Pulse width output
ba75504e07 04/2012
The output via the pulse width is used, e.g. for controlling valves.
Pulse-width regulation changes the duration of operation (ton) of the
output signal. Depending on the position of the measured value in the
proportional range, the relay is operated for a longer or shorter period.

The cycle duration (T) is made up of the turn-on and turn-off switching

This means the relay operates for a longer period.

If the duration of the closing or opening pulse is shorter than 0.1 s, the
relay remains open or closed for the complete cycle duration.
