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
10 NO0 Normally-open contact of the output NO0
11 NO1 Normally-open contact of the output NO1
12 NO2 Normally-open contact of the output NO2
13 NO3 Normally-open contact of the output NO3
14 R0..3 Output common for signals NO0 to NO3
15 NO4 Normally-open contact of the output NO4
16 NO5 Normally-open contact of the output NO5
17 NO6 Normally-open contact of the output NO6
18 NO7 Normally-open contact of the output NO7
19 R4..7 Output common for signals NO4 to NO7
20 L+ Process voltage L+  +24 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 DO571.

The external power supply connection is carried out via the L+ (+24 VDC) terminal. The negative pole of the external power supply is realized via the I/O bus. Therefore, the CPU/bus module and the DO571 must have a common power supply.

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 PLC modules!

Overvoltages and short circuits might damage the PLC modules.

  • Make sure that all voltage sources (supply and process voltage) are switched off before you begin with operations at the system.
  • Never connect any voltages or signals to reserved terminals (marked with —). Reserved terminals may carry internal voltages.

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.

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

Note

The L+ connection of the DO571 and the 24 V supply of the CPU/bus module must be connected to the same 24 V power supply.

The module provides several diagnosis functions (see Diagnosis DO571 - Digital Output Module).

The meaning of the LEDs is described in the section Status LEDs DO571 - Digital Output Module.
