Signal converter SMI473

Product catalog summary
Product Description: The SMI473 signal converter transforms digital signals into serial output signals for the BMS bus. It features 12 digital inputs for potential-free contacts, which can be configured as alarm or operating messages. The default setting is 8 inputs for alarms and 4 for operations.
Functionality: The device connects to alarm relay contacts and converts input signals into serial information for the BMS bus, facilitating communication with other Bender devices. It includes a common alarm relay with selectable operation principles and adjusts automatically to the appropriate baud rate.
Device Features: The SMI473 includes 12 digital inputs, LED indicators for each channel, and an RS-485 interface. The operating principle can be set to normally open (N/O) or normally closed (N/C) operation.
Operating Elements: The device includes LEDs for power, alarm, and RS-485 activities, a DIP switch for setting device addresses, and LEDs for each input channel.
Technical Specifications: The SMI473 supports a supply voltage range of DC 77-286 V/AC 85-265 V, with a frequency range of 50-60 Hz. It has a power consumption of ≤ 3 W and supports a cable length of up to 30 m for digital inputs. The RS-485 interface supports a baud rate of 9.6 to 57.6 kbit/s and a cable length of up to 1200 m.
Environmental and Mechanical Conditions: The device operates within a temperature range of -10 to +55 °C and complies with EMC standards EN 61000-6-2 and EN 61000-6-4. It is classified for various climatic and mechanical conditions according to IEC 60721.
Connection and Mounting: The SMI473 uses screw-type terminals for connections and supports both DIN rail and screw mounting. It has a degree of protection of IP30 for internal components and IP20 for terminals.

Signal converter SMI473-2

Product description The signal converter SMI473 converts digital signals (operating and alarm messages) to serial output signals for the BMS bus. Its 12 digital inputs for potential-free contacts can be split into two groups as alarm or operating messages. Factory setting: 8 inputs for alarm messages and 4 inputs for operating messages. Function The potential-free contacts of the alarm relays of the respective monitoring devices are connected to the digital inputs. One LED indicator is assigned to each of the inputs “IN1” to “IN12”. The operating principle of the inputs can be set to N/O or N/C...
