S-DIAS VARAN Analyzer VA 011
with 1 VARAN In
1 VARAN Out
1 Ethernet
The VA 011 S-DIAS VARAN Analyzer module allows the analy-
sis of communication in a real-time Ethernet VARAN bus net-
work. The connection is made over a free VARAN port. If no port
is available, an existing VARAN bus connection can simply be
removed and the VARAN Analyzer inserted. The data to analyze
are output through a Gigabit Ethernet port and can be evaluated
with the VARAN Service Tool. The option is also available to an-
alyze the data via Wireshark and protocol plug-in from
SIGMATEK.

2 Basic Safety Guidelines
2.1 Symbols Used
The following symbols are used in the operator documentation for warning and danger mes-
sages, as well as informational notes:
DANGER
Identifies an immediate danger with high risk, which will lead to immediate
death or serious injury if not avoided.
WARNING
Identifies a possible danger with a mid-level risk, which can lead to death or
(serious) injury if not avoided.
CAUTION
Identifies a low risk danger, which can lead to injury or property damage if
not avoided.
Provides user tips, informs of special features and identifies especially im-
portant information in the text.
Danger for ESD-sensitive components

6 ESD Protection
Before any device is connected to or disconnected from the VA 011, the po-
tential with ground should be equalized (by touching the control cabinet or
ground terminal). Electrostatic loads (through clothing and shoes) can
thereby be dissipated.

7 Connector Layout
The connections of the +24 Vsupply (X4: pin 1 and pin 2) or the GND supply
(X4: pin 3 and pin 4) are internally bridged. To supply the module, only one
connection to a +24 V pin (pin 1 or pin 2) and a GND pin (pin 3 or pin 4) is
required. The bridged connections may be used for further looping of the +24
V supply and the GND supply. However, it must be taken into account that a
total current of 6 A per connection is not exceeded by the forward looping!
