Sets the immediate or triggered current level when the output is operating in current priority mode.
The triggered level is a stored value that is transferred to the output when an output Step is
triggered.Units are in amperes.The maximum value depends on the current rating of the unit. The
minimum value is the most negative value.
Parameter Typical Return
-10.2% to 102% of rating, *RST 0
With power dissipator: up to -102% to 102% of rating
