Description
The Part Number 185715B-01 represents a FieldPoint module known as FP-PWM-520. This module is categorized under the FieldPoint series and is specifically designed to facilitate 8-Ch. PWM Output Module (Not for New Design). It is equipped with 8 pulse-width modulation sourcing output channels, allowing for a wide range of applications.
The Output Period Configuration of the FP-PWM-520 is quite versatile, ranging from 1 millisecond to 65535 milliseconds, adjustable in 1-millisecond increments. This flexibility ensures that users can tune the output to meet their specific requirements. The module requires a user-provided power supply, which can either be 5 VDC or 10-30 VDC, offering some flexibility in terms of power sourcing.
Mounting of the module is facilitated via FP-TB-x (FieldPoint terminal base), and it boasts a convenient feature where it can be added or removed from a live system, enhancing system flexibility and reducing downtime for modifications or maintenance. The module also features optical isolation from the remaining FieldPoint bank, ensuring enhanced protection and reliability of the system.
In terms of safety, the FP-PWM-520 includes special gear for short-circuit protection, safeguarding the module and the system it is part of from potential damage. The module’s reset method is straightforward, being performed through FieldPoint software, which simplifies troubleshooting and system management. Additionally, the module exhibits minimal leakage current in the OFF state, contributing to its efficient operation.
The duty cycle range of the module is impressively wide, spanning from 0% to 100%, which allows for precise control over the output signal. Lastly, the maximum output current capability of the FP-PWM-520 is 1 A per channel, accommodating a broad scope of applications where moderate current driving capacity is required.
