Temperature measurements Temperatures can be measured in the field multiplexer system using MCR temperature measuring transducers from Phoenix Contact. They are connected in front of analog input terminals (see Figure 3-5). Make sure that the same transmission mode (copper) is always set for both field multiplexers.
IB IL 24 MUX MA-PAC Configuration The field multiplexer does not require any configuration software. It is configured with cable jumpers on the connectors. 3.5.1 Configuring the "fiber optics (FO)" transmission mode If you want to implement fiber optic data transmission, insert a cable jumper at connector 1 from 1.1 to 2.1 (CONF...
Mount end clamps on both sides of the field multiplexer station. They ensure that the field multiplexer station is correctly mounted. End clamps fix the station on both sides and keep it from moving from side to side on the DIN rail. Phoenix Contact recommends using CLIPFIX 35-5 end clamps (Order No. 3022276).
Page 24
Please refer to Section “Terminal point assignment” on page 18 for the assignment of the terminal points. In order to improve noise immunity, Phoenix Contact recommends a 3-wire, shielded cable. Connecting sensors and Sensors and actuators are connected using the Inline connectors. Each terminal-specific actuators data sheet indicates which connector(s) can be used for which terminal.
A basic description of the terminals can be found in the IL SYS INST UM E. For additional information, please refer to the terminal-specific documentation. 3.8.2 Terminals that can actually be used on the field multiplexer Please refer to Section “Devices permitted in a field multiplexer station” on page 43. 5981_en_06 PHOENIX CONTACT...

The segment voltage U can be supplied separately to the field multiplexer or tapped from the main circuit. Install a jumper or create a segment circuit using a switch to tap the voltage from the main circuit U 5981_en_06 PHOENIX CONTACT...
IB IL 24 MUX MA-PAC The voltage U supplies all of the devices connected to the segment circuit. The supply voltage to the sensors and actuators (U ) should be installed and protected independently of the field multiplexer supply (U ).
). To do this, the voltage is tapped off from the potential jumper U This principle is shown schematically in Figure 4-2 for a section of a field multiplexer station. Figure 4-2 Example: Interruption/recreation of the potential jumpers U through the segment terminal 5981_en_06 PHOENIX CONTACT...
IB IL 24 MUX MA-PAC 4.2.2 Electrical isolation Electrical isolation: In order to improve noise immunity, the remote bus interface voltage is isolated from the Remote bus station's electronics. The incoming remote bus interface shield is AC-coupled to earth ground using a resistor and a capacitor.
Page 31
This isolation can also be achieved if the power supply U is provided through a separate power terminal with its own power supply (see page 34) instead of through the power terminal integrated into the field multiplexer. 5981_en_06 PHOENIX CONTACT...

IB IL 24 MUX MA-PAC Option 2 The field multiplexer supply U and the I/O supply U are provided from a power supply unit: Local bus U (GND 7.5 V 24 V 24 V 24 V +24 V (U )
. The power supply unit with electrical isolation is part of an analog terminal. The voltage U is looped through each terminal and is therefore available to the next terminal. IB IL 24 MUX MA-PAC IB IL AI 2/SF-PAC Local bus U (GND...
Page 34
IB IL 24 MUX MA-PAC Electrical isolation: Other Other electrical isolation depends on how the supply voltages are provided. For instance, electrical isolation can be provided by inserting a new 24 V supply using a power terminal. During this process the 24 V power supply units on the low voltage side must not be connected to one another.
Surge protection The following section should be considered as a general guide. If you require information about comprehensive surge protection design, please contact Phoenix Contact. Overvoltage can occur as a result of circuit events or lightning strikes. Safety equipment against overvoltage should always be installed when installing the field multiplexer, as this is required by the usual fields of application of the field multiplexer.
Surge protection for the remote bus cable Electromagnetic fields affecting the remote bus can disturb data transmission, and in extreme cases can damage the electronics of the field multiplexer. Phoenix Contact offers two surge arresters from the TRABTECH range particularly designed for the field multiplexer to protect the remote bus interface: DATA-PLUGTRAB.

Lay a supplementary wire for the remote bus cable. – Ground the shield indirectly using a type TERMITRAB-SLKK5-F/110AC surge protective device (see Phoenix Contact TRABTECH catalog) (Figure 5-2). Figure 5-2 Basic circuit diagram: Remote bus protection, version 1b The remote bus cable is wired between the two surge arresters and the TERMITRAB modular terminal block as illustrated in Figure 5-2.
Page 38
If protection of the remote bus cable is omitted to reduce costs, the field multiplexers must (not recommended) be connected, as shown in Figure 5-5. Surge protection is not provided in this version. Phoenix Contact can therefore not recommend it. The user bears the risk for any consequential damage. ACHTUNG: This connection version is not to be used if the DATA and DATA wires are not a twisted pair.
Surge protection for the power supply and the entire control cabinet To protect the control cabinet power supply, Phoenix Contact offers the VALVETRAB surge arrester (see TRABTECH catalog from Phoenix Contact. Effective overvoltage protection can only be achieved with full equipotential bonding.
IB IL 24 MUX MA-PAC I/Os 5981B033 Figure 5-6 Protecting the power supplies Surge protection measures in fiber optic mode Since optical fibers are not sensitive to electromagnetic fields, field multiplexers that transmit data over fiber optics do not need remote bus surge protection. Nonetheless, the power supply unit for the interface converter should be included in the surge protection scheme.
