4.2.4 Setting digital output (multi-channel versions only)

The IQ

FLOW® multi-channel pc-board is equipped with three digital outputs. The digital outputs can be used for

driving shut-off valves (for instance). The digital outputs can be read or written via the parameter ‘IO Switch Status’.

The parameters can be set as indicated in the value table below. Note that this parameter is channel-independent.

Each output can be accessed via all channels. E.g. by writing this parameter via channel 2, it is possible to open/close a

shut-off valve located at channel 1.
