2. Mounting
2.1 Mounting the IPC FEC-Standard
The IPC FEC-Standard can be mounted on the top-hat rail as

well as directly to the wall by means of two fixing screws.
Combined mounting using both mounting types is also poss-

ible.

2. Mounting
2.2 Top-hat rail mounting
The IPC FEC-Standard is suitable for mounting on a top-hat

rail (support rail conforming to EN 50022). To this purpose
the rear of the IPC FEC-Standard has two fixed anchored
top-hat rail clamps with which the IPC FEC-Standard can be
snapped in onto the top-hat rail.
2.2.1 Procedure for top-hat rail mounting
Caution
Do not use additional aids to fasten the IPC FEC-Standard
on the top-hat rail.
1. Incline the IPC FEC-Standard by approx. 85 (see Fig. 2/1)

and lean the IPC FEC-Standard against the rear wall
above the top-hat rail.
2. Now slide the IPC FEC-Standard downwards until the

top-hat rail clamps of the IPC FEC-Standard contacts the
top-hat rail.
3. Then press the lower half of the IPC FEC-Standard

against the top-hat rail. The ball of the thumb is suitable
for latching the IPC FEC-Standard on to the top-hat rail
gently. (see Fig. 2/2).

2.2.2 Procedure for top-hat rail dismantling
Caution
Never remove an IPC FEC-Standard from the top-hat rail
while it is wired. All cable connections must have been
removed before the IPC FEC-Standard is removed.
Caution
Avoid using screwdrivers or other levering tools to
separate the IPC FEC-Standard from the top-hat rail. If you
avoid using auxiliary tools, unwanted vibrations or even
damage to the wall and the IPC FEC-Standard is avoided.
1. Clasp around the enclosure of the IPC FEC-Standard by

placing the thumbs of your hand on the lower end and
the other fingers of the same hand on the upper end of
the IPC FEC-Standard.
2. Lever the IPC FEC-Standard from the top-hat rail by

pulling the lower end of the IPC FEC-Standard towards
yourself while exercising moderate pressure with your
thumbs. A clear latching sound then indicates that the
device has been unlatched and can thus be removed
from the top-hat rail.

2. Mounting
2.3 Wall mounting
The IPC FEC-Standard is suitable for mounting to a wall. To

this purpose there are fixed integrated fixing brackets on
both ends of the IPC FEC-Standard.
Observe the distances of the holes which have to be set at the

respective IPC FEC types. The required screw diameter
amounts to 4.0 mm. The screw head diameter should not
amount to more than 8.5 mm.
IPC FEC-type hole distance
IPC FEC FC400 114,2 mm
2.3.1 Procedure for wall mounting
1. Set the holes to conform to the existing underground

under consideration of the hole distance of your IPC
FEC type.
2. Fix the IPC FEC-Standard by means of two screws of

the type described at the desired position

2. Mounting
2.3.2 Procedure for wall dismantling
Warning
Never dismantle an IPC FEC-Standard from the wall while it
is wired. All cable connections must have been removed
before the IPC FEC-Standard is dismantled.
1. Use a suitable screwdriver to remove the two fixing

screws which hold the IPC FEC-Standard to the wall by
means of the fixing brackets.
2. When removing the screws hold the IPC FEC-Standard

with one hand in order to prevent it from falling .

2. Mounting
2.4 Combined mounting
The IPC FEC-Standard is suitable for combined mounting

(wall/top-hat rail).
2.4.1 Procedure for combined mounting
1. Observe the points described under Section 2.3 with

regard to the hole distance and the screw type.
Ensure additionally that the two holes are set so that
they can be accessed for mounting through the
oblong holes positioned in the top-hat rail.
2. When you have prepared fixing by wall mounting, the

module can be set on the top-hat rail as described
under Section 2.2.
3. Align the IPC FEC-Standard on the top-hat rail so that

the wall holes correspond with the side fixing brackets
of the IPC FEC-Standard.
4. Fix the IPC FEC-Standard by means of the two screws

of the screw type described under Section 2.3 through
the top-hat rail oblong holes and through the side
fixing brackets of the IPC FEC-Standard to the wall.

