Duemmegi Domino DFMETEO Quick Start Manual

DFMETEO: meteorological data detection
module for Domino bus
DFMETEO module allows the detection of several meteo-
rological data. The module interfaces, on one side, to the
Domino bus and, on the other side, to a special sensor
trough a dedicated communication line.
DFMETEO module reports the value of three parameters:
temperature
✗
daylight
✗
wind speed

DFMETEO module provides 9 digital points to inform about
the following conditions:

The module features a 2-way fixed terminal block for the
connection to Domino bus and a 3-way fixed terminal block
for the connection, through lines A and B, to the meteoro-
logical sensor.
Near to the bus terminal block, a small push-button allows
the address assignment and a green LED shows when the
module is ready to receive the address itself; the same
LED normally flashes every 2 seconds about to signal that
the module is properly operating. A red LED near to the 3-
way terminal block signals the communication presence on
the lines A and B. Under the cover of the bus terminal
block, a small 3-way connector (PRG) allows the connec-
tion to the optional tester/programmer.
DFMETEO module is housed in a DIN 2M modular box for
rail mounting.
Address programming
DFMETEO module takes, inside the Domino bus, 4 con-
secutive input addresses and, if enabled by the configura-
tion panel of BDTools, 3 consecutive output addresses.
However, only a unique base address has to be assigned
to the module to make it operating; assigning an address n,
it will take the input address from n to n+3 and the output
address from n to n+2 (if enabled). For the details about
the address programming refer to the related documenta-
tion. A white label on the front panel allows to write the
base address for an immediate visual identification.
Wiring diagram
The schematic diagram in the figure 1 shows the connec-
tions to be made between DFMETEO module and Domino
bus and the meteorological station (terminals A and B). The
meteorological station must be supplied by 24Vdc voltage.

The meteorological station has a 5-way removable terminal
block with a premounted diode for reverse polarity protec-
tion; however, pay attention to the connection of the meteo
station because, in the opposite case, it could be irre-
versibly damaged. The connections must be executed be-
fore to apply the power supply.
For the connection of the meteorological station use a ca-
ble with 2 twisted pairs, with proper section (for instance
2x2x0,8mmq); use a pair for the power supply and the oth-
er pair for the communication line (A e B). If the chosen ca-
ble provides the shield, connect it to the terminal Sh of
DFMETEO module, leaving it unconnected on the side of
meteorological station. The maximum allowed length for
this cable is 100 meters.
