    5. Operation and setting 5.1 PWM measured value output X1 The measured residual current is available at the measurement output X1 as a PWM signal in proportion to the residual current. Values outside the permissible measuring range are available for approximately 1s after disconnection. The PWM frequency is 8 kHz. Sensitivity of the device: Measuring range 30 mA: M = 30 mA / 97 % = 0.3093 mA/% pulse width 0...30 mA equates to 0...97 %, where measured values <...

    The response to this command will be written into "Answer" register. In this case "Answer" from RCMA126P1-S means that the received value will be written into the SPI send register. The master can get this answer byte by sending a dummy command (0x00h) to which the RCMA126P1-S does not initiate an action.

    Operation and setting 5.2.2.6 Function control Converter Command Send 0x82h >= 0x00h The value returned will be incremented each RCMA126 Answer time a command is requested and will be reset to 0x00h when 0xffh is exceeded. For function control, the residual current monitoring module returns a value which is incre- mented whenever a command is requested.
