RN22 Diagnostics and troubleshooting Diagnostics and troubleshooting General troubleshooting Always start troubleshooting with the checklists below if faults occur after startup or during operation. The checklists take you directly (via various queries) to the cause of the problem and the appropriate remedial measures.
Technical data 12.1 Function and system design Product description RN22 Product design Active barrier, 1-channel • The active barrier is used for the transmission and galvanic isolation of 0/4 to 20 mA signals. The device has an active/passive current input to which a 2- or 4-wire transmitter can be directly connected.
RN22 Technical data Active barrier, 2-channel With the "2-channel" option, the device has a second channel, which is galvanically isolated from channel 1, while maintaining the same width. Otherwise, the function corresponds to the 1-channel device. Active barrier as signal doubler With the signal doubler option, the active barrier is used for the galvanic isolation of a 0/4 to 20 mA signal, which is transmitted to two galvanically isolated outputs.
