smartIO

The optiMEAS smartIO module series extends the smartMini and smartRAIL product series with additional sensors and IOs. Several (different) modules can be can be connected to a smartMini/RAIL system via CAN bus and thus quickly and easily expand measurement signals.

In the version for smartRAIL, the plug connectors for power supply and communication are communication are designed as M12 connectors. The supply voltage is usually between 9 V and 36 V. For older versions of the smartIO (up to serial number xx), a supply voltage of 20 V to 27 V is required.

Standard interfaces

The following describes the standard interfaces that are available for every smartIO module.

Each module is individually tested for dielectric strength and insulation. With the robust aluminum housing and nano-coating of the circuit board, the requirements for requirements for use on rail vehicles are also met.

Power supply and CAN bus

The power supply and communication line to the higher-level device of the smart family (smartMINI, smartRAIL, etc.) are realized in the basic version with Phoenix terminals with a 3.5 mm pitch. CAN and power supply are isolated from the measuring voltages isolated from the measuring voltages. The CAN bus is looped through the device so that simple cascading is also possible with the cascading of several measuring modules is also possible with the terminals. The measuring module is equipped with reverse polarity protection.

In the smartRAIL version, power supply and CAN are available on two M12 connectors according to the Device-Net assignment. The power supply of 24V is looped through from the plug to the socket, as is the CAN bus connection. So several different smartIO modules can be connected in series.

If no further smartIO module follows, the CAN bus must be connected to a connector with an integrated terminating resistor (120 Ohm) or directly at the Phoenix terminal. terminal. CAN-GND is identical to the supply ground.

Commercially available Device-Net cables can be used, which lead from socket to plug. plug can be used. For pre-assembled cables, twisted pair cable bundles must be selected for connection pairs 2 and 3 and 4 and 5, twisted pair cable bundles must be selected. For the inputs, Phoenix terminals with a 3.5 mm pitch are normally used, unless otherwise specified. terminals with a 3.5 mm pitch are normally used for the measurement inputs. The coding of the connectors makes it possible to pre-assembly of the connectors and a mix-up-proof connection is possible.
