SENECA K109TC Temperature Insulated Converter Instruction Manual

General Description

The K109TC instrument is a 4-point galvanic insulator. It converts a temperature signal read by a thermocouple into a signal normalized in voltage or current; besides it has a passive output which commutates at the overcoming of a threshold set through a button on the front.
The module’s main features are its compact size (6.2 mm), attachment to a 35 mm DIN rail, bus-connector power supply option, quick connection by spring terminals, and easy configuration in the field by DIP-switch.

AUXILIARY OUTPUT

Description

The auxiliary output has been designed in order to pilot an indicator, a relay of greater power or the input of a supervisor control system. Through this output the K109 TC instrument may generate an alarm or may be utilized like a thermostat. The state Normal of the output depends on the configuration for the fault of the primary output, so on the setting of the correspondent dip- switch SW2.7 (see table). Details of Dip-Switch SW2.7
Since during the regulation of the threshold the primary output assumes the value of the threshold, it is advisable to connect an instrument of measure (a multimeter for example) to the primary output. Therefore the value in V or mA of the threshold depends on the scale of the chosen output. The switching is instantaneous to the overcoming of the set up value.

Setting of the threshold

The regulation of the threshold is performed through a button present under the frontal cover and accessible through the hole by using a little screwdriver. The operation has to be performed when the module is correctly supplied. It will be necessary to follow the next procedure:

• Pressed and released the button, the primary output starts to represent the value of threshold. At this point the red led flashes slowly.
• If within 5 seconds there is no pression, the system returns to the normal functioning.
• On the contrary at every further pressure, there is an increment or decrement of approximately 0,2 %; the direction of the variation depends on the Normal state of the output and therefore on the dip-switch SW2.7 so that the commutation occurs exactly at the set value, leaving the effect of the hysteresis only at the reset.
• If the button is not released but continues to be pressed, after 2 seconds a continuous increment of 3% starts.
• Reached the maximum/minimum value of the chosen scale, the cycle starts again.
• During the regulation of the threshold, the auxiliary output follows the normal functioning, opening and closing, as previously set.
• After 5 seconds of button’s inactivity, the set value is memorized and the instrument continues with the normal functioning

Note:
The threshold may not be modified in case of internal fault. If the power supply is not sufficient during the regulation or before the 5 seconds of button’s inactivity are elapsed, the new value will not be memorized.

Installation rules

This module has been designed for assembly on a DIN 46277 rail. Assembly in vertical position is recommended in order to increase the module’s ventilation, and no raceways or other objects that compromise aeration must be positioned in the vicinity.
Do not position the module above equipment that generates heat; we recommend positioning the module in the lower part of the control panel or container compartment.
We recommend rail-type assembly using the corresponding bus connector (Code K-BUS) that eliminates the need to connect the power supply to each module.

Inserting the module in the rail

1. Attach the module in the upper part of the rail.
2. Press the module downwards. **

**

Removing the module from the rail

1. Apply leverage using a screwdriver (as shown in the figure).
2. Rotate the module upwards.
   

Using the K-BUS

1. Compose the K-BUS connectors as required in order to obtain the number of positions necessary (each K-BUS permits the insertion of no. 2 modules).
   

2. Insert the K-BUS connectors in the rail by positioning them on the upper side of the rail and then rotating them downwards

IMPORTANT: Pay particular attention to the poition of the protrudent terminals of the s K-BUS. The K-bus must be inserted in the guide with the protrudent terminals on the left (as shown in the figure) otherwise the modules are turned upside downs.

• Never connect the power supply directly to the bus connector on the DIN rail.
• Never tap power supply from the bus connector either directly or by using the module’s terminals.

SETTING OF THE DIP-SWITCHES

Factory setting

All the module DIP switches are at pos. 0 as default configuration. This set corresponds to the following default configuration :

• Thermocouple Type: J
• Line Rejection: 50 Hz
• Input Filter: Present
• Measurement Range: 0…1000 °C
• Output Signal: 4..20 mA
• Output Signal in case of fault: Towards the top of the output range
• Over-Range: YES: a 2.5% over-range value is acceptable; a 5% over-range value is considered a malfunction.

Auxiliary Output

• Threshold : 0% of the nominal scale

It is understood that this configuration is valid only with all the DIP switches at position 0. If also one Dip is moved, it is necessary to set all the other parameter as indicated on the following tables.

Note: for all following tables
The indication indicates that the DIP-switch is set in Position 1 (ON).
No indication is provided when the DIP-switch is set in Position 0 (OFF).

Electrical Connections

The module has been designed for spring-type terminal electrical connections.
Proceed as follows to make the connections:

1. Strip the cables by 0.8 mm
2. Insert a screwdriver in the square hole and press it until the cable lock spring opens.
3. Insert the cable in the round hole.
4. Remove the screwdriver and make sure that the cable is tightly fastened in the terminal.
   

Power supply

There are various ways to provide the K Series modules with power.

1. Direct power supply to the modules by connecting 24 Vdc power supply directly to Terminals 7 ( + ) and 8 ( – ) of each module.

2. Using the K-BUS connector accessory for the distribution of the power supply to the modules via bus connector, in this way eliminating the need to connect power supply to each module.
   The bus can be supplied from any of the modules; the total absorption of the bus must be less than 400 mA. Higher absorption values can damage the module. An appropriately sized fuse must be connected in series to the power supply.

3. Using the K-BUS connector accessory for the distribution of the power supply to the modules via bus connector and the K-SUPPLY accessory for the connection of the power supply. The K-SUPPLY accessory is a 6.2 mm wide module that contains a set of protections designed to protect the modules connected via bus against over-voltage loads.
   The bus connector can be provided with power using the K-SUPPLY module if the total absorption of the bus is less than 1.5 A. Higher absorption values can damage both the module and the bus.An appropriately sized fuse must be connected in series to the power supply.
   

Input

The module accepts input from the following types of thermocouples: J, K, E, N, S, R, B, T.
The use of shield cables is recommended for the electronic connections.

Output
