ing system. The controller acts as master for the

serial I/O-bus (local I/O-Interface and Wired-ORBus).
It is responsible for interface management, event
handling, the time base and for preservation of
relevant data. System relevant configuration files
are stored in the non-volatile flash memory in order to guarantee a valid system configuration after
power on reset. An optional battery buffered RTC
is used to keep an exact time during power off
state.

Multi I/O board

The I/O functionality consists of several sub functions.

Application

Analog Input

The 511CIM01 is a unit consisting of a communication unit (CMU), a multi-I/O board and a power
supply in a durable module housing, which could
be mounted on a standard DIN rail.

6 analog input channels could be used for current

or voltage measurements in various sensitivity
ranges:
unipolar

The essential tasks of the 511CIM01 are:

Capturing of 6 analog input signals

(mA or V measurement)

Capturing of 16 digital input signals

Output of 8 digital signals by relay

(1 out of n) check for commands

Managing and controlling of external I/O

modules via serial interface (Wired-ORBus)

Communicating with control centers and

local MMI systems via integrated serial
line and LAN interfaces

Managing the time base for the base

module and synchronizing the I/O boards

Handling of the dialog between RTU and

Web-Browser via LAN or USB interface

The 511CIM01 is available in following 4 versions:

R0001: 24 48 V DC process voltage
R0011: 24 48 V DC process voltage
with battery buffered RTC
R0002: 60 110 V DC process voltage
R0012: 60 110 V DC process voltage

The differential inputs are protected against static

and dynamic over-voltages by a protection circuit.
A low-pass filter suppresses non line frequency
AC disturbance. Configuration is done by switches, shunt resistors and configuration data.

Binary Input
The board supplies 16 galvanic isolated digital input channels for binary values. Scanning and processing of the inputs is executed with the high
time resolution of 1 ms. Allocation of an input to a
processing function could be done according the
rules of configuration. Following types of signals
could be processed:
max. 16 single indications with time stamp
max. 8 double indications with time stamp
max. 2 digital measured values with 8 bit

Communication unit

max. 1 digital measured value with 16 bit

The communication unit is equipped with an

Data Sheet Base Module 511CIM01
Binary Output
The binary output part of the board provides 8
galvanic isolated digital outputs using relay contacts. Following types of signals could be configured:

Object commands with 1 or 2 pole output

without (1 out of n) check

Object commands with 1.5 or 2 pole with

(1 out of n) check

Regulation commands, 1 and 2 pole

Digital setpoints (8 bit)

Bitstring commands (1, 2 or 8 bit)

(1 out of n) check
The integrated interface could be used to check
the resistance of an external process relay, before
a command is executed. The interface performs a
(1 out of n) check to ensure that only one process
relay is switched at that time.

Relay Voltage UE
The relay voltage 24 V DC could be used to supply the binary output modules 23BO62/211BOD52
or the analog output modules 23AO60.

Power supply
The power supply unit operates in wide input
range from 24 to 110 V DC.
The power supply unit generates the internal supply voltages 24 V DC, 18 V DC, 15 V DC and 5
V DC and the galvanic isolated process voltage of
24 V DC. It is placed on top of the Multi I/O board.
In addition an I/O subrack with 4 I/O modules
(max. 16 I/O boards) could be fed via the WiredOR bus.

Characteristics
Communication unit
The Communication Unit provides the following
interfaces:

Communication Port 1 (CP1): Serial interface according RS485 with RJ45 connector

Communication Port 2 (CP2): Serial interface according RS232 with RJ45 connector

Ethernet Interface (E1): 10/100BaseT with

RJ45 connector

Communication Port 3 (CPM): Serial interface according RS232 with supply outputs 15 V DC and 5 V DC for Modem
applications

Alarm-Interface with two galvanic isolated

inputs and one galvanic isolated output

Serial I/O-Bus interface (WRB) for communication with the I/O-modules.

USB 2.0-Interface for accessing the web

server

The communication unit indicates operational and

error states by LEDs. The exact definition of the
LED has to be taken from the functional description of the firmware release.

Multi I/O board
Binary Input
Analog Input
Basic checks and cyclic processing functions are
done by the communication unit.
During initialization and operation the communication unit carries out a number of tests. A failure of
the board is detected by the communication unit
The 6 differential inputs are not potentially isolated
against the power supply. It is only permitted to
connect SELV circuits.
The board resolves unipolar or bipolar values into
2000 steps (11 bit plus sign) for 100% of the
measuring signal.
The differential inputs are protected against static
and dynamic over voltages up to 150 V DC by a
protection circuit.

16 inputs are available in 2 groups of 8 inputs with

common return. The inputs are potentially isolated
by means of opto-couplers. The board allows process signal voltages from 24 to 48 V DC or with a
second variant from 60 to 110 V DC.
16 LEDs to indicate the signal state are mounted
on the power supply unit. The LEDs follow directly
the inputs.
The maximum permissible frequency for counter
pulses is 25 Hz.
The binary input can execute the following processing functions for the different types of signals:

Digital filtering to suppress contact

bounce

Suppression of technologically caused

chattering signals

Intermediate position suppression and

monitoring for double indications

Consistency check for all binary input

channels allocated to digital measured
values

Summation of increment pulses to form

counter values in 31-bit counter value registers

Relocation of count values into other relocation registers upon request

Figure 1: Block diagram analog input

Measuring range and line frequency are easily to

configure with switch registers respectively jumpers. This information is needed to setup the A/D
converter.
Measurement ranges and line frequency will be
configured by configuration parameter. The line
frequency is used to set up the conversion time of
the A/D converter. This will result in the total scan
cycle time for all six channels according to Table 3
(5 ms Hold time included for the multiplexer).

R00x2:
Due to thermal conditions in the range
110 126.5 V DC only 50% or less of
the input signals may have active signals at the same time.

Binary Output
Relay contacts are used for the binary outputs.
The 8 outputs are galvanic isolated against the
electronic by optical coupler. They are also fully
galvanic isolated against each other. All 8 outputs
have a separate return. If using relay as load in
the process circuit a free-wheeling diode shall be
used.
8 LEDs to indicate the output states are mounted
on the power supply unit.

(1 out of n) check
In order to increase the command output security,
the board is equipped with an integrated (1 out of
n) check circuit. This circuit checks the resistance
of the connected process coils, and compares the
value with a parameter value range.
Two transistor outputs are available to connect
two external relays (GO -, Measurement relay).

The power supply unit has following characteristics and functions:
Cooling by natural convection
Electronic power limitation
Short-circuit protection
Over-voltage protection
2 fuses for main and process supply

status of the binary I/Os
The input voltage is galvanic isolated against the
output voltages.
