1. APPLICATION

The 

UNICONT  PJK-1

-4  is  a  universal  interface  module

  that

can be controlled via HART or MODBUS protocol through an RS485
interface, and (depending on type) provides relay(s) and/or 4…20 mA
current output(s).
The  device  is  intelligent,  the  internal  functions  and  services  can  be
set with the help of a communication protocol: the transmitter outputs
can be scaled. The error detection function can be switched on and
off. The state, in which a given output unit should be when an error
occurs,  can  also  be  set.  The  device  can  be  used  with  Nivelco’s

MultiCONT  PR

  -1

-

  units

  as  an  output  extension  module,

and  also  as  a  peripheral  device  for  PLC  or  PC  controlled  process
control systems.

The  Universal  Interface  Modules  should  be
connected  one  after  another  to  one  cable
pair. Star topology is not allowed. Max. cable
length is 1000 m, but in this case a shielded
twisted  cable  pair  (STP  –  Shielded  Twisted
Pair)  should  be  used.  Max.  cable  capacity
should be less than 100 pF/m.
All of the Universal Interface Modules in one
system  should  have  different  addresses
(0…31), see: 5.1.2.

The terminal resistor is connected to the two farthest points 
of the cable. (TB and B contacts are connected in PJK 100;

HOOSING A COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL

Open  the  housing  via  the  four  snap-on  clips  to
access the DIP switch for protocol selection.
DEFAULT SETTING: HART

5.1.2 S

ETTING THE DEVICE ADDRESS

A  communication  line  can  contain  max.  32
Universal  Interface  Modules.  These  modules
should have different addresses.
Set  the  address  with  the  „

ADDRESS”

  DIP

switches (0…31), on the front panel of the device.
Settings will take effect when the unit is switched
on again!
