REX12D Electronic Circuit Protector
Description
The compact and flexible all-in-one solution REX consists of several
perfectly matched components. It comprises the EM12D-T / EM12-T
supply module for the plus and minus potential via a single or double
channel REX12D-T electronic circuit protector which can be mounted
side by side in any number and the PM12-T potential extension
module for plus and minus multiplication.
The requirements regarding modern machinery and equipment are
constantly growing. System transparency, remote maintenance and
remote access are getting more and more important in international
competition. Early notification in the event of any disturbances and
a fast response to current problems will increase system availability,
save costs and improve the overall stability of the production process.
E-T-A provides the ideal solution for machine and panel builders
with the intelligent protection system comprising the REX12D circuit
protector and the EM12D interface module. The system combines
the well-proven quality of DC24V overcurrent protection with the
communication options of the IO link system. It allows complete
transparency of the DC24V power supply and provides all necessary
information for a reliable production process in this plant sector.
The new generation of REX12D electronic overcurrent protection
consists of the intelligent EM12-TIO supply module and the single
or double channel REX12D-Telectronic circuit protector which allows
modular side-by-side mounting. The modules with a width of only
12.5 mm feature push-in technology including press release buttons
and allow time-saving and maintenance-free wiring without tools.
And what is more: no additional accessories are required when
connecting the individual components electrically and mechanically.
This helps save time and money!

- at no operating voltage
Switch on of load circuit
- momentary switch ON/OFF The circuit protector can be switched
on by the superordinate control unit or
otherwise directly on the device. These
two options are linked with AND. Switch-
on is only possible if switched on from
both positions. If the circuit protector was
switched off either by the control unit or
by the momentary switch directly on the
device, switch-on has to be effected also
from the corresponding position.
- Apply

Reset function
For switch-on the device has to be supplied
with operating voltage. The device re-
starts with the last stored condition.
A blocked load output (blocked by
overload / short circuit) can be reset by
the ON/OFF momentary switch or by the
superordinate control unit.

Notes
The intelligent EM12D-TIO supply module is only meant for use
with extra-low voltage (DC 24 V).
l
Connection to a higher or not reliably disconnected voltage can
cause hazardous conditions or damages.
l
Only the intended circuit protectors must be used.
l
The technical data of the circuit protectors used have to be
observed.
l
The entire power distribution system must only be installed by
qualified personnel.
l
Only after expert installation must the device be supplied with
power.
l
After tripping of the circuit protector and before reset, the cause
of the failure (short circuit or overload) must be remedied.
l
The national standards (e.g. for Germany DIN VDE 0100) have
to be observed for installation and selection of feed and return
cables.
l
For convenient adjustment and configuration by means of
projecting software a master data file (GSDML file) will be made
available for downloading on the E-T-A homepage.
Please observe separate user manual of the EM12D-TIO.

REX12D Electronic Circuit Protector
Description – EM12D-T supply module
The EM12D-T supply module receives the DC 24 V supply voltage,
e.g. from a switched mode power supply, and distributes it to the
installed intelligent circuit protectors via the integral connector arm of
the REX12D-T. The communication interface of the EM12D-T, which is
designed as an IO link device, allows a great number of diagnosis and
control commands to a superordinate IO link master of the control level.
