Output current (derating), IP/IE2512

When using the PWM modules, the power loss in the modules has to be taken in account.

The maximum current for the inductive case, e.g. using a proportional valve, is given in the following graph.

If pure ohmic loads are used, the line will be horizontally at 2.5 A, independent of the frequency.

Current versus Duty Cycle

Note
Warning

Modules with hardware revision D.xxxxxx00 (see hard-software revisions) do have a different derating behavior.
