1. Short description
AUMA actuator controls with FO connection are intended for use in optical fieldbus
networks.
The FO connection integrated in the electrical connection enables the conversion
from electrical RS-485 signals into optical signals and vice versa.
FO connection behaviour is transparent at the bus, i.e. control of AUMA actuators
via bus is identical to control via copper cables (RS-485).
Contrary to RS-485 based systems, different topologies are possible:
●Line topology
●Star topology
●Redundant ring topology
Apart from the large distances, FO cables offer further advantages:
●In environments with electromagnetic interference
●Lightning arrester or overvoltage protection
●Equipotential earth bonding and earthing
●Galvanic separation of the actuator
●Use of common cable trenches for power and signal cables
●Prevention of interference emissions along the transmission line
This allows for customised solutions and various applications such as water/waste
water industries, tunnelling, power plants, thermal industry or telecontrol engineering.

2. FO connection
2.1 Basic information
Hazardous voltage!
Risk of electric shock.Failure to observe this warning can result in death or serious
injury.
→The connection must be carried out exclusively by suitably qualified personnel.
→Prior to opening: Disconnect both system and device from the mains.
→Observe basic information contained in this chapter.
→Observe safety instructions contained in the operation instructions pertaining
to the actuator.
Eye damage caused by open fibre optic cable ends!
→NEVER look directly into open cable ends or FO cable connections.
Connection or receive problems when ignoring the installation instructions!
→Only use FO cable connection (connector types) with the wiring techniques in-
dicated in these instructions.
→Only mount connector types with locking mechanisms in the defined position.
→Protect unused FO cable connections against contamination or dust with protec-
tive caps/plugs supplied by the factory.
→Connect incoming FO cable with the optical receiver, the outgoing FO cable
with the optical sender. NOT vice versa!
→Do NOT kink FO cables! Observe bending radius of cable manufacturer.
Cable and wire types

Damping coefficient
Remove outer sheathing of FO cable at a length of approx. 25 cm to enable ring
wiring in the terminal compartment.
Figure 1: Plug type FSMA
Controls mounted to wall bracket
In the event of heavy vibration of the valve, we recommend mounting the actuator
controls separately from the actuator on a wall bracket. For information about the
wall bracket, refer to operation instructions for the actuator.

Hazardous voltage!
Risk of electric shock.
→Disconnect device from the mains before opening.
1. Loosen screws [2] and remove cover [1].
➥Terminal compartments [4] and [5] are designed either in type of protection Ex
e (increased safety) or in type of protection Ex d (flameproof enclosure). Hereby,
the flameproof interior compartment of the actuator (Ex d) remains closed.
2. Insert cable glands with Ex e approval and suitable for connection cables.
➥The enclosure protection IP… stated on the name plate is only ensured if suita-
ble cable glands are used. Example: Name plate shows enclosure protection
IP 68.
3. Seal cable entries unused cable entries with approved plugs suitable for the
required protection type.
4. Remove cable sheathing and insert the wires into the cable glands.
5. Fasten cable glands with the specified torque to ensure required enclosure
protection.

FO connection
2.3 FO cables: connect
1. Remove safety circlip and take FO coupler off top head rail.
Figure 3: FO coupler on top head rail
2. Place FO coupler on fixing plate in "parking position"
Figure 4: FO coupler in "parking position"
3. Insert FO cables through cable glands.
4. Link FO connectors crosswise:
Optical output of actuator 1 with optical input of actuator 2.
Optical input of actuator 1 with optical output of actuator 2.

1. Clean sealing faces of cover [1] and housing.
2. Plug/socket connector designed as KES flameproof: Preserve joint surfaces
with an acid-free corrosion protection agent.
3. Check whether O-ring [3] is in good condition, replace if damaged.
4. Apply a thin film of non-acidic grease (e.g. petroleum jelly) to the O-ring and
insert it correctly.
Flameproof enclosure, danger of explosion!
Risk of death or serious injury.
→Handle cover and housing parts with care.
→Joint surfaces must not be damaged or soiled in any way.
→Do not jam cover during fitting.
5. Fit cover [1] and fasten screws [2] evenly crosswise.

3. Network topologies
When connecting several field devices (actuators) in a network, the structure is called
network topology. AUMA offers different network topologies.

Special features of line topology
The optical signal is converted into an electrical signal at each device. Prior to
transmission to the next device, the electrical signal is converted into an optical
signal.
Interruption of an FO cable (case A) or failure of an FO connection board (case B)
results in loss of control for the subsequent actuators:
Case A
(standard)
As soon as the electrical connection is removed from the ACExC 01.2 , FO connection
of this actuator is no longer available. As a consequence, communication with the
subsequent actuators is lost. To prevent this, FO connection used in the ACExC
01.2 can also be externally supplied with 24 V DC.
8
Network topologies
Case B
(option)
As soon as the actuator is switched off (motor voltage), the FO connection board of
this actuator is no longer available. As a consequence, communication with the
subsequent actuators is lost. To prevent this, the complete ACExC 01.2 can be
externally supplied with 24 V DC.

Information Maximum number of FO device (actuators) connected in series is 36.
Special features of ring topology
●The interruption of an FO cable between two actuators is recognised by the
redundancy modules. Both display and bus indicate: Wrn FOC. The network
is then operated as an optical line and all actuators remain available.
●If one module fails (i.e. when power supply is interrupted), only the actuator
connected to this module is disconnected from the ring, the remaining network
stays operative as a line. All other actuators remain available.
●The actuators have a redundant FO cable connection with a standard Profibus
DP interface (not redundant).
Special features of the ring topology during configuration
The following conditions have to be met for the optical ring
●Configuration of a non-existent bus station with the highest possible bus address.
●Increase of the retry value to a minimum of 3.
●Check slot time and set to a minimum of 900.
●Calculation of run times within the ring:
Tring = (n – 1) * TFO coupler + L * tFO
Tring Max. run time within the ring
