Profibus-PA Remote I/O

The DC303 Profibus-PA Remote I/O makes the integration of Profibus and conventional I/O easy. It is a single integrated easy to use piece of equipment including power, control, networking and I/O under one compact device requiring less panel space than other solutions. The DC303 is an integral part of SYSTEM302 but also integrates into other systems supporting Profibus.

Signal (Communication)
Digital only. Profibus-PA, 31.25 Kbits/s voltage mode, in compliance with IEC 61158-2.
Power Supplies If there are requirements for power supply isolation between inputs and outputs, it is recommended to use at least two power supplies, one for inputs and another one for outputs and Vdc.
If the application does not require isolation between inputs and outputs, only one power supply could be used for inputs, outputs and Vdc. Inputs and outputs are optically isolated from each other.
Current Consumption Quiescent
150 mA from Vdc power supply.
Turn-on Time Approximately 10 seconds.
Update Time Approximately 60 ms. The update time is related to the update of the inputs and outputs.
Output Impedance
Non-intrinsic safety from 7.8 kHz - 39 kHz should be greater or equal to 3 kΩ. Intrinsic safety output impedance (assuming an IS barrier in the power supply) from 7.8 kHz - 39 kHz should be greater or equal to 400 Ω.
Function Blocks
Up to 16 Discrete Input Function Blocks (DIs) and up to 8 Discrete Output Function Blocks (DOs).
The DC303 has a Built-in Flexible Function Block (FFB) for logic execution such as: AND, OR, XOR and NOT. Functions as: Timer On-Delay, Timer Off-Delay, Timer Pulse, Pulse Counter Down (CTD), Pulse Counter Up (CTU), Flip-Flop RS and Flip-Flop SR.
Vibration Effect Meets SAMA PMC 31.1.
Temperature Limits
Operation: -40 to 85ºC (-40 to 185 ºF);
Storage: -40 to 110ºC (-40 to 230 ºF).
Housing
Protection: it has IP20 rating (finger protected) and meets VBG4 and other European accident prevention requirements.
Configuration
Via Profibus Communication using tools based on EDDL or FDT/TM.
Mounting
Using DIN rail (TS35-DIN EN 50022 or TS32-DIN EN50035 or TS15-DIN EN50045.

Description-Inputs

The input module senses the DC input voltage and converts it into a True (ON) or False (OFF) logic signal. It has 1 optically isolated group of 16 inputs to detect 24 Vdc.

In case of failure of input power supply there will be indication in the cyclic diagnose bytes.
