Power output control
9.2.1
Half-wave control
Half-wave control can be parameterized for activating the heating elements. This
parameterization is performed for each POM and applies to all channels of the POM.
Principle of half-wave control
The power outputs are controlled in half-waves: For each half-wave, the controller supplies
On/Off information to the triac and this switches as specified.

Half-wave control example: 33% and 66 %
The setpoints for controlling the power outputs lie within a value range of 0 % to 100 %
(reference value: 100 half-waves).
Depending on the specified setpoint, the power outputs are controlled with an equal number
of positive and negative half-waves (reference value: 200 half-waves).
To avoid excessively high inrush currents, the power outputs are switched on time-delayed.
SeeSwitch on heating (Page 76).
