BANNER R95C 8 Port Discrete Bimodal Modbus Hub User Guide

R95C 8-Port Discrete Bimodal to Modbus® Hub

Quick Start Guide

This guide is designed to help you set up and install the R95C 8-Port Discrete Bimodal to Modbus® Hub. For complete information on programming, performance, troubleshooting, dimensions, and accessories, please refer to the Instruction Manual at www.bannerengineering.com. Search for p/n 231261 to view the Instruction Manual. Use of this document assumes familiarity with pertinent industry standards and practices.

• Compact bimodal to Modbus® device converter that connects discrete inputs and outputs the value
• Enabled Delay Modes: ON/OFF Delay, ON/OFF One-shot, ON/OFF/Retriggerable Oneshot, ON/OFF Pulse-stretcher and Totalizer
• Measurement Metrics: Count, Events Per Minute (EPM), and Duration
• Discrete Mirroring: Discrete signals (In/Out) from all eight ports can be mirrored to any of the eight ports, Discrete Out, or the host white wire output
• Outputs a discrete value as an input to a defined Modbus register
• Discrete input/output can be independently configured as NPN or PNP
• Rugged over-molded design meets IP65, IP67, and IP68
• Connects directly to a sensor or anywhere in-line for ease of use
• R95C Modbus hubs are a quick, easy, and economical way to integrate non-Modbus devices into a Modbus system

Overview

The R95C-8B21-MQ hub connects two discrete channels to each of the eight unique ports, providing access to monitoring and configuring those ports via Modbus® registers. Host mirroring is available where a selected port input/output discrete signal can be routed to Pin 5 (male) on the PLC/ Host connection.

Mechanical Installation

Install the R95C 8-Port Hub to allow access for functional checks, maintenance, and service or replacement. Do not install the R95C 8-Port Hub in such a way to allow for intentional defeat.

All mounting hardware is supplied by the user. Fasteners must be of sufficient strength to guard against breakage. Use of permanent fasteners or locking hardware is recommended to prevent the loosening or displacement of the device. The mounting hole (4.5 mm) in the R95C 8-Port Hub accepts M4 (#8) hardware. See the figure below to help in determining the minimum screw length.

1. MOUNTING SCREW

CAUTION: Do not overtighten the R95C 8-Port Hub’s mounting screw during installation. Overtightening can affect the performance of the R95C 8-Port Hub.

Status Indicators

The R95C 8-Port Discrete Bimodal to Modbus® Hub has matching amber LED indicators on both sides for each discrete device port to allow for installation needs and still provide adequate indication visibility. There is also an additional amber LED indicator on both sides of the converter, which is specific to Modbus communication.

Discrete Device Amber LEDs

Indication| Status
Off| Discrete OUT is inactive
Solid Amber| Discrete OUT is active
Power Indicator Green LED

Indication| Status
Off| Power off
Solid Green| Power on
Modbus Communication Amber LED

Indication| Status
Off| Modbus communications are not present
Flashing Amber (4 Hz)| Modbus communications are active
Solid Amber for 2 Seconds, Then to Off| Modbus communications are lost after connection
Solid Amber for 2 Seconds, Then to Flashing Amber (4 Hz)| Modbus communications momentarily lost, but then communication was reestablished
