Electrical Connection

The electrical connection is carried out by using removable 9-pin and 11-pin terminal blocks. These terminal blocks differ in their connection system (spring terminals or screw terminals, cable mounting from the front or from the side). For more information, please refer to the chapter Terminal Blocks for S500-eCo I/O Modules TA563-TA565 - Terminal Blocks. The terminal blocks are not included in the module’s scope of delivery and must be ordered separately.

The following block diagram shows the internal construction of the digital outputs:

Assignment of the terminals:

Terminal	Signal	Description
1	NO0	Normally-open contact of the output NO0
2	NO1	Normally-open contact of the output NO1
3	NO2	Normally-open contact of the output NO2
4	NO3	Normally-open contact of the output NO3
5	NO4	Normally-open contact of the output NO4
6	NO5	Normally-open contact of the output NO5
7	NO6	Normally-open contact of the output NO6
8	NO7	Normally-open contact of the output NO7
9	R0..7	Output common for signals NO0 to NO7
10	NO8	Normally-open contact of the output NO8
11	NO9	Normally-open contact of the output NO9
12	NO10	Normally-open contact of the output NO10
13	NO11	Normally-open contact of the output NO11
14	NO12	Normally-open contact of the output NO12
15	NO13	Normally-open contact of the output NO13
16	NO14	Normally-open contact of the output NO14
17	NO15	Normally-open contact of the output NO15
18	R8..15	Output common for signals NO8 to NO15
19	L+	Process voltage L+ (24 VDC)
20	M	Process voltage M (0 VDC)

The internal power supply voltage for the module’s circuitry is carried out via the I/O bus (provided by a bus module or a CPU). Thus, the current consumption from 24 VDC power supply at the terminals L+/UP and M/ZP of the CPU/bus module increases by 5 mA per DO573.

The external power supply connection is carried out via the L+ (+24 VDC) and the M (0 VDC) terminals. The M terminal is electrically interconnected to the M/ZP terminal of the CPU/bus module.

Warning

:strong:Risk of death by electric shock!

The terminals of the module can carry 240 V voltage.

Make sure that all voltage sources (supply and process voltage) are switched off before you begin with operations at the system.

For screw-type terminals only:

Warning

:strong:For screw terminals only: Danger of death by electric shock!

The IP 20 protection degree is only provided if all terminal screws are tightened.

Tighten all screws of unused load terminals of relay outputs if voltages > 24 V are connected to the relay group.

Warning

:strong:Removal/Insertion under power

The devices are not designed for removal or insertion under power. Because of unforeseeable consequences, it is not allowed to plug or unplug devices with the power being ON.

Make sure that all voltage sources (supply and process voltage) are switched off before you

• connect or disconnect any signal or terminal block
• remove, mount or replace a module.

Disconnecting any powered devices while energized in a hazardous location could result in an electric arc, which could create a flammable ignition resulting in fire or explosion.

Make sure that power is removed and that the area has been thoroughly checked to ensure that flammable materials are not present prior to proceeding.

The devices must not be opened when in operation. The same applies to the network interfaces.

Attention

:strong:Risk of damaging the I/O Module!

The outputs are not protected against short circuit and overload.

• Never short-circuit or overload the outputs.
• Never connect inductive loads without an external suppression against voltage peaks due to inductive kickback.
• Never connect voltages > 240 V. All outputs must be supplied from the same phase.
• Use an external 5 A fast protection fuse for the outputs.

Attention

:strong:Risk of damaging the PLC modules!

The PLC modules can be damaged by overload.

Make sure that the total current of each output common terminal (R0..7 and R8..15) does not exceed 10 A.

Never connect total currents > 10 A per group.

The following figure shows the electrical connection of the module:

Connection of 100-240 VAC actuators

The module provides several diagnosis functions (see section Diagnosis DO573 - Digital Output Module).

The meaning of the LEDs is described in the section State LEDs DO572 - Digital Output Module.

Power supply - the negative connection is realized via the I/O bus

Note

The L+ connection of the DO573 and the 24 V supply of the CPU/bus module must be connected to the same 24 V power supply .
