Function
The VBA-4E-G16-ZEJ is an AS-Interface compact module with 4 inputs. 2- and 3-wire sensors as well as mechanical contacts can be connected to the plus switching electronic inputs.
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 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 are made via M8 x 1 screw connections.
The inputs and the connected sensors are supplied via the internal power supply of the module (from AS-Interface).
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, to monitor the AS-Interface communication, and to indicate that the module has an address of 0, is also available.
The module can be fitted in any position using two screws.
