AS-Interface sensor/actuator module VBA-4E4A-G16-ZEJ/E2L

The VBA-4E4A-G16-ZEJ/E2L is an AS-Interface compact module with 4 inputs and 4 outputs. 2- and 3-wire sensors as well as mechanical contacts can be connected to the plus switching electronic inputs. The outputs are electronic outputs which can be energized with max. 1 A per output.

The particularly slim design with 30 mm is ideally suited for the common profile widths with simple sliding block mounting or screw fitting in narrow shafts. To guarantee the protection category the electronics is compound-filled.

All module connections are implemented with metal inserts for high stability. The connection to the AS-Interface cable and to the external power supply is achieved via a M12 x 1 circular connector with SPEEDCON quick locking option. The advantage of the plug-connection is that no separate base is required. For addressing a standard cable with M12 x 1 screw connections can also be used. The connections to the sensors/actuators are made via M8 x 1 screw connections.

The inputs and the connected sensors are supplied from the internal power supply of the module (from AS-Interface), the outputs and the connected actuators 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. The outputs are protected against overload and short circuit, an output overload is indicated via an LED per channel.

An LED to indicate the AS-Interface voltage, to monitor the AS-Interface communication, and to indicate that the module has an address of 0, is also available. Another LED indicates the external power supply (AUX).

The module can be fitted in any position using two screws.

An output overload is reported to the AS-Interface master via the function "periphery fault". The communcation with the AS-Interface remains intact.
