Frequently Asked Questions - AC1310 IFM

What is the supply voltage of the AC1310 controller?

The AC1310 controller requires a 24 V DC (20...30 V SELV/PELV) power supply. Preferably use a specific AS-i power supply, for example the IFM DN2011.

How to connect the AC1310 controller?

De-energize the installation, then connect the power supply to the +24V and 0V terminals. Connect the FE terminal to ground. Use an E70320 programming cable for the RS232C interface.

What do the LEDs on the controller mean?

LED PWR/COM: on if AS-i power is present and at least one slave is detected. LED PROJ: on in project mode. LED CONF/PF: on if configuration is different, flashes in case of peripheral fault. The Ethernet LEDs indicate the IP address state and transmission activity.

How to adjust the screen contrast?

Press simultaneously the right button and the 'up' button to increase contrast, or the right button and the 'down' button to decrease it.

What communication interfaces does the AC1310 have?

It has a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet interface (RJ45) supporting TCP/IP, UDP, HTTP, FTP, Telnet and E-mail, as well as an RS232C serial interface for programming.

How to configure the AC1310 for the first time?

Use the 'Quick Setup' menu to read the current AS-i configuration and set the fieldbus connection. For advanced configuration, use the 'System Setup' and 'Master Setup' menus.

Can the AC1310 operate as a gateway?

Yes, it can communicate with a higher-level control system in gateway mode via Ethernet and Modbus/TCP protocols.

How to program an AS-i slave address with the AC1310?

In the 'Address Slave' menu, you can reassign a connected slave or activate automatic addressing (easy startup) to assign the next available address.

Where should I mount the AC1310 controller?

Mount it on a 35 mm profile rail, in a protected location such as an electrical cabinet (IP20). Avoid humidity, excessive dust, vibrations and shocks.

What to do if the 'CONF/PF' LED flashes?

This indicates a peripheral fault on at least one connected AS-i slave. Check the slaves in the 'Slave Setup' menu to identify the problem.

Function and features

• The controller integrates one or two AS-i masters (AC1309/AC1310, both in accordance with the AS-i version 2.1), a mini controller and an Ethernet interface.
• It controls the exchange of data to the sensor / actuator level
• processes the peripheral data in the integrated processor (signal preprocessing)
• works as stand-alone controller with exchange of data to the PC (visualisation)
• communicates with the higher control level (in the gateway mode)

Programming interface RS232C

• Baud rate 4800 to 115,200 baud
• Max. distance between controller _e and host: 20m
• Potential separation from the controller e power supply
• Programming cable E70320 for connection to host required

Ethernet interface

10Mbps and 100Mbps
- TCP/IP - Transport Control Protocol/ Internet Protocol
- UDP - User Datagram Protocol
- IT functionality: file system, FTP server, Telnet server, HTTP server, E-mail client
RJ45, Twisted-Pair

Installation

Fix the controller onto a 35mm rail. The protection rating of the unit is IP20, therefore it should be mounted in a protected location (e.g. control cabinet).

Ensure a condensation-free environment. Avoid excessive dust, vibration and shock. The air circulation through the vents must not be impeded.

Avoid installation in direct vicinity of frequency inverters.

Electrical connection

Disconnect the installation from power. Connect the unit as indicated on the terminals. Never connect the minus potentials to each other or the minus potentials to the FE connection. Ensure an electrically save ground connection between AS-i controller (terminal FE) and ground of the unit.

Supply the controller with a 24V DC voltage (20 ... 30V PELV), e.g. from the 24V power supply DN2011 of ifm electronic. The connection is made to the terminals +24V and 0V.

Operating and indicating elements

Information concerning the state of the master (AC1305)/masters /AC1306) and the connected system is given via three diagnostic LEDs on the controller_e.

• LED PWR/COM lights: AS-i voltage present, at least one slave was detected
• LED PWR/COM flashes: AS-i voltage present, but no slave was detected correctly
• LED PROJ lights: Projection mode active, the configuration monitoring is deactivated
• LED PROJ flashes: Projection mode active, changeover to protected mode not possible as a slave with the address 0 is connected
• LED CONF/PF lights: Projected and current configuration do not match
• LED CONF/PF flashes: Periphery fault on at least one connected slave

Ethernet Status LEDs

• LED address state: green flashing 1Hz: The IP address is freely selectable red flashing 1Hz: invalid MAC ID (internal fault Ethernet interface) red flashing 2Hz: no valid Ethernet configuration loaded

red flashing 4Hz: internal fault Ethernet interface

red flashing: double IP address recognised

LED Modbus/TCP connections: cyclical data exchange via Mod

bus/TCP protocol

LED Link to Ethernet: controller e is connected to an

Ethernet system

LED Transmission activity: flashing green for every data

package transferred

Contrast setting

The contrast can be directly changed by simultaneously pressing the right button and the -button (too bright) or the -button (too dark).

Operation

To operate an AS-i system a special AS-i power supply is required (e.g. AC1216). The AS-i power supply supplies the yellow AS-i cable with energy and implements a data decoupling to the voltage regulator of the power supply. Standard switched-mode power supplies would consider the AS-i data signals as interference signals and suppress them.

Disconnect the power supply before connecting the controller_e.

The AS-i system is operated ungrounded. AS-i + and AS-i - are to be symmetrical to the ground potential of the installation. Ensure a low resistance connection of the symmetry point of the AS-i power supply (terminal shield) to the ground of the installation.
