Important information about voltage areas
3 Important information about voltage areas
3.1 Voltage areas for Inline Modular IO and

Inline Block IO
Inline Block IO modules are available for the SELV area

Inline Modular IO terminals are available for the SELV and low voltage areas. The terminals
are divided into three product groups according to their use in a specific voltage area and
their function.
Table 3-1 Voltage areas and corresponding terminal designations for Inline
Voltage area Voltage used for Inline Product group
SELV 24 V DC Low-level signal terminals;
Low voltage 120 V AC Low voltage terminals; AC
230 V AC terminals
400 V AC Power-level terminals
Observe the safety notes in the following sections when working outside the SELV area.

IL SYS INST UM E
3.2 Correct usage
Inline Block IO modules and Inline Modular IO terminals should only be used according to
the instructions in the terminal-specific data sheets and this user manual. Phoenix Contact
accepts no liability if the device is used for anything other than its designated use.
When used in the SELV area:
NOTE: Disregarding this warning may result in malfunction

Do not replace terminals while the power is connected.
Before removing or mounting a terminal, disconnect power to the entire station.
Make sure the entire station is reassembled before switching the power back on.
When used in the low voltage area:
WARNING: Dangerous contact voltage

Do not replace terminals while the power is connected.

Please note that there are dangerous contact voltages when switching circuits that do
meet SELV requirements.
When working on the terminals and wiring, always switch off the supply voltage and
ensure it cannot be switched on again.
3.3 Notes for Inline Modular IO
3.3.1 Safety notes for use in the low voltage area
Only qualified personnel (qualified electricians or persons instructed in electrical

engineering) may work on Inline terminals outside the SELV area.
The instructions given in the terminal-specific data sheets must be followed during
installation and startup.
An electrician is a person who, because of their education, experience, and instruction,

and their knowledge of relevant standards, can assess any required operations and
recognize any possible dangers. (Definitions according to DIN VDE 1000-10:1995).
A person instructed in electrical engineering is someone who has been instructed by
an electrician in their required tasks and the possible dangers caused by incorrect handling
and, if necessary, has also been informed of the necessary safety equipment and safety
measures. (Definitions according to DIN VDE 1000-10:1995).

3.3.2 Safety notes for electrical equipment used in industrial

plants with a 400 V AC voltage

The electrical power-level terminals for the 400 V AC area and connected machines refer
to equipment used in industrial plants. During operation, this equipment has dangerous,
live, moving or rotating parts. These can therefore cause considerable damage to health
or equipment, e.g., due to the unauthorized removal of protective covers or inadequate
maintenance.
– Only qualified personnel may work on the power-level terminals or system (for the
definition, see Section 3.3.1 on page 16).
– When working on the power-level terminals and the system, you must always keep
the operating instructions and other items of product documentation to hand and
observe the information therein.
– It is prohibited for unqualified personnel to work on the power-level terminals, on the
machine or in their vicinity.
The instructions given in the terminal-specific data sheets must be followed
during installation and startup.
The notes on the procedures and the circuit details presented in the terminal-specific data
sheets should be understood in a general sense and the relevant application should be
tested to see if they apply.
Phoenix Contact cannot guarantee the suitability of the procedures or the circuit
suggestions described for the relevant application.
3.3.3 Installation instructions and notes for low voltage

terminals

Please note that there are dangerous contact voltages when switching circuits that do
meet SELV requirements.
Connecting and disconnecting the terminals for the 120 V AC and 230 V AC voltage areas
is only permitted if the power supply is disconnected.
When working on the terminals and wiring, always switch off the supply voltage and
ensure it cannot be switched on again.
WARNING: Dangerous contact voltage in the event of ground faults

(e.g., because the FI circuit breaker has not tripped or the star point connection is "free")
Inline terminals for the 120 V AC and 230 V AC voltage areas should only be operated in
grounded AC voltage networks (AC networks).
3.3.3.1 Structure of a 120 V AC/230 V AC area

A 120 V AC/230 V AC area must have a power terminal at one end and an end terminal at
the other.

IL SYS INST UM E
I/O terminals for these voltage areas can be used between these terminals. The number of
terminals is limited by the system limits of the bus system and the Inline system (see
Section 11, “Inline Modular IO: Technical data and ordering data”).

6 Various I/O terminals for the 24 V DC area
3.3.3.2 Fuse protection for a 120 V AC/230 V AC area

Each 120 V AC/230 V AC area must be protected by its own external fuse. Select the rating
of the fuse according to the strength of the cable. The maximum fuse value is 8 A. For
additional restrictions, please refer to the data sheets for the power terminals.

3.3.3.3 Connecting the power supply and I/O in the 120 V AC/230 V AC area

The supply voltage must only be provided at the appropriate power terminal.
If you provided voltage to several places in an incomplete Inline station, there would be a
danger of touching live parts.
The connecting cables of all actuators and sensors must only be connected to the Inline
terminals for the relevant voltage area. The use of external bus bars for group potentials is
not permitted.
3.3.3.4 Interrupting PE jumpering in the 120 V AC/230 V AC area

The PE jumper begins at the power terminal of the 120 V AC/230 V AC area and, in a
complete AC voltage area, ends at the end terminal.
If a terminal is removed from this area, the PE jumper is interrupted.
If the installation instructions have been followed, all subsequent terminals will be
disconnected.
3.3.4 Electronics base and connectors for the different voltage

areas
Power-level terminals are located in a power housing.

Low-level signal terminals and low voltage terminals are located in the same type of
housing, which is referred to as low-level signal housing. An external feature that
distinguishes the base and the corresponding connectors of low voltage terminals from the
base and connectors of low-level signal terminals is their color:
Table 3-2 Base and connector colors for the different voltage areas
Area Terminal Connector Other differences

Low-level signal Green Green or Light color for function identification

3.3.5 Safety mechanisms to prevent incorrect connection of

terminals for different voltage areas
3.3.5.1 Protection against the insertion of 24 V DC terminals and power-level

terminals in the 120 V AC/230 V AC area
Low-level signal terminals and power-level terminals cannot be snaped-on within a low
voltage area because there is no keyway on the right-hand side of the low voltage terminals
(120 V AC/230 V AC).

The power terminals for the 24 V DC area can be inserted in a 120 V AC/230 V AC area.
The minimum isolating distance in this case is the distance between two adjacent
connectors. This isolating distance is not permitted. Therefore, only use end terminals that
are designed for terminating the 120 V AC/230 V AC area.
3.3.5.2 Protection against the connection of 24 V connectors to 120 V AC/230 V

AC terminals
The two terminal points for the low voltage I/O terminals are closed using filler plugs. The
connectors for low-level signal terminals therefore do not fit on the low voltage terminals.
Exception 1: The low-level signal connectors can be plugged into 120 V AC/230 V AC
power terminals.
This connection error has no hazardous effect on the electrical components, but it can lead
to system malfunctions.
Only the appropriate connectors should therefore be plugged into the low voltage power
terminals.
Exception 2: The low-level signal connectors can be plugged into relay terminals. Because
the relay outputs are floating, this connection error has no adverse effects.
3.3.5.3 Protection against the connection of live 120 V AC/230 V AC connectors

in the 24 V DC area
If the connectors for the I/O terminals are wired according to the installation instructions,
they are disconnected from the power supply when removed.
The following connectors may be live in the low voltage area:
1 Connectors of the power terminals for the 120 V AC and 230 V AC areas
2 Connectors for relay terminals
These connectors are closed using filler plugs in some places and therefore do not fit on the
terminals of the 24 V area.

3.3.6 Response to the connection of a 120 V AC or 230 V AC

terminal in the 24 V DC area
An AC terminal can be inserted in the 24 V DC area. The effects are described in Table 3-3.
A 24 V DC terminal cannot be inserted accidentally in an AC area as these terminals are

not mechanically compatible.

This is likely to be caused by a malfunction of the actuator connected to the
relevant output.
Digital AC input terminal in the No danger to people or machines.

