Digital and PWM Outputs
Seven digital (on/o ) and PWM output drivers are available. One of these, the proportional driver,
can be operated in a current control mode for driving a proportional valve or similar load. e
frequency of this driver is normally 18 kHz, but this output can also serve to drive an electronic
speedometer or tachometer using the VCL function Automate_Frequency_Output().
e PWM drivers can be independently turned on continuously (low level) or pulse width modulated
to set the average output voltage. These outputs are intended to drive inductive loads such as
contactors and electromagnetic brakes but could also be used to drive resistive loads if peak current
ratings are not exceeded.
All these outputs are protected against shorts to KSI or low power ground. All high power inductive
loads should be connected to the coil return (pin 13), which provides yback diode protection.
ese lines can also be used as digital inputs, and are included in that group as well.
