6.1
Assigning an Address to the Module
To operate the VBA-4E-G11-I-F within an AS-Interface network, a suitable address must be
assigned to the AS-Interface slave. The AS-Interface VBP-HH1-V3.0 handheld device by
Fuchs or an AS-Interface master can be used to assign addresses.
The VBA-4E-G11-I-F is a standard slave as defined by specification 3.0 and requires a master
that meets specification 2.1 or higher. You can assign addresses 1 to 31. The default address
on delivery is 0.
6.2
Slave Profile
The VBA-4E-G11-I-F has the profile
S-7.3.E
The data value is transmitted as defined by AS-Interface profile 7.3.
6.3
Parameterization
The following parameters can be set for the VBA-4E-G11-I-F. Program the parameters using an
AS-Interface master, with the VAZ-SW-ACT32 AS-i Control Tools from Fuchs, or with
the VBP-HH1-V3.0 handheld device.
Parameter P0: 50/60 Hz Filter
Default value P0=1, active
With parameter P0, you activate the filter for 50/60 Hz power frequencies. With an activated
filter, power frequency interference is suppressed. In this case, the conversion time is extended
(see chapter 9.2).
Parameter P1: Not Used
Parameter P2: Peripheral Fault
Default value P2=1, active
Parameter P2 is used to switch notification of a peripheral fault in the event of a measuring
overrange on or off (see chapter 9). If notifications are activated, the AS-i/FAULT LED flashes in
the event of a peripheral fault, and a notification is sent to the master.
A peripheral fault is always reported if:
■
The power supply is overloaded.
■
The external power supply is not available when the INT/EXT switch = EXT.
■
No channel is activated. see chapter 4.3.
Parameter P3: Wire Break Detection
Default value P3=1, active
Parameter P3 is used to switch wire break detection on or off at the input channels. Where wire
break detection is activated, automatic channel detection is also activated (see chapter 4.3).
The measuring range is between 4 mA and 20 mA.
Parameter P3=0 is used to switch off wire break detection. All four input channels are then
active. The measuring range is between 0 mA and 20 mA.
