Function

The VAA-4E-G4-ZE AS-Interface coupling module is a G4 module with 4 inputs. Mechanical contacts and 2- and 3-wire sensors can be connected to the inputs. The sensors are supplied via the module.

The IP67 rated G4 module is especially suitable for rough conditions. Sensors attach to cable glands and cage tension spring terminals thus making the installation especially user-friendly. For pre-addressing the module it can be plugged directly onto the adapter of the hand-held programming device VBP-HH1.

The current switching state of each channel is indicated by an LED, located on the module's top side.

Both flat and round cables can be used for the connection of the AS-Interface transmission line. Use the U-G1F base or the U-G1FF base for the AS-Interface flat cable. The AS-Interface cable is connected using the cable piercing method. The U-G1F base can also be used as IP67 AS-Interface distribution box. The U-G1FF base should be used, when modules with outputs are mounted in series with the module. The flat cable for external power supply can be placed in this base. The module does not access the supply line.

Use the U-G1P or the U-G1PP base for a round cable.These bases have the same functionality as the U-G1F or the U-G1FF bases.

Note:

An overloading of the sensor supply, e. g. short-circuit is signalled by a red/green flashing LED "PWR/FAULT" and reported to the AS-Interface master via the "Peripheral fault" function. Communication via the AS-Interface remains intact.
