This page describes how the outputs OUT05, OUT06, OUT07 and OUT08 can be used in the POWER-S.
These outputs can be used as static outputs as well as dynamic. the parameter 'Mode' set How the output is used.
The protection profile apply only to the HS outputs. The only protection available for LS outputs is for shorts-circuits.

1-Static output

To correctly use the output, we must set a various number of parameters and connect mnemonics.

1.1-Parameters

Parameters, for each output, are classified in different categories :

Category	parameter	Description
General	'Current FeedBack'	Must be checked if the user want a feedback of the current in the output.
	'Mode'	Set the operating mode of the output : dynamic or static.
	'Load Type'	Configure the type of load connected to the ECU output
	'Recurr. Period: OUT_CMD'	Set the recurrence time of the Frame 'OUT_CMD' sent by the master ECU to command the slave's outputs. This parameter is common for all the outputs of the POWER ECU.
	'Recurr. Period: OUT_I'	If the option 'Current Feedback' is checked, we must set the recurrence time of the frame 'OUT_I' sent by the POWER to inform about the value of current in its outputs. This parameter is common for all the outputs OUT01, OUT02, OUT03, OUT04, OUT05, OUT06, OUT07, OUT08, OUT19, OUT20, BRIDGE1 and BRIDGE2.
Degraded Mode	'Degraded Mode'	To use or not this output in degraded mode
	'1s cycle'	Configure the state of the output in the first cycle of degraded mode (On/Off)
	'2nd cycle'	Configure the state of the output in the second cycle of degraded mode (On/Off)
Protection Profile	'Auto Calculate'	if this option is checked ,the protection profile parameters values are automatically calculated by ActiGRAF with the Nominal Load.
	'OC_Range', 'OC_MThld','OC_HThld', 'OC_NThld' et OC_Time	These parameters are used to obtain the protection profile, we have two profiles : i-Protection Profile For lamps ii-Protection Profile For motors
Diagnostic	'Authorize MasterMode'	If this option is checked, the output can be controlled in Master mode during a diagnostic session

i- Protection Profile For lamps

This profile will be used if the load attached to the output is one of these types : 'Bulb Load' or 'Resistive Load'. The protection profile for bulb is activated once when the output is turned ON. The output is immediately switched OFF when the current cross up the profile. This profile is described in the graphic below. this graphic is made using the previously cited five parameters.

ii-Protection Profile For motors

As well as for Lamps, except this profile is applied when the load attached is "Motion Motor Load" or "Fan Motor Load". The following graphic describe the behaviour in the motor case :

1.2-Mnemonics

The mnemonics names for Powers ECU IO must applies a set of rules more details.

To activate and use an output,command values must be sent (ON/Off, duty cycle,current ...). This is done by connecting the mnemonics (presenting physical entities of the outputs) to their correspondent variable (functional outputs entities) declared and used in the EA application.
Bellow a description of each mnemonic and its use in the output :

Mnemonic	STraToN Type	Description
'Output_Boo'	BOOL	this is the logical command of the output (activated or not). If this mnemonic is not used (connected) the output is not used.
'Fault'	BOOL	This mnemonic is used to retrieve a default on the output, in this case the variable connected to it will take the Boolean 'TRUE'
'Fault_type'	BOOL	In the case of a default, the variable connected to this mnemonic will indicate the type of default: 0 : short circuit fault. 1 : open circuit fault.
'Current'	WORD	This mnemonic will only be available if 'current Feedback' is selected. Variable connected to this mnemonic will contain the value of current applied to the output. The current measurement unit is 1 mA.
'Equipment'	BOOL	The usage of the variables of default is not active while the variable connected to this mnemonic has its value to 'False' ( more details ).

2-Dynamic Outputs

If the output is used in dynamic mode,we have three more parameters to configure in the 'General' category. And one more mnemonic. Parameters and mnemonics of the static mode are used here,you can find there description above.

2.1-Parameters

Category	parameter	Description
General	'Frequency range'	The output can operate on two different frequency ranges, this parameter determines the range to use 'High' or 'Low'.
	'Frequency'	This parameter determines the frequency for the output, the range of possible values is determined by the previous parameter 'frequency range'. For low range value go from 60 to 500 Hz with a step of 10Hz. For high range value go from 550 to 1000 Hz with a step of 50Hz.
	'Recurr. Period: OUT_DC'	Since the output is dynamic, so the value of duty cycle must be indicated to command it. This setting controls the frequency of sending the value of duty cycle. Since the frame is shared by several outputs this parameter is common to all dynamic outputs (other than OUT01, OUT02, OUT03 OUT04 and).

2.2-Mnemonic

The mnemonics names for Powers ECU IO must applies a set of rules more details.

For an output in dynamic mode, dynamic control is necessary to activate it. Below the description of the mnemonic added in dynamic mode :

Mnemonic	STraToN Type	Description
'Output_Dyn'	WORD	This mnemonic must be connected to the variable STraToN containing the value of duty cycle.
