The AFG has a load output signal which may be used
for PLC applications. For PLC applications, this
function requires an external cable with a built-in
solid-state relay – see Specifications for details of the
signal.
To configure the signal output from the AFG, press

appears. Press DOWN to move the arrow cursor to
PLC and press the ENTER key. The cursor arrow now
points to PLC OFF.
The display will show:

the load limit is reached and the
output signal will remain on.
