Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What programming software does the SR2B201FU require?
A1: The SR2B201FU supports ladder and FBD programming. Users can program directly through the local display. For PC-based programming, they need the Zelio Soft software and a connection cable like SR2USB01 or SR2BTC01.
Q2: What is the difference between SR2B201FU and SR2A201BD?
A2: The SR2B201FU runs on 100...240 V AC power and includes a built-in clock. The SR2A201BD runs on 24 V DC and does not include a clock. The SR2B201FU also supports FBD programming, while the SR2A201BD only supports ladder programming.
Q3: Can I add expansion modules to this smart relay?
A3: Yes. The Schneider Electric SR2B201FU supports discrete I/O extension modules. You can add up to 20 additional I/O points depending on the specific extension modules you choose.
Q4: Does this unit support analog inputs?
A4: No. This specific model, SR2B201FU, does not include analog inputs. If you need analog capabilities, please consider the SR2B201BD or SR2A201BD models which include 2 analog inputs.
Q5: What type of loads can the relay outputs switch?
A5: The relay outputs on the SR2B201FU switch both AC and DC loads. They handle resistive loads up to 8 A, inductive loads up to 0.9 A at 230 V AC, and DC loads up to 0.6 A at 24 V DC. For inductive DC loads, we recommend using a protection diode across the load to extend relay life.
