15.12.3 "Analogue output" module
The "Analogue output" module transfers the numerical results from the logic editor to the connected
peripherals. A maximum of 20 numerical outputs are available. The "in1" input processes numerical
values or vectors.
The results are available at the following interfaces:
● Ethernet (UDP) (→ „16.3.1 Ethernet (UDP)“)
● CAN (J1939, CANOpen) (→ „16.3.2 CAN (J1939, CANOpen)“)
The numerical results are scaled to 0..1 when using the CAN interface. The scaled results
can be transferred directly to a physical analogue output on the receiver side (e.g. CAN
control).
Thanks to the scaling it is possible to implement uniform standard programming regardless of
the functions of the device.
The bandwidth of the CAN interface is limited. Only the analogue outputs 0...5 can be
transferred via the CAN interface.
● Internal for configuring the 2D overlay (→ „11 2D overlay“): Output binary results via text replacement
within the 2D overlay (→ „11.2.1 Add text“)
The "Analogue output" module has the following setting:
Setting Data type Description
Index Numerical
You can use single indices or multiple indexes simultaneously (vectors).
Duplicate addresses lead to an undefined state at the output.
►Assign each address only once.
When using vectors at the "in1" input: If only one index is set, this index is used
as the start index.
Example: A vector with 8 binary values is present at input "in1" and index "3"
is set. Thus, the start index is "3". The 8 numerical values are assigned to the
analogue outputs "3..10".
