UI-8/AO-4-2 and UI-8/AO-4-H-2 Central IO Modules

arrow1_rotationUniversal inputs arrow1_rotationAnalog outputs arrow1_rotationSpecifikationer

These Central IO modules combine 8 universal inputs and 4 analog outputs. You can use these modules when an application requires only a few I/O points of each type. The universal inputs can be used for any mix of temperature, pressure, flow, status points, and similar inputs. The analog outputs can be used to control a wide range of devices, such as valves and actuators, using a 0-10 VDC or 0-20 mA control signal.

Obs!

Module names with an -H indicate the presence of Hand-Off-Auto override switches.

The following input types are supported:

  • Digital (dry contact, open collector, or open drain)

  • Counter (dry contact, open collector, or open drain)

  • Supervised

  • Voltage (0–10 VDC)

  • Current (0–20 mA)

  • Temperature (supports several different thermistor types)

  • Resistive

The following output types are supported:

  • Voltage (0–10 VDC)

  • Current (0–20 mA)

Each universal input channel has a dedicated two-color (red and green) status LED that provides local monitoring of the input. You can configure the channel status LED for a digital or counter input to display either red or green for each input state. Each analog output channel has an override switch and an adjustable potentiometer. The front panel contains the I/O channel and module status LEDs, the override switches, and the potentiometers.

Applied voltages beyond the absolute maximum ratings will cause over current in the protection component D Z .

The I/O bus in the terminal base provides the Central IO module with power and an address.

The address value in the I/O bus is increased by one for each terminal base. The I/O bus also enables RS-485 communication between the Central IO module and the automation server.

Digital inputs

The external connection of a digital input is shown in the following figure.

Figur: Digital input external connection

K is the monitored external switch.

V S = 24 V

R PU = 10 kohm

Counter inputs

A counter input uses the same hardware configuration as the digital input that is shown in the figure above.

Supervised inputs

Supervised inputs are contact closing inputs supplemented with the supervision of the field wiring integrity. This supervision is a required feature in many security system applications. The supervised inputs provide the ability to detect specific forms of tampering or trouble with the wire connections to the field contacts. The supervision is achieved with a combination of 1 or 2 resistors attached to the contact in the field. The resistor combination creates continuous current flow through the field contact loop and presents a defined set of expected resistance values for each of the defined conditions. If someone is attempting to defeat the monitoring of the field contact by short circuiting the wire with a jumper or cutting the wire, the objective is to detect and indicate such a condition. The resistors need to be located at the end of the cable close to the field contact, so that the point where there is a risk that the circuit is defeated is between the resistors and the I/O.

Three different types of supervised input connections are supported:

  • Series only

  • Parallel only

  • Series and parallel

Each type of supervised input connection provides a different capability in regards to what form of tamper/trouble can be detected regardless of switch contact open or closed condition.

Series only: A single resistor, which is connected in series with the switch, can only detect tamper/trouble in the form of a short circuit across the wire pair. A single series resistor supervision is frequently configured with a normally closed field contact. This provides for the short circuit to be detected and a cut wire will show as an alarm condition. The external connection of a series only supervised input connection is shown in the following figure.

 
action_zoom_plus_stroke Series only external connection
Figur: Series only external connection

K is the monitored external switch.

R S = 1 to 10 kohm

V S = 5 V

R PU = 10 kohm

Parallel only: A single resistor, which is connected in parallel with the switch, can only detect tamper/trouble in the form of an open circuit in the field wiring loop. With single parallel resistor supervision and use of a normally open switch in the field, the opened wiring shows as a fault and the shorted wiring shows as an alarm condition. The external connection of a parallel only supervised input connection is shown in the following figure.

Figur: Parallel only external connection

K is the monitored external switch.

R P = 1 to 10 kohm

V S = 5 V

R PU = 10 kohm

Series and parallel: Two resistors, where one is connected in series with the switch and one is connected in parallel with the switch, can detect tamper/trouble conditions in the form of both an open and a shorted circuit. The external connection of a series and parallel supervised input connection is shown in the following figure.

Voltage inputs

V G is the monitored external voltage (0 to 10 VDC).

R IN = 1 Mohm

Current inputs

The external connection of a current input is shown in the following figure.

 
action_zoom_plus_stroke Current input external connection
Figur: Current input external connection

I G is the monitored external current (0 to 20 mA).

R SH = 47 ohm

In the internal configuration of the current input, there is a current limit circuit in order to protect the shunt resistor from over load. The input current is limited to 40 mA with a serial connected FET transistor. If this limit is reached for 0.5 seconds, the transistor is turned off. When 5 seconds have elapsed, the transistor is turned on again to make a new start attempt.

Temperature inputs

The external connection of a temperature input is shown in the following figure.

 
action_zoom_plus_stroke Temperature input external connection

R T is the monitored external thermistor.

When a universal input is used as a temperature input, V S and R PU in the internal configuration of the universal input are used according to the following table.

Analog outputs

The analog outputs (AO) are designed to be used for voltage outputs (VO) or current outputs (CO).

The I/O bus in the terminal base provides the Central IO module with power and an address.

The address value in the I/O bus is increased by one for each terminal base. The I/O bus also enables RS-485 communication between the Central IO module and the automation server.
