SEL-2245-3 Analog Output Module
The SEL-2245-3 provides DC analog outputs for the SEL Axion® platform. Within an Axion system, install as many as sixteen SEL-2245-3 modules, with as many as three SEL-2245-3 modules per node.
Front Panel
The front panel of the SEL-2245-3 module features status LEDs and terminal connectors. The LEDs indicate the module's operational status. Terminal connectors are labeled for specific functions.
Figure 1: SEL-2245-3 DC Analog Output Module
The front panel displays two LEDs: ENABLED (green) and ALARM (amber). It also shows terminal connections labeled: 3-GND, 01, 02, 03, 8-GND, 05, 13-GND, 06, 18-GND, 19, 20, 08.
Mechanical Installation
The SEL-2242 chassis/backplane has slots labeled A-J. Slots B-J are compatible with SEL-2245-3 modules. Installation involves tipping the module, aligning a notch on its bottom with a chassis slot, and placing it on the chassis lip. The module is correctly aligned when it rests fully on the lip.
Figure 2: Proper Module Placement
This illustrates the process of inserting the module into the chassis, aligning the bottom notch with the designated slot on the chassis.
Next, carefully rotate the module into the chassis, making sure that the alignment tab fits into its corresponding slot at the top of the chassis. Press the module firmly into place and secure it with the chassis retaining screw.
Figure 3: Final Module Alignment
This shows the module correctly seated and aligned within the chassis, with the top alignment tab engaged.
Output Connections
The SEL-2245-3 provides DC analog outputs, indicated by a plus sign for positive convention. Refer to the specifications for analog output ratings and terminal assignments.
Outputs can be configured to drive ±20 mA or ±10 V signals. Configuration is done via a Fieldbus I/O connection for each module using ACSELERATOR RTAC® SEL-5033 Software. For details, consult the EtherCAT® section in the SEL-5033 software manual.
CAUTION: Use supply wires suitable for 60°C (140°F) above ambient temperature. Consult the product or manual for specific ratings.
LED Indicators
The module features two LEDs: ENABLED (green) and ALARM (amber), which relate to EtherCAT network operation.
The green ENABLED LED illuminates when the module is operating normally on the network.
The ALARM LED illuminates during network initialization or if a network problem occurs. For further information, refer to Section 3: Testing and Troubleshooting in the SEL-2240 Instruction Manual.
