Frequently Asked Questions - AC5210 IFM

How to address the AC5210 module?

Use the AC1144 addressing unit. Connect the E70213 addressing cable to the integrated interface on the front. The two slaves (A/B) are addressed successively: first the first (address 0 by default), then the second.

What do the LEDs on the module mean?

The yellow LED indicates that the corresponding input is switched. The green PWR LED signals correct AS-i power. The red FAULT LED lit means a communication error (e.g. address 0); if it flashes, a peripheral fault is detected (e.g. sensor overload).

How many slaves does this module manage?

The module operates as two independent A/B slaves, each with 4 inputs, for a total of 8 inputs.

How to reset addresses to factory defaults?

With the AC1144, set the ID1 code of the second slave to 0. The module's internal software then restores the factory setting (both slaves at address 0).

Can I use the module with a first-generation AS-i master?

Yes, but for a slave with code ID 'A', parameter P3 must be set to 1 and output bit D3 to 0. Assign an address between 1 and 31 to this slave.

How to install the AS-i flat cable correctly?

Place the yellow flat cable in the profile guide of the base, respecting a minimum straight length of about 15 cm. The base allows three different orientations (positions 1, 2 or 3) which you must also set on the upper part.

What is the protection rating and how to maintain it?

The module is IP67. To maintain it, plug all unused M12 sockets with protective caps (E73004) tightened to 0,6-0,8 Nm. Also use the sealing gasket (E70413) at the cable end.

What to do if the FAULT LED flashes?

This indicates a peripheral fault, such as an overload or short circuit on the sensor supply. Check the connected sensors and their cables.

How to open the module for mounting?

Use a tool (e.g. screwdriver) to open the device as indicated in the manual. Be careful not to damage the seals.

What accessories are available for this module?

The main accessories are: the E70213 addressing cable, the E73004 protective caps for M12 sockets, and the E70413 sealing gasket for flat cable end.

Note

In the AS-i network the module functions as two independent A/B slaves.

Addressing

The address for the two slaves is set to 0 at the factory.

Addressing with the addressing unit AC1144

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

In the factory setting, initially only the first slave gives a signal on address 0. It can be addressed to any address between 1A...31B. Once this slave is addressed, the second slave is automatically indicated on the display of the AC1144 with address 0 and can then also be addressed to any address between 1A...31B.

Important:

Both slaves can be assigned any A/B addresses (e.g. 3A/6A or 9A/25B etc.). No address can be assigned doubly (e.g. 3A/3A or 9B/9B etc.).

Restore the factory setting (address both slaves to 0)

Using the addressing unit AC1144 the factory setting of the module is restored by writing a 0 to ID1 of the second slave (factory setting ID1 = 2) by the internal software.

If a slave with the ID code "A" (option of extended addressing mode) is connected to a master of the first generation (version 2.0), the parameter P3 must be 1 and the output bit D3 = 0*. The output bit D3 must not be used. * default setting

If a slave with the ID code "A" (option of extended addressing mode) is connected to a master of the first generation (version 2.0), an address between 1A and 31A must be assigned to this slave.

Electrical connection

Connect the plugs of the sensors to the M12 sockets. To ensure the protection rating IP 67 you must

• cover the unused sockets with protective caps (E73004) ^* , tightening torque 0.6...0.8 Nm.
- use the flat cable end seal (E70413)* if the module is at the end of the cable line.

*) to be ordered separately

Operation

Avoid build-up of dirt and dust on the upper and lower parts so that the locking mechanism is not affected.

Check the safe functioning of the unit. LED display:

• LED yellow: inputswitched
• LED PWR green: AS-i voltage supply o.k.
- LED FAULT red is lit: AS-i communication error, slave does not participate in the "normal" exchange of data, e.g. slave address 0
- LED FAULT red flashes: peripheral fault, e.g. sensor supply overloaded or shorted

Overload and short circuit of the input supply are signalled as peripheral fault to the AS-i master (version 2.1 or higher).
