V - mA CONVERTER

EN K109S WITH 4-POINT GALVANIC INSULATION AND

AUXILIARY SUPPLY
General Description
The K109S instrument is a V - mA converter with 4-point galvanic insulation designed for
industrial standard voltage or current signals with passive input, active output and
auxiliary supply.
Analog/digital conversion takes place at 14 bit on every input range.
The instrument also provides the following functions:
Auxiliary Supply, completely floating, isolated from the other ports, with voltage unrelated
to the input power supply.
Current or voltage input.
Programmable rejection for 50 or 60 Hz mains frequency.
Additional reading stabilisation filter.
Inversion of the input and inverted output scales
Input Out-of-Range programmable to 2.5% or 5.0%
SQRT function.
Linearisation for horizontal cylindrical tanks.
The module is also characterised by its extremely compact size, coupling to 35 mm DIN
rail, power supply available by bus, quick fit couplings by spring-type terminals, onsite
configuration by DIP-switch.

(1)
No linearisation function enabled.
(2)
Linearisation functions operate only in the 0..100% rated range, whereas for the under-
range and the over-range, the input signal is transferred without any alteration (G=1).
Continuity and monotonic quality of transfer are guaranteed throughout the entire range of
measurement.
(3)
In the 0..1% range, the function is linear with gain G=10 in order to avoid over-
amplification of the noise.

Installation rules
This module has been designed for assembly on a DIN 46277 rail. Assembly in vertical
position is recommended in order to increase the module's ventilation, and no raceways or
other objects that compromise aeration must be positioned in the vicinity.
Do not position the module above equipment that generates heat; we recommend
positioning the module in the lower part of the control panel or container compartment.
We recommend rail-type assembly using the corresponding bus connector (Code K-BUS)
that eliminates the need to connect the power supply to each module.
Inserting the module in the rail Removing the module from the rail

1 - Attach the module in the upper part of 1 - Apply leverage using a screwdriver (as
the rail. shown in the figure).
2 - Press the module downwards. 2 - Rotate the module upwards.

Using the K-BUS connector

1 - Compose the K-BUS connectors as required in order to obtain the number of positions
necessary (each K-BUS permits the insertion of no. 2 modules).
2 - Insert the K-BUS connectors in the rail by positioning them on the upper side of the rail
and then rotating them downwards.
IMPORTANT: Pay particular attention to the position of the protrudent terminals of the
K-BUS. The K-bus must be inserted in the guide with the protrudent terminals on the left
(as shown in the figure) otherwise the modules are turned upside downs.
- Never connect the power supply directly to the bus connector on the DIN
rail.
! - Never tap power supply from the bus connector either directly or by using
the module's terminals.

SETTING OF THE DIP-SWITCHES
Factory setting
All the module DIP switches are at pos. 0 as defaut configuration.
This set correspond to the following configuration :
Input signal 0..20 mA
50-60 Hz mains frequency rejection 50 Hz
Input filter Present
Inversion No
Linearisation None
Output signal 0..20 mA
Input Out-of-range ± 5% limit
It is understood that this configuration is valid only with all the DIP switches at position 0.
Even as one Dip is moved, it is necessary to set all the other parameter as indicated on the
following tables.

Note: for all following tables

The indication indicates that the DIP-switch is set in Position 1 (ON).
No indication is provided when the DIP-switch is set in Position 0 (OFF).

Electrical Connections

The module has been designed for spring-type terminal

electrical connections.
Proceed as follows to make the connections:
1 - Strip the cables by 0.8 mm
2 - Insert a screwdriver in the square hole and press it
until the cable lock spring opens.
3 - Insert the cable in the round hole.
4 - Remove the screwdriver and make sure that the cable
is tightly fastened in the terminal.

Terminals 7 ( + ) and 8 ( - ) of each module. SUPPLY

2 - Using the K-BUS connector accessory for the distribution of the power supply to the
modules via bus connector, in this way eliminating the need to connect power supply to
each module.
The bus can be supplied from any of the modules; the total absorption of the bus must be
less than 400 mA. Higher absorption values can damage the module. An appropriately
sized fuse must be connected in series to the power supply.

3 - Using the K-BUS connector accessory for the distribution of the power supply to the
modules via bus connector and the K-SUPPLY accessory for the connection of the power
supply.
The K-SUPPLY accessory is a 6.2 mm wide module that contains a set of protections
designed to protect the modules connected via bus against over-voltage loads.
The bus connector can be provided with power using the K-SUPPLY module if the total
absorption of the bus is less than 1.5 A. Higher absorption values can damage both the
module and the bus. An appropriately sized fuse must be connected in series to the power
supply.
