Function
The VBA-4E-G12-ZAJ is an AS-Interface trigger module with 4 inputs. 2- and 3-wire sensors as well as mechanical contacts can be connected to the plus switching electronic inputs.
The solid housing permits fast mounting without tools as well as easy removal without tools. The stainless steel shell and the cast housing ensure durability and a high protection category.
The connection to the AS-Interface cable is achieved via penetration technology in the integrated flat cable. The insert for the flat cables can be turned in two orientations.
All connections to inputs are implemented via metal inserts for high stability. The connection to the sensors is achieved via a M12 x 1 circular connector with SPEEDCON quick locking option.
The inputs and the connected sensors are supplied via an external power source (AUX).
To indicate the current switching state there is an LED for each channel fitted to the top of the module.
An LED to indicate the AS-Interface voltage and that the module has an address of 0 is available, another indicates errors in the AS-Interface communication as well as periphery faults.
This module can be mounted in any position using three screws or can be snapped onto the DIN rail using the stainless steel holder.
