Table 2 shows some common combinations of output current levels
on several channels.
In the ON state, the effective resistance between V
OUT
and COM
is 0.12 Ω, which causes a voltage drop. For example, if the output
current is 1 A, the voltage drop is 0.12 V:
(1 A × 0.12 Ω) = 0.12 V
Configuring the Count-Input Channels
The [c]FP-PG-522 generates pulses consisting of a specified on
time followed by a specified off time. In FieldPoint software, you
can configure each count-input channel to operate with different
attributes. In the Channel Configuration dialog box, select
attributes for each channel from the Attributes menu. The
following sections describe the different attributes you can select
when you are configuring count-input channels. The [c]FP-PG-522
does not support synchronization between channels. For more
information about configuring channels in FieldPoint software,
refer to the online help.
Pulse Mode
The Pulse Mode attribute for a channel can be either Finite or
Continuous. In Finite mode, a channel responds to commands that
start a finite pulse train of a specified number of pulses or stop
generation of a currently running pulse train. These commands are
discussed in the Channel Commands section. In Continuous mode,
a channel continuously generates pulses and does not respond to
any commands.
