Installation ManualPPM-10-IA-en-1654
☐ Maximum conductor cross-section with bootlace ferrule: 1.5mm² (16AWG)
Procedure:
1. Insert the cable into the product (see Section6.10.1, page55).
2. Connect the insulated conductors to terminal X704 of PPMA as shown in the provided circuitry diagram.
Pretension the springs of the spring-cage terminals with a screwdriver if stranded wires are used (see
Section6.10.2, page56).
3. Connect the insulated conductors to terminal X704 of PPMB as shown in the provided circuitry diagram.
Pretension the springs of the spring-cage terminals with a screwdriver if stranded wires are used (see
Section6.10.2, page56).
4. Ensure that the insulated conductors are firmly in place.
6.9.2 Connecting a Redundancy Connector
The Redundancy Connector is used to connect 2 redundant PowerPlantManagers to a higher-level control system
(such as a SCADA system).
Both PowerPlantManagers must be connected to the Redundancy Connector as described in this section.
The following table shows the configuration of the inputs at terminal block X704 for the connecting to the Redundancy
Connector.
Terminal Input Function
X704:1 GND Provided for connecting the redundant PowerPlantManager (see Sec-
tion6.9.1, page53)
X704:2 DIO1
X704:3 GND Change-over requirement of PowerPlantManagerA for the Redundancy
Connector
X704:4 DIO2
X704:5 24V Feedback 1 of the Redundancy Connector to the PowerPlantManager
X704:6 DIO3
X704:7 24V Feedback 2 of the Redundancy Connector to the PowerPlantManager
X704:8 DIO4
X704:9 24V external Provided for connecting the redundant PowerPlantManager (see Sec-
tion6.9.1, page53)
X704:10 GND external
Cable requirements:
☐ Conductor cross-section: 0.5mm² to 1.5mm² (21AWG to 16AWG)
