Vs Earth (Terminal 3)
The Vs Supply Earth must be connected to a frame or common earth via a minimum 1.5mm
2
conductor.
VDC Out (Terminals 4)
Output voltage source, used in conjunction with the digital inputs.
Digital Inputs (Terminals 5, 6, & 7)
The PF1 has three (fixed) digital input terminals: Reset (N/O), Start (N/O) & Stop (N/C), respectively.
To wire in a digital input, the contact of the actuator must be wired between the VDC terminal (4) and
the input’s terminal. When the contact closes, the VDC voltage will be applied to the input terminal,
thereby
“closing” the input.
The PF1 r
elay’s digital inputs are intended to be wired to the output contacts of a PLC and/or to
external pushbuttons.
NOTE
The maximum allowable loop impedance for each of the digital inputs is
1kΩ. Ensure that the impedance at the time of installation is sufficiently
under this, such that any circuit degradation over time
– due to contact
deterioration, oxidisation etc.
– will not increase the impedance above
this limit.
PI1 Input (Terminal 8)
Programmable input 1.
This input is able to be programmed to different uses from within
the PF1’s Smart Tools software. See
Section 11.4 for further details.
NOTE
The maximum allowable loop impedance
for the PI input is 1kΩ. Ensure
that the impedance at the time of installation is sufficiently under this,
such that any circuit degradation over time
– due to contact
deterioration, oxidisation etc.
– will not increase the impedance above
this limit.
Terminals 9, 10 & 11
Future use, do not connect anything to these terminals.
K2, K3, K4 Output Relays (Terminals 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 & 17)
The functionality of the K2, K3 & K4 Output Relays
can be customised to the user’s requirements using
the Smart Tools software. These relays are normally open, but can be individually programmed to
operate as normally closed relays if desired (all relays will revert to normally open on Vs power loss).
These output relays are primarily intended to be used to switch indication circuits into PLCs and
Lamps. Depending on the application, they can also be used to add a level of redundancy to the
operation of K1.
Refer to Section 11.5 for further details.
