User Manual CSI-B-2
3. Installation
We recommend that the CSI-B-2 is installed in a control box or switch cabinet. You
can install the unit either horizontally or vertically on standard DIN rails.
Keep the CSI-B-2 units away from heat, high voltage and electrical interference
from other appliances!
When you are planning the installation requirements of the CSI-B-2 in your control
box, allow for heat-generating units which are in the box and ensure that the
CSI-B-2 is placed in a cooler part of the switch cabinet.
If an electronic unit is operated in a high ambient temperature, the service life will
be correspondingly shorter.
Sufficient space must be left between the CSI-B-2 and other equipment to allow
for cooling and wiring!
The CSI-B-2 units are designed for natural heat dissipation by emission. Therefore
leave at least 25 mm space above and below the units to ensure heat dissipation.
In addition, ensure a minimum installation depth of 75 mm.
If the ambient temperature nevertheless exceeds the maximum permissible
operating temperature of the unit, adequate cooling must be provided (e.g. air
conditioning for switch cabinet).
When you are planning the layout for your system, incorporate enough space
above and below the unit and sufficient distance from other equipment for wiring
the peripheral equipment and for connection of the communication cable.
The modules of the CSI-B-2 series carry the CE mark. A
declaration of conformity is available on request. The modules
conforms to EMC standards EN 61000-6-1, EN 61000-6-2,
EN 61000-6-3 and EN 61000-6-4. The requirements of the
standards are fulfilled only if the module housing is earthed
correctly by qualified personel.
4. Function
The CSI-B-2 is an electronic device for converting the HSI-Signal from one
HYDAC SMART sensor into a standardized PC signal.
It is therefore possible to read out the data from the connected SMART sensor via
the HYDAC PC-Software "CMWIN".
It is also possible to adjust the settings on the connected sensor (depending on
the sensor).
The conversion of the HSI signal can occur either in an RS232 or RS485 signal
(communication in the RS485 format occurs in the half-duplex procedure).
