Description
The Compact FieldPoint module, identified by part number 185715B-02 (777318-520), is a specialized component designed for precise control in various applications. Known as the cFP-PWM-520, this module is specifically crafted to serve as a Pulse Width Modulation Output Module. Its core functionality revolves around controlling the power of DC-powered instruments. This is achieved through the adjustment of the duty cycle, allowing for fine-tuned operation in critical environments.
This module finds common uses in a variety of settings, including the control of DC servo motor speed, modulation of industrial heater heat output, and the adjustment of light bulb intensity. It is equipped with onboard diagnostics, ensuring reliable performance and ease of maintenance. Compatibility is a key factor in the design of the cFP-PWM-520, with support for both cFP-BP-x and cFP-180x backplanes, providing flexibility in system integration.
Despite lacking channel-to-channel isolation, the module boasts optical bank isolation with a robust 2,300 VRMS breakdown isolation, ensuring safe operation and system integrity. The feature of being hot swappable enhances its user-friendliness, allowing maintenance or upgrades without the need to power down the entire system. With eight PWM sourcing output channels, the module is capable of handling multiple tasks simultaneously.
Operational status is easily monitored through on/off LED indicators, providing at-a-glance verification of the module’s activity. Safety features such as short-circuit protection are integral to the design, safeguarding both the module and connected components from potential damage. The module supports an output frequency of up to 1 kHz, coupled with a versatile duty cycle range starting from 0%, enabling precise control over connected devices.
