10.6.1.2 Output
type
The parameter
"Output type"
defines the function of the transistor output. NPN,
PNP or PP (push-pull) output types are available. The push-pull type combines
NPN and PNP and is therefore the best choice for most circuits. All outputs are
short circuit and overload protected.
10.6.1.3 Switching
function
The
"switching function"
defines the mode of operation of the outputs. In the default
setting "normally open", the output becomes active (switched) when the measured
value exceeds the switching threshold. This feature is also referred to as N.O.
In the
"Normally closed"
setting, the output below the switching threshold is already
active and is deactivated when the measured value exceeds the switching
threshold. This function is also referred to as N.C.
10.6.1.4 Threshold
Threshold for limit value function and upper window point for window function.
10.6.1.5 Lower
threshold
The "lower threshold" defines the lower limit when using the window function. When
using the limit value function, this parameter remains ineffective.
The switching thresholds can be set both positive and negative.
10.6.1.6 Hysteresis
The appropriate setting of the "hysteresis" parameter ensures that the switching
outputs do not switch on and off continuously when the current measured value
fluctuates around the switching threshold. The hysteresis value should therefore
always be greater than the real measured value fluctuations. As a result, a targeted
suppression can be achieved.