24 V DC area
The input does not function due to missing ground.
Relay terminal in the 24 V No direct danger to people.
DC area
The module has no diagonal routing, so there is no direct danger from the terminal, even
with a 230 V connector. This means that the shortest isolating distance is the distance
from one connector to the next. This isolating distance is not permitted. Therefore, insert
a distance terminal (order designation IB IL DOR LV-SET) before and after the relay ter-
minal.
AC end terminal in the 24 V No danger to people or machines.

Inline ECO terminals enhance the Inline portfolio by inexpensive and especially simple ter-
minals providing basic functionality. You can recognize these terminals by the “ECO” spec-
ified in the order designation. You can install Inline ECO terminals in series behind Inline bus
couplers or Inline controllers, and combine them with standard terminals. Please note that
if an Inline ECO terminal is used, the permissible ambient temperature for the station is lim-
ited to 0 °C to 55 °C.
Features of Inline ECO terminals
– No parameterization required (for digital and analog input and output terminals)
– Limited temperature range for operation: 0 °C ... 55 °C
– Scope of supply: electronics base and required connectors
– Analog and function modules come without shield plug.

4.2.3 Transmission speed in the local bus
It is possible to operate at a transmission speed of 500 kbps or 2 Mbps within an Inline

station.
Items designed for 2 Mbps are indicated by the extension "-2MBD" in the order designation.
The versions without this extension are designed for 500 kbps.
In the product range, terminals with 500 kbps are basic versions. Some (not all) of the
terminals are also available as 2MBD versions. Additional information about the available
terminals can be found in the latest catalog or on the Internet at
NOTE:
Use the same transmission speed throughout an Inline station. The station cannot operate
otherwise. Make sure that your bus coupler supports this transmission speed in the local
bus.
For INTERBUS, a separate bus coupler version is available for each transmission speed.
Bus couplers for other bus systems may only support terminals with 500 kbps or even both
transmission speeds in the local bus.
For details of which transmission speed your bus coupler can use within the local bus,
please refer to the corresponding documentation.
Examples Examples of order designations:

IB IL 24 DO 4-PAC 500 kbps; complete with accessories (connector and labeling field)
IB IL 24 DO 4-2MBD-PAC 2 Mbps; complete with accessories (connector and labeling field)
Convention for this The PAC version for 500 kbps is used in the following examples. However, all information
document also applies for the versions for 2 Mbps and the versions without accessories.

4.2.6.2 Power terminals

A power terminal is used to supply the required voltages to the internal station potential
jumpers. Several power terminals can be used in one station. This means that different
circuits can be electrically isolated and areas with different voltages can be created within
the station (e.g., 24 V DC and 230 V AC).
All power terminals are used to supply the main voltage and/or segment voltage.
A 24 V supply voltage is also supplied at the IB IL 24 PWR IN/R-PAC and
IB IL 24 PWR IN/PS-PAC terminals, from which the communications power UL and the
analog voltage UANA are generated. These terminals are mainly designed to boost the
communications power and analog voltage when the maximum current carrying capacity of
the potential jumpers for UL/UANA or the maximum current carrying capacity of the bus
coupler for UL/UANA is reached.

Figure 4-3 Example of a power terminal: IB IL 24 PWR IN-PAC
Voltage areas Depending on the power terminal, it is possible to work with 24 V DC, 120 V AC or 230 V AC
within an Inline station.
To utilize different voltage areas within a station, a new power terminal must be used for
each area.

When the power terminal is removed, the metal contacts are freely accessible. With 120 V
AC or 230 V AC power terminals, it should be assumed that dangerous contact voltage is
present. You must disconnect power to the station before removing a terminal.
If these instructions are not followed, there is a danger of damage to health or
even of a life-threatening injury.
Observe safety notes

Observe the notes provided in Section “Important information about voltage areas” on
page 15 when using voltages outside the SELV area.

IL SYS INST UM E
Potential jumpers The power terminal interrupts all potential jumpers for the voltages to be reinjected, and
recreates all potential jumpers (see also Section “Electrical potential and data routing
(Inline Modular IO)” on page 73).
Carrying capacity of the The maximum current carrying capacity of the jumper contacts on the side is specified in
jumper contacts Section “Current and voltage distribution” on page 84.
Electrical isolation The power terminal is used to create electrically isolated I/O areas within a station.
Functional earth 24 V power terminals are connected to functional earth ground when they are snapped onto
grounding (24 V DC) the grounded DIN rail via the FE spring on the bottom of the terminal. This spring is
connected to the FE potential jumper and to the terminal points for an FE connection.
If the previous terminal is a 24 V terminal, the power terminal is connected to the FE potential
jumper of the station when it is snapped onto this terminal.
Required additional A 120 V AC and 230 V AC voltage level area interrupts the FE jumper, which is connected
functional earth to FE via the additional functional earth grounding at the bus coupler. A 24 V DC power
grounding (24 V DC) terminal that is at a different voltage area must therefore be reconnected to functional earth
ground via the FE connection to ensure reliable functional earth grounding of the station
even if the FE spring is dirty or damaged. Connect the terminal points for the FE connection
to a grounded PE terminal (see Section “Grounding concept” on page 106).
Protective earth The PE terminal point of the power connector connects the 120 V AC and 230 V AC power
grounding terminals to protective earth ground (PE). This terminal point is connected to the PE
(120 V AC/230 V AC) potential jumper, which is led through the entire 120 V AC or 230 V AC voltage area.

For more detailed information about the function, properties, and wiring of the individual
terminals, please refer to the terminal-specific documentation.

4.2.6.3 Segment terminals

Segment terminals can only be used in the 24 V DC area. Segment terminals can be used
to create partial circuits (segment circuits) within the main circuit.
On segment terminals without a fuse, the connection between the main circuit UM and the
segment circuit US must be established using a jumper or a switch. Segment terminals with
a fuse establish this connection automatically.

with a safe protocol (SafetyBridge technology, PROFIsafe). In this type of bus system, the
safe data is transmitted between the safe controller and the safety modules via the bus

SafetyBridge Technology SafetyBridge Technology means that input and output modules exchange safety-related
signals with each other. Since the modules process the safety functions themselves, they
use the standard controller and network only for transport purposes.
Without a safety controller or safe fieldbus system, this is a cost-effective solution for func-
tional safety in standard applications.

Scope of supply Inline Block IO modules are available as complete items. The following are supplied as
standard with a complete item:
– The electronics base
– All required Inline connectors
Bus system Inline Block IO modules are available for various bus systems (see Table 4-1).
Power supply All the required voltages are supplied at each individual Inline Block IO module.
Voltage areas Inline Block IO modules are available for the 24 V DC voltage area.
Functions Inline Block IO modules are available with various functions. These include the following
terminals, for example: The text in brackets indicates the function according to the order
designation.
– Digital input and output terminals (DI, DO, DIO)
– Analog input and output terminals (AI, AO)
Protection Overload protection of the system must be provided by the operator. The rating of the
preconnected fuse must be such that the maximum load current is not exceeded. For the
maximum permissible load current of an I/O module, please refer to the module-specific
data sheet.

Grounding (FE) All Inline Block IO modules have an FE spring (metal clip) on the bottom of the electronics
base. This spring establishes an electrical connection to the DIN rail. Use grounding
terminals to connect the DIN rail to protective earth ground. The module is grounded when
it is snapped onto the DIN rail.
To ensure reliable functional earth grounding of the module even when the DIN rail is dirty
or the metal clip is damaged, Phoenix Contact also recommends grounding the module via
one of the FE terminal points of a power connector.
Shielding Shield connectors are available for connecting shielded cables.
Parameterization Some modules can be parameterized via process data or PCP. For detailed information,
please refer to the module-specific data sheet.
Data formats The measured values and the corresponding output values of analog modules can be
represented in different data formats depending on the module used and its configuration.
These formats are listed in the relevant module-specific data sheets.
Diagnostics The scope of the diagnostics depends on the module used and is specified in the relevant
module-specific data sheet.

