2.3 Product description
The A-ISOMETER® type IRDH275 monitors the insulation resistance of IT
systems. It is suitable for universal use in 3(N)AC, AC/DC and DC systems.
AC systems may include extensive DC supplied loads, such as converters or
thyristor-controlled DC drives. The device automatically adapts itself to the
existing system leakage capacitance.
Suitable coupling devices are available to extend the nominal voltage range
U
.
n
The IRDH275B can be used in combination with a control and indicating device, e.g. PRC1470 version 2 or higher, on the BMS (BMS = Bender Measuring Device Interface) bus.
2.4 Function
The A-ISOMETER® IRDH275 is connected between the unearthed system (IT
system) and the protective conductor (PE).
The response values and other function parameters are set via the function
keys. The parameters are indicated on the LC display and are stored in a nonvolatile memory (EEPROM) after the setting is completed.
A microprocessor-controlled pulsating AC measuring voltage is superimposed on the IT system to be monitored ( measuring principle*). The
measuring cycle consists of positive and negative pulses of the same amplitude. The period of these pulses depends on the respective system leakage
capacitances and the insulation resistances of the IT system to be monitored.
An insulation fault between the IT system and earth closes the measuring circuit. From the measured current value, the microprocessor calculates the insulation resistance which is indicated on the LC display or the external kΩ
measuring instrument.
The measuring time is determined by the system leakage capacitances, the
insulation resistance, and the system-related interference disturbances. System leakage capacitances do not influence the measuring accuracy.
If the reading is below the selected response values Alarm 1/Alarm 2, the associated alarm relays respond and the alarm LEDs "Alarm 1/2“ light up and
the measuring value is indicated on the LC display (in the event of DC insulation faults, the faulty supply line is indicated). If the terminals R1/R2 are
bridged (external RESET button [NC contact] or wire bridge), the fault indication will be stored. Pressing the RESET button, resets the insulation fault

message, provided that the currently displayed insulation resistance is at
least 25% above the actual response value when the reset is carried out. The
fault memory behaviour can also be set in the "ISO SETUP" menu, by selecting the sub menu Memory: on/off.
The connections for external kΩ display supplied by the current output
0...400 µA or 0/4...20 mA (IRDH275B) at M+/M- are galvanically isolated.
*) measuring principle "adaptive measuring pulse", a measuring
principle developed by BENDER (European Patent: EP 0 654 673 B1).
Self test
A self test can be carried out manually using the TEST button or automatically. In order to guarantee high functional reliability, the A-ISOMETER®
IRDH275 provides comprehensive self test functions. After switching the
supply voltage on, all internal measuring functions, the components of the
process control such as data and parameter memory as well as system and
earth connections are checked using the self test functions. The progress of
the self test is indicated on the display by a bar graph. Depending on the
conditions in the IT system to be monitored, the self test is running for
15...20 seconds, then the message "Test ok!" appears on the LC display for
approximately 2 seconds. Then the device returns to normal measuring
mode and the current measuring value is displayed after the expiry of the
measuring time.
When a device error or connection fault is found, the message "!Error!" appears on the display, the device fault LED lights up, the relay K2 (21-22-24)
switches and the respective fault message (see table) is indicated. If such a
device fault occurs, a self test is started again every minute. If no more malfunction is detected, the fault message is deleted automatically and the
device fault LED extinguishes.
During operation, the self test function can be started by pressing the TEST
button (internal or external). The self test can also be started automatically
every hour or every 24 hours by selecting "ISO ADVANCED: Autotest" menu.
The alarm relays Alarm1/2 only switch after starting the self test function by
pressing the TEST button, that means if an automatic self test has been selected, the alarm relays do not switch.

