Use
The RXM21.1 PL-Link I/O-Block allows control of a single fancoil unit by a PXC3
room automation station via the PL-Link peripheral bus. It is optimized for fancoil
installation and control in terms of housing, connection terminals and I/O mix. The
PL-Link (PeripheraL-Link) is a two-wire bus system optimized for communication
between peripheral devices (sensors, actors) and the modular PXC3 room
automation stations in the domains or HVAC, lighting and shading.

Observe notes in this document
All connection terminals are plug-in terminals. The terminals are separated to
prevent faulty wiring for terminals connected to AC 230 V (supply, relay outputs).
STOP Note
Warning!
Cable strain relief for lines for terminals 19 ... 28
(AC230 V) is mandatory. Attach the lines to the
related lugs on the housing base using cable
blinders (see picture, right).
Plug-in terminals connected to power must be
removed from power prior to plug-in or plug-out!
3873J04
The PL-Link I/O-Block RXM21.1 contains the following interfaces:
•PL-Link terminals.
•RJ45 tool plug for FW upgrade (proprietary, a Siemens connection cable is
required).
Warning! •Only trained electrical installation staff may connect the tool plug (RJ45)!
Adjacent terminal may be powered.
•Do not connect Ethernet to the RJ45 plug! The device at the other end might be
destroyed!
Disposal
"The device is considered electronics device for disposal in terms of European
Directive 2002/96/EG (WEEE) and may not be disposed of as domestic garbage.
The device must be disposed of via the proper channels.
Follow all local and currently applicable laws and regulations.

Engineering notes
Installation manual TRA, CM111043, contains all information required to engineer
the PL-Link bus (topology, repeater, etc.)
•The PL-Link I/O-Block is operated on AC 230 V power. The device directly
supplies power to actuators (valves, dampers). As a result, no separate AC 24 V
supply is required for the field devices.
•The sizing and fusing of the power lines are oriented to overall load and local
regulations.
•Supply circuits are interrupted as soon as plug 19/21 is removed from the device.
(Bridges 19-19 and 21-21 are located on the print, not the plug; see terminal
diagram page 11).
•The power lines must be fused on the device with strain relief.
•The potential-free relay outputs allow for switching loads up to AC 250 V, 5 A
(4 A).
•The sizing and fusing of the power lines are oriented to overall connected load
and local regulations. The switching circuits must be externally fused (≤10 A);
no internal fusing.
•The cables must be attached to the device with strain relief.
STOP Caution! •Do not connect fans in parallel.
Outputs Y1 ... Y4 may not exceed 9 VA simultaneous load.
Y1, Y2 (heating) 3-position valve actuator 4.5 VA
Y3, Y4 (cooling) 3-position valve actuator 4.5 VA
Max. load for heating and cooling sequence is 9 VA each.
This is allowed because both sequences are not active simultaneously.
STOP Note With small loads (< 2 VA), tolerance may be > +20% (see technical data).

Mounting notes
The PL-Link I/O-Block can be mounted in any position using the following
attachment methods:
3873J06
3873J07
Mounting on tophat rail
The housing base contains a snap-on
option to mount on tophat DIN rails, type
EN50022-35x7,5 (snap off using
screwdriver)
Direct mounting
Two predrilled holes to mount using screws
(drilling diagram, see "Dimensions").
The housing base has higher support surfaces.
Screws: Max. dia. 3.5 mm, length min. 38 mm
STOP Note
Tightening torque for fastening screws: Max. 1.5 Nm
Observe the following for mounting:
•Heat generated during operation must be removed; make sure the air circulates
sufficiently around the device.
•Easy access for service.
•Comply with local installation regulations!
The mounting instructions including drilling template is printed on the device
packing.
Commissioning notes
Outputs are inactive (relay off, triac off) when an application does not use an output.
The outputs can be controlled and the inputs queried as part of a special test mode
(SSA tool).
3-position actuators: No synchronization is executed when the sense of rotation is
changed.
STOP
Caution!
•The thermal fuse in the transformer may be triggered in case of extended
overload (ca. 4 minutes) or short circuits.
The device must then be replaced.
•The AC 24 V side does not have protection against faulty wiring on AC 230 V.
•AC 230 V mains power for supply and relay must be switched off prior to
plugging in and removing plug-in terminals (risk of electric shock!)
•Supply circuits are interrupted as soon as plug 19/21 is removed from the
device. (Bridges 19-19 and 21-21 are located on the print, not the plug; see
terminal diagram page 11).
