Auxiliary voltage is 24 V DC.
The two connector terminals for the negative poles are connected with
one another inside the device, as is also the case for the two positive
poles.
In this way, supply power can be looped through to several R6000
controllers. The terminals have a maximum current carrying capacity of
10 A (also in the event of malfunction) which may not be exceeded!
The terminal block for auxiliary voltage is black.
A completely separate safety power supply system is to be used for
operation of the instrument.
Binary I/Os which are configured as outputs connect the auxiliary voltage positive pole by means of a semiconductor switch. The load (SSR,
controller input etc.) is connected to the auxiliary voltage negative pole.
Three SSRs can be connected in series for controlling 3-phase heaters.
Maximum load for each individual output is 500 mA, with a limit of 3 A
per controller. All outputs are safeguarded by means of integrated,
self-restoring overload protection.

the overload have to be eliminated, all other outputs must be
de-energized as well in order to allow for self-restoration of the
circuit breaker. Self-restoration may take several minutes.
If the I/Os are used as inputs, control is accomplished either by means
of an active positive signal at the auxiliary voltage negative pole, or with
a floating contact which switches the auxiliary voltage positive pole to
the input.
The assignment of I/Os to channels and functions can be freely configured via the interface.
Before I/Os used as inputs are configured as such, an active
output signal can be read out depending upon configuration.
The output of the connected device may thus be damaged as
a result.

No connections may be made to the terminal.
If impermissible measured values should occur when using insulated
thermocouples, all negative legs at the insulated thermocouples
should be connected to each other. If necessary, they can be connected to the switch cabinet ground terminal.
3-wire connection is used for Pt100 sensors.
In the event of 2-wire connection, the negative terminal must be connected to the terminal at the controller.
The terminals are connected with each other internally.
If Pt100 sensors with 4-wire connection are used, the fourth wire may
not be connected at all.
The reference junction (CJ) remains attached also for PT100 sensors.
4.5Remote Cold Junction (CJ)

4.6Additional Binary Inputs / Outputs (I/O)
Device variants including feature A1 have four additional I/Os.
All of the specifications included in chapter 4.3 on page 9 apply to
these I/Os as well.
No connections may be made at the AO negative terminals at the
same terminal block.
4.7Additional Continuous Outputs (AO)

Commercially available current transformers with max. 1 A secondary
current are connected to terminals HC k and l. Compliance voltage is
max. 2 V.
Three inputs are provided for monitoring 3-phase current.
Several control loops are monitored via summation current principle.
If the terminal block is removed during operation, excessive
voltage occurs at the secondary side of the current transformer.
In order to enable more accurate current monitoring, current fluctuations which result from line voltage fluctuations can be compensated.
A voltage transformer with a secondary open-circuit voltage of 12 to
40 V is connected to terminals HV u and v to this end. A representative
phase voltage from the heater power supply is used at the primary
side.
All interconnected transformers must assure safe electrical separation,
and may not be connected to each other at the secondary side.

connection to a laptop or a notebook. This can be ordered as an
accessory (article no. GTZ 3241000R0001).
With the CAN bus and Profibus variants (features F1 and F2), the service interface can be used independent of bus operation.
With RS 485 variants (features F3, F4 and F7), communication
is only possible via the service interface after the 4-pole bus
plug has been removed, or when the bus is not in use.
4.9.2 Bus Interfaces
The following points must be observed when wiring the bus interfaces:
–Corresponding terminals must all be connected in parallel.
–Wiring must be executed from device to device, devices may not
be star-connected.
–The two bus ends should be terminated with characteristic wave
impedance.
This is accomplished by setting the “R” switch at the R6000 to
“on”.

7Parameters Configuration and Operation
Information regarding parameters configuration and operation of the
R6000 is included in the comprehensive operating instructions.
These are available from the internet at www.gossenmetrawatt.de.
Read the operating instructions completely and carefully before using the
device, and follow all instructions included therein.
The operating instructions should be made available to all users.
8Maintenance and Service
The R6000 controller does not require maintenance at regular intervals.
If the controller should nevertheless require replacement, it can be
removed from the rail by pulling on the tab at the bottom of the device.
This disengages the top-hat rail mount and the controller can be
removed by lifting it up and forward.
Before replacement, the DIP switches at the replacement device must
be configured to match those at the original device (bus address and
selection of Pt100 or thermocouple).
The replacement device is attached to the top-hat rail with the mounting hooks at the rear, and is snapped into place by gently pushing
down and back.
Screw or clamp-type terminal blocks can plugged from one device to
the next for quick device replacement if service is required.
