Overview

Where it works

WDT-4 is a DIN-rail redundancy controller. When the modules on the Modbus bus or the module itself stop working, it switches over to an external photo sensor or clock. Its built-in relay operates when Modbus communication is lost, and it runs on 9 to 36 VDC.

Mounting: 35 mm DIN rail (IEC 60715)

  1. Automatic switching of the relay contacts to the NC (normally closed) position when Modbus communication is lost (emergency mode)
  2. Automatic switching of the relay contacts to the NO (normally open) position when Modbus communication is present (normal mode)

Transport, warranty and maintenance
Transport and storage
Protect the module from shocks and avoid extreme conditions. Store it in the original packaging.
Warranty
Two years from the date of manufacture against manufacturing defects. Modifications to the product after the publication date of its documentation release the manufacturer from liability. The manufacturer is not responsible for typographical or other errors in the documentation.
Maintenance
Under normal conditions the module needs no maintenance. Light dirt comes off with a dry or slightly damp cloth; for heavier dirt use non-aggressive cleaning products. Always disconnect the power supply first, keep liquids out of the housing and reconnect the power only when the module is completely dry.