2. Mounting
2.4.2 Procedure for combined dismantling
Warning
Never dismantle an IPC FEC-Standard from the wall or from
the top-hat rail while it is wired. All cable connections must
have been removed before the IPC FEC-Standard is
dismantled.
Caution
Never try to remove the IPC FEC-Standard from the top-hat
rail before the wall mounting screws have been removed .
1. Use a suitable screwdriver to remove the two fixing

screws which hold the IPC FEC-Standard through the
top-hat rail to the wall by means of the fixing brackets.
2. Clasp around the enclosure of the IPC FEC-Standard by

placing the thumbs of your hand on the lower end and the
other fingers of the same hand on the upper end of the
IPC FEC-Standard.
3. Lever the IPC FEC-Standard from the top-hat rail by

pulling the lower end of the IPC FEC-Standard towards
yourself while exercising moderate pressure with your
thumbs. A clear latching sound then indicates that the
device has been unlatched and can thus be removed from
the top-hat rail.

2. Mounting
2.5 Further information on top-hat rail mounting
The IPC FEC-Standard should not be slid on the top-hat rail.

The top-hat rail clamp presses the IPC FEC-Standard so firmly
against the top-hat rail that unintentional moving of the IPC
FEC-Standard is not possible.
If the IPC FEC-Standard has to be placed at a different posi-

tion on the top-hat rail, remove the device from the top-hat
rail and place it back onto the rail at the desired position.
Moving the IPC FEC-Standard on the top-hat rail causes high

mechanical wear at the top-hat rail itself.
The correct latching-in method (as described in Section 2.2) is

only subject to a very low degree of wear and can thus be
repeated as often as required.

2. Mounting
2.6 Earthing the IPC FEC-Standard
Before the IPC FEC-Standard is commissioned it has to be

earthed. The stranded cable required to this purpose has to
have a cross-section of at least 2.5 mm2.
2.6.1 Earthing without a top-hat rail
Slide the clamp-type cable lug of the earthing cable onto one
of the two lug holders positioned on the two sides of the IPC
FEC-Standard. The other end of the earthing cable is
connected to the central star-head earthing point.This
earthing applies for an example without top-hat rail (see Fig.
2/3).

2. Mounting
Caution
It is prohibited to connect several devices via the same
earthing cable (see Fig. 2/4).
2.6.2 Prohibited earthing
The earthing shown in Fig. 2/4 is prohibited. When installing

the IPC FEC-Standard always ensure that earthing is
implemented as shown in Fig. 2/3, if the IPC FEC-Standard is
not mounted on the top-hat rail.

2. Mounting
2.6.3 Top-hat rail earthing
A further earthing alternative is to earth the top-hat rail itself.

In this case no additional connection is required between the
top-hat rail and the IPC FEC-Standard since the top-hat rail
clamp of the IPC FEC-Standard establishes a conductive
connection.

If a top-hat rail/suppor t rail is selected as the fixing alterna-

tive, it has to have an equipotential bonding to the star-head
earthing point of the control cabinet or of the feeder conduc-
tor. If the top-hat rail then becomes an equipotential bonding
strip, several IPC FEC-Standard devices may be fastened to it.
The earthing terminals in the form of lug holders (6.3 mm) are
then defined as a functional earthing and can be used to con-
tact shieldings.

2. Mounting
2.7 Important installation regulations
Only use power supply units which ensure safe separation of

the operating voltage conforming to IEC 742 / EN60742 / VDE
0551, PELV with at least 4 kV insulation resistance for the 24
V DC power supply (power connections) and for the power
supply of the digital inputs (nominal 24 V DC).
Switched-mode power supply units with safe separation con-

forming to EN 60950 / VDE 0805 are also permitted.
The power supply unit PS1 PSE3 fulfills the specified require-
ments.
The maximum length of the power supply cable amounts to

10 m.
Use exclusively shielded cables for TP and cross-over cables.

