Functions

Selection of signal type per channel

bEach M12, 5-pin connector on Advantys FTM splitter boxes allows the connection

of 2 signals. Depending on the type of splitter box, these can be: v 1 sensor input signal,

v 1 diagnostic input signal, v 1 actuator output signal.

Signal type, depending on digital splitter box selected:

 

 

FTM 1DD

FTM 1DE

M12 and M8

Note: either a normally open (N/O) or a normally closed (N/C) contact can be chosen for each input signal.

Diagnostics

Each Advantys FTM splitter box has one LED per channel to indicate the status of the channel and to enable fast and precise location of a fault. Fault monitoring diagnostics are indicated on the splitter box by LEDs and are fed back to the control system (PLC) via the bus.

There are 2 levels of diagnostics:

bdiagnostics per channel,

bdiagnostics per splitter box.

Diagnostics per channel

bSensor short-circuit

A short-circuit or overload on contact 1 of the M12 or M8 female connector blows the self-resetting fuse. Each M12 or M8 connector is individually protected. A red LED indicates the fault on the corresponding M12 or M8 connector. This fault is signalled to the Master. Supply to the sensors is automatically restored after elimination of the fault.

bActuator short-circuit

A short-circuit or overload of an output causes a reset of this output. The fault is signalled to the Master. A red LED indicates the fault on the corresponding M12 or M8 connector. The output does not restart automatically. After having eliminated the cause of the fault, the channel must be reset by the PLC. This operation erases the short-circuit memory.

bActuator warning

When the output is at state 0, the contact corresponding to the M12 or M8 female connector is checked for presence of 24 V voltage. If + 24 V is present, it means there is a “short-circuit”. A red LED indicates the fault on the corresponding M12 or M8 connector. The fault is signalled to the Master.
