Figure 5 - Test Pulse in a Cycle
For the 1734-IB8S module, the pulse width (X) is typically 525 μs; the pulse
period (Y) is typically 144 ms.
When the external input contact is closed, a test pulse is output from the test
output terminal to diagnose the field wiring and input circuitry. By using this
function, short-circuits between inputs and 24V power, and between input signal
lines and open circuits can be detected.
