Attention!
Device damage due to incorrect voltage supply!
Malfunctions may occur if the ripple is too high or if the output voltage is not regulated.
Use only approved, regulated voltage supplies.
Attention!
The Remote (receiver) may be damaged by voltage spikes if cables that are too long are
used!
To satisfy the EMC requirements, the cable on the receiver must not be
longer than 5 m.
Of a longer cable is used nonetheless, take all possible measures to protect the receiver
from overvoltage peaks.
Note
Use Base Coupler (BIC 1I22-P2A02-M18MN2-EPX07-050) exclusively with
Remote Coupler (BIC 2I22-P2A02-M18MF2-EPX07-050)
Commissioning cannot occur until assembly of the entire actuation line, including the Base,
Remote and sensors, is complete
For safety considerations the components must always be installed with power off.
The BIC system is designed so that a polarity reversal of the supply voltage on the Base
side does not cause any damage. The signal outputs from the Base must not ever be
charged with the supply voltage!
For safety reasons, it is recommended that the primary 24 V power supply on the Base side
of the BIC system be limited to a maximum current of 0.5 A.
Be sure that the design of the machine ensures that the total current of the sensors in
addition to the sensors does not exceed the maximum output current of mA for the Remote.
The Remote system is protected for a short-time short circuit, but a long-time short circuit or
a connection with the sensor signal outputs of the Base can cause lasting damage.
The Base transmits an "In Zone" signal to check/monitor the connection between the Base
and the Remote. This can be interpreted by the PLC as "transmitted sensor data valid."
3.7 InZone output
The output is active as soon as the Remote is in the transmission range of the Base. As
long as the signal is active, the relevant information is valid at the outputs and the LED is
on.
