VBA-4E-KE5-IL Introduction Symbols Used This document contains symbols for the identification of warning messages and of informative messages. Warning Messages You will find warning messages, whenever dangers may arise from your actions. It is mandatory that you observe these warning messages for your personal safety and in order to avoid property damage.
VBA-4E-KE5-IL Certificates and Approvals Certificates and Approvals UL Information Technical Data and Environmental Conditions This device is for indoor use only. This device may be operated in altitudes up to 2000 m. The ambient temperature range is from -25 °C to +70 °C.
Product Description Intended Use The VBA-4E-KE5-IL is an analog module for connecting up to four sensors 0/4 ... 20 mA to the AS-Interface network. Data conversion and data transfer are provided asynchronously according to AS-Interface profile 7.3. The data is converted internally at a 16 bit resolution. The analog module features four analog current inputs.
VBA-4E-KE5-IL Product Description Resetting the Automatically Detected Sensor Types Any sensor types saved through automatic detection are reset when the input configuration of the module is manually changed. For this, there are two available options: 1. Switch off the module power supply. Place or remove the jumper between 1CH, 2CH, or 3CH, and GND, then switch on the supply voltage again.
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 in compliance with EN 50022.
The permitted operating temperature of the cables connected to the terminal block must be at least +80 °C! Connecting the Sensors You can connect 2- and 3-wire sensors to the VBA-4E-KE5-IL. For various connection options, see Figure 4.2 on page 12 and see Figure 4.3 on page 12.
Pepperl+Fuchs, for example, or an AS-Interface master can be used to assign addresses. The VBA-4E-KE5-IL is a standard slave as defined by specification 3.0 and requires a master that meets specification 2.1 or higher. You can assign addresses 1 ... 31. The default address on delivery is 0.

VBA-4E-KE5-IL Commissioning Parameter P3: Wire Break Detection Default value P3=1, active Parameter P3 is used to switch wire break detection on or off at the input channels. Where wire break detection is activated, automatic channel detection is also activated (see chapter 3.4).
2CH, or 3CH, and GND (see chapter 3.6) Incorrect input channels activated A different input configuration was saved previously through automatic channel detection. To reset the input configuration see chapter 3.5 If none of these potential solutions correct the fault, contact Pepperl+Fuchs.
VBA-4E-KE5-IL Appendix A Appendix A Analog Input Module Measuring Ranges Current Input Measuring Ranges The measuring range of the current input can be set via AS-Interface parameter P3: P3=1, nominal range 4 mA ... 20 mA P3=0, nominal range 0 mA ... 20 mA Current: 4 mA ...

VBA-4E-KE5-IL Appendix A Delay Times The module requires a certain amount of time to convert and transmit the analog measuring signals to the AS-Interface master. This time span (= latency) is mainly composed of the conversion time and the transmission time. The conversion time and transmission time depend on a number of factors.
