External periphery

LEDs and buttons

There are LEDs and buttons on the processor module:

• Power indicator - green LED PWR.

• Two LEDs (green and red) STAT controlled from the GPIO port expander chip.

• The main user button FUNC.

• Optional additional internal user button USER (depending on the revision of the processor module E1-CPU).

Note

The function of the LEDs STAT and the button FUNC during the controller operation is determined by the installed software.

• The LEDs are connected to the GPIO port expander:

  • The red LED is connected to pin 0 of the expander,

  • зеленый светодиод - к выводу 1 расширителя.

  For more information on controlling LEDs, see “GPIO Port Extenders “ in this documentation.

• The button FUNC is connected directly to the pin IO0 ESP32. The logic of the button is inverse: when the button is closed, the input of the microcontroller will have the level of logic 0.

  Note

  Holding down the FUNC button when turning on the power, puts the controller in the firmware mode.

• The optional user button USER is connected to the GPIO port expander on the port 2. The logic of the button is inverse.

Relay

The controller contains 5 relays with the following characteristics:

• Maximum switchable current - 16A

• Maximum switched - 250V AC.

• Galvanic isolation between relay contacts - 1000V.

Warning

The relays are not protected against overloading and overheating. The relays and controller may be damaged if they are over rated.

Relay outputs:

• The relay 1 has the output type Changeover contact and is led to a three-pin screw terminal with pin spacing 5mm

• The relays 2-5 are of the output type NO contact and are terminated on two-pin screw terminals with pin spacing 5mm.

Discrete inputs

The controller contains 6 digital inputs type Dry Contact, brought out to two external four-pin screw terminals with contact spacing of 3.5mm.

The binary input must be shorted to the common contact GND.

Warning

Be careful when connecting the digital inputs. Do not allow voltage to be applied to the digital inputs, there are pull-up resistors to 5V on the board.

The controller has the capability to connect external sensors via the 1-Wire bus.

The 1-Wire bus is connected to the GPIO16 ESP32 microcontroller pin.

A pull-up resistor for the 1-Wire data line is installed on the board, so there’s no need to install additional external pull-up resistors.

Console

The processor module board has a USB-UART interface converter on the microchip CP2102, and a MicroUSB connector on the front panel of the controller.

Power

The following power supply options are available:

• From an external stabilized DC source via an external terminal.

  Note

  • Recommended (rated) input voltage range 12V to 48V

  • The maximum input supply voltage range is 9 to 56V.

  • A stabilized DC power supply of at least 5W must be used.

• Via technology Passive PoE via the Ethernet port connector.

  Note

  • Recommended nominal input supply voltage Passive PoE - 12 to 48V

  • The polarity does not matter. The recommended power scheme is: “+” power supply to pins 4 and 5, “-” power supply to pins 7 and 8 of the Ethernet connector

Note

If power is applied to both the external terminal and the Ethernet connector at the same time, power will be supplied from a high voltage source. It is recommended to use one of the power supply options.

Warning

There is no galvanic isolation of the power supply circuits in the controller.

Software

Installing

Officially supported software:

• ESPHome - ESP32 firmware to work with Home Assistant.

• ESP-IDF - official SDK from Espressif for development on ESP32.

Note

It is also possible to use any other software for ESP32: Tasmota, Arduino and others.

Controller firmware

The ESP32 microcontroller has the ability to flash over a dedicated UART0 interface (pins IO34 and IO35 of the ESP32 module).

For flashing it is enough to connect the processor module board to the computer through the USB interface, through the MicroUSB connector on the front panel of the controller.

Note

When using standard tools for flashing ESP32 microcontrollers the switch to the bootloader mode is made automatically when flashing.

Note

• The processor module can be powered from the MicroUSB connector during flashing.

• This will not supply power to the lower controller board.

Safety precautions

• During operation and maintenance of the controller the requirements of GOST 12.3.019-80, “The rules of operation of electrical installations of consumers” and “Safety rules for the operation of electrical installations of consumers” should be observed.

• Any connections to the unit and maintenance work should be performed only when the controller and the actuators connected to it are de-energized.

• Only qualified service personnel should be allowed physical access to the controller during installation and maintenance.

• Do not allow moisture to get on the contacts of output connectors and internal elements of the controller.

• The controller must not be used in the presence of acids, alkalis, oils and other aggressive substances in the atmosphere.

• The controller is not intended for use on objects that are potentially dangerous to life and health of others.

• It is not allowed to connect the instrument to the local Ethernet network with access to the Internet network without providing reliable means of interconnection protection.

Mounting

The unit can be installed in an electrical equipment cabinet or other location, where it must be protected from moisture, dirt and foreign objects, as well as vibration-free.

Note

For better cooling of the internal components, the housing should be installed in an upright position.

To install it, you have to:

• Make sure there is enough space to connect the device and run the wires.

• Securely fasten the unit to the DIN rail or to a vertical surface with screws.

To remove it from the DIN-rail you should:

• Insert the tip of a screwdriver into the latch eyelet.

• Press the latch down.

• Take the controller away from the DIN rail.

Operating conditions

• Ambient temperature: 0..+40 С.

• Relative humidity up to 80% without condensation.

• Closed explosion-proof rooms without aggressive vapors and gases.

Wiring recommendations

It is recommended that stranded copper cables be used to ensure reliable electrical connections. The cable ends should be stripped and then tinned or cable lugs should be used. The cable strands should be stripped so that their bare ends do not protrude beyond the terminal block after connection to the controller.

General requirements for connection lines:

• When laying the cables, the communication lines that connect the device to the sensors or other devices should be separated into separate routes, and located separately from power cables and cables that cause high-frequency and pulse interference.

• To protect the inputs of the device from the influence of electromagnetic interference, the communication lines of the controller should be shielded. Special cables with braided shielding can be used as shields.

• It is recommended to install line noise filters in the power line of the controller.

• In the case of controlling power equipment, it is recommended that spark-quenching filters be installed on the switching line of this equipment.

Limitations

Warning

The device is not intended for use in facilities potentially endangering the life and health of others, as well as life support systems and other critical systems.
