DC-OK function (monitoring)
This feature monitors the output voltage at the output terminal of an active power supply. The DC-OK function can be monitored via the DC-OK LED on the front of the device or via the EtherCAT interface.
LED (link with the DC-OK bit 0x6000:04)  | ||
|---|---|---|
DC-OK  | green  | As soon as the output voltage has reached the setpoint (default 22 V)  | 
DC-Not OK  | off  | As soon as the output voltage dips below a value, which is typically 0.5 V lower than the setpoint value (Hysteresis).  | 
Switching hysteresis  | 0.5 V typ.  | |
Via EtherCAT interface  | ||
|---|---|---|
DC-OK bit (index 0x6000:04)  | TRUE  | The output voltage is above the value defined in index 0x8000:16 "DC OK threshold".  | 
FALSE  | As soon as the output voltage falls below the value defined in index 0x8000:16 "DC OK threshold".  | |
"Output voltage" (Index 0x6000:11)  | Measured output voltage  | |
"DC OK threshold" (Index 0x8000:16)  | Parameterized value for the DC OK threshold  | |
