USER MANUAL AC2521 IFM

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 0 ... 20 mA
  AS-i profile S-7.3.6
• The sensors are connected via M12 connection cables
  Maximum number of modules per AS-i system: 31
• R_ for current output 600
• Time for converting the measured values in the slave: < 1 ms
• Actuator supply from external 24 V PELV voltage source (black flat cable, max. 1.1 A in total)
• Resolution: 1 A

Installation / Addressing

When you use module lower parts without addressing socket (AC5003) first address the module by placing it onto an addressing unit (AC1144) and assign a free address between 1 and 31.

When you use module lower parts with an addressing socket (AC5011) the modules can be addressed with the addressing adapter E70213 later on.

Mount the module onto the wired module lower part of the AS-i network, tightening torque 0.8 Nm.

Electrical connection

The analogue module is connected to the AS-Interface via the E-EMS (supply from an ext. 24 V PELV voltage source).

If the supply is to be from an external 24 V source, a FC-E lower part (art. no. AC5003 or AC5011) must be used.

As an alternative FC-E lower parts with earthing lead (AC5021, AC5023) can be used to increase the noise immunity.

Wiring

For all the following wiring diagrams the indicated pin connection refers to the analogue module.

The analogue outputs AO- must neither directly nor indirectly (via the connected actuator) be connected to each other.

Operation

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

• LED yellow AO1...AO4 on:

analogue signal in the measuring rangeor no actuator connected. It cannot be differentiated whether the 0V signal is applied or whether an actuator is con-. nected

• LED yellow AO1...AO4 flashes: analogue signal outside the measuring range (outside range)

• LED green PWR on: AS-i voltage is applied

• LED green AUX on: external 24V voltage is applied
• LED red FAULT on: AS-i communication error

• LED red FAULT flashes: periphery fault*

• periphery fault

A periphery fault is indicated 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 output module 0 ... 20 mA

Range 0 ... 20mA	Units dec.	Units hex.	LED AO1...AO4 analogue	Meaning
0mA ... 20mA	0000 ... 20000	0000 ... 4E20	on	nominal range
20.001mA ... 23mA	20001 ... 23000	4E21 ... 59D8	on	above nominal range
>23mA	>23000	>59D8	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 for 2 analogue input signals into digital signals is < 1 ms. The transmission time of the 2-16-bit values via the AS-interface ideally is 7 AS-i cycles per value. For a cycle time of 5ms per AS-i cycle this results in a transmission time of 2 × 7 × 5 ms = 70 ms via the AS-Interface.

Thus the total transmission time for 2 analogue values ideally is 1ms (conversion time) +70ms (transmission time) = 71ms .

Example: Transmission time of 4 analogue channels

The conversion time for 4 analogue input signals into digital signals is < 1 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 × 5ms = 140ms via the AS-Interface.

Thus the total transmission time for 4 analogue values ideally is 1 ms (conversion time) + 140 ms (transmission time) = 141 ms.
