Logic Contorl Input and Output |
LOGIC IN: |
A rear-panel opto-isolated input that is activated at an input current greater than approximately 1mA. User can set LOGIC IN (via the keyboard) to enable the output, disable the output, or be ignored when it is activated |
LOGIC OUT: |
An isolated rear-panel open-collector output that will sink up to 2mA when activated (‘switch closure’); the maximum voltage that can be applied to LOGIC OUT is 30VDC. User can set LOGIC OUT to be ‘closed’ or ‘open’ for output enabled or disabled, current limit (CI mode),power limit (UNREG mode), or for any fault trip. |
