ICENI/AI-04 FOREWORD These instructions have been compiled to assist personnel responsible for the operation and maintenance of equipment manufactured by Regulateurs Europa Ltd. Care has been taken to ensure that the equipment has been accurately represented, but it should be appreciated that, with the continued progress of design and the diversity of application, certain items may differ in detail.
ICENI/AI-04 GENERAL USE Before carrying out any repairs, adjustments or maintenance to any equipment supplied by Regulateurs Europa Ltd, it is essential the following safety precautions be observed. General The operator should take care to make themselves thoroughly familiar with the operating principles, methods of adjustment and the dismantling and assembly procedures (where applicable) concerning the equipment in use.
ICENI/AI-04 PRODUCT OVERVIEW Iceni Node An Iceni node comprises of a master module, between one and sixteen signal conditioning modules and at least one power supply module. A typical Iceni node: master signal conditioning modules power module (x8 in this example)
ICENI/AI-04 ICENIbus Interface Iceni modules are designed to plug together to form a node. The connection system used to join one module to another is called ICENIbus and is used to transfer both data and power supply between modules. field devices &...
As standard, Iceni modules are supplied with screw-clamp field wiring connectors, although cage-clamp variants are available as an option. For ICENI/AI-04 there are four connectors marked 1-4, 5-8, 9-12 and 13-16 to match the numbers marked on the Iceni housing. This arrangement identifies the connector to its location on the module.
ICENI/AI-04 ICENI/AI-04 KEY FEATURES The ICENI/AI-04 module is a component of an Iceni node and provides four isolated input channels for monitoring field temperature sensors (fluids, bearings, motor windings, etc.) The ICENI/AI-04 module provides the following key features: o Four sensor inputs, each configurable to support PT100, PT200, PT500 and PT1000 type sensors (alpha = 0.00385).
The ICENI/AI-04 module can be fitted with other modules one at a time on the DIN rail with a slight tilting action. It is important that the metal DIN rail latch on the underside of each module engages properly with the rail to retain the module in place.
ICENI/AI-04 Module Positioning Within a Node The ICENI/AI-04 module/s should be fitted in any of the yellow locations shown in the diagram below according to the total number of signal conditioning modules assembled in the node. Modules should be assembled with population starting at position 1 on the left hand side, continuing towards position 16 on the right.
For 3-wire operation, wiring for R+, R- and LOOP must be the same length and cross sectional area (CSA). o For 2-wire operation, R- and LOOP should be linked at the ICENI/AI-04 module terminals. Wiring for R+ and R- must be the same length and cross sectional area (CSA).
ICENI/AI-04 Earthing / Grounding The metal terminal rail to which the Iceni node is attached should be connected to a ‘clean’ earth / ground point. In many applications this would be the chassis of the product. It is recommended that screened signal cables are used, with the screen connected to a ‘clean’...
ICENI/AI-04 MODULE USER INTERFACE Indicators The top face of the module presents the following status indicators: module health status channels 1 to 4 signal status Pushbutton The top face of the module presents a pushbutton for access to channel information...
ICENI/AI-04 MODULE OPERATION Module Configuration Following power up the ICENI/AI-04 module will wait for the master module to automatically configure the Iceni node. During the configuration process, the module health status indicator will flash green. Following a healthy node configuration, the module health status indicator will light green continuously.
ICENI/AI-04 Module & Signal Failure Detection The ICENI/AI-04 module and its input signals are monitored at regular intervals by the master module to check their health status. The following faults are detected locally by the ICENI/AI-04 module: ICENI/AI-04 Field Communications...