2.5 Additional functions IRDH275B
Current output for external measuring instrument
The current output of IRDH275B provides 0(4)...20 mA. The current output
is galvanically isolated from the device electronics and the RS485 interface.
The ISO SETUP menu, on page 43, allows to switch over between 0...20 mA
and 4...20 mA.
Real-time clock
The real-time clock serves as a time base for the memory and self test functions. At first, the correct time and date must be set in the menu "ISO ADVANCED". If time and date are not set, a „C“ (clock) is flashing in the
standard display. In the event of a supply voltage failure, time and date will
be stored for at least thirty days.
If the 24 h test is activated in the "ISO ADVANCED" menu, a special time of
day can be selected for the execution of the self test in the menu "TEST:
12:00". Then a self test will be started automatically once a day exactly at the
preset time. If the 1 h auto test has been selected, the self test is automatically
carried out every full hour.
Interconnected IT systems
When using A-ISOMETERs® in IT systems, make sure that only one active
A-ISOMETER® is connected in each interconnected system. If IT systems are
interconnected via coupling switches, make sure that A-ISOMETERs® not
currently used are disconnected and deactivated via a control system. IT systems coupled via diodes or capacitances may also influence the insulation
monitoring process. Hence, also in this case a central control of the different
A-ISOMETERs® is required.
Function input F1/F2 for connection or disconnection of
IT systems being monitored
The A-ISOMETER® can be disconnected from the IT system and set to
STANDBY mode with the function input F1/F2. If the input F1/F2 is bridged,
the connections L1/L2 are switched off via internal coupling relays, the measuring function is stopped and the message "STANDBY" appears on the display. Software version 1.4 or higher does not indicate the measured
insulation resistance during the disconnection, but indicates the value
> 10 MΩ. Furthermore, the alarm relays and alarm LEDs no longer provide
alarm messages. After opening the function input F1/F2, the connection to
the IT system will be restored and a completely new measuring cycle for in-
TGH1361en/11.2009
15
Page 16
Function
sulation monitoring is started.
With this function, selective disconnection of an IRDH275 in interconnected
IT systems can be carried out via auxiliary contacts of the respective coupling
switch. One coupling switch each in a line-type or ring-type arrangement can
deactivate a subsequent IRDH275. This arrangement guarantees that only
one A-ISOMETER® is active in each galvanically connected system. In a ringtype arrangement with all coupling switches closed, it can be assumed that
all A-ISOMETER®s are deactivated. In order to prevent this, a BMS Master
(IRDH275B BMS address 1) monitors the condition of the function input F1/
F2 of all slave A-ISOMETERs®. When all slave A-ISOMETERs® are in the
STANDBY mode, the insulation monitoring function of the Master
A-ISOMETER® and hence the function input F1/F2 of the Master are without
function in this mode.
Details are shown in the graphic below.

Function
ISOnet Function (COM SETUP)
Select "ISOnet=ON" from the COM SETUP menu to activate this function.
This function is a type of scanning function. The BMS Master activated via
the ISOnet function controls the ISOnet slave devices via the BMS bus. Once
an A-ISOMETER® has finished its measurement cycle, the authorization for
measuring the insulation resistance is passed on from the ISOnet Master to
the next slave. While an A-ISOMETER® is carrying out a measurement all
other A-ISOMETERs® are in the STANDBY mode. In this way it can be prevented that the A-ISOMETERs® disturb each other in interconnected systems. In comparison to the solution coupling switches and function input F1/
F2, the response time is prolonged, since no continuous measurement takes
place. The advantage is that no auxiliary contacts of a coupling switch are
required. Furthermore, this solution is ideally suited for capacitive IT systems
or IT systems connected via diodes.
An ISOnet slave checks whether there is a Master available in the network.
If there is no Master available, the fault message "ISOnet Master?" appears on
the display. When the ISOnet function is activated, the function input F1/F2
will be disconnected.

