Mounting and Connecting #

The RevPi was developed for use in a control cabinet. Follow the specifications for Intended Use and all Safety Instructions.

Warning
Danger to life due to electrical shock

There is a risk of fatal electrical shock when working on devices in the switch cabinet with 230 V mains voltage.

▷ Operations in the switch cabinet may only be carried out by qualified electricians.

▷ Before carrying out any operations in the switch cabinet, switch off the power supply properly.
Caution
Damage to the device due to overheating

The ambient temperature in the switch cabinet must not exceed the maximum permissible operating temperature.

▷ Keep ventilation slots clear.

▷ Observe the installation clearances.

▷ Mount the device in the intended orientation.

▷ Do not place appliances with high input power directly next to each other.

▷ Regularly remove dust and dirt from the area around the appliance.

Carry out the mounting and connection in the following order:

  1. Mount the RevPi base module and all expansion modules on a DIN rail.

  2. Connect the expansion module via PiBridge plug connector.

  3. Connect all other devices such as sensors and actuators.

  4. Finally, connect the power supply.

Connecting the System Ground (GND) #

Caution
Damage to the device due to different grounding

▷ Refer all connections to the same system ground.

▷ Connect external voltage inputs or outputs with different grounding externally.

A system ground connection is available for all inputs and outputs on the 28-pin connector, which is connected through to the RevPi expansion module. All inputs and outputs refer to a common system ground as reference potential.

▷ Connect the system ground and the ground from the external voltage input (e.g. of a controller) with low impedance.

Configuration #

An expansion module is configured as part of the module configuration of the Revolution Pi system, i.e. a RevPi base module with expansion modules. This is possible via the application PiCtory or, if applicable, directly in the development environment, e.g. via CODESYS.

Note

CODESYS and PiCtory cannot be used in parallel for configuration. An existing configuration via PiCtory will be overwritten by a configuration via CODESYS.

The virtual devices OPC UA Server and MQTT Client can only be used via PiCtory.

Parameterization #

The following parameters, inputs (INP), outputs (OUT) and memory variables (MEM) can be configured:

DigitalInput_1 … 4 (INP) #

Indicates the level at digital input 1 … 4 is applied.

  • 0: low

  • 1: high

DutyCycle_PulseLength_1 … 4 (INP) #

Depending on the mode set, displays the measured duty cycle or the measured pulse length: 0 … 65 535.

Fpwm_PulseCount_1 … 4 (INP) #

Depending on the mode selected, displays the measured frequency or registered pulses: 0 … 2000.

AnalogInputLogicLevel_1 (INP) #

Displays if the switching threshold is exceeded.

  • 0: Switching threshold has not been exceeded.

  • 1: Switching threshold has been exceeded.

AnalogInput_1 … 8 (INP) #

Displays the voltage at analog input 1 … 8 in mV: Logic 0 … 10 000 (buffer 760 mV).

DigitalOutput_1 … 4 (OUT) #

Defines the level of the digital outputs:

  • 0: low

  • 1: high

PwmDutycycle_1 … 4 (OUT) #

Sets the duty cycle for the individual digital outputs: 0 … 999.

The duty cycle indicates the ratio between pulse duration and period duration for a periodic sequence of pulses.

AnalogOutputLogicLevel_1 … 8 (OUT) #

Defines the level of the analog outputs in LogicLevel mode:

  • 0: low

  • 1: high

AnalogOutput_1 … 8 (OUT) #

Sets the voltage for the output in mV: 0 … 10 000.

EncoderMode (MEM) #

Determines whether GPIO3 and GPIO4 are used as quad encoder input:

  • 0: No encoder

  • 1: Use GPIO3 and GPIO4 as encoders

GPIO1 and GPIO2 can continue to be used as an output with all modes or as an input (no PWM, no pulse).

IO_Mode_1 … 4 (MEM) #

Defines the operating mode for the respective digital input or output.

  • digitalIn: Connection is used as digital Input (level detection).

  • pulseIn: Connection is used as digital input for pulse measurement.

  • pwmIn: Connection is used as digital input for PWM measurement.

  • digitalOut: Connection is used as digital output (level output).

  • pulseOut: Connection is used as digital output to deliver pulses.

  • pwmOut: Connection is used as digital output for pulse width modulation.

See also: Examples: Configuring digital inputs and outputs on the RevPi MIO in PiCtory.

Pullup (MEM) #

Activates a pull-up resistor for the digital inputs:

  • 0: Pull-up deactivated

  • 1: Pull-up activated

PulseMode (MEM) #

Activates the retrigger mode:

  • 0: Single

  • 1: Retrigger

FpwmOut_12, 3, 4 (MEM) #

Defines the PWM frequency for the digital outputs: 0 … 65 535.

12 = PWM frequency for output 1 and 2; both always use the same frequency. Connections 3 and 4 can be configured separately.

Possible frequencies:

  • Output 1 and 2(GPO1 & 2): 1 … 60 000 Hz

  • Output 3 and 4 (GPO3 and GPO4): 2 … 120 000 Hz

PulseLength_1 … 4 (MEM) #

Defines the pulse length at the respective digital output: 0 … 65 535.

AnalogInputMode_1 … 8 (MEM) #

Defines the mode for the analog inputs:

  • analogInput: Voltage measurement

  • LogicLevelInput: Level detection

InputLogicLevelVoltage_1 … 8 (MEM) #

Sets the switching threshold for level detection: 0 … 10 000.

FilterWindowSize (MEM) #

Sets the filter width of the moving average filter: 1 … 255.

Moving Average Filter

The RevPi MIO measures with 15 bits and delivers values from 0 to 10 000 mV.

The moving average filter averages several measured values to reduce noise.

This makes the signal more stable, but slower to react to rapid changes.

AnalogOutputMode_1 … 8 (MEM) #

Defines the mode for the outputs:

  • analogOutput: Use as an analog output, i.e. outputs provide a voltage between 0 … 10 V.

  • LogicLevelOutput: Use as a digital output, i.e. outputs provide a constant, preconfigured voltage. Logic level adjustable up to 10 V.

OutputLogicLevelVoltage_1 … 8 (MEM) #

Sets a fixed output voltage in mV for the LogicLevel mode: 0 … 10 000.

AnalogOutput must be unequal to 0 so that OutputLogicLevelVoltage is output.
