Overview
1. Overview
PRM extension module provides additional inputs and outputs for the basic device PR200. The
module inputs and outputs can be controlled by PR200 as its own I/Os.
The module is a passive device and cannot be used without connection with the basic device over
internal bus.
The module is manufactured in several modifications, differing by the supply voltage. All modifications are designed in a plastic enclosure for DIN rail mounting.

Mounting
4. Mounting
The extension module PRM is designed for DIN rail mounting. For the dimension drawing see Appendix A.
The safety precautions from the section 4.1 and the operating conditions from the section 2.1 must
be observed.
After mounting on the DIN rail, first the internal bus connection should be implemented (see 4.2 ‘Internal bus’), then the power supply and the external devices should be connected to the module
terminal blocks (see 4.3 ‘Wiring’).
For device quick replacement see 4.4.
4.1 Intended use
The device must be powered off before connecting to internal bus or I/O devices.
Installation must be performed only by fully qualified personnel.
WARNING
NOTICE
Ensure that the device is provided with i ts own power supply line and electric fuse!
NOTICE
If the supply voltage is lower than 19 V DC, the device cannot operate properly but will not be damaged.
NOTICESignal cables should be routed separately or screened from the supply cables.
NOTICE
Shielded cable should be used for the signal lines to ensure the EMC precautions.

4.2 Internal bus
A high-speed internal bus that connects PR200 to PRM modules provides the same high-speed
performance of the module I/Os that of the built-in I/Os of the basic device. This allows reading the
module input vales and writing the module output values within one cycle of the program running
on PR200.
The PRM modules are con nec ted to PR2 00 in seri es . Maximum two modules can be connected
(Fig. 4.1). To implement the internal bus, connect PRM to PR200, using the 4.5 cm flat cable included to the module.
PRM has two connectors marked ‘EXT’ located under the right and left covers on the device front.
The connector under the left cover is used to connect the 1st PRM to PR200 or the 2nd PRM to the
1st one. The connector under the right cover is used to connect PR200 to the 1st PRM or the 1st
PRM to the 2nd one.
To enable control by PR200, the module should be added to the PR200 configuration in the programming software ALP (see 5 ‘Configuration’).
Fig. 4.1
When connected, the flat cable should be placed in a special recess under the cover to enable
PRM to be pushed close to PR200.
Fig. 4.2
4.3 Wiring
The safety precautions from the section 4.1 must be observed.
Terminal assignment is given in Table 4.1. Electrical connections for inputs and outputs are given
in Fig. 4.3…4.5. Maximum conductor cross-section is 0.75 mm².

same input group. One voltage source can be used for two input groups.

4.4 Quick replacement
PRM is equipped with plug-in terminal blocks which
enable quick replacement of the device without disconnecting the existing wiring (Fig. 4.6).
To replace the device:
− power off all connected lines including power supply
− remove all detachable parts of the terminal blocks
− replace PRM
− connect detach abl e par ts with exis tin g wirin g to the
To add a module to the basic device configuration:
– open a PR200 project in ALP programming software
– open the tool ‘Device configuration’
– select the item ‘Extension modules’
– add PRM module using the context menu (Fig. 5.1)
Fig. 5.1
The PRM counting number, when counting from left to right from PR200, determines the slot number in the configuration (Fig. 4.1). The module next to PR200 should be added to the configuration
first to be assigned to the slot 1. The next added module is always assigned to the slot 2. If there is
no module assigned to the slot 1, it is impossible to assign the module to the slot 2.
The data exchange between PR200 and PRM at the slot 2 is carried out through PRM at the slot 1.
If PRM at the slot 1 is powered off, the data exchange between PR200 and PRM at the slot 2 is interrupted.
You can remove PRM from the project only after disconnecting all the variables connected to its
inputs and outputs.
You can change the position of PRM in the configuration using the context menu.
The project can be transferred to P200 irrespective of whether the modules are connected or not.
When a module is added to configuration, additional inputs I1…I8
and outputs O1…O8 with the module number in brackets appear in
the workspace (Fig. 5.2).
The inputs from I6 (1) to I8 (1) are the inputs 6…8 of the module at
the slot 1.
The inputs from I1 (2) to I2 (2) are the inputs 1, 2 of the module at
the slot 2
When have been added to the project, the module is ready for operation. The following optional settings can be made:
Fig. 5.2
1. Status – a parameter to witch a Boolean variable in the project can be assigned. The value of
the parameter is:
It is not recommended to use the contact bounce suppression for input signals with a frequency above 90 Hz and a duty cycle of 50% or less. A useful signal can be missed.
Configuration
– TRUE, if the communication with PRM is established and the modification of PRM matches
the one specified in the project
– FALSE, if the communication with the module is lost or the modification of PRM does not
match the one specified in the project
2. Output safe state – the parameter can be set for each output using the item ‘Outputs \ Digi-
tal’ in the configuration tree. The parameter defines the safe output state if communication with
PR200 has been interrupted.
3. Debouncing filter – the parameter is available only for inputs of PRM-24. It can be set for
each input using the item ‘Inputs \ Digital’ in the configuration tree. The parameter defines the
input filter time for contact bounce suppression and can be set in the range of 0…255 ms.
5.1 Firmware update
When communication between akYtec ALP software and PR200 with PRM(s) connected is established, you can check all devices for firmware update. If a firmware update is available, it will be
prompted to install it on the basic device and the modules.
− cleaning of the housing and terminal blocks from dust, dirt and debris
− check the device fastening
− checking the wiring (connecting leads, fastenings, mechanical damage)
The device should be cleaned with a damp cloth only. No abrasives or solvent-containing cleaners
may be used. The safety information in section 3 must be observed when carrying out maintenance.
The device may have been damaged during transportati o n.
Report the transport damage immediately to the shipper and akYtec GmbH!
Transportation and storage
7. Transportation and storage
Pack the device in such a way as to protect it reliably against impact for storage and transportation.
The original packaging provides optimum protection.
If the device is not taken immediately after delivery into operation, it must be carefully stored at a
protected location. The device should not be stored in an atmosphere with chemically active substances.
Permitted storage temperature: -25...+ 55 °C
NOTICE
Check the device for transport damage and completeness!