5.1.2 Electronics base
The electronics base holds the entire electronics for an Inline terminal and the potential and
data routing.
Potential and data routing Potential and data routing are located in the base. As all terminals are snapped onto the DIN
rail, the position of the interfaces between the terminals in relation to the DIN rail is the same
for all terminals. The advantage of this is that terminals of different sizes can be integrated
into the station.
The knife contacts are located on the left-hand side of the terminal (shown in Figure 5-1).
They snap into the featherkeys of the next terminal on the left when the station is mounted.
The type of routing contacts (i.e., potential or data) that are on each terminal depends on
the function of the terminal and is shown in the circuit diagram of the relevant terminal-
Snap-on Pressing the front and back snap-on mechanism at the same time releases the latching,
mechanism/latching enabling the terminal to be removed by pulling it straight back from the DIN rail (see Section
“Basic information about mounting” on page 100).
Keyway/featherkey The featherkeys are on the left-hand side of the terminal (Figure 5-1). They snap into the
connection keyways of the next terminal on the left when the terminal is mounted on the DIN rail. The
featherkeys are also referred to as locking clips and the keyways as guideways.
Base colors The base and the appropriate connectors for the different voltage areas are of different
colors (see Section “Electronics base and connectors for the different voltage areas” on
page 19).
5.1.3 Connectors for terminals in the 24 V DC and

The I/O or supply voltages are connected using a pluggable connector. For more detailed

connection keyways of the next terminal on the left when the terminal is mounted on the DIN rail.
5.1.5 Connectors for power-level terminals
The mains voltage, motor output, brake module, hand-held operator panel mode, and the
enable power level/24 V isolation functions are connected via connectors.

A Standard connector
The green standard connector is used for the connection of two signals in 4-wire
technology or 8 signals in 1-wire technology (e.g., digital I/O signals).
The black standard connector is used to supply the supply voltage. Some of the
adjacent contacts can be jumpered internally (see Figure 6-4 on page 66).
B Shield connector for connecting one cable
C Shield connector for connecting two cables
Green connectors B and C are used for signals connected using shielded cables
(e.g., analog I/O signals, high-frequency counter inputs, remote bus cable).
FE or shielding is connected via a shield connection clamp rather than via a terminal
point.
D Extended double signal connector
The green double signal connector is used for the connection of four signals in 3-wire
technology (e.g., digital I/O signals).
The black double signal connector is used to supply the supply voltage. Some of the
adjacent contacts can be jumpered internally (see Figure 6-4 on page 66).

IL SYS INST UM E
Connector identification All connectors are available with and without color print. The connectors with color print
(indicated with CP in the order designation) have terminal points that are color-coded
according to their functions. The following colors indicate the signals of the terminal points:

Green Functional earth ground (FE)
Green/yellow Functional earth ground (FE);
This marking may still be seen on older connectors. Functional earth
ground is marked in green on modern connectors.
Internal jumpering Depending on their function, the connectors may support internal jumpering.

To avoid malfunction, only snap the connector onto an appropriate terminal. Refer to the
relevant terminal-specific data sheet to select the correct connectors.
Only place black connectors on power or segment terminals.
When the terminal points are jumpered in the black connector, potential is routed through
the jumpering in the connector and not through the printed circuit board of the terminal.
The complete current carrying capacity is ensured through this jumpering.
A black connector must not be placed on a terminal that is to be used for a double signal
connector. Incorrect connection may lead to a short circuit between two signal terminal
points.

Electrical potential and data routing (Inline Modular IO)
7 Electrical potential and data routing (Inline Modular IO)
The Project+ software provides support when configuring an Inline station (see Section
“Appendix: Software support” on page 167).
7.1 Circuits and provision of supply voltages
There are several circuits within an Inline station. These are automatically created when the
terminals are properly installed. The voltages of the different circuits are supplied to the
connected terminals via potential jumpers.
An example of the circuits within an Inline station is given in Section “Example of a circuit
diagram” on page 78. The descriptions in the following sections refer to this example.
Please refer to the terminal-specific data sheet for the circuit to which the I/O circuit of a
specific terminal is to be connected.
Carrying capacity of the Observe the maximum current carrying capacity of the jumper contacts on the side for each
jumper contacts circuit. The current carrying capacities for all potential jumpers are given in the following
sections and are summarized in Section “Current and voltage distribution” on page 84.
For the arrangement of the potential jumpers and information about current and voltage
distribution on the potential jumpers, please refer to Section “Electrical potential and data
routing” on page 80.
The connection of the supply voltages is described in Section “Connecting the power
supplies” on page 128.
For voltage connection, please observe the notes in the terminal-specific data sheets.
7.1.1 Bus coupler supply
Please refer to the documentation for your bus coupler to determine the correct supply
voltage for the bus coupler.
The voltages for the logic circuit UL and the supply of the terminals for analog signals UANA
are always internally generated from the bus coupler supply.

IL SYS INST UM E
7.1.2 Logic circuit
The logic circuit with the communications power UL starts at the bus coupler or at a power
terminal (IB IL 24 PWR IN/R-PAC; IB IL 24 PWR IN/PS-PAC) and is led through all the
terminals of an Inline station.
Function The logic circuit (e.g., protocol chip, microcontroller) of the devices in a station is supplied
with voltage from the logic circuit.
Voltage The voltage in this circuit is 7.5 V DC ±5%.
Provision of UL The communications power UL is provided by the bus coupler or a corresponding power
terminal from the connected supply voltage.
Current carrying capacity The maximum current carrying capacity is 2 A. If this value is reached, the voltage must be
boosted via a power terminal or a new station must be created using a bus coupler.
The current consumption from the logic circuit of each device is specified in the
DB GB IB IL DEVICE LIST data sheet and the relevant terminal-specific data sheet.
The communications power is not electrically isolated from the 24 V DC input voltage for the
bus coupler.
This maximum current carrying capacity can be limited by certain bus couplers or
corresponding power terminals. Please refer to the information in the terminal-specific
data sheets.
7.1.3 Analog circuit
The analog circuit with the supply for the analog terminals (also referred to as analog
voltage) UANA starts at the bus coupler or at a power terminal (IB IL 24 PWR IN/R-PAC;
IB IL 24 PWR IN/PS-PAC) and is led through all the terminals of an Inline station.
Function The I/O for analog signal terminals is supplied from the analog circuit.
Voltage The voltage in this circuit is 24 V DC (+20%, -15%).
Provision of UANA The analog voltage UANA is provided by the bus coupler or a corresponding power terminal
from the connected supply voltage.
Current carrying capacity The maximum current carrying capacity is 0.5 A. If this value is reached, the voltage must
be boosted via a power terminal or a new station must be created using a bus coupler.
The current consumption from the analog circuit of each device that is supplied from UANA
is specified in the DB GB IB IL DEVICE LIST data sheet and the relevant terminal-specific
data sheet.

7.1.4 Main circuit
The main circuit with the main voltage UM starts at the bus coupler or a power terminal and
is led through subsequent terminals until it reaches the next power terminal.
Please note the special requirements of Inline terminals with relay outputs. These
terminals interrupt the potential jumpers UM and US.
A new circuit starts at the next power terminal. This circuit is electrically isolated from the
previous one if electrically isolated power supply units are used.
Several power terminals can be used within one station.
Function The segment voltage US can be tapped from the main voltage UM using different segment
terminals. Several independent segments can thus be created within the main circuit. The
main circuit provides the supply voltage for these segments.
Some terminals access the main circuit directly. For example, the encoder supply for
positioning terminals is tapped from the main circuit, while the I/O is supplied from the
segment circuit.
Voltage The voltage in this circuit must not exceed 30 V DC.
Current carrying capacity The maximum current carrying capacity for the main circuit is 8 A (total current with the
segment circuit).
This maximum current carrying capacity can be limited by certain terminals. Please refer
to the information in the terminal-specific data sheets.
If the limit value of the potential jumpers UM and US is reached (total current of US and UM),
a new power terminal must be used.
Provision of UM In the simplest case, the main voltage UM can be supplied at the bus coupler.
The main voltage UM can also be supplied via a power terminal. A power terminal must be
used if:
1 A bus coupler that cannot supply the main voltage is used.
2 Different voltage areas (e.g., 24 V DC and 120 V AC) are to be created.
3 Electrical isolation between different I/O areas is to be created.
4 The maximum current carrying capacity of the potential jumpers UM, US, and GND
(total current of US and UM) is reached.

