Details: VBA-4E3A-G4-ZE/E2
Function
The VBA-4E3A-G4-ZE/E2 is an AS-Interface coupling module with four inputs and three outputs. Mechanical contacts and 2- and 3-wire sensors can be connected to the inputs. The sensors are supplied via the module. The outputs are electronic outputs, which can be loaded to 24 V DC and 2 A or 1.5 A per output (total load < 4 A).
The G4 module is especially suitable for rough conditions. Sensors and actuators attach to cable glands and cage tension spring terminals thus making the installation especially user-friendly. For pre-addressing the module it can be plugged directly onto the adapter of the hand-held programming device VBP-HH1.
The current switching state of each channel is indicated by an LED, located on the module's top side. In the case of communication errors on the bus, the outputs are de-energised via an integrated watchdog.
Both flat and round cables can be used for the AS-Interface transmission line and the external 24 V DC power supply. Use the U-G1FF base for the AS-Interface flat cable. The AS-Interface standardised EEMS interface, uses the cable piercing method to connect both the yellow and black flat cables.
Use the U-G1PP base for the round cable. The AS-Interface-cable as well as the external power supply may be connected within this base.
Note:
The device incorporates communication monitoring, which switches off power to the outputs if no communication has taken place on the AS-Interface line for longer than 40 ms.
An overloading of the internal input supply or of the outputs is signalled to the AS-Interface master via the "Peripheral fault" function. Communication via the AS-Interface remains intact.
