SlotGroup 3 | 2 multi-function digital outputs (24 V DC, 0.5 A, PWM)

Two fast digital outputs are available. The output circuit is optimized for fast signal output, so these can be used either as a pulse width modulated 24 V square wave signal (PWM signal) or a digital output signal. The configuration is carried out via SlotGroup 3.

Switching behavior of the outputs

If the output is configured as a PWM signal, it is possible to switch the output to a tristate state. The output is then actively switched to 24 V and high-resistance. The high-resistance tristate state ensures that the respective output behaves as if it was not connected and does not affect the outputs of other outputs/devices connected to it. The associated output takes on the same output voltage as the other active devices.

Notes on the switching behavior of the outputs

  • With inductive load:
    The switching behavior of the output with inductive loads deviates from the specified switching times due to the inductance of the selected load.
  • When switching via a PLC variable:
    If the output is switched via a PLC variable, the delays caused by the PLC cycle time must also be taken into account in addition to the TON/TOFF.
  • In tristate mode
    Internal circuit causes a leakage current in tristate mode, which results in a voltage of approx. 5 V.
