1 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Vega RP-1 port replicator is designed for connecting to the monitoring devices of
the Vega MT series for extending the number of device outputs and inputs.
RP-1 may be connected through RS-232 or RS-485 interface and has 4 open drain
outputs and 6 multifunctional inputs.
You can set up the inputs and outputs of the RP-1 through the “Configurator”
application. In this case, you should connect to the monitoring device that is supposed
to be expanded.

DEVICE INDICATION
The device has one red LED indicators which shows the external power status.
LED signal
Meaning
Always red External power connected
Red flashes Data exchanging through one of the interfaces
Short red flashes
Sleep mode (the transition between the "Sleep"
and "Active" modes occurs synchronously with
the monitoring device)
CONNECTION TO THE MONITORING DEVICE
RP-1 connection is carried out via RS-232 or RS-485 interfaces, depending on the
model of the monitoring device, to which the port replicator is intended. In this case, the
monitoring device must already be connected and configured (see "User manual" for
your device). To connect RP-1 to the device, do the following:
1. Connect the connector with wires to the RP-1.
2. Connect another end of the connector to the monitoring device.
3. Connect an external power with voltage of 9…36 V (board net) to the RP-1. After
power connection the red LED will must become glowing.
4. Run the Configurator application on the PC, press “Connect” button and choose
the connection method like “Connect through TCP”.
5. Choose your device in the list.

6. On the left menu choose “Settings”, “Inputs/Outputs” tab.
7. Choose the connection type for your device in the line “Input/output extension
unit” - “Connected to”: RS-232 or RS-485.
INPUTS/OUTPUTS
The “Inputs / Outputs” tab allows you to configure RP-1 inputs and outputs in a specific
way.
Multifunctional input - has the settings “Input Type”: Digital, Frequency, Pulse, Analog, -
and “Active Level”: Low / High.

Revision 02 - 03.12.2020
In analog mode, the input voltage is measured. Such an input can be used for sensors
whose readings vary in a certain range.
In digital mode, the input signal level (0 or 1) is measured. Such an input can be used for
logic sensors, the readings of which are determined by two states (on/off).
In the frequency mode, the frequency of the pulse signal is measured. Such an input, for
example, is convenient to use for a car tachometer.
In pulse mode, the number of pulses at the input is counted. Such an input can be used
for flow rate sensors, for example, fuel consumption.
In the settings of multifunctional inputs in the “Configurator” application, in addition to
selecting a mode for each input, there is a parameter called “Active Level”. It can take the value
“low” and “high” and characterizes the magnitude and direction of the input tightening.

ACTUATORS
Actuators are connected to the device via digital outputs 1…4, which are of the type
“Open drain”.
Permissible load on each digital output 0.5 A
To increase the load on the outputs of the device, you must use an external relay. The
relay connection diagram is shown below.
