Talgil - RTU RF G5 - 840 LIN Expansion

The LIN Expansion series extends the capabilities of the Talgil Modular RTU and DREAM2 controller, offering flexible I/O options to meet a wide range of field application needs.

Compatible with RTU RF G5 (in G5 FAST mode) and DREAM2 Controllers, LIN cards connect via the dedicated LIN Port and support both parallel connection and automatic detection by the Master unit.

Each LIN card must be assigned a unique address when multiple cards of the same type are used. The Modular RTU auto-detects the card type and address, seamlessly integrating the data into the system.

Power Requirements:

When using a LIN Expansion with the Modular RTU, a 12V DC power supply is required. Connect the rechargeable battery to the BATTERY input on the power supply plug. Charging is supported via an 18V DC source (solar panel or power supply) connected to the CHARGE input.

Available LIN Expansion Models

At this stage - the following LIN Expansion Models are available:

• 4 ANA LIN (4 ANALOG INPUTS)
• 840 LIN (8 OUTPUTS / 4 DIGITAL INPUTS / 0 ANALOG INPUTS)
• MODBUS LIN
• SDI LIN

In G5 Fast, there is an option to connect several LIN cards in parallel. When connecting several LIN cards of the same type to the RTU Modular, set up a unique address for every LIN card. The RTU Modular automatically detects the LIN card type, and LIN card address, and transmits the LIN card type, address, and the LIN card Data to the Master unit.

8/4/0 LIN Expansion Module:

Provides a combination of DC Latching outputs and digital inputs for field control and monitoring.

• Outputs: 8x 12VDC Latching
• Inputs: 4x Digital Inputs
• Analog Inputs: No analog Inputs
• Programming Tool: Workbench PC software

The output type is a 12V DC latch. By default, the Output pulse duration (pulse period) is 90 milliseconds. The Output Pulse voltage is 16V DC.

It is used for 12V DC latched solenoids, Valves, or 12V DC Latch relays.

In addition, it has 4 Digital Inputs (Dry contact). By default, the Debounce is 100 milliseconds, the Divider is 1, and the Expansion is 1500 milliseconds. The pulse type is Dry contact.

Use the Workbench PC software while it is connected to the I/O 8/4 LIN CARD to program the card, see the Outputs/Inputs current status, change the Pulse period, Pulse voltage, Debounce, Divider, Expansion, and more settings.

840 LIN Expansion - Installation & Wiring Instructions:

For installation & Wiring instructions - visit the page here

1. Use the two dip switches called ADDRESS to set the I/O 8/4 card address.
2. Connect the Output’s wires to the Output plugs as described in the Image below.
3. Connect the Input’s wires to the Input plugs as described in the Image below.
4. Connect the LIN communication cable to the LIN port on the I/O 8/4 LIN CARD where 12V is a 12V DC power supply (Red), GND is the Ground (Black), and DATA is the LIN communication (Green).
5. Connect the LIN cable to the LIN port on the RTU RF G5 FAST MODULAR
   

NOTE:

The maximum length of the LIN cable is 10 meters.