IL SYS INST UM E
7.1.5 Segment circuit
The segment circuit with segment voltage US starts at the bus coupler or a power or
segment terminal and is led through the subsequent terminals until it reaches the next
power or segment terminal.
Please note the special requirements of Inline terminals with relay output. These terminals
interrupt the potential jumpers UM and US.
You can use several segment terminals within a main circuit and therefore segment the
main circuit.
Function Almost all the terminals in the Inline station except the analog terminals are supplied from
the segment circuit (e.g., digital input terminals, digital output terminals).
The segment circuit also provides the auxiliary voltage for controlling circuit breakers and
contactors.
Some terminals access both the segment circuit and the main circuit. For example, the
encoder supply for positioning terminals is tapped from the main circuit, while the I/O is
supplied from the segment circuit.
The segment circuit can be switched off or fused using the safety or segment terminals. It
has the same reference ground as the main circuit. This means that circuits with different
fuses can be created within the station without external cross-wiring.
Voltage The voltage in this circuit must not exceed 30 V DC.
Current carrying capacity The maximum current carrying capacity for the segment circuit is 8 A (total current with the
main circuit).
This maximum current carrying capacity can be limited by certain terminals. Please refer
to the information in the terminal-specific data sheets.
If the limit value of the potential jumpers UM and US is reached (total current of US and UM),
a new power terminal must be used.
Provision of US There are various ways of providing the segment voltage US:
1 The segment voltage can be supplied at the bus coupler or a power terminal.
2 The segment voltage can be tapped from the main voltage at the bus coupler or a power
terminal using a jumper or a switch.
3 An IB IL 24 PWR IN/2-F...-PAC power terminal with fuse for the main and segment
circuit or a segment terminal with fuse for the segment circuit can be used. In these
terminals the segment voltage is automatically tapped from the main voltage.
4 A segment terminal can be used without a fuse and the segment voltage can be tapped
from the main voltage using a jumper or a switch.
The creation of segments is not possible for the 120 V AC and 230 V AC voltage levels.
Here, only one circuit is used, which corresponds to the main circuit.

7.1.6 Mains voltage for power-level terminals
The mains voltage for power-level terminals is not provided via the potential jumpers. It is
either supplied to the power-level terminal via a power connector or led between directly
adjacent power-level terminals via power bridges.
Voltage The mains voltage must have the following values:
IB IL 400 ELR ... IB IL 400 MLR ...

Nominal voltage during op- 400 V AC 400 V AC
eration (conductor voltage)
Voltage range 187 V AC ... 440 V AC + 0% 187 V AC ... 519 V AC + 0%
with safe isolation between with safe isolation between
mains and SELV mains and SELV;
187 V AC ... 600 V AC + 0%
with basic insulation be-
tween mains and SELV
Frequency The frequency of the mains voltage must be 50 Hz or 60 Hz.
Current carrying capacity The maximum current carrying capacity for the incoming mains must be 20 A. If this value
is reached, it must be reinjected.

Figure 7-1 Potential routing within an Inline station
The illustrated Inline station is a typical example. It shows the supply and provision of
different voltages and their forwarding via potential jumpers. Explanations for this can be
found in the following sections.

Sx,y Segment circuit y in main circuit x (e.g., S2.1, S2.2)

UANA I/O supply for analog terminals
Local bus Data jumper for the local bus
Ground (GND for the supply voltages UM and US)

Noiseless ground (functional earth ground, FE)
Protective earth ground
I Indicates the interruption of a potential jumper
Main circuit M1/ The supply voltage for the bus coupler UBK is supplied at the bus coupler (BK). In addition,
segment S1.1 the main voltage UM1 is supplied at the bus coupler or a subsequent power terminal.
The communications power UL and the supply voltage for the analog terminals UANA are
generated from the bus coupler supply and led through the entire station.
Electrical isolation between logic and I/O is created through the separate supply of the bus
coupler supply UBK and the main voltage UM1.
If these voltages are not supplied separately (e.g., only the voltage UM1, from which UL
and UANA are also generated), there is no electrical isolation between logic and I/O.
No terminals are used in segment S1.1.
Segment S1.2 In a segment terminal with fuse, the segment voltage US for segment S1.2 is automatically
tapped from the main voltage UM1. This segment circuit is protected by the internal fuse.
This segment terminal has been specifically used to create a protected segment circuit
without the need for an additional external fuse. If this is not necessary, the terminal does
not have to be used. In this case, the connection between UM and US on the bus coupler
must be established using a jumper (as shown on the IB IL 24 PWR/IN-PAC terminal) or a
switch (as shown on the IB IL 24 SEG-PAC terminal).
Main circuit M2/ The supply voltage for the power-level terminals and the subsequent terminals should be
segment S2.1 supplied separately. For this, a new power terminal (e.g., IB IL 24 PWR/IN-PAC) is used,
which supplies the supply voltage UM2.
Using a jumper, the segment voltage US for segment S2.1 is tapped from the main voltage
UM2 at this terminal.
Segment S2.2 The segment voltage US is provided at the IB IL 24 SEG-PAC segment terminal via a
switch. Output terminals installed here can therefore be switched externally.
Examples of errors and their effects:

1 In this example structure, a short circuit in segment S1.2 would not affect the terminals
in other segments. The fuse in the IB IL 24 SEG/F-PAC segment terminal means that
only segment S1.2 is switched off.
2 If an error occurred in the system, the terminals in segment S2.2, for example, could be
switched on or off without affecting the terminals in other segments.

IL SYS INST UM E
7.2 Electrical potential and data routing
7.2.1 Arrangement of potential and data jumpers
An important feature of Inline is its internal potential routing system. The electric connection
between the individual station devices is created automatically when the station is installed.
When the individual station devices are connected, a power rail is created for the relevant
circuit. Mechanically, this is created by interlocking knife and featherkey contacts from the
adjacent terminals.
This potential routing eliminates the need for additional external potential routing or cross-
wiring.
The 400 V AC mains voltage for power-level terminals is not led via the internal station
potential routing. It is supplied via a power connector and is led between two power-level
terminals via power bridges.

UL, UANA, UM, and US, please refer to page 73.
Depending on the terminal function, not all of the jumpers listed in Figure 7-2 are present
on a terminal. Please refer to the circuit diagram of the terminal to see which jumpers are
available for a terminal and how they are internally connected. The circuit diagram is
shown in the terminal-specific data sheet.

