5.3 Connection of Analog Inputs
The analog inputs 1…4 are permanently assigned to module AI1, analog inputs 5…8 are
permanently assigned to module AI2.
The analog inputs are used exclusively for the power and frequency inputs of pumps 1…4.
Other functions are not available.
The assignment of the analog inputs to the terminal clamps on the modules is fixed and can-
not be changed.
The following assignments apply:
•Module AI1
AI1 (1) Input Power Pump 1
AI2 (2) Input Frequency Pump 1
AI3 (3) Input Power Pump 2
AI4 (4) Input Frequency Pump 2
•Module AI2
AI1 (5) Input Power Pump 3
AI2 (6) Input Frequency Pump 3
AI3 (7) Input Power Pump 4
AI4 (8) Input Frequency Pump 4
5.4 Parameter setting / Operation
Once cables and power supply are connected correctly the parameters of the Extension
Module are set via the NivuFlow Energy Saver. Therefore, the Extension Module does not
require any operation elements of its own.
6 Electric Installation
6.1 General
The Modbus Extension Module is shipped in completed and configuredcondition.
Do not change default settings of switches on the Modbus Extension Module
Changing the settings of the RS485 switches (Fig. 5-1 no8) or the rotary encoding switches
(Fig. 5-1 no6) may lead to communication failure between the module and the transmitter.
Connect the Modbus Extension Module to the transmitter only by using the accompany-
ing/shipped Modbus-RTU connection cable (length approx. 1.3 m). One side of the Mod-
bus Extension Module is equipped with a RS485 plug, the other side is open for connection
to the transmitter.
Connect only 1 conductor on each cage clamp terminal of the Modbus Extension Module.
The module´s metal carrier rail (DIN rail, 35 mm) must be earthed prior to initial opera-
tion.
