1SAFETY ALERTS
The symbols below are used in the device and throughout this manual to draw the user’s attention to important information related to device safety
and use.
CAUTION
Read the manual fully before installing, and
operating the device.
CAUTION OR HAZARD
Risk of electric shock.
ATTENTION
Material sensitive to static charge. Check
precautions before handling.
All safety recommendations appearing in this manual must be followed to ensure personal safety and prevent damage to the instrument or system.
If the instrument is used in a manner other than that specified in this manual, the device’s safety protections may not be effective.

2PRESENTATION
The DigiRail OEE is the ideal tool to read the sensors that monitor the operation of machines, devices or processes. Among its many applications, this
multi input module allows you to count operation time and downtime and the amount of approved and rejected parts, signal the need for preventive or
corrective maintenance or monitor operating conditions in general.
The device has 6 digital inputs, 2 analog inputs and 2 digital outputs, RS485 interface, USB interface, Wi-Fi or Ethernet communication interface and is
compatible with the main clouds on the market. In addition, it can be integrated with MES, SCADA and ERP systems.
The figure below shows an example of topology for DigiRail OEE:

4INSTALLATION
4.1 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
As shown in the figure below, the DigiRail OEE can be installed on DIN 35 mm rail. You must fix it with its back clips:
DIN rail installation
In addition, the device also has two holes to fix it with screws, as shown in the figure below:
Installation with screws
The DigiRail OEE has a removable protection cover to protect its connection terminals. The protection cover has three detachable areas, one at
the bottom and one at each side, so you can easily handle the sensors:
Detachable areas of the protection cover
The protection cover has two pins, located on the sides of the housing, which help you fit it into the device. Once the cover has been installed, you
will need a screwdriver to remove it.

4.2 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
The DigiRail OEE has three detachable connection terminals for the connection of the external power supply, RS485, digital inputs and outputs
and analog inputs, as shown in the figure below:
Electrical connections
To connect the sensors, you must previously remove the connection terminals from the device and observe the enumeration recorded in the
housing, as shown in the figure of electrical connections above.
The inputs, outputs and communication interfaces of this device are not isolated from the power
supply or from each
other.
INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS:
•Electronic and analog signal drivers must run the plant separately from the output and power leads. If possible, in grounded conduits.
•The power supply for the electronic instruments must come from a proper power grid for instrumentation.
•It is recommended to use RC FILTERS (noise suppressors) in contactor coils, solenoids, etc.
•In control applications, it is essential to consider what can happen when any part of the system fails. The device's internal security features do
not guarantee full protection.
•The electrical connections must be made with the connection terminals marked on the device. Before connecting them, make sure that the
connections have been made correctly.
4.2.1 POWER SUPPLY
The connection for power supply is made at the terminals, according to the figure below. You must use a direct current power supply, with voltage
between 10 and 30 V. You can also use 12 and 24 Vdc power supplies.
Power supply

4.2.2 DIGITAL INPUT
The DigiRail OEE has digital input channels that can be configured in “Counting” or “Event” modes. Regardless of the selected function, you must
configure the type of sensor connected to the input: PNP, NPN or Dry Contact. After that, select the edge of the digital signal to generate the count
or event: Rising edge, falling edge or both edges.
