Short Circuit Detection

IMPORTANT: This feature is available only in Voltage (V) mode.
Short Circuit Detection helps prevent damage that can result from a mis-wiring or driving a current from the channel greater than the maximum current level the channel can handle.
When a short circuit condition is detected, the following occurs:
  • The output turns off.
  • The
    I.Chxx.ShortCircuit
     tag is set to 1.
For more information on the maximum current that you can apply to an output, see the PointMax I/O System Specifications Technical Data, publication 5034-TD001.
