Common Wiring for PLC Inputs

EB3L Discrete Output Barrier

8- and 16-circuit types are available in common wiring
types, ideal for connection to PLCs (DC voltage only).

Connector Type

MIL connecotr on the non-hazardous side

• Easy connection to PLCs

• Wiring is cut by 90% (compared with IDEC’s 16-circuit EB3C)

• Various 20-pin MIL connectors can be connected.

Lamp Test

When checking the lamp lighting without using the EB3L discrete output barrier,
first make sure that the atmosphere is free from explosive gases. Connect a 12V
DC power supply and a pro tection resistor of 1 kΩ in series to turn on the pilot

Diagram Symbols

One intrinsically safe circuit is a connection consisting
of one or more illuminated units connected to a common
line.

All output lines are wired to a common line inside the intrinsically safe equipment (one common line per intrinsically safe circuit) - DC input models only.

Each output line of the EB3L makes up one independent intrinsically safe circuit of a pilot light or buzzer.

The following example illustrates the wiring for a total of 10 contacts used by three illuminated
pushbuttons (LB1 to LB3) and three illuminated selector switches (LS1 to LS3).

All input lines are wired to a common line outside the intrinsically safe equipment (one common line per intrinsically safe circuit).

Precautions for Operation

Installation of EB3L Discrete Output Barriers

1. The EB3L can be installed in any direction.

2. Install the EB3L discrete output barrier in a safe area (non-hazard ous area) in
accordance with intrinsic safety ratings and parameters. To avoid mechanical
shocks, install the EB3L in an enclosure which suppresses shocks.

3. When installing or wiring the EB3L, prevent electromag netic and electrostatic
inductions in the intrinsically safe circuit. Also prevent the intrinsically safe
circuits from contacting with another intrinsically safe circuit and any other
circuits.

Maintain at least 50 mm clearance, or provide a metallic separating board

between the intrinsically safe circuit and non-intrinsically safety circuit. When
providing a metallic separating board, make sure that the board fits closely to
the enclosure (top, bottom, and both sides). Allowable clearance between the
enclosure and board is 1.5 mm at the maximum.

The clearance of 50 mm between the intrinsically safe circuit and non-intrin-

sically safe circuit may not be suffi cient when a motor circuit or high-voltage
circuit is installed nearby. In this case, provide a wider clearance between the
circuits referring to 6. (3) “Minimum Parallel Distance between the Intrinsi­cally Safe Circuit and Other Circuits.”

www.IDEC.com

4. In order to prevent contact between intrinsically safe cir cuits and non-intrin­sically safe circuits, mount EB3L units with terminals arranged in the same
direction.

Non-intrinsically
Safe Circuit

Intrinsically Safe Circuit

5. Maintain at least 6 mm (or 3 mm according to IEC60079-11: 1999) clearance
between the terminal of intrinsically safe circuit and the grounded metal part
of a metal enclosure, and between the relay terminal block of an intrinsically
safe circuit and the grounded metal part of a metal enclosure.

6. For installing the EB3L, mount on a 35-mm-wide DIN rail or directly on a
panel using screws. The EB3L can be installed in any direction. Make sure to
install securely to withstand vibration. When mounting on a DIN rail, push in
the clamp completely. Use the BNL6 end clips on both sides of the EB3L to
prevent from moving sideways.

7. Excessive extraneous noise may cause malfunction and damage to the EB3L.
When extraneous noise activates the voltage limiting circuit (thyristor),
remove the noise source and restore the power.

Barriers

EB3L

Terminal Wiring

1. Using a ø5.5 mm or smaller screw driver, tighten the ter minal screws (includ­ing unused terminal screws) to a torque of 0.6 to 1.0 N·m (recommended
value).

2. Make sure that IP20 is achieved when wiring. Use insu lation tubes on bare
crimping terminals.

3. To prevent disengaged wires from contacting with other intrinsically safe
circuits, bind together the wires of one intrinsically safe circuit.

4. When the adjacent terminal is connected to another intrinsically safe circuit,
provide an insulation distance of at least 6 mm.

