FAULT Output
The STR2 features a digital FAULT output. This output closes to
signal a fault condition.
This output can be used to drive LEDs, relays and the inputs of
other electronic devices like PLCs. The “+” (collector) and “-” (emitter) terminals of the output
transistor are available at the connector. This allows you to configure the output for current
sourcing or sinking.
Diagrams of each type of connection follow.
Do not connect the output to more than 30VDC.
The current through the output terminal must not exceed 80 mA.