TP cables of the type S/STP (min. CAT5) are to be used. The
shieldings are to be applied to an interference-free earth at
both ends, as a large area and as low-resistance. This can be
implemented with the top-hat rail clamp which is part of the
earthing set (Part No.: 526683). The enclosure of the hubs
used also have to be earthed as low-resistance.
The maximum length of the connected cable for signal con-

nections of the digital and analog I/Os amounts to 30 m

3. Installation
3.4.1 Proper use of the SM14/SM15
The interface converter TTL-RS232 PS1 SM15 was conceived

for the industrial installation of serial communication. The
scope of delivery of the PS1 SM15 does not include a zero
modem cable. A corresponding cable is to be created as
shown in the figure below. The connector pin assignment of
the SM15 corresponds to that of the SM14. The specifications
of the EIA (Electronic Industrial Association) RS232-C are to
be observed when implementing a serial communication con-
nection.
A shielded cable (braided shield, 80% coverage) is required

in order to achieve a sufficient level of immunity to interfer-
ence. The shielding is to be created as a large area and as
low-resistance.
The SM14 programming cable is not to be used in the sense

of an industrial installation. The scope of delivery of the SM14
includes a zero modem cable.

3. Installation
3.5.3 Connection assignment of the analog inputs
The analog inputs of the IPC FEC-Standard are used to detect

analog states for example of temperature, rotational speed,
speed, pressure or other sensors.
The IPC FEC-Standard types 620 and 660 have 3 analog in-
puts (0-20 mA) available. The resolution of the inputs amount
to 12 bits. Connection to a connector PS1 SAC30 is implem-
ented as shown below.
The two connectors PS1 SAC11 and PS1 SAC31 are not suit-
able for use in this case since the integrated LEDs can cause a
measuring error in the analog value.
Please note
The analog input signal lines are to be implemented with
shielded cables. Cables with braided shielding (80% cover-
age) are suitable. The shielding is to be connected at the
module end, as a large area and as low-resistance.
Please note
The input impedance of the analog input is not linear and
greater than 300 R.
If an additional current input is added in the current path
(0-20 mA) of the analog input, the total impedance is over
300 R.
A voltage measurement parallel to the input resistance
produces non-linear measured values.
Please refer to the technical data for more detailed in-
formation on he input impedance.

3.5.4 Connection assignment of the analog outputs
The analog output of an IPC FEC-Standard is used to control

analog actuators, for example, pressure regulator, tempera-
ture controller, level controller, etc.
The FEC Standard types 620 and 660 have 1 analog output.
The internal resolution of the output amounts to 12 bits. The
signal is a current signal (0-20 mA). The connection to a con-
nector PS1 SAC10 is shown below using a propor tional valve
as an example.
Caution
Reversing of the polarity at the supply of the analog output
module has to be avoided under all circumstances. The
use of an external protection (125 mAF) of the output
module is recommended.
Please note
The analog output signal lines are to be implemented with

whole installation has been completed.
Depending on the design of the power supply and the con-
nector used a contact overload may occur.
A protection of the feeder cable is to be implemented.
Note
The connections between the Connectors 1 to 5 and 6 to
10 are suitable for the power supply of the outputs or in-
puts. The maximum power supply for single contacts of the
connector, is to be taken from the corresponding da-
tasheet in every case of use.
3.5.9 Options of the function selector switch
The function selector switch of the IPC FEC-Standard has 2

different functionalities.
– It can be sampled as a Run/Stop switch per software,

whereby the position 0 corresponds to the function
Stop and every other position to the function Run.
– It can be used as a trimmer. Positions 0-15 can be

sampled by an application program. Position 0 of the
function selector switch always means: The program
has been stopped. Before commissioning the switch is
to be set to Position 0 (state of delivery).

3. Installation
Fig. 3/15: Function selector switch in the initial position
Note
In order not to evaluate every intermediate position when
switching from one position to another one across several
intermediate positions, reading out of the switch is
delayed.
The value is not read out until the switch rests for approx.
2 seconds in the same position
The function selector switch as a Run/Stop switch:

In this mode a program can be assigned to each of the switch
positions 1 to 15 of the function selector switch. By default
the switch positions 1 - 15 has the meaning that the FEC or
the program of the FEC is in the state RUN (loaded program).
The switch positions can be read out by the program.
The function selector switch as a trimmer:

The function selector switch of the IPC FEC-Standard can be
used as a trimmer. In this mode a step-by-step control can be
implemented (for example in order to control the speed of a
motor).

