3.1. System description

The system DATAEAGLE 4xxx is used for a transparent
Ethernet data transmission. It consists of a radio master and
up to 4 radio slaves (depending on the device type).

The series DATAEAGLE 4xx2, 4xx3 and 4xx5 is optimized

for Profinet and openSAFETY via UDP.

Up to 6 Profinet devices or 16 Safety Nodes (SN) can be

connected to one or more radio slaves (depending on the de-
vice type).

The radio links work like an Ethernet cable.

Each radio module is identified by its address.

Subsequently the terms Ethernet and Profinet are used

equivalently. Differences are described where appropriate.

circuit. This fuse cannot be exchanged. The device has
to be disconnected from the power supply for approx. 2
minutes after the fuse has been triggered. Ensure that
the power supply provides 9 to 33 V DC before you
switch on the supply voltage.

The output „REL“ switches on radio reception the

supply voltage which is applied to the 9-33 V input.
(I REL max. 500mA)
This output can be used for monitoring the radio link.

 Chapter 6 – Filter time

6. Increasing the system availability

(Profinet only)

6.1. Function
The filter time is used to suppress short radio interferences.
This function is only active for cyclical data transmission like
Profinet.

If a radio slave cannot be accessed due to an interference, a

bus error is indicated to the Profinet controller only after the
filter time has been elapsed. Only then are the outputs of the
connected Profinet devices switched into safe condition.

The advantage is that Profinet bus errors can be supressed

for an adjustable time and thus the system availability van ib
increased.

6.3. Typical values for the filter time

6.3.1. Default

The factory setting of the filter time is 2 sec.

6.3.2. Recommendation for operation

Typical filter delay times in operation should be between

500 ms and 2 s.
The filter time should be increased under the following condi-
tions:

 Slave has many I/O data

 Many slaves should be accessed by the DATAEAGLE
 Low transmission quality due to disturbance-afflicted envi-
ronment

6.3.3. Recommendation for commissioning

For commissioning it is recommended to select a value be-

tween 1 s and 4 s. This eliminates an early triggering of the
filter.

Afterwards the filter time may be reduced.

6.3.4. Recommendation for applications with Profisafe

In applications with Profisafe the filter time should be set

higher than the SIL monitor time at Profisafe.

Please observe: The higher the filter time is selected the

later a bus error is indicated (max. only as long as the
selected SIL monitor time). Please verify therefore if your
application meets the required safety criteria with the se-
lected filter time.

8. Tips and Tricks

8.1. Improving the EMC safety

8.1.1. Introduction

The wireless data systems DATAEAGLE are electronic

devices which are built according to the latest state of
technology. The ruggedly mechanical structure as well as the
construction of the electronic components is designed for
industrial applications.

Nevertheless some measurements have to be taken during

installation, which are important for an error free operation. If
these are not observed, the measurements which have been
taken within the devices for achieving a higher interference
resistance and surge immunity will become partly inefficient.
The interference resistance of the complete system depends
highly on the correct installation, place of installation and
wiring. Before installation, always check which installation
instructions are required by the supplier of the controller for a
safe operation. These instructions should be consistent with
the recommendations given here.

8.1.2. Basic guidelines

Grounding
Noise voltages which are injected by supply and signal lines
into the device as well as electrostatic voltages caused by
contact will be discharged to the grounding point. The
grounding point has to be connected with a preferably short
copper cable (with little resistance) to the protective earth
conductor connection of the device.

Installation and commissioning DATAEAGLE 4XXX Compact 8-1

 Chapter 8 – Tips and Tricks

Shielding
Use always screened cables for the interface cable and the
supply cable. Thereby you reduce the interference probability
by a ratio of 100 compared to unshielded cables and even up
to a ratio of 1000 if you also avoid loops.

The density of the shield netting should be at least 85%. To

avoid that the injected interference current on the shielded
cable becomes a source of interference itself, a connection
with low impedance to the grounding point is very important.

Connect the shield always on both sides to EMC grounding

(in general PE).

Bus and power

cables Place the bus cables at least 20 cm away from the power ca-
bles, if possible in separate cable ducts

Unused leads
Connect all unused leads of a cable always on both sides to
PE.

Plug housing
Use metallic or metallised plug housing. The shielding of the
cable should always be connected to the plug housing.

Mounting plate
Always mount all electronic devices on a galvanized
mounting plate in the control cabinet. This mounting plate
functions as EMC earth (neutral point) and is significant for
the interference suppression. That is the only way the
interference energy can flow back to the source of
interference. Avoid coated surfaces such as Eloxal, yellow
chromated.

A sufficient discharge of the HF fields through the PE net is

not possible due to the high cable impedance. Therefore the
PE net cannot be compared with EMC earth, even though
they are directly electrically connected.

Installation and commissioning DATAEAGLE 4XXX Compact 8-2

 Chapter 8 – Tips and Tricks

Connections to
EMC earth Design all connections with EMC earth as short as possible
and as extensive as possible. Pay attention that all metallic
housings have good contact to the galvanized mounting
surface.

Housing for
sources of Pay attention that all electronic or electric parts which should
interference be considered as possible source of HF interferences are
installed in a closed metallic housing.

Protective earth
conductor Run the protective earth conductors of the individual system
components star-shaped towards the potential equalization
rail. Thereby you avoid that interferences are injected by PE
loops which act as antennas. Unfavourable earth protection
connections and loops may bridge EMC measurements and
will make them inefficiently

Control cabinet
wiring Pay unconditional attention to a separation of N (neutral
conductor) and PE (earth protection) inside the control
cabinet. Measure with a clamp-on ammeter if equalizing
Legend currents flow across the PE control cabinet cable. Here, no
currents should flow permanently.

 Chapter 8 – Tips and Tricks

In highly disturbed environmental conditions, which may

occur for example in industry buildings with induction
furnaces we recommend a PE free installation (see
illustration). The galvanized mounting plate cannot be
grounded due to the high voltage drop of the different
grounding points within the building. Because the radio
modem is only supplied with 9-33V DC grounding is not
necessarily requested. Only HF earth is required. If a circular
current across the screen is measured (measure with a
clamp-on ammeter) a DC isolation should be realized by
using a X capacitor 100nF /230V. The capacitor acts with low
impedance against high frequent interferences but avoids cir-
cular currents.

In this installation the mounting plate may not be

grounded through PE.

Check the setting of all modems. Pay attention to correct
settings of channel, station and partner address.

Distance
Check the distance towards the partner station. Select first a
distance of a few meters and increase the distance step by
step up to the intended distance.

Antennas
Check the antenna connection. Check if all antennas are
connected correctly. Pay attention that coax antenna cable is
not flexed. Check next if all antennas are installed according
to the guidelines described in chapter 7.2.

Sources of
interference Check if there are any interferences on the transmission
side.
