Start of operation with the Hardware
Note
·
The plugs used in the former module imc CRONOS-PL-3
are described in the imc C-Series manual.
·
If pins 2 and 13 are connected via a closed two-way switch, the device remains activated throughout.
The devices' green push-button has no effect in such a case!
·
In order to turn the device off, the switch must be opened and then closed again (behavior of a push
button switch)
·
When using electronic switching elements (like FET or bipolar transistors), voltage levels and direction
of current flow has to be considered. Typical application circuits are shown below:

2.9 Potential difference with synchronized devices
When using multiple devices connected via the
SYNC plug
for synchronization purposes, ensure that all
devices are at the same voltage level. Any potential differences among devices may have to be evened
out using an additional line having adequate cross section.
Note
If the synchronized devices are at different voltage levels, they should be compensated by means of a
lead having the appropriate cross-section. If the SYNC plug at your device is equipped with a yellow ring
it is already isolated and it is protected against potential differences (concerning devices as of
summer 2012).
Alternatively it is possible to isolate the devices by using the module
ISOSYNC
, see also chapter
Synchronization in the imc STUDIO / imc DEVICES manual.