3. Installation
The type of use of the function selector switch is determined

by the software. Both functionalities of the function selector
switch cannot be used simultaneously.
In the state of delivery the switch positions 1 to 15 of the

function selector switch are without action.
Warning
A change in the switch position of the function selector
switch during running operation can have serious conse-
quences depending on the programs which are assigned
to the switch positions.
Corresponding precautionary measures therefore already

have to be taken when programming the switches in order to
prevent accidents.
For further information on the function selector switch please

refer to the respective description on the FST or Multiprog
CD.
Before commissioning the switch is to be set to Position 0

(state of delivery).
As a Run/STOP switch the function selector switch is used to

set the plant to STOP.
By default the position 0 = STOP, the position 1 to F = RUN.
For your information:
A change in the function selector switch while a digital output

is overloaded leads to delayed recognition of the changed
position

3.6 Information on wiring the IPC FEC-Standard
Note
Separate the signal input and signal output wires in
separate cable ducts and avoid bundling the signals. Do
not use the same multiple-conductor cable to wire the
signal inputs and outputs.
Caution
Check the supply voltage and earthing connections as well
as the input/output connections before switching on the
current.
Ensure that the mounting screws or screw terminals for the

external connection are fixed. External connections may not
have any visible signs of damage.
Warning
Ensure that the supply voltage is separated from the IPC
FEC-Standard before replacing the cable or taking similar
steps.
In case of loads, such as forwards/backwards motor contac-

tors, which can be dangerous when activated simultaneously,
both interlocks outside the IPC FEC-Standard as well as pro-
grammed interlocks should exist. This prevents such loads
from being activated simultaneously.
– Do no connect any of the unused terminals.

3. Installation
Note
For EMERGENCY-OFF functions the output loads should be
switched off by a switch outside the IPC FEC-Standard
which separates the load voltage from the output ter-
minals.
If you connect an EMERGENCY OFF circuit, please ensure
that national wiring or safety regulations are observed.
The connection of a surge voltage suppresser parallel to an

inductive load reduces the generation of electrical emitted
interference.
Caution
The operating voltage of the IPC FEC-Standard is protected
against reversing of the polarity. Nevertheless, check the
polarity before commissioning.
The output power supply (supply of the outputs) may not
have the polarity reversed. External protection is recom-
mended.

4.1 First steps IPC FEC-Standard
The following sections contain a brief introduction into the use of the IPC FEC-Standard
You require:
– An IPC FEC-Standard (any type)
– At least 3 connectors PS1 SAC10, PS1 SAC11, PS1 SAC30

or PS1 SAC31
– A power supply 24 V DC at least 1 A
– The programming cable PS1 SM14
– A programming PC with a free serial interface COM1 or

COM2 or COM3 or COM4 (9-pin SUB-D connector) and
Windows 9X, NT, ME or 2000 operating system
– The programming software “FST4.02” or “MULTIPROG

2.01 (04/2001) for FEC” or higher.
4.1.1 Connecting the IPC FEC-Standard to the power
Please use the connector PS1 SAC10 in order to connect the

power supply to the IPC FEC-Standard. Plug the connector
into the connector strip labeled with ”Power 24 V DC”. Con-
nect the 24 V DC of the power supply to one of the upper 5
connections of the connector and the 0 V of the power supply
to one of the lower 5 connections of the connector. Also refer
to the figure below.
Check and ensure that the cable is wired with the correct po-
larity. Also check whether the function selector switch is set to
Position 0 and correct it if necessary.
Now switch on the power supply for test purposes. The Power
LED has to light up.

Caution
Before carrying out the further wiring separate the power
supply again from the IPC FEC-Standard.

