Chapter 6 PS-A Monitoring Features

6-7

‹ External Output Signal

The PS-A’s RAS interface connector uses the following output signals.

General Purpose Output (DOUT 2 bits)

This general purpose digital output signal provides system condition information to external devices.

The System Monitor property of the control panel or the API-DLL is used by applications to control this signal.

The above mentioned general purpose digital output signals provide system condition information to

external devices.

The System Monitor property can be used to enable or disable any of these output signals.

Rated Load Voltage

DC24V

Maximum Load Current

120mA/point

Maximum Voltage Drop
between Terminals

1.5V (at 100mA load current)

Isolation Method

Via photocoupler

• Be sure to operate the unit within its maximum load current. If the maximum load

current exceeds this range, a malfunction or PS-A damage may occur.

• Design your electrical system by adding the load current and voltage values to the

terminal voltage. If load current value used is large, the voltage drop of 1.5V or less

will occur between the terminals.

• When connecting an induction load, be sure to connect the above drawing’s

protection diode (*1).
