Function

The AS-Interface safety output module VBA-8E8A8A-KE4-ZEL/E2L/SEL is a switch cabinet module with eight safe electronic outputs. In addition, the module has eight inputs and one standard output per safe output. The safety output module allows safe switching processes to take place remotely in the box. The parallel wiring of safe actuators in the box is a thing of the past.

The housing is only 22.5 mm wide and takes up little space in the switch cabinet. A snapon function mounts the module onto the 35 mm mounting strip in line with EN 50022. An addressing socket for programming the basic address is integrated in the module. All further addresses can be configured via a configuration software.

The connection is made via plug-in terminals. Four-way (black) terminal blocks are used for the inputs. The AS-Interface is connected via a two-way terminal block (yellow). This allows the sensors or the power supply to be easily disconnected for commissioning or service. Power is supplied to the inputs by an external auxiliary power supply. Yellow LEDs display the current switching status of the inputs and outputs. Yellow LEDs display communication errors. A green LED displays the operating voltage and the 0 address.
