Translation of original instruction manual
System status
The fourth area of the process image of the inputs contains the following status information of
the system: the current level of both supply voltages, the temperature and the runtime since the
last restart.
Designation BYTE Data type Comment
Voltage 1 16 INT [mV] supply voltage "Power Motor"
Voltage 2 18 INT [mV] supply voltage "Power Logic+Sensors",
a value is also output here if the second
voltage supply is not connected.
Temperature 20 INT [d°C] temperature of MultiControl
SystemUpTime 22 LINT [s] time since last restart
Additional signals
The last part of the process image of the inputs is subdivided into five subsections:
• Control inputs
• Control outputs
• Handshake signals
• Zone status
• Global signals
These input signals have no meaning for the use of MultiControl as I/O device.
Process image of the
outputs
The process image of the outputs is divided into three parts: Digital I/O, Motors and Other
signals.
Digital outputs
The digital outputs are located in the first part process image of the outputs. The outputs can be
directly switched by a PLC only if the I/O is set to "2: PLC-Output". The physical state at the
output also depends on the configuration of the output (PNP/NPN, positive or negative polarity).

Motors
The second part of the process image of the outputs contains the outputs for the reference
setting of the connected motors.
