24 V DC loop power supply (plug-in module) 
Use of the ‘loop power supply (blue)’ plug-in card allows a 
passive output on the transmitter to be used as an active 
output. See also Connection examples on page 53.

The plug-in module can only be used in slot OC1. 
 
Loop power supply 24 V DC 
Terminals V1 / V2 
Function  For active connection of passive outputs 
Output Voltage  24 V DC at 0 mA, 
  17 V DC at 25 mA 
Load rating I
max
  25 mA, permanently short circuit-proof 
 
 
Note 
If the device is used in potentially explosive atmospheres, the 
plug-in card for the loop power supply may only be used to 
supply a passive output. It is not allowed, to connect it to 
multiple passive outputs! 
 
 
Modbus® / PROFIBUS DP® interface V1 / V2 (plug-in card) 
A Modbus or PROFIBUS DP interface can be implemented by 
using the ‘Modbus RTU, RS485 (white)’ or ‘PROFIBUS DP, RS485 
(white)’ plug-in cards.

The corresponding plug-in card can only be used in slot OC1. 
 
 
For information on communication through the Modbus or 
PROFIBUS DP protocols, refer to chapters Modbus® 
communication on page 61 and PROFIBUS DP® communication 
on page 62. 
 
 
 
 
 
Connection examples 
 
Input and output functions are configured via the device 
software in accordance with the desired application. 
 
Digital output 41 / 42, 51 / 52, V3 / V4 active 
When the ‘loop power supply 24 V DC (blue)’ plug-in card is used, 
the digital outputs on the basic device and on the option 
modules can also be wired as active digital outputs. 
 
Note 
Each ‘loop power supply (blue)’ plug-in card must only power one 
output. 
It must not be connected to two outputs (for example digital 
output 41 / 42 and 51 / 52)!
