Description
The FP-PWM-520 is an 8-channel PWM Output Module, designed for use with the FieldPoint control and monitoring system. This module, with part number 18571.5 (777518-520), falls under the FieldPoint category and is identified by the model FP-PWM-520. It is specified for applications requiring precise control over PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) outputs but is noted as “Not for New Design”, indicating it may be phased out or replaced in newer applications.
Each of the 8 PWM output channels supports an output period configuration ranging from 1 ms to 65535 ms in 1-millisecond increments, allowing for extensive flexibility in timing adjustments. The power supply output source for this module can be either 5 VDC or 10-30 VDC, accommodating various power requirements. Installation flexibility is also a key feature, as it mounts on the FP-TB-x (FieldPoint terminal base) and can be added or removed from a live system, facilitating easy maintenance and upgrades without significant system downtime.
The module boasts optical isolation from the FieldPoint bank, enhancing system protection and reliability. Additionally, it includes short-circuit protection gear, further safeguarding the module and connected devices from potential damage. Channel resetting can be conveniently managed through FieldPoint software, simplifying troubleshooting and configuration adjustments.
The leakage current in the OFF state is kept to a minimum, minimizing waste and ensuring efficient operation. The duty cycle is adjustable from 0% to 100% per channel, offering complete control over the signal’s on-time versus off-time ratio. With a maximum output current of 1 A per output, this module can drive a wide range of devices. The terminal configuration includes 8 PWM output, 16 COM, and 8 Vsup terminals, providing ample connectivity for various application needs.
