Figure 1. Dimensions 4.2 Power Supply The iSMA-B-FCU-HH and iSMA-B-FCU-HL versions are designed to work with the 230 V AC power supply. Each iSMA-B-FCU device is equipped with a built-in 6 A fuse protecting the controller and the connected 230 V AC equipment. www.ismacontrolli.com DMP242en | 1st Issue rev.
4.2.1 24 V AC Power Supply for External Equipment The iSMA-B-FCU-HH is equipped with a 24 V AC, 7 VA power supply output to supply an external equipment like sensors and actuators. This power supply uses a separate coil in the transformer.
Figure 4. iSMA-B-FCU-HH diagram of terminals and internal connections 4.3.2 iSMA-B-FCU-HL The iSMA-B-FCU-HL hardware version has a high voltage power supply (230 V AC) and low voltage triac outputs (24 V AC). The triac outputs are connected to a built-in 24 V AC transformer, as shown in the diagram below.
Figure 5. iSMA-B-FCU-HL diagram of terminals and internal connections 4.3.3 iSMA-B-FCU-LL The iSMA-B-FCU-LL hardware version has a low voltage power supply and triac outputs (24 V AC). The triac outputs are connected to power supply terminals. The maximum current for each of the triac outputs is 0,5 A. The maximum power used by the external equipment connected to the 24 V terminals (L2, N2) cannot exceed 7 VA in total.
Hardware User Manual 4.4.2 RS485 Grounding and Shielding In most cases controllers are installed in enclosures along with other devices, which generate electromagnetic radiation (for example, relays, contactors, transformers, motor invertors, etc.). Such electromagnetic radiation can induce electrical noise into both power and signal lines, as well as direct radiation into the controller, causing negative effects on the system.
If the controller is powered up by a USB, all inputs and outputs are operational (except for triac outputs, which require external power supply). 4.6.2 LED The iSMA-B-FCU device is equipped with 4 LED diodes for quick status check and diagnostics: •...
If the device remains in the bootloader status, the power LED (ON) and the communication LED (COM1) blink alternatively. The communication LED keeps its functionality and blinks also after sending/receiving data packages. 4.6.3 DIP Switch The iSMA-B-FCU controller is equipped with 3 DIP switches: • 6-position S1 - PROTOCOL DIP switch; •...

Hardware User Manual Figure 14. Special inputs in analog mode connection Special Input in Resistance Mode In this mode, the special input measures resistance value with the voltage driver. The input works in range from 0 to 1000 kΩ (1 MΩ), with resolution ±20 Ω for 20 kΩ load.
EEPROM memory. WARNING! If the default settings are restored, the value of the counter is set to 0. 5.2 Outputs The iSMA-B-FCU device is equipped with three types of outputs: 2 triac outputs, 5 digital outputs, and 4 analog outputs. www.ismacontrolli.com DMP242en | 1st Issue rev.
The iSMA-B-FCU device is equipped with two triac outputs designed for heating and cooling thermal valve actuators. Depending on controller model, triac outputs can be connected to actuators with 230 V AC supply (for iSMA-B-FCU-HH) or to actuators with 24 V AC supply (for iSMA-B-FCU-HL and iSMA-B-FCU-LL). In the iSMA-B-FCU-HL version, triac outputs are supplied with 24 V AC from a build-in transformer, whereas in iSMA-B-FCU-LL and iSMA-B-FCU-HH triac outputs are connected directly to power supply terminals.
24VOut 5.2.2 Digital Outputs All digital outputs are based on relays, which can operate with 230 V AC voltage (in iSMA- B-FCU-LL, digital outputs are working with 24 V AC). The iSMA-B-FCU device has 2 types of digital outputs: •...
