TITLE: RFS – User Manual 170.IU0.RFS.101
INDUCTIVE LOADS
High voltage transients may occur switching
inductive loads.
Through the internal contacts these transients
may introduce disturbances which can affect the
performance of the instrument.
For all the outputs, the internal protection
(varistor) assures a correct protection up to 0.5
A of inductive component.
The same problem may occur when a switch is
used in series with the internal contacts as
shown in Fig. 10.
Fig. 10 EXTERNAL SWITCH IN SERIES WITH
THE INTERNAL CONTACT
In this case it is recommended to install an
additional RC network across the external
contact as show in Fig. 10
The value of capacitor (C) and resistor (R) are
shown in the following table.
The cable involved in relay output wiring must be
as far away as possible from input or
communication cables.
VOLTAGE OUTPUTS FOR SSR DRIVE
Fig. 11 SSR DRIVE OUTPUT WIRING
It is a time proportioning output.
Logic level 0: Vout < 0.5 V DC.
Logic level 1:
- 14 V + 20 % @ 20 mA
- 24 V + 20 % @ 1 mA.
Maximum current = 20 mA.
NOTE: This output is not isolated. A double or
reinforced isolation between instrument output
and power supply must be assured by the
external solid state relay.
SERIAL INTERFACE
RS-485 interface allows you to connect slave
devices with one remote master unit.
Fig. 12 - RS-485 WIRING
NOTES:
1) The RFS is equipped with an RS-485 driver
with an input impedance fore time higher than
a standard one. For this reason it is possible
to connect 120 RFS units to the same master
(instead of 30).
1) The cable length must not exceed 1.5 km at
19200 BAUD.
2) This serial interface is isolated.
3) The following report describes the signal
sense of the voltage appearing across the
interconnection cable as defined by EIA for
RS-485.
a) The ” A ” terminal of the generator shall
be negative with respect to the ” B ”
terminal for a binary 1 (MARK or OFF)
state.
b) The ” A ” terminal of the generator shall
be positive with respect to the ” B ”
terminal for a binary 0 (SPACE or ON).
4) The EIA standard establishes that by RS-485
interface it is possible to connect up to 30
devices with one remote master unit.
The serial interface of these instruments is
based on “High input impedance”
transceivers; this solution allows you to
connect up to 120 devices (based on the
same transceiver type) with one remote
master unit.
