INFORMATION
INFORMATION
Reading the device status, different to reading the status word, does not reset the registers ERR and INH or
TRP. If the output voltage has been permanently switched off by exceeding V
max
or I
max
or by INHIBIT (at
ENABLE KILL) or the programmed current trip, the output voltage cannot be reset after reading the device
status.
7.4. Auto start
Description
Bit
Valency
If the precondition for Auto start (module status: OFF + ERR + INH + MAN = 0) is satisfied, the
output voltage is automatically ramped to the set voltage. Thus the G-command or POWER-ON
and OFF
➜
ON are not required.
If output voltage has been shut off permanently (by ERR or INH at ENABLE KILL or TRP), the
previous voltage setting will be restored with software ramp after ”Read status word”.
