PORT 2 Inputs The IQAN-XA2 module has eight (8) voltage inputs VIN-A thru VIN-H for connection of 0-5 Vdc signals. The inputs VIN-E thru VIN-H are multi-purpose and for flexibility may be configured in other ways. The two input pins VIN-E and VIN-G can be configured as frequency inputs for measuring frequency.

IQAN-XA2 Product description Proportional outputs The XA2 module has six (6) double proportional outputs for controlling proportional valves. These outputs can control six bi-directional valve sections or six single solenoid devices (ie. proportional cartridge valves). The proportional outputs can be used in two different modes.
Internal diagnostics Safety Safety Internal diagnostics The module performs a number of self-checks that improve safety. Checks include monitoring of voltage supplies, checksums on memory and a watchdog that monitors software execution. The module is using a real time operating system which supervises software execution.
Mounting the module Mounting Mounting Mounting the module The IQAN module should be mounted according to the following instructions: • Locate the module eliminating the risk for the cabling to be folded, crushed or dam- aged in any way. Ensure the cabling cannot pull, twist or induce sideload on the con- nector.

Addressing/terminating Addressing/terminating Addressing Each IQAN expansion module will have a specific address, enabling the master module to communicate with the modules through the CAN-bus. When operating, the system distinguishes between different modules by first verifying the module type and secondly, through the modules having unique addresses. EXAMPLE If having an expansion module with address 0, the system will denote this one as [module type]-A0, The letter "A"...
Reference voltage, VREF Reference voltage, VREF The IQAN module is internally equipped with a voltage regulator to generate the reference voltage VREF. The standard reference voltage will feed different kinds of sensors and potentiometers. IQAN module +VREF -VREF VREF positions. OTICE It is strongly recommended to use the module’s -VREF and +VREF to all sensors and potentiometers that are connected to the module inputs.
Voltage inputs Voltage inputs Connecting sensors to the voltage inputs The sensor signal range must be 0-5 Vdc. To detect signal errors such as short circuits or interruptions the active signal range be within 0.5-4.5 Vdc. Error detection range Active signal range Error detection range Active signal range.

Voltage inputs Connecting a 2-wire temperature sensor to voltage in When you connect a PTC (positive temperature coefficient) temperature sensor you may need to use a pull up resistor on the input signal. Please check the technical data for your specific temperature sensor. EXAMPLE Connect the negative terminal of the temperature sensor to -VREF, and the signal to VIN-X.
Page 18
Voltage inputs Connecting switches to the voltage inputs using +BAT It is recommended to connect system voltage +BAT to the input through a switch in order to reserve 5Vdc VREF for sensors and potentiometers. EXAMPLE Connect the positive and negative terminals of the switch to supply or the unit’s +BAT, and DIN-X, respectively.
Digital inputs Digital inputs DIN that share pins with VIN These digital inputs share pins with the module voltage inputs and have high impedance characteristics. The preceding switch examples apply to these inputs. DIN that share pins with CRET These digital inputs share pins with the return pins of the proportional output channels, e.g.

Digital inputs 2 The switch supply could be connected through a high impedance resistor. EXAMPLE Connect the supply of the switch to +BAT through a high impedance resistor, and the signal to DIN-X , respectively. +BAT IQAN module Resistor DIN-X, (shares RET pin) Switch Connecting a switch to DIN-X and supply through a resistor.
Frequency inputs Frequency inputs Connecting sensors to the frequency inputs Frequency inputs can operate in 2 modes. Speed which is frequency and position which is a pulse count. For the frequency ranges and trigger levels, see Appendix A. Simple frequency sensor The positive terminal of the frequency sensor is connected to the +VREF and the negative terminal to the -VREF respectively.
Quadrature and directional frequency inputs Quadrature and directional frequency inputs Connecting sensors to the inputs Quadrature sensors are phase dependent. These sensors have two 90 degree out of phase "square wave" type signals for direction indication, and frequency. Directional sensors are level dependent. These sensors have one "square wave" type signal for speed or position and one signal that is high or low to indicate the direction.
Proportional outputs Proportional outputs The current /PWM outputs control proportional valves and devices. For the current range and loads, see Appendix A. Frequency To obtain the best performance from proportional valves the controller produces a current mode (closed loop) output signal or a PWM mode (open loop) output signal. The type of output is selectable in IQAN software.
PWMRET-X- Directional Valve Connecting a load to a proportional output. OTICE DO NOT install diodes across coils for PWMOUT mode for Parker Pulsar solenoids! OTICE DO install diodes across coils for PWMOUT mode on all other solenoids! If maximum load inductance is exceeded, or if PWM outputs are externally grounded, a clamping diode must be used.
Digital outputs Digital outputs The digital outputs control relays and on/off valves. For the maximum load per output see Appendix A. Connecting loads to digital outputs Connecting of loads to the digital outputs such as on/off valves is done by using the DOUT positions and the negative battery terminal as ground.

If the control system is not fitted properly, the machine could move uncontrollably. The machine’s engine shall not be started before the control system is completely fitted and its signals are verified.
