Function
The VBA-4E3A-G2-ZA/EA2 is an AS-Interface module with 4 Inputs and 3 outputs. Mechanical contacts (e. g. push buttons) as well as 2-, 3- and 4-wire sensors can be connected to the inputs. The outputs are electronic outputs, which can be collectively loaded with 24 V DC and 2 A or 1.5 A per output.
The IP67 flat module is ideal for applications in the field. An addressing jack is integrated in the module.
The connection for the sensors/actuators is via M12 x 1 screw connections. An LED is provided on the top of the module, for each channel, to indicate the current switching status. Similarly, an LED is provided to monitor the AS-Interface communication and to indicate that the module has the address 0. LEDs are also provided to indicate AS-Interface voltage and external power supply.
The mounting plate U-G2FF is used as standard for the connection to the AS-Interface flat cable and the external 24 V DC supply. The specially designed base enables the user to connect flat cable from both sides.
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.
Note:
The mounting base for the module is sold separately.
