Intended use
The CONTROLLINO PLC is a small computer (μC = microcontroller) with peripherals based on the
"Open-Source Arduino platform". It is installed in a DIN rail housing.
With this product various control and automation tasks can be solved. You have to create appropriate programmes to do this.
On the manufacturers website of CONTROLLINO (http://www.controllino.biz) you will find various demo programs and libraries that will get you started with programming.
For the connection of external sensors and devices always mind the corresponding sections in
this manual.
Any use other than described in this manual is not permitted. Besides possible damages to the
device, this is also associated with dangers like short circuit or electric shock.
The CONTROLLINO PLC must not be altered or modified. The safety instructions as well as the
maximum permissible operating and ambient conditions given in the chapter "technical data"
must be observed.
Read the whole instruction manual carefully and attentive. It contains important information on
mounting, operating and handling your CONTROLLINO.

Safety Instructions
In case of damage caused by non-observance of these operating instructions the warranty will
be voided! We will not accept any liability for damages.
In case of damage to property or personal injury caused by improper use or neglecting the
safety instructions, we will not accept any liability! In such cases the guarantee / warranty will
be voided!
For safety and authorization reasons (CE) any unauthorized modification and / or altera-
tion of this product is not permitted.
Do not use this product in hospitals or medical facilities. Do not use the product in safety-
relevant areas.
Switch off the supply voltage of this product as well as of attached devices before con-
necting or disconnecting them.
Do not operate the product in an environment with easily inflammable objects, liquids or
gases or in explosive areas.
Make sure that all electrical connections, connection lines between the device and possi-
bly other extension lines are set up according to regulations and in accordance with the
instruction manual.
Never operate the unit immediately after taking it from a cold into a warm room. This
might lead to water condensation within the unit, which could possibly destroy it.
The product is mounted in a housing for DIN rail mounting (top hat rail). To ensure safety,
at 230V~ and relay voltages greater than 24V the module must be operated only in a
closed control cabinet or in a control box with veneer connection terminals.
The product is connected to other devices via its connection terminals (screw terminals).
The low-voltage terminals and the relay terminals for 230V~ need to be distinguished. In
case of an accidental mix-up there is potential fire hazard through shorts. This might damage the device and connected modules!

In case you should not be aware of the correct connection, or if any questions should arise
about the functioning, the safety or the connection of the device that are not taken care
of in the instruction manual, please contact our technical hotline or a specialist.
In schools, training institutions, hobby and business self-help workshops, the operation of
the product must be supervised by trained staff.
In commercial facilities, the accident prevention regulations of the Association of Profes-
sional Trade Associations for electrical installations and equipment need to be observed.
Do not litter packaging material, it might become a dangerous toy for children.

Installation
For its proper use, CONTROLLINO PLCs must be mounted on a DIN rail, for example in a distribution box that is used for housing circuit breakers and relays and is commonly used in any home
installation.
Electronic components of the product can become warm during operation. Take care to
prevent heat accumulation through proper air circulation around the unit.
Do not mount the unit in insulating material or next to heat sources such as heating pipes,
radiators or electrical products such as motors or similar products. Mind the maximum
temperature specifications in the technical specifications!
The product must not be operated or mounted in or under water.
Be careful when drilling or tightening cables or wires in order not to damage them.
During the mounting process, make sure that no moisture, water, dust or dirt gets inside
the housing. This might destroy the product!
Mount the carrier system first, for example the distribution box.
Arrange the CONTROLLINO controls and other assemblies in your overall application in the
distribution box. Installation is done simply by snapping the modules onto the DIN rail.
If necessary let your overall installation be checked by a competent person (electrician)!
Veneer at least all relay clamps where you are passing through 230V / AC.

Connection and operating elements
The CONTROLLINO PLCs are equipped with screw terminals for the connection of external components. The wire strength for the screw terminals at the bottom should have a recommended
cross-section of 0.2 to 2.5mm² and the above screw terminals should have a recommended crosssection of 0.2 to 1.5 mm².
In addition, the CONTROLLINO PLCs have one or more pinheader connectors with a grid size (RM)
of 2.54mm. Here you can attach jackbars with flat ribbon cables or so-called "jump-wire" for experimental setups. The following illustrations show the three types of CONTROLLINO controls and
their connection and operating elements.
INFO: on http://www.controllino.biz you can download a "PINOUT table". In this table you can
easily see all internal wiring between terminals and the microcontroller.

Supply Voltage Terminal (12 / 24V DC)
The connection "12V / 24V" of the upper terminal block and the adjacent "GND" connection is
used for the voltage / current supply of the CONTROLLINO controls. The CONTROLLINO controls
can alternatively be operated with a 12V or 24V voltage supply. The permissible supply voltage is
12V (between 10.8V-13.2V) or 24V (between 21.6V-26.4V) (DC, direct current).
IMPORTANT! Please make sure only to use a stabilized supply voltage!
The maximal supply current differs according to the type of CONTROLLINO you are using. You can
find it in the following table.
CONTROLLINO
Maximum Supply Current
MINI
8A
MAXI
20A
MEGA
30A
Exceeding the maximum current would lead to a fusing of the internal fuse of the CONTROLLINO.
The correct voltage supply is indicated by two LEDs with the description "12V" and "24V" on the
front panel of the unit. The LEDs light up differently, depending on the supply voltage of "12V" or
"24V". The following table shows the states.
The LEDs for the operating voltage states are:
12V LED
24V LED
State

orange
12V supply voltage active

supported range
INFO: After connecting the supply voltage or pressing the Reset-button CONTROLLINO performs
all necessary initializations and then immediately starts the loaded user program.
