1. Compatibility Hint This product is a successor model of the thousandfold approved converter type FU251. The new product is suitable for a 100% replacement of the previous model, however some differences must be observed with DIL switch and parameter settings. Some essential advantages of FU252 compared to FU251 are: •...
2. Introduction FU 252 is a small and low-cost, but highly performing converter for industrial applications, where one frequency or two different frequencies need to be converted into an analogue signal or a serial data format. The unit has been designed as a compact module with 12 screw terminals and a 9-position SUB-D connector (female).
Operating range 2.2. The full scale frequency (i.e. the input frequency where the analogue output reaches 10 V or 20 mA) can be set in a range from –1 MHz to +1 MHz. The operating range of the unit can be assigned to any frequency window inside this frequency range.
3. Terminal Assignments and Connections We recommend connecting the Minus wire of the power supply to earth potential. Please observe that, under poor earthing and grounding conditions, multiple earth connections of screens and GND terminals may cause severe problems. In such cases it may be better to have only one central earthing point for the whole system.
Example for use of HTL encoders 3.2. The encoder may be supplied from the same source as the converter, or from another source. +24V HTL encoder FU 252 Screen 12 (GND) Proximity switches, photocells etc. 3.3. These connections are fully similar to a HTL incremental encoder. With single channel operation, input B remains unconnected or can be used to select the output polarity.
Serial interface 3.5. The unit provides a RS232 interface and a RS485 interface, however only one of the two can be used at a time. Serial communication allows to read out conversion results and to set parameters and variables by PC, according to need. GND int.
4. DIL Switch Settings There is one 8-position switch located on the top side (DIL1), and another 8-position switch is located on the bottom side of the unit (DIL2). These switches provide major settings of the desired properties of the unit. Changes of switch settings will become active only after cycling the power supply of the unit! Teach button...
Impulse levels and symmetric / asymmetric input formats 4.2. Positions 5 and 7 of DIL1 together with positions 3 to 6 of DIL2 allow setting of all imaginable combinations of levels and formats. • All subsequent tables use the following definitions: „0“...
4.2.2. Settings for special applications Where you find that the standard settings shown before are not suitable for your application, please go through the following setting options and find out the input levels and characteristics you need. DIL1 DIL2 Characteristics of input A Characteristics of input B 5 6 7 3 4 5 6...
Selecting the RS232 or the RS485 serial interface 4.4. Position 1 of switch DIL1 selects between the RS232 interface and the RS485 interface. All conection details have already been explained in section 3.5. DIL1 / 1 Serial Interface RS232 interface is active (RS485 is switched off) RS485 interface is active (RS232 is switched off) Teach function, Test function, Loading of default settings 4.5.
5. Commissioning With all basic applications, you can use the Teach feature for commissioning of the unit. Extended functions need a PC for setup and are described under section 7. As a first step it is advisable to check the input frequencies by means of the LED marked “Status”.
Conversion of one only frequency 5.1. (single channel or dual channel with direction signal) Make sure that the DIL switches are set according to the encoder you use, and that position 6 of switch DIL1 is OFF (Teach function active). Self test: Upon power up, both front LED’s must be lit first, and the yellow status LED must switch off after the self test has been concluded successfully (approx.1 sec.).
6. PC Setup with Use of the Operator Software OS3.x You can apply the full set of functions when you use a PC and our operator software OS3.x for setup of the unit (at this time the actual version is OS3.2). Connect your PC to the converter, using a serial RS232 cable like shown in section 3.5 of this manual.

8. Free Programmable Linearisation This programmable feature allows the user to convert a linear input signal to a non- linear analogue output. There are 16 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.

You can visualize your curve on the PC screen or by means of an external oscilloscope. For this, select TOOLS, then TEST and there „Analogue Voltage Function“. The unit will now simulate a repeating frequency course over the full range and generate the analogue signal accordingly.
9. Monitor Functions The monitor function of the OS3.2 PC software allows to display some important data on the PC screen with a continuous refresh cycle. Select „Monitor“ from the „Tools“ menu to open the basic view of the monitor window. Click to “Define”...

Click to the Status field, next to the desired register code (where you read ON or OFF). Now you can toggle this position between ON and OFF by touching any key. Set all of the register codes to ON which you afterwards would like to trace on the monitor. Switch all unused register codes to OFF.
10. Data Readout via Serial Interface All register codes from section 9. are also available for serial readout by PC or PLC. For communication the FU252 converter uses the Drivecom Protocol according to ISO 1745. All protocol details can be found in our manual SERPRO_2a.doc To request for a data transmission you must send the following request string to the converter: C1 C2 ENQ EOT = control character (Hex 04)
