6.1 Connection conditions

WARNING
L
Danger! Electric voltage!
The entire connection of the device must take place while the device is de-energized.
The mixed connection of safety extra-low voltage and dangerous contact voltage to the
relay is not permitted. Apart from the relays and the supply voltage, only energy-limited circuits according to
IEC/EN 61010-1 may be connected.
Danger if protective ground is disconnected
The ground connection must be made before all other connections.
NOTICE
Cable heat load
Use suitable cables for temperatures of 5 °C (9 °F) above ambient temperature.
Incorrect supply voltage can damage the device or cause malfunctions
Before commissioning the device, make sure that the supply voltage matches the
voltage specifications on the nameplate.
Check emergency shutdown for device
Provide suitable switch or circuit breaker in building installation. This switch must be
provided close to the device (within easy reach) and marked as a circuit breaker.
Protect the device from overload
Provide overload protection (nominal current = 10 A) for power cable.
Incorrect wiring may result in the device being destroyed
Note terminal designation on the rear of the device.
Energy-rich transients in the case of long signal lines
Install suitable overvoltage protection (e.g. E+H HAW562) upstream.

6.2 Connection instructions

6.2.1 Cable specification

Cable specification, spring terminals
All connections on the rear of the device are designed as pluggable screw or spring terminal blocks with reverse polarity protection. This makes the connection very quick and easy. The spring terminals are unlocked with a slotted screwdriver (size 0).
Please note the following when connecting:
• Wire cross-section, auxiliary voltage output, digital I/O and analog I/O: max. 1.5 mm (14 AWG) (spring terminals)
• Wire cross-section, mains: max. 2.5 mm2 (13 AWG) (screw terminals)
• Wire cross-section, relays: max. 2.5 mm2 (13 AWG) (spring terminals)
• Stripping length: 10 mm (0.39 in)
No ferrules must be used when connecting flexible wires to spring terminals.
Shielding and grounding
Optimum electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) can only be guaranteed if the system components and, in particular, the lines - both sensor lines and communication lines - are
2
Endress+Hauser 13

Frequency
shielded and the shield forms as complete a cover as possible. A shielded line must be used for sensor lines that are longer than 30 m. A shield coverage of 90% is ideal. In addition, make sure not to cross sensor lines and communication lines when routing them. Connect the shield as often as possible to the reference ground to ensure optimum EMC protection for the different communication protocols and the connected sensors.
To comply with requirements, three different types of shielding are possible:
• Shielding at both ends
• Shielding at one end on the supply side with capacitance termination at the device
• Shielding at one end on the supply side
Experience shows that the best results with regard to EMC are achieved in most cases in installations with one-sided shielding on the supply side (without capacitance termination at the device). Appropriate internal device wiring measures must be taken to allow unrestricted operation when EMC interference is present. These measures have been taken into account for this device. Operation in the event of disturbance variables as per NAMUR NE21 is thus guaranteed.
Where applicable, national installation regulations and guidelines must be observed during the installation! Where there are large differences in potential between the individual grounding points, only one point of the shielding is connected directly with the reference ground.
If the shielding of the cable is grounded at more than one point in systems without potential matching, mains frequency equalizing currents can occur. These can damage the signal cable or significantly impact signal transmission. In such cases the shielding of the signal cable is to be grounded on one side only, i.e. it may not be connected to the ground terminal of the housing. The shield that is not connected should be insulated!

Only one interface can be used at any one time (RS232 or RS485).

6.3.9 Ethernet connection (rear of device)

The Ethernet interface can be used to integrate the device via a hub or switch into a PC network (TCP/ IP Ethernet). A standard patch cable (e.g. CAT5E) can be used for the connection. Using DHCP, the device can be fully integrated into an existing network without the need for additional configuration. The device can be accessed from every PC in the network.
• Standard: 10/100 Base T/TX (IEEE 802.3)
• Socket: RJ-45
• Max. cable length: 100 m
• Galvanic isolation; testing voltage: 500 V

Meaning of the LEDs
Beneath the Ethernet connection (see rear of device) there are two light emitting diodes which indicate the status of the Ethernet interface.
• Yellow LED: link signal; is lit when the device is connected to a network. If this LED is not
illuminated then communication is impossible.
• Green LED: Tx/Rx; flashes irregularly if the device is transmitting or receiving data.

6.3.10 Option: Ethernet Modbus TCP slave

The Modbus TCP interface is used to connect to higher-ranking SCADA systems (Modbus master) to transmit all measured values and process values. Up to 12 analog inputs and 6 digital inputs can be transmitted via Modbus and stored in the device. Form a physical point of view, the Modbus TCP interface is identical to the Ethernet interface.

6.3.11 Option: Modbus RTU slave

The Modbus RTU (RS485) interface is galvanically isolated (testing voltage: 500 V) and is used to connect to higher-ranking systems to transmit all measured values and process values. Up to 12 analog inputs and 6 digital inputs can be transmitted via Modbus and stored in the device. Connection is via the combined RS232/RS485 interface.
Modbus TCP and Modbus RTU cannot be used at the same time.

Information on USB devices
The USB devices are detected by the "plug-and-play" function. If several devices of the same type are connected, only the USB device that was connected first is available. Settings for the USB devices are made in the setup. A maximum of 8 external USB devices (incl. USB hub) can be connected if they do not exceed the maximum load of 500 mA. If overloaded, the corresponding USB devices are automatically disabled.
Requirements with regard to an external USB hub
The USB devices are detected by the "plug-and-play" function. If several devices of the same type are connected, only the USB device that was connected first is available. Settings for the USB devices are made in the setup. A maximum of 8 external USB devices (incl. USB hub) can be connected if they do not exceed the maximum load of 500 mA. If overloaded, the corresponding USB devices are automatically disabled.
Requirements with regard to the USB stick

The USB stick must not be connected to the device via a USB hub. Interference from other USB devices may result in data loss.
Requirements with regard to an external USB keyboard
The system only supports keyboards which can be addressed using generic drivers (HID keyboard - Human Interface Device). Special keys are not supported (e.g. Windows keys). Users can only enter characters that are available in the entry character set of the device. All unsupported characters are rejected. It is not possible to connect a wireless keyboard. The following keyboard layouts are supported: DE, CH, FR, USA, USA International, UK, IT. See setting under "Setup -> Advanced setup -> System -> Keyboard layout".
Requirements for the SD card
Industrial grade SD-HC cards with max. 32 GB are supported.
Use only the industrial grade SD cards described in the "Accessories" section of the Operating Instructions. These have been tested by the manufacturer and guaranteed to function faultlessly in the device. →  61
The SD card must be formatted to FAT or FAT32. NTFS format is not readable.