4.1 Wiring
Connect the terminals A1/+ and A2/- to the supply voltage US in accordance
with IEC 60364-4-43. The connections to the supply voltage shall be provided with protective devices to afford protection in the event of a short circuit
(a 6 A fuse is recommended).
Devices for protection against short-circuit in conformity with IEC 60364-443 for the IT system coupling L1/L2 can be omitted if the wiring is carried
out in such a manner as to reduce the risk of a short-circuit to a minimum (a
short-circuit-proof and earth-fault-proof wiring is recommended).
Only one A-ISOMETER® may be connected to an external TEST or RESET
button. A galvanic parallel connection of several TEST and RESET inputs for
collective testing of A-ISOMETER®s is not permitted.
External coupling devices connected via the terminal AK cannot be switched
off via the internal coupling relays. If no coupling device is used, the terminal
AK remains free.

The maximum DC voltage is the voltage permitted to occur in the AC part of
an IT system to PE when the IRDH275 is coupled with AGH204S-4 in this
part of the system. This voltage is dependent on the level of the nominal voltage, the type of rectification 6 pulse, 12 pulse,...), the type of converter intermediate circuit (current... or voltage...), and the converter technology. In
case of converters, the maximum DC voltage in the intermediate circuit usually corresponds to the phase-to-phase voltage of the supplying AC system
multiplied by 1.414.

TGH1361en/11.2009

Connection
In case of current-controlled intermediate circuits of frequency converters,
higher DC voltages are to be expected.
The given voltage values for AC/DC systems take into account values found
by previous experience (factor 1.414 between DC voltage and AC voltage).
The maximum DC voltage in case of insulation faults in the DC part of the
IT system, for example converter intermediate circuit, is DC 1840 V. From
this, the maximum nominal AC voltage is calculated:

5.2 Menu structure and menu mode
Switchover to the menu mode
After pressing the MENU key, you can change from the standard mode to the
menu mode. From the menu mode you can link to the different sub menus.
Navigation within the menu
Select the desired menu item using the UP/DOWN keys. The selected menu
item is indicated by a flashing cursor. Press the ENTER key to open the associated sub menu.
Use the UP/DOWN keys again to select the desired parameters. Move the
cursor to the edit field by pressing the ENTER key.
If you have reached the end of the main menu list, it will be indicated by the
"Arrow UP" symbol.
Changing the parameters
When password protection is activated, indicated by the symbol "padlock
closed" , the first thing to enter is the correct password before the parameters can be changed using the UP/DOWN keys. Entering the correct
password once allows all parameters to be changed as long as you do not
leave the menu.
Changing the parameter usually has an immediate effect on the measuring
and alarm functions. The changed parameter is stored in a volatile memory
by pressing the ENTER or ESC key after returning to the sub menu (flashing
cursor in column 1). During menu operations, all measuring and alarm functions carry on working as usual in the background.
Changing from the menu mode to the standard mode
Pressing the ESC key allows fast changing from the menu mode to the standard mode. Thus, the menu item "EXIT" need not to be activated. Automatic
switchover from the menu mode to the standard mode takes place when no
key is pressed for approximately 5 minutes in a main or sub menu.

5.6 Menu COM SETUP: Setting the BMS interface
5.6.1 Bus address „Addr:“ (IRDH275B)
This menu item is used to set the BMS bus address of the IRDH275. Since
there are several A-ISOMETERs in one system, take care that the bus address
is not assigned twice.
The device is factory set to address 3 and hence acts as a slave.
If several IRDH275 are operated on one BMS bus, the addresses of other
A-ISOMETERs must be assigned one after the other, since only one device may represent the Master.
5.6.2 ISOnet function (IRDH275B)
In the ISOnet = ON sub menu of the COM SETUP, the ISOnet function can
be set. The ISOnet function of all A-ISOMETERs existing in the system must
be in "ON" position.
A BMS Master with the ISOnet function activated, controls the ISOnet slave
devices via the BMS bus. If an A-ISOMETER® has completed the measuring
cycle, the permission for insulation measurement is given from the ISOnet
Master to the next slave. During the measurement process carried out by an
A-ISOMETER®, all other A-ISOMETERs® are in the STANDBY mode.
5.6.3 ISO monitor (IRDH275B)
This function allows to query the current measured value as well as the messages of all bus-capable A-ISOMETERs existing in the BMS network. After selecting the bus address, the entire information stored by the selected device
is indicated on the display. The display indication is structured similar to the
standard indication, but instead of the indication of the measuring pulse, the
selected bus address is indicated. Without pressing a key, the indication
changes to the standard indication of the IRDH275B after about five minutes.
If there is no information available from the selected A-ISOMETER®, the
message "!!!!NO DATA!!!!" will be displayed.

