ZS8A

Product catalog summary
Overview: The ZS8A is a 2-wire telecontrol system designed for efficient and disturbance-immune transmission of messages, commands, and analog values over control lines up to 15 km. It is suitable for various applications including water/wastewater plants, industrial facilities, and building automation.
Specifications: The system supports unidirectional transmission of 8 binary values, with expansion options for additional binary or analog values. It features short-circuit proof transistor outputs, high interference immunity, and adjustable data rates. The modules are compact and designed for DIN-rail assembly.
System Operation: The ZS8A system operates on a two-wire transmission mode, with no specific cable quality requirements. It uses digital telegrams with checksums for secure data transmission, and the data rate can be adjusted via DIP-switches to suit different applications.
Inputs and Outputs: The system's inputs and outputs can be configured for static or counting/momentary pulses. It supports both current (0-20 mA) and voltage (0-10 V) signals for analog inputs/outputs. In case of transmission disturbances, outputs can be configured to maintain the last known valid state or reset to zero.
Technical Data: The nominal operating voltage is 24 V DC, with a range of 20-32 V DC. Power consumption varies by module type, with specific values provided for transmitter, receiver, and expansion modules. The system supports a maximum loop resistance of 10 kΩ and adjustable transmission rates of 1200, 2400, 4800, or 9600 Baud.
EM Compatibility: The ZS8A complies with various DIN EN standards for interference immunity and noise radiation, ensuring reliable operation in environments with potential electromagnetic disturbances.
Additional Features: The system includes LED indicators for operation monitoring and status indication. It is compatible with a range of power supplies and offers modular extensions for increased functionality.

Mode of operation 2-wire transmission The two-wire transmission system ZS8A was especially designed for cable-saving and immune to disturbance transmission of messages, commands and analog values over control lines with up to 15 km distance. TheZS8A system has no certain demand on the quality of the used cable for transmission, ithasahigh disturbance immunity against couplings from supply or signalling lines run in parallel. Therefore it is suitable for signal transmission in branched water/wastewater plants, industrial facilities and railway plants as well as building automation. System extension...

ZS8A-3

telecontrolling on control lines Mode of operation 2-wire transmission Every usual signal cable is suitable as transmission wire, in which the maximum loop restistance must not be exceeded. The bridgeable distance depends on the quality of the cable and the form and quantity of possibly noise interferences. To adapt the ZS8A on the different application cases ( type of transmission cable, distance of transmission and the speed requirements for transmission ), the data transmission rate is adjustable by DIP-switches. With lower baud rates larger distances and higher immunity against disturbances...
