Product overview 3.2 Functions Functions 3.2.1 DQ valve control DQ mode "DQ" refers to operation as digital output module. Valve control is a special function of DQ operating mode. Valve control function You can use the valve control function to switch to a lower "holding current" after operating the valve (inrush current).
Product overview 3.2 Functions "Pulse width modulation time period" parameter You use the "Pulse width modulation time period" parameter to specify the frequency of the pulse width modulation "modulated upon" for the valve control. "Pulse width modulation duty cycle" parameter You use the "Pulse width modulation duty cycle"...
Page 19
Product overview 3.2 Functions How it works In the pulse width modulation mode, the outputs provide a pulse width modulated output signal. Pulse width modulation is characterized by its time period (frequency) and its duty factor (also referred to as ON period or Duty Cycle ). The duty factor describes the relation between pulse duration and time period.
Product overview 3.2 Functions ① Minimum pulse pause ② Output characteristic ③ Minimum pulse duration Figure 3-4 Output characteristic of the pulse duration 3.2.3 Oversampling Oversampling is the output of data in constant bus cycle segments (sub-cycles), whereby n sub-cycles correspond to one PROFINET bus cycle. A data packet is transmitted from the controller to the module, which outputs the packet in n constant bus sub-cycles.
Page 21
Product overview 3.2 Functions Configuration You configure oversampling with the following parameters: • "Oversampling" operating mode • Output rate NOTE When oversampling is configured, do not use any reduction ratio of blocks in the runtime groups of your user program. Make sure that the output of data in the module is synchronized with the user program of the CPU.
Product overview 3.2 Functions 3.2.4 Parallel connection of channels To increase the output current to 8 A, you can connect channels 0 and 1 or channels 4 and 5 in parallel. Configuration You configure the function "Parallel connection of channels": •...
