HE 5930 Analog Input Module Overview
HE 5930 Analog Input Module Overview
With dimensions of 99 x 17.5 x 114.5 mm and a vertical use position, the HE 5930 module is designed for compact integration into space-constrained environments. Its use of screw-/plug-in terminals facilitates straightforward electrical connections, accommodating wire cross-sections up to 2.5 mm². This compact and user-friendly design allows for efficient installation and maintenance in tight or complex setups .
The HE 5930 module allows customization of the measuring range via fieldbus parameterization, enabling users to select between current (0..20 mA, 4..20 mA) and voltage (0..10 V, -10..10 V) ranges. This flexibility in configuration accommodates diverse measurement needs and is achieved through parameter settings that are adaptable during installation .
The HE 5930-3 version of the analog input module includes a transducer supply, which allows for the direct connection of transducers or potentiometric transmitters. This module provides each input with 24 V DC (±10%) with a maximum current of 25 mA, which can also be switched to a controlled 5 V DC, suitable for potentiometric transmitters. This built-in power supply feature simplifies the installation and operation of connected devices .
The successive-approximation A/D converter in the HE 5930 module provides precise digital representation of analog signals, crucial for high-resolution measurements. The process involves iterative approximation of the input voltage through comparison, yielding resolution of approximately 2.5 or 5.0 mV per digit, which contributes to the module's ability to handle fine signal changes effectively .
The galvanic isolation in the HE 5930-1 module offers safety and operational advantages by electrically separating the logic part from the inputs, as well as separating the power supply from the inputs. This isolation defends against interference from power surges, protects against electrical noise, and reduces the risk of ground loops, which ensures that inaccurate readings or device damage are less likely .
The module employs two stages of low-pass filtering—an analog filter of the second order with a cutoff frequency of 100 Hz, and a parameterizable digital low-pass filter of the first order. These filters help reduce noise and enhance signal integrity by smoothing and stabilizing the input signals before conversion .
Temperature variations affect input accuracy by causing characteristic curve deviations. For current signals, deviations are ±5 A per 10 K, while for voltage signals they are ±8 mV for 0..10 V and ±11 mV for -10..10 V per 10 K. These deviations must be considered in applications where temperature fluctuations are expected .
The HE 5930 module is compliant with EMC standards (DIN EN 50081 part 2 and DIN EN 50082 part 2), which makes it suitable for environments susceptible to electromagnetic interference. It also meets DIN 40046 IEC68-2-69 shock sensitivity standards, ensuring functionality in physically demanding settings. Furthermore, its IP20 protection class and Polyamide PA 6.6 housing with UL 94 combustibility class V0 contribute to its durability and safety .
The LED displays on the HE 5930 module indicate the status of each channel, aiding in immediate identification of measurement-range excesses or internal errors. This direct visual feedback enhances operational efficiency by allowing quick recognition and correction of issues, thereby minimizing downtime and ensuring reliable module performance .
The HE 5930 analog module uses two varistors for overload protection, which safeguard against overvoltages. These varistors are rated for 20 V and 48 V with an energy absorption capacity of 0.4 Joules . This design effectively limits voltage spikes that could damage the module, ensuring stable operation within these limits.
