Supported output configurations For the SCU-2501 / SCU-2502 a concurrent and independent operation of analog output and relay is possible . For SCU-2503 the output is either presented on the analog or frequency output . In case of SCU-2503 being configured for analog output, the frequency output can be configured for ‘relay mode’...
Programming The SCU-PDM1 or SCU-PDM2 communication interfaces provide complete module programming and access to a wide range of operational features that help you when using the device . This chapter deals with the SCU-2501 / SCU-2502 / SCU-2503 advanced features . The complete menu structure and programming options can be found in the Routing diagram section .

Advanced settings menu Password protection (PASS): Programming access can be blocked by assigning a password . The password is saved in the device in order to ensure a high degree of protection against unauthorized modifications to the configuration . Memory (MEM): In the memory menu you can save the configuration of the device in the SCU-PDM1 or SCU-PDM2 and then move the SCU-PDM1 or SCU-PDM2 onto another device of the same type and download the configuration in the new device .
