Structure

The module is equipped with 32 digital outputs. The outputs are not electrically isolated from

one another and from the voltage supply.

The module is equipped with a current limiting function, which limits the total current of all the

32 outputs. Additionally, the module monitors the total current for overload. If an overload is

present for longer than 100 ms, all the outputs are switched off and switched on again after ten

seconds. If the overload is still present, all the outputs are switched off again for ten seconds.

This process is repeated as long as the overload is present.

If an output overload is detected, the corresponding channel is switched off and automatically

switched on again after five seconds as soon as the overload is no longer present.

The processor system for the I/O module controls and monitors the I/O level. The data and

states of the I/O module are made available to the processor modules via the redundant system

bus. The system bus has a redundant structure for reasons of availability. Redundancy is only

ensured if both system bus modules are inserted in the base plates and configured in SILworX.