Signal Input

1. Connect the EB3L to the switches or output equipment which have a low leak­age current (0.1 mA maximum).

2. The EB3L is equipped with power supply. Do not apply external power to the
EB3L.

3. When connecting the EB3L’s of connector type in paral lel, make sure that the
same power supply is used. When using C1 and C2 terminals to supply power
to out side equipment, maintain the current at 50 mA maxi mum.

Power Voltage

1. Do not apply an excessive power voltage, otherwise the EB3L may be damaged.

2. The EB3L of AC power type may operate at a low volt age (approx. 20V).

Pilot Lights and Buzzers in the Hazardous Area

1. EB3P and IPL1 units shown on page 238 can be used with the EB3L. Buzzers
cannot be connected in common wiring.

2. Install the EB3P and IPL1 units on enclosures of IP20 or higher protection.
Use a metallic enclosure with magne sium content of 7.5% or less (steel and
aluminum are acceptable).

3. When wiring, make sure of correct polarities of the EB3P and IPL1.

4. Certification mark is supplied with the units. Attach it on the visible area of
the EB3P or IPL1 (for Japan applica tion).

5. EB3P (except for buzzers) and IPL1 illuminated units, which are simple appara­tuses in accordance with rele vant standards of each country, can be installed
in the hazardous area and connected to the EB3L located in the safe area.

6. When connecting illuminated switches to the EB3L discrete output barrier and
the EB3C discrete input barrier, a maximum of 16 channels can be connected
in common wiring.

Wiring for Intrinsic Safety

1. The voltage applied on the general circuit connected to the non-intrinsically
safe circuit terminals of the EB3L discrete output barrier must be 250V AC,
50/60Hz (ULrating: 125V AC 50/60Hz), or 250V DC (UL rating: 125V DC) at the
maximum under any conditions, including the voltage of the power line and
the internal circuit.

Safety Precautions

2. When wiring, take into consideration the prevention of electromagnetic and
electrostatic charges on intrinsically safe circuits. Also, prevent intrinsically
safe circuits from contacting with other circuits.

3. The intrinsically safe circuits must be separated from non-intrinsically safe cir­cuits. Contain intrinsically safe circuits in a metallic tube or duct, or separate
the intrinsi cally safe circuits referring to the table at right.

Note: Cables with a magnetic shield, such as a metallic sheath, prevent elec tromagnetic induction and

electrostatic induction, however, a non-mag netic shield prevents electrostatic induction only. For
non-magnetic shields, take a preventive measure against electromagnetic induction.

Finely twisted pair cables prevent electromagnetic induc tion. Adding shields

to the twisted pair cables provides protection against electrostatic induction.

Minimum Parallel Distance between the Intrinsically Safe Cir­cuit and Other Circuits (mm)

1. When identifying intrinsically safe circuits by color, use light blue terminal
blocks and cables.

2. When using two or more EB3L’s to set up one intrinsi cally safe circuit in the
common wiring configuration, interconnect two neutral terminals (N1 through
N10) on each EB3L between adjacent EB3L’s in parallel.

3. Make sure that the power of the EB3L, pilot lights, and other connected units
are turned off before starting inspection or replacement.

4. When wiring the intrinsically safe circuit, determine the dis tance to satisfy the
wiring parameters shown below. Note that parameters are different between
separate wiring and common wiring and depend on the connected units, such
as pilot lights, illuminated pushbuttons, and buzzers.
a) Wiring capacitance Cw ≤ Co – Ci
Co: Maximum external capacitance of the EB3L
Ci: Internal capacitance of the connected unit

b) Wiring inductance Lw ≤ Lo – Li
Lo: Maximum external inductance of the EB3L
Li: Internal inductance of the connected unit

c) Wiring resistance ≤ Rw
Rw: Allowable wiring resistance

d) Allowable wiring distance D (km) is the smallest value of those
calculated from the capacitance, inductance, and resistance.

D ≤ Cw/C C (nF/km): Capacitance of cable per km

D ≤ Lw/L L (mH/km): Inductance of cable per km
D ≤ Rw/2R R (Ω/km): Resistance of cable per km

Note: For the details of wiring the intrinsically safe circuits, refer to a rel evant test guideline for

explosion-proof electric equipment in each country.
