Overview VISY-Input 8 is a digital 8-channel input module, installed in a case with protection class IP66. It connects external alarm outputs to the VISY-X tank gauging system. With the VISY-Input 8, external alarm signals can be transmitted to the VISY-Command for central recording.
Requirements To connect the VISY-Input 8 to the VISY-X system an interface card of version VI 4 or higher must be installed and connected to the communication adapter VISY-ICI 485. Installation The VISY-Input 8 is designed for wall mounting inside a building.
2.4.2 Connections 24-pin screw terminal for connecting the input signals 3-pin screw terminal for connecting the power supply 3-pin screw terminal for connecting the communication 2.4.3 Controls 2-pin plug connector to activate a terminating impedance for the RS-485 interface. Normally, the communication on the RS-485 network should be trouble-free with- out activation of the terminating impedance (jumper not plugged in), because the data rate is comparatively low.
"In" and "+12 V" of the input. For the supply of external relay contacts VISY-Input 8 has an internal 12 V voltage supply. The inputs are galvanically connected by the internal 12 V voltage supply. The maximum cur- rent via the relay contact is limited to 10 mA ±10 %.
For VISY-Input 8 the function of each input must be set by inserting or removing the corre- sponding jumper (see section 2.6). Further configuration of VISY-Input 8 is done - as usual for the VISY-X system - with the con- figuration software VISY-Setup.
Fault diagnosis VISY-Input 8 has several LEDs which help in diagnosing problems. The positions of the LEDs can be found in the figure 1. Transmit LED TxD (8) / Receive LED RxD (9) The two red communication LEDs indicate, whether data are received or transmitted from VISY-Input 8.
LED indicates a problem with the power supply or the AC adapter. Operating voltage LED (13) The green operating voltage LED indicates whether VISY-Input 8 is supplied with voltage. After switching on the power supply, the operating voltage LED illuminates continuously. If the LED flickers or is unlit, this indicates a problem with the power supply or the mains adapter.
