Technical data Application
The rack corresponds to the guidelines in DIN 41 494, Part 1 and IEC 297-3
The 19ʺ rack EURAX BT 901 (Fig. 1) is designed to accommodate EURAX plug-in modules in Euro-format 100 x 160 mm in varying
widths for measuring, signal processing and alarm monitoring
Matching the 100 mm height of the plug-in modules, the rack
is 3 HE (standard height units) high, i.e. 132.5 mm, and 84 TE (standard width units) wide, i.e. 426.72 mm. Assuming plug-
in modules with a width of 4 TE, this would provide space for
21 modules (Fig. 1). The capacity of up to 21 EURAX modules
of high functional density invariably involves a large number of
The EURAX BT 901 rack meets this requirement. Its modular
design enables different versions to be assembled which with a judicious choice of back-plane fi ttings can accommodate a wide
variety of connection facilities for a large number of input and

● Up to 342 screw terminals provides high-density accommodation for

… edge connectors for the plug-in module
Screw terminals with wire guards for max. 2 × 2.5 mm2 and wire-wrap or soldering posts (for fi tting into a terminal block)
Edge connectors
Acc. to “Layout and wiring diagram” supplied
There are three types of connectors: 32-pin, 48-pin and 6-pin.
The electrical contact in the case of the 32-pin (Fig. 2) and 48-pin
edge connector sockets is indirect and they are therefore used for low-voltage signal circuits. They are mounted in the back plane of
the 19ʺ rack and conform to DIN 41 612, pattern F.

dules” for front plate widths and the measured variables and functions available
The 6-pin connector (Fig. 3) is used for heavy current inputs. When the module is withdrawn, the metal ball (2) is pressed by the spring (3) against the two sockets (1) to short-circuit the external current circuit. When the module is plugged in, the tongue (4) pushes the ball (2) away from the two sockets (1), thus permitting the impressed current of the external circuit to fl ow through the module. The me-chanism is designed such that when withdrawing the module, the sockets are short-circuited before the pins and sockets separate. Similarly when inserting the module, the pins and sockets make before the short-circuit is operated. This ensures that at no time are the secondaries of current transformers open-circuited. The maximum thermal ratings of the shorting links are 12 A continuous, 65 A for 10 s and 200 A for 1 s. With the module inserted, i.e. in normal operation, the maximum ratings are determined by the ratings of the individual transducers. EURAX BT 901 19ʺ Rack
The screw terminals (Figures 5 and 6) are equipped with wire-guard clamps suitable for 2-wires with gauges up to 2.5 mm2. They are fi tted in terminal blocks with a capacity of 171 terminals each.
When measuring temperature using thermocouples (excluding thermocouple Type B), an Ni 100 resistor (Fig. 7) is available for reference point correction.
The plug-in modules are coded to prevent them being inserted in the wrong slot. Wiring (basic version)

The leads of multi-core plastic Sofl ex TQ 1.5 mm2 cable between the sockets of the 6-pin heavy current connectors and the screw terminals are crimped onto pins of the edge connector sockets and soldered to the pins of the screw terminals (Fig. 9).

Running the external cables just once wherever possible mini-mises the cost of cabling in the plant.
Individual cables, on the other hand, have the advantage of increased reliability, because not all the modules are dependent on a single link.
