3.2.11 Actuators
Each output can be loaded to a maximum of 1.6 A.
Fig. 11: Derating actuators
The total current may not exceed 9 A dur to the maximum current carrying
capacity of the power plug.
When looping through the actuator supply make sure that the total current of all
modules does not exceed 9 A.
Reverse polarity of the actuator voltage can damage the module.
The module may heat, depending on the load.
If an output is overloaded or short-circuited it is disabled. This output will remain
disabled even when the error was corrected. In order to reset the short-circuit
memory, the output must be switched off via the control.
We recommend not to exceed the following cable lengths in order to ensure fast switching off in case of
short-circuit.
max. 15m incoming cable 1.5mm² and max. 1.5m actuator cable 0.75 mm²
max. 10m incoming cable 1.5mm² and max. 3m actuator cable 0.75 mm²
3.2.12 Diagnostic Input at Input Sockets
Pin 2 of the M12 socket with digital signal can be parameterized as diagnostic input. If the signal 0V is
present at a diagnostic input, it will be inversely displayed in the process map. At the same time, a
channel-related diagnostic message "External Error" is generated via the DP diagnostic. The
corresponding LED lights up red. This makes it possible to display errors of external equipment at the
MVK-MP. Some suggestions are given in the following.
