Connecting the power supply

Note

Connecting the power supply 1:

Damage to the EK1000 possible!

The EK1000 may be damaged during wiring.

  • The cables for the power supply should only be connected in de-energized state!

An external voltage source providing a 24 V DC voltage (-15 % / +20 %) is required for the power supply terminal.
The power supply terminal must supply 4 A at 24 V to ensure operation of the EK1000 in all cases.

The cabling of the EK1000 in the control cabinet must be done in accordance with the standard EN 60204-1:2006 PELV = Protective Extra Low Voltage:

Description

1

The upper spring terminals labeled "24 V" and "0 V" supply the EK1000 and the terminal bus (data transmission via K- or E-bus) with voltage.

2

The spring terminals labeled "+", "-" and "PE" supply the Bus Terminals with voltage via the power contacts and the sensors or actuators connected to the Bus Terminals.

Open and close spring terminals

The leads of an external voltage source are connected to spring terminals on the power supply. Connect the lines as follows::

Cable cross section

0,5 ... 2,5 mm2

AWG 20 .. AWG 14

Stripping length

8 ... 9 mm

0.33 inch

Connecting the power supply 3:
(1) Insertion screwdriver, (2) Insertion of the cable, (3) Loosen the screwdriver.

The voltage source has been connected to the power supply unit successfully when the two upper power supply terminal LEDs light up in green.

Connecting the power supply 4:

  • The left LED (Us) indicates the supply of the basic CPU module and terminal bus.
  • The red LED (Up) indicates the Bus Terminal supply via the power contacts.

Note

Connecting the power supply 5:

Damage of device possible while interrupting / switching off the power supply

To switch off the EK1000, do not disconnect the ground (0 V), because otherwise current may continue to flow via the shielding, depending on the device, and damage the EK1000 or peripheral devices.

  • Always disconnect the 24 V line. Devices connected to the EK1000, which have their own power supply (e.g. a Panel) must have the same potential for "PE" and "0 V" as the EK1000 have (no potential difference).
