Introduction
The PLE500-8AD integrates the fundamental elements of the control loop
into a single device: reading of the temperature probe, control of the digital
regulation output, reading and control of the current passing through the load
thanks to the input for the current transformer. The device is completed with
functions such as alarms, the management of dual action hot / cold systems and
the possibility of using the PLE500-8AD as a simple PLC-controlled expansion.

2 Safety guidelines
Read carefully the safety guidelines and programming instructions contained
in this manual before connecting/using the device.
Disconnect power supply before proceeding to hardware settings or electrical
wirings to avoid risk of electric shock, fire, malfunction.
Do not install/operate the device in environments with flammable/
explosive gases. This device has been designed and conceived for industrial
environments and applications that rely on proper safety conditions in
accordance with national and international regulations on labour and personal
safety. Any application that might lead to serious physical dama ge/ life risk or
involve medical life support devices should be avoided.
Device is not conceived for applications related to nuclear power plants,
weapon systems, flight control, mass transportation systems.
Only qualified personnel should be allowed to use device and/or service it and
only in accordance to technical data listed in this manual.
Do not dismantle/modify/repair any internal component.
Device must be installed and can operate only within the allowed

User manual - PLE500-8AD - 9
environmental conditions. Overheating may lead to risk of fire and can shorten
the lifecycle of electronic components.
2.1 Organization of safety notices
Safety notices in this manual are organized as follows:
Safety notice Description
Danger! Disregarding these safety guidelines and notices can be
life-threatening.
Warning! Disregarding these safety guidelines and notices can result in
severe injury or substantial damage to property.
Information! This information is important for preventing errors.

10 - PLE500-8AD - User manual
2.2 Safety Precautions
Danger!
CAUTION - Risk of Fire and Electric Shock
This product is UL listed as Open Type Process Control
Equipment. It must be mounted in an enclosure that does not
allow fire to escape externally.
Danger!
If the output relays are used past their life expectancy, contact
fusing or burning may occasionally occur.
Always consider the application conditions and use the output
relays within their rated load and electrical life expectancy. The
life expectancy of output relays varies considerably with the
output load and switching conditions.
Warning!
Devices shall be supplied with limited energy according to
UL 61010-1 3rd Ed, section 9.4 or LPS in conformance with UL
60950-1 or SELV in conformance with UL 60950-1 or Class 2 in
compliance with UL 1310 or UL 1585.

User manual - PLE500-8AD - 11
Warning!
Loose screws may occasionally result in fire.
For screw terminals, tighten screws to tightening torque between
0.5 and 0.6 Nm
Warning!
A malfunction in the Digital Controller may occasionally make
control operations impossible or prevent alarm outputs,
resulting in property damage. To maintain safety in the event
of malfunction of the Digital Controller, take appropriate safety
measures, such as installing a monitoring device on a separate
line.
2.3 Precautions for safe use
Be sure to observe the following precautions to prevent operation failure,
malfunction, or adverse affects on the performance and functions of the
product. Not doing so may occasionally result in unexpected events. Do not
handle the Digital Controller in ways that exceed the ratings.

12 - PLE500-8AD - User manual
• The product is designed for indoor use only. Do not use or store the product
outdoors or in any of the following places.
- Places directly subject to heat radiated from heating equipment.
- Places subject to splashing liquid or oil atmosphere.
- Places subject to direct sunlight.
- Places subject to dust or corrosive gas (in particular, sulfide gas and
ammonia gas).
- Places subject to intense temperature change.
- Places subject to icing and condensation.
- Places subject to vibration and large shocks.
• Installing two or more controllers in close proximity might lead to increased
internal temperature and this might shorten the life cycle of electronic
components. It is strongly recommended to install cooling fans or other
air-conditioning devices inside the control cabinet.
• Always check the terminal names and polarity and be sure to wire properly.
Do not wire the terminals that are not used.
• To avoid inductive noise, keep the controller wiring away from power

User manual - PLE500-8AD - 13
cables that carry high voltages or large currents. Also, do not wire power
lines together with or parallel to Digital Controller wiring. Using shielded
cables and using separate conduits or ducts is recommended. Attach a
surge suppressor or noise filter to peripheral devices that generate noise
(in particular motors, transformers, solenoids, magnetic coils or other
equipment that have an inductance component). When a noise filter is
used at the power supply, first check the voltage or current, and attach
the noise filter as close as possible to the Digital Controller. Allow as much
space as possible between the Digital Controller and devices that generate
powerful high frequencies (high-frequency welders, high-frequency
sewing machines, etc.) or surge.
• A switch or circuit breaker must be provided close to device. The switch
or circuit breaker must be within easy reach of the operator, and must be
marked as a disconnecting means for the controller.
• Wipe off any dirt from the Digital Controller with a soft dry cloth. Never
use thinners, benzine, alcohol, or any cleaners that contain these or other
organic solvents. Deformation or discoloration may occur.

14 - PLE500-8AD - User manual
• The number of non-volatile memory write operations is limited. Therefore,
use EEprom write mode when frequently overwriting data, e.g.: through
communications.
2.4 Environmental policy / WEEE
Do not dispose electric tools together with household waste material.
According to European Directive 2012/19/EU on waste electrical and electronic
equipment and its implementation in accordance with national law, electric
tools that have reached the end of their life must be collected separately and
returned to an environmentally compatible recycling facility.

4.1 Mounting sequence of the PL500 and of the
PLE500 expansion modules
The PL500 with the relevant I/O modules requires mounting and connection
via the specific bus lodged in the hollow of the DIN rail. The I/O modules (series
PLE500-xAD) will be automatically numbered at each power-on, assigning
the number 1 to the first I/O module connected to the right of the PL500,
the number 2 to the following one and so on, always moving towards the
right side. The position of the various modules shall thus reflect the sequence
set in the LogicLab project in the definition of the PLCEXP network. For the
numbering procedure to work correctly, it is not permitted to remove devices
from the network by releasing them from their own bus and leaving some
empty modules (bus slots) between one module and another. All connection/
disconnection operations must be carried out with power off.

User manual - PLE500-8AD - 17
Clik!
Couple all the buses by pushing them
towards the DIN rail, making sure that
the male connection faces left and the
female one faces right.
Couple the buses together by sliding
them along the DIN rail.
Insert the various modules in the slots
of the buses starting from the PL500
and continuing to the right with the
I/O modules.
