Specifications:
e.bloxx D1 Module’s functionality can be selected by different firmware that can be downloaded by configuration
software ICP 100. Beside the standard firmware three special firmware are available, one for Chronos method, one for
Chronos/PWM and Frequency output and one for Fast Chronos. The respective functionality is described in the
following table.

Every listed combination of I/Os is valid. The limitation of combination is the module’s maximum of 8 I/O terminals.
Notice:
At Chronos-PWM version automatically the first 2 PWM channels are fast PWM, remaining ones are slow.
At Fast Chronos the frequency Input 1 has to be connected at I/O 1 and I/O 2, the frequency input 2 has to
be connected at I/O 5 and I/O 6.
