and distributed network master controller. For the programming of the device it can be used the
CODESYS environment with IEC 61131-3 language.
The FCT640 has been designed for the industrial environment: for details about its characteris-
tics see Technical features.
The FCT640 can be used to realize a control system that includes analog and digital I/Os, and
other TB20 peripherals: for informations see the manual "TB20 – Digital, Analog, and System
Modules": as regards to the FCT640, the present document gets the priority. In order to realize
a TB20 control system with FCT640 it is necessary to install the controller as rst element to
which eventual local modules will be connected.
Important
Before the reading of this document it is recommended the comprehension of the manu-
al "TB20 – Digital, Analog, and System Modules", that can be requested to the supplier.

Warning
The package content includes ESD-sensitive parts with high risk to be dam-
aged (e.g. contacts on the right side and internal components). Avoid any con-
tact with non ESD-safe material or use proper ESD-safe protections before touching the equip-
ment and avoid to move close materials that may potentially be ESD-charged (such as insulat-
ing materials non-dissipating or conductive unearthed parts).
In case the FCT640 is installed without local modules it is recommended to always pro-
tect the lateral contacts through the protective cover accessory.
3.Dimensions and sizes

Warning
The DIN rail connects to the system functional earth: connect it to the panel ground.
4.Installation and disassembling
In order to optimize the thermal dissipation the controller must be installed in vertical position
(with X1 as lower connector), with DIN rail horizontal. The DIN rail must be firmly xed to
the internal back of the electrical panel.
The FCT640 system installation must provide the dissipation of the heat that is generated by the
system itself through the upper/lower air vents, by guaranteeing a sufficient free volume inside
the panel in which it is installed. In fact the system produces heat that must be dissipated inside
the panel and for this reason it is absolutely necessary to guarantee a minimum air convection
from the other devices.
The FCT640 and eventual additional modules must be installed leaving free at least 10 cm on
the top and bottom sides and 5 cm on the lateral sides, and avoiding hot zones in the panel as
drives or motor braking resistors and the zones with EMC interferences.
Assembling
1. In case the backplane connector is separated, x the base for the modules on the DIN
rail by making a quarter of clockwise revolution (90°) on the star-shaped insert on the
module center.
Important
Do not force the modules insertion on the backplane connector: previous-
ly check that the orientation of the coding insert is compatible with the orienta-
tion of the insert on the FCT640 back.
90°

2. Insert the device in the backplane connector, by sliding it perpendicularly to the DIN
rail. Push it towards the backplane connector until the blocking device springs (until
a slight "click" can be heard).
3. Rotate couterclockwise the blocking lever on the left of the device in order to x its
position on the DIN rail.
Disassembling
1. Rotate clockwise the blocking lever on the left of the device in order to free its position
on the DIN rail.

2. While pushing the lever, pull the device perpendicularly to the DIN rail. In this way
the backplane connector will remain anchored to the DIN rail: this allows a faster sub-
stitution of the controller.
3. Remove the base for the modules from the DIN rail by making a quarter of revolution
(90°) counterclockwise, on the appropriate star-shaped insert on the module center.

5.Electrical connections
Required instruments, materials and equipment
For the correct functioning of the controller, protection included, the installation of the follow-
ing components is required:
•Fuse (slow-blow fuse, max. 8A) to be installed in series to the following pins of X1: L+
and AUX (only if used). It must protect the internal electronics of the FCT640 in case
of shirt-circuit or overload.
•24 VDC power supply to be connected to the L+ (+) and GND (-) signals of X1. The
power supply must have a stabilized output voltage and output current adequate to the
absorption of the FCT640 and of the connected modules (in case the AUX signal is used,
it is necessary that a compatible source is connected to the AUX (+), GND (-) signals
of X1).
Caution
The FCT640 is not internally protected against the overload or short-circuit on the supply sec-
tion. Protect the product with fuses that complies with the technical data and the local regu-
lations.
5.1.Precautions during the wiring
Before to supply the FCT640, the DIN rail must be wired to the panel earth for EMC compati-
bility: through it the spring contacts connect the controller to the earth.
Caution
Do not exceed the 8A limit on each pin of the connector X1. In case of higher absorp-
tion use the proper supply modules TB20.
Important
The correct functioning of the FCT640 needs the earth-
ing of the DIN rail is made through a reliable contact of the DIN rail posteri-
or springs. Avoid any mechanical strain on the controller in order to not risk to inter-
rupt the electrical connection.
The wiring of the connector X1 must respect the SELV/PELV requirements and the SELV/
PELV circuits segregation and insulation requirements in relation to the different kind of cir-

cuits. Furthermore the wiring must be made with wires that are appropriate to the application,
according to the temperature and insulation voltage of the other circuits with higher voltage.
•Do not use power suppliers with characteristics that are different from the indicated
ones.
•Do not connect more power suppliers in series and/or parallel in order to avoid to exceed
the limitations of the certified voltage/current rating.
•Do not reverse the supply polarity.
•Do not connect the power supply to the FCT640 without the protection of the fuses
that are indicated in Required instruments, materials and equipment.
6.Peripherals connection
