4. CONTROL-BOX - HARDWARE DESCRIPTION

This chapter gives you some information about the operation of the control box. It allows you to exercise
the function of all inputs and outputs on the BOLERO45/41 device without the need to add any other
external component to them. The components on the control-box can be identified from the figures below
showing the front, top, and the rear panels. Inside the control-box there is a 1-wire temperature sensor,
therefore you are able with corresponding PFAL commands to test also the 1-Wire interface on BOLERO40
series device.

Description
Lights when the +IN-switch is turned to ON.
Lights when the IGN-switch is turned to ON.
This two-way-switch enables or disables power to the connected BOLERO45/41 unit. (To enable
power to the device, the Current- switch must be set to "ON")
This two-way-switch wakes up the BOLERO45/41 device from IGN-sleep mode and sets the IGN-pin
of the BOLERO45/41 to High or Low signal level for using the rising edge and falling edge events.
These pins have dual functions. All are controlled by the internal firmware of BOLERO40. Therefore,
the user must define whether to use them as analog or digital pins. The configured digital pins can be
inputs or outputs while the analog pins can only be inputs. Their function is controlled with
commands with $PFAL,IO1[2].Config=DI,1,10 or $PFAL,IO1[2].Config=AI,1,10 by changing the
electrical behaviour of the reference pin to digital or analogue input (DI = Digital input; AI = Analogue
input). These three-way switches (from IO/2 to IO/3, while the IO/1 does not have any function – as
IO1 is not available for BOLERO40 series.) allow operation of the IOs either as digital/analogue inputs
or digital outputs. More details how to test these IOs, are given
When the reference IO (e.g: IO/2) is configured as digital input with "$PFAL,IO1.Config=DI,2,10", the
BOLERO45/41 device will generate a rising edge event "IO.e1=redge" and set the state of the IO/2 to
high "IO.s1=high", if:
•
the position of the IO/2-Switch changes from "Digital IN - Low" to "Digital IN - High".
