  • Page 14: Esd Protection

    VA 011 VARAN ANALYZER ESD Protection Before any device is connected to or disconnected from the VA 011, the po- tential with ground should be equalized (by touching the control cabinet or ground terminal). Electrostatic loads (through clothing and shoes) can thereby be dissipated.
  • Page 15: Connector Layout

    VARAN ANALYZER VA 011 Connector Layout The connections of the +24 V supply (X4: pin 1 and pin 2) or the GND supply (X4: pin 3 and pin 4) are internally bridged. To supply the module, only one connection to a +24 V pin (pin 1 or pin 2) and a GND pin (pin 3 or pin 4) is required.

  • Page 21: Strain Relief

    VARAN ANALYZER VA 011 Strain Relief The VARAN cable must be mounted close to the module (e.g. using a clamp)! No mechanical stress can be applied to the connection! 04.11.2020 Page 19...
  • Page 22 It is recommended to avoid placing VARAN bus lines parallel to power cables whenever possible. SIGMATEK recommends the use of CAT5e industrial Ethernet bus cables. For the shielding, an S-FTP cable should be used.
  • Page 23: Wiring From The Control Cabinet To An External Varan Component

    VARAN ANALYZER VA 011 Wiring from the Control Cabinet to an External VARAN Component If the Ethernet lines are connected from a VARAN component to a VARAN node located outside the control cabinet, the shielding should be placed at the entry point of the control cabinet housing.
  • Page 24: Wiring Outside Of The Control Cabinet

    VA 011 VARAN ANALYZER Wiring Outside of the Control Cabinet If a VARAN bus line must be connected outside of the control cabinet only, no additional shield support is required. A requirement therefore, is that only IP67 modules and connectors can be used outside the control cabinet.
  • Page 25: Shielding For Wiring Within The Control Cabinet

    VARAN ANALYZER VA 011 Shielding for Wiring Within the Control Cabinet Sources of strong electromagnetic noise located within the control cabinet (drives, Trans- formers, etc.) can induce interference in a VARAN bus line. Spike voltages are deflected over the metallic housing of a RJ45 connector. Noise is conducted through the control cabinet housing without further action from the electronic components.
  • Page 26: Connecting Noise Generating Components

    VA 011 VARAN ANALYZER Connecting Noise Generating Components With the connection of power components that generate strong electromagnetic interference, it is also critical to ensure correct shielding. The shielding should be placed before a power element (or group of power elements).
  • Page 27: Shielding Between Two Control Cabinets

    VARAN ANALYZER VA 011 Shielding Between Two Control Cabinets If two control cabinets must be connected over a VARAN bus, it is recommended that the shielding be located at the entry points of both cabinets. Noise can be thereby prevented from reaching the electronics within the control cabinet.
  • Page 28: Transport/Storage

    VA 011 VARAN ANALYZER 10 Transport/Storage This device contains sensitive electronics. During transport and storage, high mechanical stress must therefore be avoided. For storage and transport, the same values for humidity and vibration as for operation must be maintained! CAUTION During transport, temperature and humidity fluctuations may occur.
  • Page 29: Mounting

    VARAN ANALYZER VA 011 11 Mounting The S-DIAS modules are designed for installation into the control cabinet. To mount the mod- ules, a DIN-rail is required. The DIN rail must establish a conductive connection with the back wall of the control cabinet. The individual S-DIAS modules are mounted on the DIN rail as a block and secured with latches.
