Relay Output Module EP-2714
Solid-state Relay Output Module EP-2814
are primarily used for the incorporation of decentralized actuators.
All outputs are designed for DC-13 discrete outputs according to DIN EN 60947-5-1 and
IEC 61131-2 specifications. Frequencies of up to 1 kHz are possible except for relay and
SSR output modules. Protection of the outputs ensures maximum system safety (Relay
and SSR modules do not support short circuit protection). This consists of an automatic
restart following a short-circuit.
The digital relay output module EP-2714 can control up to 4 discrete outputs, each with
a maximum of 6 A. Each connector features a potential-free changeover contact. The
relay coils are supplied with power from the output current path (I
The solid-state relay output module EP-2814 uses four semiconductor switches to
control up to 4 discrete outputs, each with a maximum of 0.5 A at 255 V AC. The
switching characteristics of the semiconductor switch have it as being closed when the
voltage crosses zero and open when the current crosses zero. Each connector features
a potential-free NO (Normally Open) contact.
The wiring connectors on each module are color coded for ease of wiring. Refer to the
section, Field Wiring for additional information.
Each module features a type plate, which includes identification information, the key
technical specifications, and a block diagram. In addition, a QR code allows for direct
online access to the associated documentation. The software for reading the QR code
must support inverted QR codes.
Markers are available as accessories for labelling equipment. Each I/O module can be
labelled using the markers to ensure clear identification when replacing individual
modules or electronic units.
A green Module Status LED indicates there is communication on the system bus.
Additionally, there are Yellow LEDs for each input to indicate when it is active. Refer to
the section, LEDs for additional information.
The RSTi-EP station is usually installed on a horizontally positioned DIN rail. Installation
on vertically positioned DIN rails is also possible.
Modules should to be allowed to de-energize for a minimum 10 seconds after power
down, prior to starting any maintenance activity.
Refer to the RSTi-EP Slice I/O Module User Manual (GFK-2958) for additional information.
