Figure: Types of terminals
The I/O Terminal Units TU531 (with screw-type terminals) and TU532 (with spring terminals) are specifically designed for use with AC500/S500 I/O modules that incorporate 115-230 V AC inputs and/or 230 V AC relay outputs.
The input/output modules (I/O expansion modules) plug into the I/O terminal Unit. When properly seated, they are secured with two mechanical locks. All the electrical connections are made through the Terminal Unit, which allows removal and replacement of the I/O modules without disturbing the wiring at the Terminal Unit.
Note
Note: Mounting, disassembling and electrical connection for the Terminal Units and the expansion modules are described in detail in chapter Mounting and disassembling the Terminal Units and the I/O modules Mounting and Disassembling the Terminal Units and the I/O Modules.
The terminals 1.8 to 4.8 and 1.9 to 4.9 are electrically interconnected within the I/O Terminal Unit and have always the same assignment, independent of the inserted module:
- Terminals 1.8 to 4.8: Process voltage UP = +24 V DC
- Terminals 1.9 to 4.9: Process voltage ZP = 0 V
The assignment of the other terminals is dependent on the inserted expansion module (see the description of the used expansion module).
The supply voltage 24 V DC for the module’s electronic circuitry comes from the I/O expansion bus (I/O-Bus).
For usage in extreme ambient conditions (e.g. wider temperature and humidity range), a special XC version of the device is available (TU532 only).
