What are the electrical specifications of this interface sensor?
The interface sensor operates at a rated voltage of 26.5 to 31.6 V from AS-Interface and has a rated operating current of ≤ 110 mA.
Can this module be used with both 2- and 3-wire sensors?
Yes, the module has 4 inputs that can be used with either 2- or 3-wire sensors (PNP), with an external power supply.
What type of outputs does this module have?
The module is equipped with 4 relay outputs, each capable of handling 2 A/30 V DC or 2 A/250 V AC per output.
How does the module indicate its operating status?
The module has dual-LED indicators for power and fault (PWR/FAULT), as well as additional LED indicators for each input and output to show their switching states.
What is the function of the AS-Interface certificate included with this module?
The AS-Interface certificate ensures that the module complies with the AS-Interface network standard specifications, allowing for seamless integration into AS-Interface systems.
How is the module mounted in a cabinet?
The module is designed for easy installation by snapping onto a 35mm DIN Rail per EN 50022, with an integrated Power Rail for the AS-Interface signal transmission.
What is the purpose of the addressing jack on the module?
The addressing jack is used for address configuration, allowing for easy setup and integration of the module into an AS-Interface network.
What are the ambient operating temperature ranges for this module?
The module can operate within an ambient temperature range of -25 to 70 °C (-13 to 158 °F), with a storage temperature range of -25 to 85 °C (-13 to 185 °F).
What level of protection does the module offer?
The module has a degree of protection rated at IP20, indicating it is protected against solid objects larger than 12.5 mm but not against water.
How can the outputs be de-energised in the event of a communication failure?
The module features an integrated watchdog that de-energises the outputs if communication on the AS-Interface cable is interrupted for more than 80 ms. This function can be disabled by changing the parameter bit P0.