IL SYS INST UM E
GND This potential jumper is ground for the main and segment circuits.
(24 V DC area)
NOTE: Overload
Please note that the GND potential jumper carries the total current of the main and
segment circuits. The total current of the main and segment circuits must not exceed the
maximum current carrying capacity of the potential jumpers (8 A). The maximum current
carrying capacity is determined not only by the potential jumpers, but also by the
power/segment terminal used.
Calculate the current in the station. Refer to the data provided in the terminal-specific data
sheets for your particular application.
The Project+ software provides support when calculating the currents (see Section
FE The FE potential jumper is connected to the grounded DIN rail via the FE spring at each bus
(24 V DC area) coupler, each 24 V power terminal, and each segment terminal and is led through all
subsequent 24 V terminals.
In addition, connect the FE connection to a grounding terminal at the bus coupler.
If the FE jumper is interrupted by a 120 V AC/230 V AC voltage level, reconnect the FE
connection to a grounding terminal at the subsequent 24 V DC power terminal.
Please also observe the information in Section “Grounding concept” on page 106.
FE spring This spring creates the FE contact between the bus coupler, a 24 V DC power terminal or a
(24 V DC area) segment terminal, and the grounded DIN rail.
Data routing The bus signal is also transmitted within the station using a connection that is created
(all areas) automatically when the station devices are snapped on.
Current carrying capacity The maximum total current flowing through the potential jumpers is limited. The maximum
(all areas) current carrying capacity for each circuit is specified in Section “Circuits and provision of
supply voltages” on page 73.
Please also observe the information about the current carrying capacity of the power and
segment terminals provided in the terminal-specific data sheets.
NOTE: Malfunctions
If the current carrying capacity of the potential jumpers UL or UANA is reached, the voltage
must be boosted via a power terminal, or a new station must be created using a bus
coupler
If the current carrying capacity of the potential jumpers UM, US, and GND is reached (total
current of US and UM), a new power terminal must be used.

Diagnostic and status indicators
8 Diagnostic and status indicators

All Inline Block IO modules and Inline Modular IO terminals (referred to below as the device)
are equipped with diagnostic and status indicators for quick local error diagnostics. They
enable the clear localization of system errors (bus errors) or peripheral faults.
Diagnostics The diagnostic indicators (red, yellow or green) provide information about the state of the
device and, in the event of an error, provide information about the type and location of the
error. The device is operating correctly if all of its green LEDs are on.
Status The status indicators (yellow) indicate the status of the relevant input/output and the
connected I/O device.
Extended diagnostics Some devices have extended diagnostics. A short circuit or overload of the sensor supply
is indicated for each input. If a short circuit occurs at an output, each channel is diagnosed
individually. Information about the supply voltage is also reported. Information about
peripheral faults is sent to the control system with precise details of the error type and is
displayed using status indicators.
For information about the diagnostic and status indicators on a specific device, please
refer to the device-specific data sheet.

9.2 Basic information about mounting
Mounting location Modules and terminals of the Inline product range have IP20 protection and are therefore
designed for use in a closed control cabinet or control box (terminal box) with IP54
protection or higher.
DIN rail All Inline Block IO modules and Inline Modular IO terminals are mounted on 35 mm
standard DIN rails.
The modules are mounted perpendicular to the DIN rail. This ensures that they can be easily
mounted and removed even when space is at a premium.
The distance between DIN rail fasteners must not exceed 200 mm. This distance is
necessary for the stability of the rail when mounting and removing devices.
200
6452A059
Figure 9-1 Fixing the DIN rail (in mm)
Mounting position No specific mounting position is specified for the Inline Block IO modules or
Inline Modular IO terminals. However, please refer to the ambient temperatures and any
other special requirements (such as derating) specified in the data sheets.
Analog terminals are a special case. The accuracy data specified in the data sheets for
these devices refers to the documented mounting position (usually horizontal DIN rail;
Figure 9-2, detail A). The typical tolerance values for the relevant configurations are
determined in this mounting position. Experience from previous testing indicates that the
typical tolerances of analog terminals are slightly affected by the mounting position. This
means that another mounting position is also possible in principle.
To ensure sufficient mechanical fixing for the Inline station or Inline Block IO module when
mounting on a vertical DIN rail (Figure 9-2, detail B), we recommend the E/AL-NS 35 end
clamp. This prevents the station or module from slipping down, particularly in the event of
vibration.

9.3 Mounting distances
The space required for cable routing depends on the number of cables to be installed and
must be left free on the left and/or right-hand side.
In order to minimize the parallel installation of signal and power supply lines, the cable duct
on the left can be used for the signal and bus lines, for example, and the duct on the right for
the power supply lines. This ensures that the parallel installation of these cable types is kept
to a minimum and limits interference on the signal lines.
For the distances of the upper and lower cable ducts or the cable routing to the devices,
please refer to the sections below.

9.3.1.2 Mounting distances for terminals with fiber optic connections

The bending radius and the space required for mounting terminals with fiber optic
connections depends on the fiber optics used. Furthermore, the connector that is used

guidelines when determining the mounting distances.
According to the guidelines valid at the time of publication (Revision 03, 01/2007) the

9.4 Grounding concept
Within an Inline station, a distinction is made between functional earth ground (FE) and
protective earth ground (PE).
For Inline Block IO modules, only functional earth grounding is used.
Protective earth Protective earth grounding protects people and machines against hazardous voltages. To
grounding (PE) avoid these dangers, correct installation, taking the local conditions into account, is vital.
Functional earth Functional earth grounding is used to improve noise immunity. All devices must be
grounding (FE) grounded so that any possible interference from data transmission paths is shielded and
discharged to ground.
A 1.5 mm2 wire must be used for grounding spring-cage terminals.
9.4.1 Functional earth ground (FE)
Functional earth ground is a low-impedance current path between circuits and ground. It is
not designed as a safety measure but rather, for example, for the improvement of noise
immunity.
Functional earth ground (FE) is only used to discharge interference. It does not provide
shock protection for people.
Functional earth ground is used within the 24 V DC area (SELV).

To ensure reliable functional earth grounding of the station, various points must be
observed.
Inline Modular IO For Inline Modular IO terminals, functional earth ground is led from the grounded bus
coupler through the 24 V DC area of the station using the FE potential jumper.
1 The bus coupler, power terminals, and segment terminals have an FE spring (metal
clip) on the bottom of the electronics base. This spring establishes an electrical
connection to the DIN rail. Use grounding terminals to connect the DIN rail to protective
earth ground. The terminals are grounded when they are snapped onto the DIN rail.
2 Phoenix Contact also recommends grounding the Inline Modular IO bus coupler via the
FE terminal point of the corresponding connector to ensure reliable functional earth
grounding even if the DIN rail is dirty or the metal clip is damaged (see terminal-specific
data sheet).
3 A 120 V AC or 230 V AC voltage area interrupts the FE potential jumper. Therefore, a
24 V DC power terminal, which is installed directly after such an area, must also be
grounded via the FE terminal point (see terminal-specific data sheet).
Any additional Inline low-level signal terminals are automatically grounded via the
FE potential jumper when they are properly installed.
The FE potential jumper is looped through the power-level terminals.

spring establishes an electrical connection to the DIN rail. Use grounding terminals to
connect the DIN rail to protective earth ground. The modules are grounded when they
are snapped onto the DIN rail.
2 Phoenix Contact also recommends grounding the Inline Block IO module via the
FE terminal point of the corresponding connector to ensure reliable functional earth
grounding even if the DIN rail is dirty or the metal clip is damaged (see terminal-specific
data sheet).

IL SYS INST UM E
9.4.2 Protective earth ground (PE) (Inline Modular IO)
Protective earth ground is a low-impedance current path that minimizes the risk to the
operator in the event of an error (including a high voltage and/or current error between an
electrical circuit and ground).
In Inline terminals, protective earth ground is used outside the SELV.
WARNING: Disregarding this warning may result in the loss of electrical safety
Every power terminal of the 120 V AC or 230 V AC area must be connected to the DIN rail
with low impedance, otherwise no protection is provided.
The PE (protective earth ground) potential jumper is led from the power terminal of the
120 V AC or 230 V AC area through this entire area to the next power terminal.
Power-level terminals are connected to PE using the power connector and voltage
continuation between power-level terminals is ensured using the power bridge.