4.1.2 Using the sensor actuator connector SAC
The sensor actuator connector PS1 SAC is equipped with ten-

sion spring technique. There are single-row versions with and
without LEDs and three-row versions with and without LEDs.
The three-row versions of the connectors have two distribu-
tion strips, for + and - each, which are contacted through sep-
arately from each other in the connector.

Fig. 4/2: Sensor actuator connector SAC
The wiring of solid wires is carried out in the same way as the
mounting of wires with wire end ferrules. These can be
introduced into the corresponding tension spring terminals of
the PS1 SAC connector.
If you use flexible wires without wire end ferrules, the button
which is assigned clearly by color to the tension spring ter-
minal has to be pressed down by means of a suitable tool
(screwdriver). The cable can be introduced while it is pressed
down.

4.1.3 Connecting a sensor
Sensors are connected to the connector strips which are

identified by the designation ”Digital Input”.
It is advisable to use a PS1 SAC11 or a PS1 SAC31 since these

connectors are equipped with LEDs for displaying the signal.
These connectors must be supplied expressly with power!

Fig. 4/3: PS1 SAC11 and PS1 SAC31 with connected power supply
The power supply connector which was connected under

Section 4.1.1 (Fig. 4/1) can be used as a distribution strip for
the 24 V DC power supply. The upper 5 connections are
connected to each other on the printed circuit board, the
lower 5 as well. The maximum power of the respective con-
nector is to be taken from the corresponding datasheet.
In order to use the 24 V/0 V distributor strips of the PS1

SAC30/31 these have to be supplied additionally with power.
This allows different power supply units to be used or differ-

ent protection circuits for the sensor/actuator equipment and
the control system to be used.

Caution
If the power supply connector is used as a distribution
strip, the maximum current carrying capacity of the various
connectors available is to be observed.
A digital output group may be subjected to a maximum
total current of 3.2 A (8 x 0.4 A).

Since the LEDs of the connectors PS1 SAC11 and PS1 SAC31
are connected in the connector with the signal and 0 V, the
wiring of the sensor equipment can also be tested
irrespective of the control system.

4.1.4 Connecting an actuator
Actuators are connected to the connector strips which are

identified by the designation ”Digital Output”.
It is advisable to use a PS1 SAC11 or a PS1 SAC31 since these

connectors are equipped with LEDs for displaying the signal.
The outputs of the IPC FEC-Standard supply a +24 V DC signal

(PNP) with a maximum rated current of 0.4 A. Ensure that the
24 V DC supply voltage supplies sufficient current for all the
connected loads.

rectory Tasks.

4.2 Display elements
The FEC has a Run LED which can light in the colors green, red
and orange. Each color indicates an operating state of the
FEC.
During starting (Power ON) the LED switches to orange.
In the following sections the states depend on the setting of

the Run/Stop switch.
If the Run/Stop switch is set to Stop (0), the LED light orange.
If the Run/Stop switch is switched to RUN (1-15) and there is
a project on the system, the project is started and the LED
lights up green. If the Run/Stop switch is set to RUN (1-15)
and there is no project on the system, there is a fault and the
LED lights up red. In the Run state the LED indicates an error
with red.
A detailed fault description is contained on the respective

programming system (FST or Multiprog) or in the documenta-
tion on the corresponding product CD.

4.3 Rapid counters
The two inputs (see table below) can be configured indepen-

dently of each other as rapid counter inputs with which the
counting pulses can be used to count up to a frequency of 2
kHz. The counters have a depth of 16 bits (0 to 65535). Inputs
which are configured as counters can still be read simulta-
neously as normal digital inputs.

A.2 Output behavior at overload/shor t-circuit
The output ports (A0, A1, etc.) are short-circuit- and overload-
proof independently of each other.
If a short-circuit or overload current is applied, a temperature

rise occurs at the switching transistor. The overtemperature
fuse switches the respective output off so that the switching
transistor can cool down again. The respective output is acti-
vated afterwards again. If an overload current continuous to
exist after the activation, the process begins again.
The cycle length of the process depends on the extent of the

overload. In case of a low overload the cycle length can last
up to several minutes - at a high overload less than 1 second.
This behavior can be influenced, if necessary, by the operat-

ing system (FST, Multiprog).
