- Working Principle:
- The CPU writes target pulse count and frequency to the module’s internal registers via the backplane bus. The module’s internal hardware generates the pulse train autonomously using a crystal oscillator. Each output transistor switches on/off to produce the pulse train. The CPU can update parameters in real-time without stopping the pulse output.
- Installation Requirements:
- Mount in VersaMax chassis
- Connect external 24VDC pull-up supply to each output (if not using internal)
- Use twisted-pair cable for pulse outputs to reduce EMI
- Keep pulse cables away from AC power lines
- Usage Precautions:
- Do not connect outputs directly to AC loads — transistor outputs are DC only
- Ensure external pull-up voltage does not exceed 30VDC
- Do not exceed 100mA per channel — use external relays for higher loads
- Add flyback diodes for inductive loads (solenoids, relays)
- Do not hot-swap