9.5 Shielding concept
Shielding is used to reduce the effects of interference on the system.
9.5.1 Inline shielding concept
In the Inline system, shielded cables are used with the following terminals:
– Remote bus cables
– Connecting cables
– At terminals for analog signals (analog input, analog output, temperature
recording)
– At terminals for open and closed-loop control
– At communication terminals
– At detection terminals
– At programmable terminals
Observe the following points when installing shielding:
– Secure the shielding so that as much of the braided shield as possible is held
underneath the clamp of the shield connection.
– Make sure there is good contact between the connector and base.
– Do not damage or squeeze the wires.
– When connecting the shielding, observe the specifications for the connector wiring.
9.5.2 Shielding when connecting analog sensors and actuators
– Always connect analog sensors and actuators with shielded, twisted pair cables.
– Connect the shielding via the Inline connector with shield connection (see Section
“Connecting shielded cables using an Inline shield connector” on page 124).
When connecting the cables, observe the instructions in the terminal-specific data sheets.
– As a rule, shielding must only be connected directly to the PE potential on one side. This
is to prevent any occurrence of voltage equalization currents via the shielding.
– If necessary, integrate the shielding concept for analog I/O cables into the system
concept, for example, it is useful to use a central FE shield connection at the control
cabinet entry.

insulation.
2 Use shielded twisted pair cables.
3 Connect the strain relief directly to PE potential.
Connect the shield for the entire analog transmission path to PE potential at just one
point. In the example above, this point is the jumpering level (C).
4 Lead the sensor cable into the sensor making sure to maintain the cable insulation.
NOTE: Possible malfunctions

When integrating the shielding of analog I/O cables in an equipotential bonding concept,
make sure that direct connection to the PE potential is only made at one point (e.g., at the
central grounding point of the jumpering level).

9.6 Mounting/removal
9.6.1 Inline Modular IO: Mounting/removal
Mounting side by side An Inline station is set up by mounting the individual components side by side. No tools are
(Inline Modular IO) required. Mounting the components side by side automatically establishes the potential and
bus signal connections between the individual station components.
After a station has been set up, individual terminals can be exchanged by pulling them out
or plugging them in. Tools are not required.
End clamps Mount end clamps on both sides of the Inline station. The end clamps ensure that the Inline
(Inline Modular IO) station is correctly mounted. End clamps secure the Inline station on both sides and keep it
from moving from side to side on the DIN rail. For the recommended end clamps, please
refer to Section “Ordering data” on page 153.
When mounting on a horizontal DIN rail, the end clamps can be snapped onto the DIN rail
at any point during station assembly.
When mounting on a vertical DIN rail, secure the end clamp on the left at the start of station
assembly, so as to prevent the station from slipping down.
End plate The end plate terminates an Inline station. It has no electrical function. It protects the station
(Inline Modular IO) against ESD pulses and the user against dangerous contact voltages. The end plate is
supplied with the bus coupler and does not have to be ordered separately.
Order of the Inline When mounting, observe the correct order of the Inline terminals (see Section “Order of the
terminals Inline Modular IO terminals” on page 120).

Mounting When mounting a terminal in these areas, proceed as shown in Figure 9-11 on page 113:
• Disconnect the power to the station.
• First snap on the electronics base, which is required for mounting the station,
perpendicular to the DIN rail (detail A).
When doing this ensure that all featherkeys and keyways on adjacent terminals are
securely interlocked (detail B).
The keyway/featherkey connection links adjacent terminals together and ensures that
data and potential routing is created safely.
• First, insert the data jumper for the bus interface in the guideways by snapping it
onto the previous terminal (detail B1).
NOTE: Malfunction in the event of no contacting

Press gently against the adjacent terminal on the left to make sure that the featherkey has
snapped into its keyway on the bus interface.
• Then insert the other potential jumpers into their guideways and snap the
featherkeys into the corresponding keyways (detail B2).
• Detail C1 shows a common error. Here, the bus interface has not contacted
properly. The featherkey is not in the keyway. The bus is not running or is running
with errors ("loose contact").
• Detail C2 shows secure contacting of the data jumpers and the interlocking
keyway/featherkey connection.
• Once all the bases have been snapped on, plug the connectors into the
appropriate bases.
First, place the front connector shaft latching in the front snap-on mechanism
(detail D1).
Then press the top of the connector towards the base until it snaps into the back snap-
on mechanism (detail D2).
The keyways of an electronics base do not continue on a connector. When snapping on

an electronics base, there must be no connector on the left-hand side of the base. If a
connector is present, it will have to be removed.

Removal When removing a terminal, proceed as shown in Figure 9-15:

• If adjacent terminals belong to the 24 V DC or 120 V AC/230 V AC area:
Remove the adjacent connectors of the neighboring terminals (Figure 9-12 on
page 114). This prevents the potential routing knife contacts and the
keyway/featherkey connection from being damaged.
• Lift the release flaps towards the center of the power-level terminal (Figure 9-15,
detail A).
• Remove the power-level terminal by uniformly pulling the release flaps straight back
from the DIN rail (detail B). If you have not removed the connector of the adjacent
terminal on the left, remove it now in order to protect the potential routing featherkeys
and the keyway/featherkey connection.

9.6.3 Order of the Inline Modular IO terminals
9.6.3.1 General order

The order of the terminals within an Inline station should depend on the current consumption
of the I/O from the potential jumpers UM and US.
As the voltage at every power terminal is reinjected into the potential jumpers UM and US,
the section (main circuit) between a bus coupler and a power terminal or between a power
terminal and another power terminal must always be considered when calculating the
current. If power terminals are not used, the entire station is a main circuit.
Within a main circuit, install the terminals according to their current consumption. Install
the terminals with the highest current consumption first. This has the advantage that the
high supply current does not flow through the entire main circuit and thus does not flow
through all the terminals.
The following order is recommended.
Table 9-1 Order of the Inline terminals within a main circuit

– In the event of any further restrictions regarding the position of a terminal, please refer
to the terminal-specific data sheet.
– For the current consumption of the terminals, please refer to the relevant terminal-

9.6.3.2 Remote bus branch in an Inline station

If you want to integrate a remote bus branch into an Inline station, please note that the
terminal with remote bus branch must be placed directly after a bus terminal, an Inline
Controller or another terminal with remote bus branch.
Please refer to the corresponding data sheets to see if any other special requirements
should be observed.
9.6.3.3 Positioning terminals for analog signals

High current flowing through potential jumpers UM and US leads to a temperature rise in the
potential jumpers and inside the terminal. This reduces the measuring accuracy and
shortens the service life of the terminal.
To keep the current flowing through the potential jumpers of the analog terminals as low as
possible, always place the analog terminals after all the other terminals at the end of the
main circuit.
Within the analog terminals, position the

IB IL TEMP 2/UTH-PAC terminal after all the other terminals to keep the current flowing
through all the potential jumpers for this terminal as low as possible.
9.6.3.4 Positioning power-level terminals

In a 24 V DC area, position the power-level terminals anywhere in the main circuit, but
before the analog terminals.
In a 24 V DC area, power-level terminals can be positioned anywhere in the main circuit
before terminals with a special function and analog terminals. Due to noise emissions,
power-level terminals with mechanical load relay (MLR) should be positioned away from
analog terminals, i.e., they must not be placed adjacent to them.
Please note that only adjacent power-level terminals can be connected for potential
jumpering using power bridges.

10 Connecting cables
10.1 Connecting cables using Inline connectors
Excluding a few exceptions, the cables for the I/O and supply voltages are connected via
Inline connectors using the spring-cage method. This means that signals up to
250 V AC/DC and 8 A can be connected with a conductor cross-section of 0.08 mm2 to
1.5 mm2.
Please observe the permissible lengths for sensor/actuator cables (see Section “Cable
connection method/cross-section” on page 151 or terminal-specific data sheet).
Both shielded and unshielded cables are used with Inline Modular IO terminals or
Inline Block IO modules.
10.1.1 Connecting unshielded cables

Figure 10-1 Connecting unshielded cables
Wire the connectors according to your application.
For the connector pin assignment, please refer to the corresponding terminal-specific data
sheet.
When wiring, proceed as follows:

• Strip 8 mm off the cable.
Inline wiring is normally done without ferrules. However, it is possible to use ferrules. If
using ferrules, make sure they are properly crimped.
• Push a screwdriver into the slot of the appropriate terminal point (Figure 10-1, detail 1),
so that you can insert the wire into the spring opening.
Phoenix Contact recommends using a SZF 1 - 0,6X3,5 screwdriver
(Order No. 1204517).
• Insert the wire (Figure 10-1, detail 2). Remove the screwdriver from the opening. This
clamps the wire.
Following installation, the wires and the terminal points should be labeled (see also Section
“Function identification and labeling” on page 53).

