AI/DI_type091

PWM/DO/CM_type086

Possible pin modes:

PWM mode with high side current measurement
DO mode

Select the mode using MultiTool. MultiTool generates the needed code using functions from SafeSSeriesIODriverExt library. For more information refer to Epec Programming and libraries Manual and MultiTool Manual.

When using this type of pin, the power switch must be switched on as well.

Output (PWM/DO)

This type of pin is a current sourcing output with a high side current measurement feature (the pin connects the load to a positive supply voltage through the shunt resistors).
These outputs have a switching element called a smart FET. It has integrated features to protect itself and also the external pin, wiring and actuator.
These outputs are capable of generating pulse width modulated (PWM) output signals.
When used as an output, the status feature indicates the output FET's state

The FET outputs are grouped into pairs:

The maximum continuous current for a single output in the pair is 2,5 A.
The maximum continuous current for the pair is 4 A.

The pairs are indicated with upper case characters in the pin table's Pair column in section I/O List

It is recommended to use the function blocks in SafeSSeriesHardware library to protect and diagnose outputs when used as digital outputs. For more information, refer to Epec Programming and Libraries Manual.

High side current measurement

The application can control the current with a current measurement feature
The firmware limits the maximum current to 3 A (when the current exceeds the value by more than the predefined time, the output is switched off)

Note 1: Frequency of a (PWM) Pulse Width Modulation is = 1 / Period
Note 2: The duty cycle is defined as the percentage of digital ‘high’ to digital ‘low’ signals present during a PWM period.

Note 3: The PWM resolution is defined as the maximum number of pulses that you can pack into a PWM period.
Note 4: tC denotes software cycle time.
Note 5: The maximum output current depends on the load, PWM frequency and temperature.

Note 6: Firmware protects the internal shunt resistor in case of overcurrent. Firmware overcurrent protection reacts typically within 10-20ms in case the current exceeds 3A. This over current limit cannot be adjusted by software and is meant only for protection of the hardware. It is possible to set the lower limiting value for overcurrent protection in the application by using current feedback and ready library POUs.

Note 7: When both outputs in the pair are used, the maximum continuous current for the pair is 4 A.

Note 8: When the frequency increases, the actual duty cycle may be bigger than the value that has been set due to inherent delays of the hardware.
