1 Description
The 6.2 mm wide MINI MCR-SL-R-UI... potiposition Features
transducer converts potentiometer positions as a
– Configurable potipostion transducer
percentage of an standard analog signal. If the
potentiometer range cannot be utilized to the full, an – Output signal range can be configured using a DIP
externally accessible slide switch is used to set the upper switch
and lower potiposition end values. The output signal – Screw connection available
between 0 and 100% is based on this fixed end value.
The DIP switches are accessible on the side of the housing
and allow the following parameters to be configured:
– output signal,
– automatic potentiometer detection,
– Wire-break detection slider as well as
– error indication type.
The voltage (19.2 V DC to 30 V DC) can be supplied either
via the connection terminal blocks of the module or
in conjunction with the DIN rail connector.

Make sure you always use the latest documentation.

– Mount the module on a 35 mm DIN rail according to EN

60715.
– When using the DIN rail connector, first place it into the
DIN rail (see A – C). It is used to bridge the power
supply. It is also absolutely vital that you snap the
module and the DIN rail connector into position in the
correct direction: the snap-on foot should be at the
bottom and the connector on the left.

7 Configuration
If the modules are not configured (all DIP switches set to
position 0), the module does not have a defined function
until the DIP switches have been set.
Use the DIP switch to specify the output signal range,
potentiometer detection/wire-break detection, and error
evaluation.
Activate automatic potentiometer detection to obtain
optimum measurement results.
You can use the S2 DIP switch to select the voltage and
current output.