10.1.2 Connecting shielded cables using an Inline shield

connector
Shielded cables can be connected via IB IL SCN-6 SHIELD and

IB IL SCN 6-SHIELD-TWIN shield connectors. The IB IL SCN-6 SHIELD shield connector
is designed to connect one shielded cable. Two shielded cables can be easily connected
via the IB IL SCN 6-SHIELD-TWIN shield connector. In principle, cables are connected via
the shield connector in the same way as shown in Figure 10-2 on page 125 and Figure 10-3
on page 126.
Figure 10-2 shows the connection of a shielded cable using a remote bus cable as an
example. In this example, the cables are twisted pair cables.
Figure 10-3 shows the connection of two shielded cables, using the wiring of the
IB IL AI 2/SF-PAC terminal as an example. As two channels can be used here, the
IB IL SCN 6-SHIELD-TWIN shield connector is used.
When connecting the cables proceed as shown in Figure 10-2 and Figure 10-3:
Stripping cables • Strip the outer cable sheath to the desired length (a) (detail A).
The desired length (a) depends on the connection position of the wires and whether the
wires should have a large or small amount of space between the connection point and
the shield connection.
• Shorten the braided shield to 15 mm (detail A).
• Fold the braided shield back over the outer sheath (detail B).
• Remove the protective foil.
• Strip 8 mm off the wires (detail B).
Inline wiring is normally done without ferrules. However, it is possible to use ferrules. If
using ferrules, make sure they are properly crimped.
When using twisted pair cables, keep the wire twisted until just before the terminal point.
Wiring the connectors • Push a screwdriver into the actuation shaft of the appropriate terminal point
(Figure 10-1 on page 123, detail 1), so that you can insert the wire into the spring
opening.
Phoenix Contact recommends using a SZF 1 - 0,6X3,5 screwdriver
(Order No. 1204517).
• Insert the wire (Figure 10-1 on page 123, detail 2). Remove the screwdriver from the
opening. This clamps the wire.
For the connector pin assignment, please refer to the corresponding terminal-specific data
sheet.

Connecting cables
Connecting the shield Figure 10-2 shows the shield connection for the IB IL SCN 6-SHIELD connector. The
procedure for the IB IL SCN 6-SHIELD-TWIN connector (shown in Figure 10-3) is the same.
• Open the shield connection (detail C).
• Check the position of the shield connection clamp in the shield connection (see also
“Shield connection clamp” on page 127).
• Place the cable with the folded braided shield in the shield connection (detail D).
• Close the shield connection (detail E).
• Tighten the screws on the shield connection with a screwdriver (detail F).
To ensure that the shield connection clamp remains in place when the shield connection
is closed, first secure the shield clamp with screws and then close the shield connection.

Shield connection clamp The shield connection clamp (a in Figure 10-4, detail B) in the shield connection can be
used in various ways depending on the cable cross-section. For thicker cables (e.g., bus
cable), the dip in the clamp must be turned away from the cable (Figure 10-4, detail B). For
thinner cables, the dip in the clamp must be turned towards the cable (Figure 10-4, detail F).
If you need to change the position of the shield connection clamp, proceed as shown in
Figure 10-4:
• Open the shield connection housing (detail A).
• The shield connection is delivered with the clamp positioned for connecting thicker
cables (detail B).
• Remove the clamp (detail C), turn it to suit the cross-section of the cable (detail D), then

With analog, function, or communication terminals without Inline shield plug, shielding can
be connected by separate accessories. Connect the shielding with the shielding accesso-
ries given in the ordering data.

10.2 Connecting the power supplies
Inline Modular IO To operate an Inline station you must provide the supply voltage for the bus coupler, the
logic of the terminals, and the sensors and actuators.
Connect the power supplies using unshielded cables as described in Section “Connecting
unshielded cables” on page 123.
For the connector pin assignment of the supply voltage connections, please refer to the
terminal-specific data sheets for bus couplers, power terminals, and segment terminals.
Inline Block IO When using Inline Block IO modules, the supply voltage for the module and the sensors and
actuators must be provided. Depending on the module, connection can be via Inline
connector or COMBICON connector.
The power supplies are connected using unshielded cables. For connection via Inline
connector, see Section “Connecting unshielded cables” on page 123.
For the connector pin assignments for connecting supply voltages, please refer to the
relevant module-specific data sheet.
10.2.1 Inline Modular IO: Supply options
Bus coupler supply
For detailed information, please refer to the documentation for your bus coupler.
Power terminal supply

Depending on the type of power terminal, the following supply voltages can be supplied or
provided:
– UM and US (I/O supply voltage)
– U24V (generation of UL and UANA), UM, and US (communications power and I/O supply
voltage)
Please also refer to the information provided in Section “Power, segment, and accessory
terminals” on page 29.
Providing the segment voltage at segment terminals

At segment terminals, the segment voltage US is provided from the main circuit UM.
Please also refer to the information provided in Section “Power, segment, and accessory
terminals” on page 29.
Notes on supply voltages

The bus coupler supplies the module electronics of the connected terminals with
communications power (UL), which is generated, for example, from the bus coupler supply
voltage (UBK). If the supply voltage UBK is disconnected, the bus stops.

Connecting cables
The supply voltage to the sensors and actuators (UM/US) should be installed and protected
independently of the bus coupler supply (UBK). In this way the bus continues to run even if
some I/O devices are switched off.
10.2.2 Power supply requirements

Only use power supply units that ensure safe isolation between the primary and secondary
circuits according to EN 50178.
For additional power supply requirements, please refer to the documentation for your bus
coupler and the power terminals.
Inline Modular IO: Supply voltage requirements that differ from the system
specifications
The specifications for Inline system supply voltages are described in “Technical data for
Inline Modular IO” on page 147. However, some terminals have specific requirements.
Therefore, always refer to the corresponding data sheet.
This section provides information about the various possible requirements within an Inline
system.

During startup, make sure that all GND connections of the supply connectors of an Inline
station are connected to GND (0 V) of the relevant power supply unit by means of measure-
ment. For this purpose, remove all power connectors from the relevant terminals and mea-
sure the connection.
When using power terminals, make sure that they are assigned to the correct power supply
unit in order not to decrease electrical isolation within the station.

2 2 (enable power level)
The control voltage for the power level and the brake is supplied via pin 2 of the
MINICOMBICON connector. The power level cannot be controlled without the 24 V control
voltage.
The segment voltage US is used to enable the power level and can be made available using
a jumper or a switch:
1 By default upon delivery, terminal strip X18 is supplied with a jumper inserted between
pins 1 and 2.
If no switch is connected to X18, the jumper can remain inserted. The power level of the
power-level terminal is enabled because the 24 V segment voltage is directly available.
2 If an external switch is connected between pins 1 and 2 on terminal strip X18, the power
level of the power-level terminal is enabled when the switch is closed.
For additional information and safety notes, please refer to the data sheets for the power-
level terminals.

A4 Temperature response of the terminals
Please note that derating or simultaneity limitations must be taken into consideration
depending on the ambient temperature. Notes on this are provided in the terminal-specific
data sheets. The terms used in the data sheets are explained below:
Power dissipation of the The power dissipation of the electronics of a terminal is calculated according to the formula
electronics (PTOT) provided in the terminal-specific data sheet. The calculated value must not exceed the
power dissipation of the housing.
Power dissipation of the The power dissipation of the housing indicates the maximum power dissipation. The
housing (PHOU) maximum power dissipation is specified in the terminal-specific data sheet.
In the permissible operating temperature range, the power dissipation of the housing can be
dependent on or independent of the ambient temperature.
If the power dissipation of the housing depends on the ambient temperature, a permissible
working point must be defined.
Permissible working point Depending on the power dissipation of the housing and the power dissipation of the
electronics at a certain current, the maximum temperature at which the terminal can be
operated with this current can be calculated.
Examples Examples for calculating these values can be found in the section below.

