Wiring

This equipment is designed to operate only at SELV/PELV/Class 2/Limited Power environments.
All power supplies in the system must include double insulation. Power supply outputs must be rated as SELV/PELV/Class 2/Limited Power.
Do not connect either the ‘Neutral’ or ‘Line’ signal of the 110/220VAC to device’s 0V point.
Do not touch live wires.
All wiring activities should be performed while power is OFF.
Use over-current protection, such as a fuse or circuit breaker, to avoid excessive currents into the UIS-WCB1 module supply port.
Unused points should not be connected (unless otherwise specified). Ignoring this directive may damage the device.
Double-check all wiring before turning on the power supply.

Caution

To avoid damaging the wire, use a maximum torque.
Do not use tin, solder, or any substance on stripped wire that might cause the wire strand to break.
Install at maximum distance from high-voltage cables and power equipment.

Wiring Procedure

Use crimp terminals for wiring; use 26-12 AWG wire (0.13 mm2 –3.31 mm2).

Strip the wire to a length of 7±0.5mm (0.250–0.300 inches).
Unscrew the terminal to its widest position before inserting a wire.
Insert the wire completely into the terminal to ensure a proper connection.
Tighten enough to keep the wire from pulling free.

UIS-WCB1 Connection Points

All wiring diagrams and instructions in this document refer to the UIS-WCB1 connection points. These are arranged in four groups of eleven points each, as shown in the figure to the right.

Two top groups
Input connection points

Two bottom groups
Outputs and power supply connection points
The function of certain I/Os may be adapted via wiring and software settings.

Wiring Guidelines

In order to ensure that the device will operate properly and to avoid electromagnetic interference:

Use a metal cabinet. Make sure the cabinet and its doors are properly earthed.
Use wires that are properly sized for the load.
Use shielded twisted pair cables for wiring High Speed and Analog I/O signals.
Use shielded cables for wiring thermocouple and RTD signals.
In either case, do not use the cable shield as a signal common / return path.
Route each I/O signal with its own dedicated common wire. Connect common wires at their respective common (CM) points at the I/O module.
Individually connect each 0V point and each common (CM) point in the system to the power supply 0V terminal, unless otherwise specified.
Individually connect each functional earth point ( ) to the earth of the system (preferably to the metal cabinet chassis). Use the shortest and thickest wires possible: less than 1m (3.3’) in length, minimum thickness 14 AWG (2 mm2).
Connect the power supply 0V to the earth of the system.
Earthing the cables’ shield:
- Connect the cable shield to the earth of the system – preferably to the metal cabinet chassis. Note that the shield must be connected only at one end of the cable; typically, earthing the shield at the UIS-WCB1 end performs better.
- Keep shield connections as short as possible.
- Ensure shield continuity when extending shielded cables.

NOTE

For detailed information, refer to the document System Wiring Guidelines, located in the Technical Library in the Unitronics’ website.

Wiring the Power Supply

This module requires an external, regulated 24VDC power supply.

The power supply port is not isolated from the bus; therefore the 0V of the power supply port must be connected to the HMI Panel’s 0V.
Ignoring this directive may damage the device.
Connect the 24V and 0V terminals as shown in the accompanying figure.

Wiring the Digital Inputs

All 10 digital inputs share the common point CM1. The digital inputs may be wired altogether as sink or source.
Inputs I0, I1, I3, and I4 can be configured as either normal digital inputs or as high speed inputs that can receive high speed pulse signals from sensors or shaft encoders.
Inputs I2 and I5 through I9 can function only as normal digital inputs.

High Speed Input Modes
Following are the different pin assignments for the high speed channels:

| Channel 1| | Channel 2
---|---|---|---
I0| I1| I3| I4
Quadrature| Phase A| Phase B| | Phase A| Phase B
Pulse/Direction| Pulse| Direction| | Pulse| Direction

NOTE

Input modes are set both by wiring and software.
When connecting pulse sources without a direction signal, leave the direction pin unconnected. Note that in this configuration, the direction pin cannot be used as normal input.

Input wiring, sink

Input wiring, source

NOTE

Use sink input wiring to connect a sourcing (pnp) device.
Use source input wiring to connect a sinking (npn) device.

Wiring the Analog Inputs
Both inputs share the common point CM0.

NOTE

Each input offers two modes: voltage or current. You can set each input independently. The mode is determined both by wiring and by the hardware configuration within the software application.
Voltage and current modes use distinct points. Connect only the point associated with the selected mode; leave the other point unconnected.

Voltage

Current

4-wire

NOTE

Each input offers three modes: thermocouple, mV or RTD. You can set each input independently. The mode is determined both by wiring and by the hardware configuration within the software application.

In order to maintain correct operation of the temperature inputs, connect together points RTn+ and RTn- of unused temperature inputs and leave point Rn+ unconnected (n designates input number).

Thermocouple and mV

NOTE|
When using thermocouple or mV modes, leave point Rn+unconnected (n designates input number).

