Auxiliary voltage; both AUX+ terminals and both AUX- terminals are bridged in AUX- the terminal block. Configuring the Output Function on the VBA-2A-KE5-IL/UL Use the parameter bits P1 and P3 or the two jumpers CON1 and CON2 to configure the function of the outputs.
VBA-2A-KE5-IL/UL, VBA-4A-KE5-IJL/UJL Product Description Jumpers: CON1 CON- CON2 CON- Automatic Detection Parameter bits: P1=1; P3=1->0 Jumpers: CON1 CON- CON2 CON- A test signal records the input resistance of a connected actuator. If the measured input resistance value is > approx. 2 kΩ, the corresponding output is configured as a voltage output.
Retain the original packaging in case the device must be stored or shipped again at a later date. Should you have any questions, please contact Pepperl+Fuchs. Mounting Mount the module by snapping it onto a 35 mm DIN rail.
VBA-2A-KE5-IL/UL, VBA-4A-KE5-IJL/UJL Installation Connecting Actuators You can connect 2-, 3-, and 4-wire sensors to the VBA-4E-KE5-IL. For various connection options, see Figure 4.2 on page 14 and see Figure 4.3 on page 14. Actuator supply via the module from AS-Interface (VBA-4A-KE5-IJL/UJL only) or...
The data value is transmitted as defined by AS-Interface profile 7.3. Parameterization The following parameters can be configured: Program the parameters using an AS-Interface master, with the VAZ-SW-ACT32 AS-i Control Tools from Pepperl+Fuchs, or with the VBP- HH1-V3.0 handheld device. Parameter P0: Watchdog Default value P0=1, active Parameter P0 is used to activate the "watchdog"...
