Output channel modes
Short Circuit Protection helps prevent damage that can result from driving a current from the channel greater than the maximum current level that the channel can handle.
Short Circuit Protection is available on all channels that are configured as digital outputs. However, there are some differences between the output channel modes.
Channel Mode | Channels |
|---|---|
Digital Output, Short Circuit | Even channels: 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 |
Digital Output, Short Circuit, No Load | Odd channels: 1, 3, 9, 11 |
Digital Output, Group Short Circuit | Odd channels: 5, 7, 13, 15 |
Group Short Circuit
When one of the Group Short Circuit channels experiences a short circuit condition, the other three channels experience a momentary fault and automatically recovers.
You can only configure channels 5, 7, 13, and 15 as Digital Output, Group Short Circuit.
No Load Diagnostics
No Load Diagnostics detects when a signal wire is disconnected from the channel. The I.Ptxx.NoLoad tag indicates the presence of a No Load condition when it is set to 1.
The No Load Diagnostics feature is disabled by default. To enable this feature, select the
Enable No Load Diagnostics
checkbox in the XX - Output
view. You can only configure channels 1, 3, 9, and 11 as Digital Output, Short Circuit, No Load Diagnostics.
