1.3. Installation
The device is only allowed to be installed and operated within the permissible temperature range.
Please ensure an adequate ventilation and avoid all direct contact between the device and hot or
aggressive gases and liquids.
Before installation or maintenance, the unit must be disconnected from all voltage-sources. Further
it must be ensured that no danger can arise by touching the disconnected voltage-sources.
Devices which are supplied by AC-voltages must be connected exclusively by switches, respectively
circuit-breakers with the low voltage network. The switch or circuit-breaker must be placed as near
as possible to the device and further indicated as separator.
Incoming as well as outgoing wires and wires for extra low voltages (ELV) must be separated from
dangerous electrical cables (SELV circuits) by using a double resp. increased isolation.
All selected wires and isolations must be conform to the provided voltage- and temperature-ranges.
Further all country- and application-specific standards, which are relevant for structure, form and
quality of the wires, must be ensured. Indications about the permissible wire cross-sections for
wiring are described in the Technical Specifications.
Before first start-up it must be ensured that all connections and wires are firmly seated and secured
in the screw terminals. All (inclusively unused) terminals must be fastened by turning the relevant
screws clockwise up to the stop.
Overvoltages at the connections must be limited to values in accordance to the overvoltage
category II.
For placement, wiring, environmental conditions as well as shielding and earthing/grounding of the
supply lines the general standards of industrial automation industry and the specific shielding
instructions of the manufacturer are valid. Please find all respective hints and rules on
www.motrona.com/download.html --> “[General EMC Rules for Wiring, Screening and Earthing]”.
1.4. Cleaning, Maintenance and Service Notes
To clean the front of the unit please use only a slightly damp (not wet!), soft cloth. For the rear no

2.2. Function diagram
Dx350_02c_oi_e.doc / Feb-17 Seite 6 / 44
DC version
AC version
The encoder voltage is approx. 1 V lower than
the power supply voltage at terminal 1 and 2
and should be loaded with max. 250 mA.
The encoder voltage is 24 VDC (± 15%) and
should be loaded with max. 150 mA up to 45
degrees Celsius. At higher temperature the
maximum output current is reduced to 80 mA.
3. Electrical Connections
The terminal screws should be tightened with a slotted screwdriver (blade width 2mm).
3.1. DC Power Supply
The unit accepts DC supply from 18 to 30 V at the terminals 1 and 2. The power consumption
depends on the level of the supply voltage with aprox. 100 mA and the additional current required
at the Auxiliary Voltage Output.
All GND terminals are internally interconnected.
3.2. Auxiliary Voltage Output
Terminal 3 and 4 provide an auxiliary output for supply of sensors and encoders.
The output voltage depends on the power supply.

release the lock function of the control or relay outputs.
Wiring of the control inputs:
Unconnected control inputs are always “LOW”.
All inputs are designed to receive impulses from an electronic impulse source.
Notice for mechanical switching contacts:

6.1. Data readout via serial interface
All codes shown in the parameter SERIAL VALUE are available for serial readout by PC or PLC. For
communication the monitors use the Drivecom Protocol according to ISO 1745. All protocol details
can be found in our manual SERPRO_2a.doc which is available for download from our homepage
www.motrona.com.
To request for a data transmission you must send the following request string to the converter:
EOT = control character (Hex 04)
AD1 = unit address, High Byte
AD2 = unit address, Low Byte
C1 = register code, High Byte
C2 = register code, Low Byte
ENQ = control character (Hex 05)
The following example shows the request string for readout of the actual input frequency of a
monitor (Code :1) from a unit with unit address 11:
After a correct request, the unit will respond:
STX = control character (Hex 02)
C1 = register code, High Byte
C2 = register code, Low Byte
xxxxx = readout data
ETX = control character (Hex 03)
BCC = block check character

Mode: 4 Quadrant:
P1(X) must be set to zero. Linearization is only
defined in the positive range and the negative
range will be mirrored symmetric to central
point.
P1(X) can also be set to a negative value. If the
measured value is smaller than P1(X), P1(Y) is
displayed.
6.2. Linearization
The linearization function of this unit allows converting a linear input signal into a non-linear
developing (or vice versa). There are 24 programmable x/y coordinates available, which can be set
in any desired distance over the full conversion range. Between two coordinates, the unit uses
linear interpolation. Therefore it is advisable to use more coordinates in a range with strong curves
and only a few coordinates where the curvature is less.
To specify an individual linearization curve, the parameter LINEARISAZATION MODE must be set to
either 1 QUADRANT or 4 QUADRANT (see following diagram).
The parameters P1(X) to P24(X) are used to specify the coordinates on the x-axis. These are the
measuring values that the unit normally would generate according to the actual input signal.
Now enter the attached values to parameter P1(Y) to P24(Y). These are the values that the unit will
generate instead of the x- values, i.e. P5(Y) replaces P5(X) etc.
The X-Coordinates must use continuously increasing settings, i.e. P1(X) must have the lowest and
P24(X) must have the highest setting. If the measured value is bigger than the last defined X-value,
the corresponding Y-value is displayed.
