OUTPUT MODULES
The ALMEMO
®
2590A measuring instrument has two
output sockets A1 and A2; these can output meas-
ured values in either analog or digital form or as an
alarm signal. It is also possible to initiate various
functions by means of trigger pulses. To cover all
possibilities while also keeping the hardware to a
minimum all necessary interfaces have been inte-
grated on the ALMEMO
®
output cables or output modules. These output modules, just like the sensors them-
selves, are recognized automatically and listed in the menu
OUTPUT MODULES
.
The numerous connection possibilities are described in detail in the Manual, Ch 5.
15.1
Data cables
All ALMEMO
®
data cables and their connection to devices are described in detail in
the Manual, Section 5.2. Other modules for networking the devices are described in
detail in the Manual, Section 5.3. The interface modules are connected to socket A1
(2)
; this is with the exception of network cable ZA 1999-NK which is used for net-
working a further device; this must be connected to socket A2.
In the menu under the socket concerned the following information is displayed :
Socket A1:
DK Data cable
Variant 0 : Serial standard interface always active
0: RS232
The baud rate is also saved in the cable connector
Baud rate: 9600 baud
15.2
Relay-trigger modules
Whereas, for the purposes of addressing peripheral devices via the relay and
trigger input (see Manual 5.1.2/3), V5 modules (ZA 1006-EKG) provide only one
function variant for all elements (see Manual 6.6.4), the new V6 relay trigger
analog adapter ZA 8006-RTA3 offers up to 10 relays or options with 2 of these
as trigger inputs or up to 4 as analog outputs. All elements can be individually
configured for these functional variants. Old output cables can be reconfigured
for V6 functions using ALMEMO
®
-Control. These modules can be connected
equally well to output socket A2 or output socket A1 (2).
To ensure that all elements are addressed, each of these sockets has been as-
signed 10 port addresses.
