Function and features

The slave converts analogue input signals and transfers them to the AS-i master via the AS-Interface. The AS-i module operates as a slave with bidirectional data transfer in the AS-i network.

The data transfer to the host is asynchronous according to the AS-i profile S-7.3 and the AS-i specification V2.1.

• Current measurement 4...20 mA (AC2216)
  or voltage measurement 0...10 V (AC2217)
  AS-i profile S-7.3.E
• The sensors are connected via Combicon connectors (accessories, e.g. E70230)
  Maximum number of modules per AS-i system: 31
• R_i voltage measurement > 100 k ; R_i current measurement < 50

• Time for converting the measured values in the slave

• for one channel: 20 ms

• for two channels: 120 ms
• for three channels: 180 ms

• for four channels: 240 ms

• Sensor supply from AS-i (max. 100 mA) or external 24 V PELV voltage source (the external supply voltage is selected automatically as soon as an external 24 V voltage is applied)

• Resolution: 16 bits/1 A (AC2216) or 16 bits/1 mV (AC2217)
• Value range: 4000 ... 20000 dec. (AC2216) or 0 ... 10000 dec. (AC2217)

Addressing

Assign a free address between 1 and 31, the address set at the factory is 0.

Address the slave with the addressing unit AC1144.

The module can be addressed when mounted and wired with the addressing cable (E70213) via the implemented addressing interface.

Addressing via the addressing socket is only allowed when disconnected.

Installation

Fix the module onto a 35 mm rail.

Electrical connection

Connection of a 2-wire sensor

A 2-wire sensor is connected via the terminals I+ and C1...4 (AC2216) or V1...2 (AC2217). The terminals I- and OV must be connected to each other via a link.

Connection of a 3-wire sensor

A 3-wire sensor is connected via the terminals I+, I- und C1...4 (AC2216) bzw. V1...4 (AC2217). The terminals I- and OV must be connected to each other via a link.

Connection of a 4-wire sensor

A 4-wire sensor is connected via the terminals I+, I-, C1...4 (AC2216) or V1...4 (AC2217) and 0V.

Connection of an analogue sensor with intrinsic supply

A sensor with intrinsic supply is connected via the terminals C1...4 (AC2216) or V1...4 (AC2217) and 0V.

Operation AC2216

Check the safe functioning of the unit. Display by LEDs:

• LEDs yellow I-1...4 on: analogue signal in the measuring range
• LEDs yellow I-1...4 flashing: analogue signal outside the measuring range, no sensor connected or wire break
• LEDs yellow 1-2...4 out: no sensor connected (at least one LED flashes because not all channels can be deactivated via the parameter bit P1/P2 (channel activation, channel 1 is always activated)
• LED green PWR on: AS-i voltage applied
• ED green AUX on: external 24 V voltage applied
• LED red FAULT on: AS-i communication error, e.g. slave address 0
• LED red FAULT flashes: periphery fault*

• LED yellow DIAG internal diagnosis
  DIAG ON: no error
  DIAG flashes: internal error (replace module)
  DIAG OUT: internal error (replace module)

A periphery fault is displayed:

• if at least one of the analogue signals is outside the value range

Measuring range of the analogue input modules

The measuring ranges, the states of the LEDs and their meaning are indicated in the following tables:

Analogue input module 4I, 4...20 mA - AC2216

Range 4...20mA	Units dec.	Units hex.	LED analogue	Meaning
< 1mA	32767	7FFF	flashes	wire break
1 mA ... 3.999 mA	1000 ... 3999	03E8 ... 0F9F	on	below nominal range
4 mA ... 20 mA	4000 ... 20000	0FA0 ... 4E20	on	nominal range
20.001 mA ... 23 mA	20001 ... 23000	4E21 ... 59D8	on	above nominal range
> 23 mA	32767	7FFF	flashes	outside range

Analogue input module 4I, 0...10 V - AC2217

Range 0...10 V	Units dec.	Units hex.	LED analogue	Meaning
< 0 V 0000	0000 on outside	range
0...10 V 0000	... 10000 0000	.. 2710 on nominal	range
10.001 V... 11.5 V	10001 ... 11500	2711 ... 2CEC on	above nominal	range
> 11.5 V	32767	7FFF	flashes	outside range

Transmission time of the analogue values

The transmission time of the analogue values depends on the conversion time of the analogue signals into digital signals in the AS-i module and on the transmission time via the AS-Interface.

The conversion time per analogue input signal is 60 ms. But if only channel 1 is used, i.e. all other channels are deactivated via the parameter bits P1 and P2, the conversion time for this channel is only 20 ms.

The transmission time of the 4 16-bit values via the AS-interface ideally is 7 AS-i cycles per value. For a cycle time of 5 ms per AS-i cycle this results in a transmission time of 4 * 7 * 5 ms = 140 ms via the AS-Interface.

If the channels 2 to 4 are deactivated, the transmission via the AS-Interface for one channel requires 7 AS-i cycles. For a cycle time of 5ms per AS-i cycle this results in a transmission time of 1 * 7 * 5 ms = 35 ms via the AS-Interface.

Thus the total transmission time for 4 analogue values ideally is 240~ms (conversion time) + 140 ms (transmission time) = 380 ms. If channels 2 to 4 are deactivated, the transmission time ideally is 20~ms + 35~ms = 55~ms .