6.2 RS485 interface with BMS protocol (IRDH275B)
The RS485 interface galvanically isolated from the device electronics and current output serves as a physical transmission medium for the BMS protocol.
If several IRDH275B or other bus-capable devices are interconnected in a
network via the BMS bus, the BMS bus must be terminated at both ends with
a 120 Ω resistor.
An RS485 network that is not terminated, is likely to get instable and may
result in malfunctions. Only the first and the last device in one line may be
terminated. Devices in between must not be terminated with 120 Ω. Hence,
stub feeders in the network must not be terminated. The length of the stub
feeders is restricted to 1 meter.

6.3 Topology RS485 network (IRDH275B)
The optimum topology for the RS485 network is a daisy-chain connection.
In this connection, device 1 is connected to device 2, device 2 to device 3,
device 3 to device n etc. The RS485 network represents a continuous path
without branches.

6.3.3 Wiring
A suitable type of cable for the wiring of the RS485 network is:
screened cable, core diameter 0.6 mm
(e.g. J-Y(St)Y 2 x 0.6), screen on one side connected to earth (PE).
Connection to the terminals A and B.
The number of bus nodes is restricted to 32 devices. When more devices are
to be connected, Bender recommends to use an RS485 repeater DI1.

The BMS bus protocol works according to the MASTER-SLAVE principle.
That means that one device represents the MASTER while all other bus nodes
are SLAVES. It is important that only one MASTER is present in each network. All bus nodes are identified by a unique address. The MASTER scans
all other devices on the bus cyclically, listens to their signals and then carries
out specific commands. Bus address 1 must be assigned to the Master, thus
to one of the IRDH275B devices.
6.4.1 BMS Master
A Master can query all warning and operating messages from a slave.
If the bus address 1 has been selected for one IRDH275B, this device automatically represents the Master, that means that all addresses between 1 and
150 are cyclically scanned via the BMS bus for alarm and operating messages.
If the Master receives no answer from five subsequent addresses, the scanning cycle is started again. If the Master recognizes incorrect answers from a
slave, the fault message "Fault RS485" is issued by the Master.

Rs=011k
Faults may be caused when:
z addresses are assigned twice
z a second master exists on the BMS bus
z interference signals occur on the bus lines
z a defective device is connected to the bus
z terminating resistors are not activated

6.4.2 BMS Slave
All IRDH275B are factory set to slave mode (address 3). In a BMS network,
one address must be selected from the address range 2...30 for each slave.
There may be no gaps of more than five subsequent addresses, so that all
slaves can be scanned by the Master. For IRDH275B a BMS address can be
selected from the address range 1...30. When assigning the addresses, also
other devices such as the EDS47x-12 must be considered.
The correct reception of BMS data is indicated by a flashing point on the display on the right of the measuring pulse indication.

If no flashing point appears, it may be attributed to the following:
z no Master available in the network
z more than one Master available in the network
z RS485 interface (terminal A/B) not connected or reversed

bus, connect a 120 Ω resistor to the terminals A and B.
z Switch the supply voltage U
z Determine one IRDH275 as the Master and assign address 1.

other bus nodes (see table below).
z Check whether a flashing point appears on all devices
(BMS commands are being received).
z The sub menu "ISO-Monitor" in the COM SETUP menu allows insulation values
of the A-ISOMETERs® to be queried. Before starting the query, the
address of the A-ISOMETER® has to be entered.