Calculation examples for power dissipation and working points
A5 Calculation examples for power dissipation and

working points
A 5.1 Constant power dissipation of the housing over the

operating temperature range
This calculation is illustrated using the IB IL 24 DO 8-PAC terminal as an example.
Formula to calculate the power dissipation of the electronics

This formula is terminal-specific and is provided in every data sheet.
n
PTOT = 0.19 W + ∑ (0.10 W + ILi2 x 0.40 Ω)
i=1
Where
PTOT Total power dissipation in the module

i Index
n Number of set outputs (n = 1 to 8)
ILi Load current of output i
If no output is set, the component with the sigma sign is omitted.
Example: Load currents of the outputs:

IL1 = 0.5 A, IL2 = 0.4 A, IL3= 0.2 A, IL4 = 0.5 A, IL5 = 0.3 A, IL6 = 0.4 A
Outputs 7 and 8 are not used.
Power dissipation of the According to the formula, the electronics of this specific configuration has the following
electronics power dissipation:
PTOT = 0.19 W + [0.1 W + (0.5 A)2 x 0.4 ]
+ [0.1 W + (0.4 A)2 x 0.4 ]
+ [0.1 W + (0.2 A)2 x 0.4 ]
+ [0.1 W + (0.5 A)2 x 0.4 ]
+ [0.1 W + (0.3 A)2 x 0.4 ]
+ [0.1 W + (0.4 A)2 x 0.4 ]
PTOT = 0.19 W + 0.200 W + 0.164 W + 0.116 W

+ 0.200 W + 0.136 W + 0.164 W
PTOT = 1.37 W

IL SYS INST UM E
Power dissipation of the The value for the power dissipation of the housing is specified in every terminal-specific data
housing sheet.
The power dissipation of the housing for the specified terminal is 2.7 W within the operating
temperature range of -25°C to +55°C. The calculated power dissipation for the electronics
therefore does not exceed the permissible upper limit.
Maximum load Even with the maximum permissible load current (0.5 A per channel), the upper limit of
2.7 W is not exceeded within the permissible temperature range of
-25 °C to +55 °C.
PTOT = 0.19 W + 8 x [0.1 W + (0.5 A)2 x 0.4 ]
PTOT = 1.79 W

Calculation examples for power dissipation and working points
A 5.2 Power dissipation of the housing within the operating

temperature range depending on the ambient temperature
This calculation is illustrated using the IB IL 24 DO 2-2A-PAC terminal as an example.
Formula to calculate the power dissipation of the electronics

This formula is terminal-specific and is provided in every data sheet.
n
PTOT = 0.18 W + ∑ (0.20 W + ILi2 x 0.10 Ω)
i=1
Where
PTOT Total power dissipation in the module

i Index
n Number of set outputs (n = 1 to 2)
ILi Load current of output i
If no output is set, the component with the sigma sign is omitted.
Example: Both outputs are enabled and operating at full load. The load currents of the outputs are
IL1 = IL2 = 2 A.
Power dissipation of the According to the formula, the electronics of this specific configuration has the following
electronics power dissipation:
PTOT = 0.18 W + 2 x [0.20 W + (2 A)2 x 0.10 ]
PTOT = 0.18 W + 2 x 0.6 W
PTOT = 0.18 W + 1.20 W
PTOT = 1.38 W
Power dissipation of the The value for the power dissipation of the housing is specified in every terminal-specific data
housing sheet.
The permissible power dissipation of the housing for the IB IL 24 DO 2-2A-PAC terminal
depends on the temperature.
PHOU = 2.4 W -25°C < TA  -5°C
PHOU = 2.4 W - [(TA - (-5°C))/37.5°C/W] -5°C < TA  +55°C
Where
PHOU Power dissipation of the housing
TA Ambient temperature
At an ambient temperature of up to -5°C, you can load the housing with the maximum power
dissipation.

IL SYS INST UM E
Permissible working point At an increased ambient temperature, you must calculate the permissible working point for
the calculated power dissipation.
To do this set PTOT = PHOU.
PTOT = 2.4 W - [(TA + 5°C)/37.5°C/W]
After changing the formula, the maximum permissible ambient temperature, with this load,
is calculated as:
TA = (2.4 W - PTOT) x 37.5°C/W - 5°C
PTOT = 1.38 W (from the calculation for the power dissipation of the electronics)
TA = (2.4 W - 1.38 W) x 37.5°C/W - 5°C
TA = 1.02 W x 37.5°C/W - 5°C
TA = 33.25°C
With both outputs at full load, this terminal can be operated up to an ambient temperature
of 33°C.
If you never operate the outputs simultaneously and if a set output consumes a current of
2 A, you can operate up to an ambient temperature of:
PTOT = 0.18 W + [0.20 W + (2 A)2 x 0.10 ]
PTOT = 0.18 W + 0.60 W
PTOT = 0.78 W
TA = (2.4 W - PTOT) x 37.5°C/W - 5°C
PTOT = 0.78 W (from the calculation for the power dissipation of the electronics)
TA = (2.4 W - 0.78 W) x 37.5°C/W - 5°C
TA = 1.62 W x 37.5°C/W - 5°C
TA = 55.75°C
TA = 55°C (maximum permissible ambient temperature)
As the maximum permissible ambient temperature is 55°C, you can operate under the
conditions specified above in the entire permissible temperature range. This results
in a simultaneity of 50% at 55°C as specified in the data sheet.

C Appendix: Explanation of abbreviations and symbols
C1 Explanation of abbreviations
Ground Ground, general symbol
FE Functional earth ground

Noiseless ground
This ground is free from external noise voltage, and is used to ground cable shields and to
suppress noise and interference voltages.
Functional earth ground is a low-impedance current path between circuits and ground. It is
not designed as a safety measure but rather, for example, for the improvement of noise
immunity (EN 61131).
This ground connection must be separated from parts with hazardous voltage by means of
double or reinforced insulation (EN 60950).
PE Protective earth ground

This ground is used to ground devices. It also provides shock protection for people.
Protective earth ground is a low-impedance current path that minimizes the risk to the user
in the event of an error (EN 61131).
GND 0 V ground; housing or chassis

In this user manual the term ground refers to common voltage return lines. Ground is
electrically isolated from FE and PE. If a jumper is placed between ground and FE or PE,
this isolation is removed.
Various additions to GND (such as F-GND, BC-GND, etc.) indicate separate potentials.
UBK Bus coupler supply

The voltage UBK is used to supply the bus coupler power supply unit. In the power supply
unit, the communications power UL and the analog voltage UANA are generated from the
voltage UBK.
UM Main supply (I/O supply in the main circuit)

The voltage UM supplies all of the devices connected to the main circuit.
The voltage UM is supplied using a bus coupler or a power terminal and is led through the
potential jumper to the next power terminal. (Exception: terminal with a relay output
interrupts the potential jumper)

IL SYS INST UM E
US Segment supply (I/O supply in the segment circuit)

The voltage US supplies all of the devices connected to the segment circuit.
The voltage US is supplied using a bus coupler or a power terminal or is tapped from the
main voltage UM at the bus coupler, a power terminal or a segment terminal and is led
through the potential jumper to the next power or segment terminal. (Exception: terminal
with a relay output interrupts the potential jumper)
UANA I/O supply for analog terminals

The voltage UANA is used to supply all the terminals for analog signals.
It is generated in the bus coupler or in a special power terminal and is led through the Inline
station by means of potential routing.
The voltage UL is used to supply all the devices with communications power (supply of the
module electronics).
It is generated in the bus coupler or in a special power terminal and is led through the Inline
station by means of potential routing.
PTOT Power dissipation of the electronics
PHOU Power dissipation of the housing
