Fuse and electronic overload protection
Overload protection attempts to protect the module from damage from moderate faults in the
range of 2.4 A to 15 A at the P switch. Above 15 A on each P-switch fuse, the internal non-
replaceable fuse can open. Supply your SM 1226 F-DQ 4 x 24 VDC from a source limited to
less than 15 A, or use an external fuse or non-shorting load element to prevent opening of
the internal fuse.
The internal electronic limiting causes the channel to passivate and reports as an overload. If
no damage results, you can reintegrate the channel after removal of the external fault.
