Ground-fault detection module

"Ground faults in any control circuit must not lead to inadvertent start-up or potentially hazardous movements or prevent the stoppage of the machine." (IEC 60204-1 / VDE 0113-1).

The AS-Interface ground-fault detection module is used to meet these requirements. Using this module from the SlimLine series, ground faults in AS-Interface systems can be reliably detected and reported.

The following ground faults are detected:

• Ground fault from AS-i "+"
• Ground fault from AS-i "-"
• Ground fault from sensors and actuators which are supplied from the AS-Interface voltage.

Note:

Not suitable for AS-Interface Power24V
