Soft starting function
Operating principle
Soft starting can be parameterized for activating the channels in order to control loads with a
high inrush current. This paramaterization is performed for each POM and applies to all
channels of the POM. Soft starting means that when switched on, the channels are
controlled with a fixed number of half waves with leading-edge phasing before half-wave
mode is activated. Soft starting is performed with a fixed number of phased-in half-waves.

warmed up very quickly. The time required for one channel is about 100 ms.
2
Slower version of the soft start that ensures the heating element is not undu-
ly loaded. The time required for one channel is about two seconds.
