Protection mode
The input stage configuration (switch) is automatically modified when the module
enters in protection mode. The input values of the others channels could be out of
the specified tolerances when a channel is in protection mode.
The modules from version ‘A2’ have an automatic reconfiguration mechanism
after the active protection has become active. Once triggered, the input will remain
for 10 seconds in protection mode. After 10 seconds, the input will switch back to
normal operating configuration. If the input is still in overload condition, protection
will again be activated. This feature is available only with firmware version greater
than 1.24.10.
For Modules with version ‘A’ or ‘A1’ the protection will also be activated when an
overload occurs, but to switch back to normal operation mode the PCD has to be
restarted.

LED signalization
One red LED is placed near the channel 0. The LED is enabled when an error oc-
curs on the module. This is a general indication and the details of the error must
be read in the specific register of the module.
The signaled errors are:
■ Configuration error:
The desired inputs configuration is not applied cor
-
rectly.
■
ADC-Fehler:
A/D converter doesn’t respond.
■
Calibration error:
Module not calibrated.
■
Protection mode:
An input channel has been automatically put in pro-
tection mode, because the module detects a situation
which can cause important damages to hardware.
