AED9101B / Part 1 / Basic device 4/24 Introduction and Use The digital transducer electronic devices AED9101B belong to the family of AED components which digitally condition and network as bus-capable signals from mechanical measured value transducers. This includes digital measurement amplifier boards, base devices with RS-485 interface, and intelligent sensors with integrated signal processing.

AED9101B / Part 1 / Basic device 6/24 Electrical connection A connection diagram is enclosed with the basic device AED 9101B. When making connections, please ensure that the cable wires do not protrude beyond the connection terminals (risk of loops forming). Please also ensure that the cable shield is correctly connected to the PG bolting (see Chapter 3.6).

(Wire colours : BU – blue, GN - green, RD – red, WH – white, GY – grey, BK – black) When connecting several transducers, it is recommended to use a distribution box VKK4 or VKK6 by HBM. In general the supply cable to the AED should be implemented as shielded cable.

AED9101B / Part 1 / Basic device 9/24 When connecting several transducers to the AED, note the number of connectable load cells (or the resulting bridge resistance) in relation to the external supply voltage, so as not to exceed the maximum dissipation loss in the basic device.

AED9101B / Part 1 / Basic device 12/24 However, for the 4-wire circuit, the dependence of the copper resistance of the cable directly influences the measurement result via the temperature, as the bridge supply voltage U changes: bridge := R x (1 + alpha x (t –20°C)), L(t) with R...

AED9101B / Part 1 / Basic device 13/24 3.2 Connection of the supply voltage The voltage supply must meet the following requirements: AED9101B with AD101B Direct voltage +6...+30V Current consumption ≤200mA (for 40Ω bridge) 3´ UB +6..30V 2´ 0,1uF The voltage supply must be shielded. It can be fed in within the interface cable or designed as a separate cable.

The interface RS485 with a 4-wire- connection provides for the full functionality of the AED with a maximum cable length of 1000 m. In order to connect the AED to the COM-Port of a PC (RS232), an interface converter (by HBM 1- SC232/422A) is necessary.

The cable shield should not be used for this equipotential bonding. A double shielded cable is recommended for this cable for EMC reasons (available from HBM, e.g.: 3 x 2 x 0.14m² , 4-3301.0071). The shield of the master cable is connected with the shield of the AED cable (not with the supply ground).

3.4 Multi-channel measurements (bus mode, RS485) Several AEDs can be connected to a common bus cable through the RS-485 interface. The principle of bus wiring for 4-wire operat. is illustrated in Fig. 3.4.1. Up to 32 AEDs can be connected to a common bus cable through the RS-485 interface.

3). If the switch ‚Bus termination‘ is set to OFF, then the command STR does not have any effect, that is, bus termination is deactivated. The HBM interface converter also contains these bus termination resistors. Important note These terminations may not be activated more than twice in one bus.
Page 20
AED9101B / Part 1 / Basic device 19/24 Termination resistors are necessary for the electrical function of this bus system. These resistors protect the quiescent-signal levels for the receivers on the bus cable. These termination resistors are already contained in the AED and to be set via the switch ‚Bus termination’...

21/24 3.6 Cable connection AED9101B via PG unions As a connection cable between the AED 9101B and partner device, only a connection cable with a shield grounded on both sides (and metal connectors) may be used. The shield is to be full-surface applied to the PG union (and to the housing of the metal connector).
