Ground resistance signaling module Ground fault alarm via digital output DC 24V
Features
The module establishes an internal connection between the 0 V (X2.2) and ground (X2.1) connections via a semiconductor switch.
At 10 s intervals, the connection between 0 V and ground is interrupted for 0.5 s, and the isolation resistance between +24 V (X1.3) or 0 V (X2.2) of the supply voltage and earth (X2.1) is determined.
The grounding connection on the module does not meet the requirements of a protective earth terminal (PE). It serves as a functional ground. The measurement method does not involve the module establishing any permanent connection bet-ween 0 V and ground.
In this operating mode, the semiconductor switch to establish a connection between 0 V (X2.2) and ground (X2.1) is deactivated. At 1 s intervals, the isolation resistance offset is determined for 0.5 s.
The module does not meet the requirements of an isolation monitoring device per EN 61557-8.
The potential-free contact serves the purpose of supporting evaluation (e.g., via a PLC) of looming isolation faults.
This contact must not be used to switch safety-related products that could cause the circuit to switch off.
