Function

The AS-Interface relay output module VBA-4E1A-KE3-ZEJ/SR is a control cabinet module with 4 inputs and a relay output. The inputs comprise 3 conventional and 1 EDM input. The relay-switched output can be loaded with 3 A at 24 V DC or 230 V AC. The use of the relay output module enables safe switching sequences to be achieved remotely in the field. This means that the parallel wiring of safe actuators in the field is a thing of the past.

The housing, which is only 22.5 mm wide, requires little space in the switch cabinet. The module is installed by simply snapping it onto the 35 mm standard mounting rail to EN 50022. An addressing socket is integrated in the module.

The connection is made via plug-in terminals. Four-terminal blocks (black) are used for the outputs. Connection of the AS-Interface is by means of a 2-station terminal block (yellow). This permits the simple removal of the sensors or of the supply during commissioning or servicing. The supply to the inputs and the connected sensors is fed internally via the module from the AS-Interface. The current switching state of the inputs and of the output relay is indicated via yellow LEDs. Communication faults and the set output bit A0 are indicated via red LEDs. The display of the operating voltage and the address 0 is provided by a green LED.

Access to the addressing of the safe output slaves and of the integrated A/B-Slaves takes place by switching over the programming switch to the operating mode “Prg” and “Run”.
