CONTROL-BOX - HARDWARE DESCRIPTION 

This chapter gives you some information about the operation of the control box. It allows you to exercise 

the function of all inputs and outputs on the BOLERO45/41  device without the need to add any other 

external component to them.  The components on the control-box can be identified from the figures below 

showing the front, top, and the rear panels. Inside the control-box there is a 1-wire temperature sensor, 

therefore you are able with corresponding PFAL commands to test also the 1-Wire interface on BOLERO40 

series device.

Item 

Description 

LED (+IN) 

Lights when the +IN-switch is turned to ON. 

LED (IGN) 

Lights when the IGN-switch is turned to ON. 

+IN - switch 

This two-way-switch enables or disables power to the connected BOLERO45/41  unit. (To enable 

power to the device, the 

Current

- switch must be set to “

ON

“) 

IGN - switch 

This two-way-switch wakes up the BOLERO45/41 device from 

IGN-sleep

 mode and sets the 

IGN-pin

 

of the BOLERO45/41 to 

High

 or 

Low signal level

 for using the rising edge and falling edge events. 

IO - switches 

These pins have dual functions. All are controlled by the internal firmware of BOLERO40. Therefore, 

the user must define whether to use them as analog or digital pins. The configured digital pins can be 

inputs or outputs while the analog pins can only be inputs. Their function is controlled with 

commands with 

$PFAL,IO1[2].Config=DI,1,10

  or 

$PFAL,IO1[2].Config=AI

,

1,10

  by changing the 

electrical behaviour of the reference pin to digital or analogue input (

DI

 = Digital input; 

AI

 = Analogue 

input). These three-way switches (from IO/2 to IO/3, while the IO/1 does not have any function – as 

IO1 is not available for BOLERO40 series.) allow operation of the IOs either as digital/analogue inputs 

or digital outputs. More details how to test these IOs, are given below

 

  

Testing IOs as digital 
inputs: 

When the reference IO (e.g: IO/2) is configured as digital input with "

$PFAL,IO1.Config=DI,2,10

", the 

BOLERO45/41 device will generate a rising edge event "IO.e1=redge" and set the state of the IO/2 to 

high "IO.s1=high", if:  

 

the position of the IO/2-Switch changes from "

Digital IN - Low" 

to "

Digital IN - High".
