MinOnTime and MinOffTime are used to dynamically define the pulse length (also
known as PDM, pulse duration modulation):
• Period = MinOnTime / AOValue
if AOValue <= MinOnTime / (MinOnTime + MinOffTime)
• Period = MinOffTime / (1- AOValue)
if AOValue > MinOnTime / (MinOnTime + MinOffTime)
Period

<= MinOnTime/(MinOnTime+MinOffTime)

1)
Avoid. Long MinOffTime and MinOnTime values require a long TimePeriod, because
outputs near 0% and 100% are changed to 0% or 100%.
2)
Avoid. Inputs near 0% greatly extend period (process value AOValue has a
resolution of 0.01%). The max. limitation of the function is 6553.5 s (1.8 h), but a
period this long does not make any sense.
Therefore the minimum AOValue should be limited so that a reasonable max.
Period results.
If the process value (AOValue) changes, the function calculates a new pulse length
based on the active pulse.
• The I/O Status LED is light proportional to the process value
• In case of error, the I/O status LED is lit together with the module status LED.
Details, blinking pattern and errors in particular: See section "Display, operation and
diagnosis" in [6] "TX-I/O™ engineering and installation".
Quality value "No_Output" is output if AC 24 V is missing.
The triac can then not switch on  The module switches off the output and sets
process value to 0.
The error message is sent only if a positioning command is available.