About thermocouple isolation
Although the temperature inputs are isolated from the bus and the module’s power-supply port, they are neither isolated from each other nor from the analog inputs. Therefore, temperature inputs isolation may be bypassed when using an exposed-junction (non-isolated) thermocouple in conjunction with analog inputs or another exposed-junction thermocouple, which can lead to flow of unwanted currents through the thermocouple wires that might interfere with thermocouple voltage reading.
In order to maintain temperature inputs isolation when using one or more of the analog inputs or when using more than one thermocouple, either:

Use isolated-junction thermocouples, or, if you are not using the analog inputs, you may use up to one exposed-junction thermocouple per UIS-WCB1 module;
Electrically isolate exposed-junction thermocouples from other electrically-conductive parts of the system
When connecting 3- or 4-wire RTDs, make sure to use conductors of the same type, width, and length for all RTD wires, otherwise module accuracy will degrade.
When connecting 4-wire RTDs, use 3-wire cable and leave the unused wire unconnected with minimal length

Wiring the Relay Outputs

To avoid risk of fire or property damage, always use a limited current source or connect a current limiting device in series with the relay contacts.

All 8 relay outputs share the common point CM5.

Increasing contact life span
To increase the life span of the relay contacts and protect the module from potential damage by reverse EMF, connect

clamping diode in parallel with each inductive DC load.
an RC snubber circuit in parallel with each inductive AC load.

Wiring the Transistor Outputs
Both transistor outputs are of Sink (npn) type.

Connect a current limiting device in series with outputs O0 and O1. These outputs are not short-circuit protected.

Outputs O0 and O1 can independently be configured as either normal digital outputs or as high speed PWM outputs.
Outputs O0 and O1 share the common point CM4.
CM4 is internally connected to the 0V point. To minimize EMI emission by high-speed signals’ wiring, do not externally connect CM4 to the system 0V.

Do not use point CM4 for any purpose other than connecting the digital output load. Using it for any other purpose may damage the module.

Wiring the Analog Outputs

NOTE\

Each output offers two modes: voltage or current. You can set each output independently. The mode is determined both by wiring and by the hardware configuration within the software application.
Voltage and current modes use distinct points. Connect only the point associated with the selected mode; leave the other point unconnected.

Each output has its own common point (CM2 for O0, CM3 for O1). Connect each analog output using its corresponding CM point.
CM2 and CM3 are internally connected to the 0V point. To minimize EMI pickup by analog signals’ wiring, do not externally connect CM2 or CM3 to the system 0V.

Do not use points CM2 or CM3 for any purpose other than connecting the analog output load. Using them for any other purpose may damage the module.

Notes

The UIS-WCB1 utilizes two high speed blocks that can each be assigned either to the inputs or to the outputs.
Four of the digital inputs may be configured to function either as normal, or as high speed digital inputs, that can receive high speed pulse signals from up to two sensors or shaft encoders.
The two transistor outputs may be configured to function either as normal, or as high speed PWM outputs.
The 4-20mA input option is implemented using 0-20mA input range.
The UIS-WCB1 analog inputs measure values that are slightly higher than the nominal input range (Input Over-range).
Note that when the input overflow occurs, it is indicated in the corresponding I/O Status tag while the input value is registered as the maximum permissible value. For example, if the specified input range is 0 ÷ 10V, the Over-range values can reach up to 10.15V, and any input voltage higher than that will still register as 10.15V while the Overflow system tag is turned on.
See LED Indications Table for description of the relevant indications. Note that the diagnostics results are also indicated in the system tags and can be observed through the UniApps™ or the online state of the UniLogic™.
Step response and update time are independent of the number of channels that are used.
The UIS-WCB1 inherently supports 3-wire sensors.
wire sensors may be connected by utilizing 3 of the sensor wires; in-order to achieve the specified performance, all sensor wires shall be of identical type and length just as with a 3-wire sensor connection.

2-wire sensors may also be connected; performance in this case will degrade because of the wires` resistance.
Refer to the UIS-WCB1 installation guide for detailed installation instructions.

Note that when input Overflow, Underflow or a connection fault occurs, it is indicated in the corresponding I/O Status tag (refer to the UniLogic™ help for details) as well as by the respective input LED (see LED Indications), while the input value is registered as follows

Fault Type	Registered Value in the Input Tag
Overflow	32,767
Underflow	-32,767
Connection fault	-32,768

For temperature measurement, the value is represented in 0.1° units. For example, a temperature of 12.3° is represented as 123 at the Value tag.
The overall accuracy for thermocouples is a combination of the per-sensor specified accuracy and the thermocouple cold junction error specification.
The module requires at least 30 minutes of warm-up in order to meet the accuracy specifications.
Sensor connection fault check is active by default for temperature, resistance and mV measurements. This may interfere with some test equipment like RTD, thermocouple, resistance and voltage simulators and thus may induce reading errors or cause malfunction of the test equipment and/or the UIS-WCB1.
In order to interoperate correctly with such equipment, you may set the Disable Fault Detection I/O
tag. This will disable connection fault check for all inputs.
Note that when this tag is set, the UIS-WCB1 will not check, or report, connection faults; thus, the reading in such case is unpredictable.
Life expectancy of the relay contacts depends on the application that they are used in. The product’s installation guide provides procedures for using the contacts with long cables or with inductive loads.
The UIS-WCB1 analog outputs are able to output values that are slightly higher or lower (if applicable) than the nominal output range (Output Over/Under-range respectively).
