Switching outputs

You can switch the sensor power supply outputs like digital outputs.

Preparation

Switching outputs 1:

Switchable outputs are switched off in Config Mode

If you make a sensor power supply output switchable, it is automatically switched off in Config Mode.

Further information can be found in chapter EtherCAT status in Config Mode (EP1839-0022, EP1839-0042).

To be able to switch an output, set the corresponding CoE parameter 81n0:06 "Use output as power supply" to FALSE.

Process data

The variables for switching the outputs are located in the process data object DOS Output.

This process data object is disabled in the factory settings. You can enable it by setting the Predefined PDO Assignment "16 DI full diagnosis 8 DO sensor supply". The procedure for setting a Predefined PDO Assignment can be found in chapter Adapt process image (EP1819-0005, EP1839-0022, EP1839-0042).
