up
(in addition the STOP display lights up; when the STOP
display goes out, the outputs are released).
STOP (yellow) Operating state STOP of the control unit CPU.
The LED:
• lights up when the control unit is not processing a user
program.
• flashes slowly when the control unit requests a memory
reset,
• flashes rapidly when the control unit performs a memory
reset.
The control unit cannot be used without a Micro Memory Card (MMC) or with a
defective card. The LED shows the operating status "STOP".
Only qualified personnel is allowed to open the control cabinet in order to re-
place the Micro Memory Card (MMC).

Make sure that the power supply unit is switched off prior to changing the Micro
Memory Card (MMC).
When a new Micro Memory Card (MMC) has been connected, the SCU 8 is
in the STOP mode after it is switched on for the first time. Switch the voltage
supply off and on again. After that the SCU 8 is in the RUN mode.
The Micro Memory Card (MMC) must not be read out using commercially avail-
able card readers. The program may be destroyed.
Resetting the CPU means that the CPU is reinitialised. The program currently
stored in the RAM memory and all data will be overwritten by the content of the
Micro Memory Card (MMC).

Please consider the following criteria when selecting the installation site:
• If possible, avoid direct sunlight on the display to ensure readability of the dis-
play.
• Heating up of the unit due to external heat sources should be reduced to a
minimum.
• The control unit should not be installed in an excessively humid environment
or under wet conditions (see the chapter “Technical data”).
Air humidity/moisture
If the control unit may get moist, the supply voltage shall be applied at all times
to keep the temperature inside the control unit constant.
If power is supplied via the motor control system, the main switch shall remain
activated even if the centrifuge stands still.
Connect the control unit only to voltages specified on the nameplate inside the
housing.
The voltage-free contacts of the interface relays carry external voltage, for ex-
ample if they are integrated in pump controls for interlocking.
Installation instructions:
• Lay the signaling lines separately from lines with higher voltages (e.g. power
cables, motor lines etc.).
• Securely fasten the cable glands for cable entry.
For cabinets without cable glands, seal the cable entry points.
