). Any digital input can be configured to act as the deciding factor for switching
between the main and auxiliary settings. Moreover, both normal and inverse logic can be
used to drive the digital inputs.
Note that in a multi-unit filter system in which more than one master system is present,
the digital inputs of all masters have to be set up and cabled in the same way to obtain
full redundancy.
The electrical requirements of the digital inputs are as discussed in
Chapter 12
.
gives an example of how to implement the main/auxiliary control switching
functionality on Digital Input 2. It is assumed that normal control logic is used.

When implementing the function described above, please note that according to the
setup done with the PQF-Manager for the input considered, the filter may behave
differently.
shows the filter behavior as a function of the PQF-Manager settings.
WARNING: If a function is assigned to a digital input, the same function must never be
assigned to the other digital input. Otherwise the filter may behave erratically.
