EPM-T830 (8*dig. I/O compact module, 3 wires)
EPM-T831 (16*dig. I/O compact module 1 wire)

EPM-T833 (16*dig. I/O compact module, 3 wires)

Function description
Extension of all compact modules by index 2410h (setting of the monitoring time).
The compact modules contain a function for error evaluation in case of overload, overheating and short circuit. If this monitoring trips due to an error, the red LED 'F' (status display) at the terminal strip goes on immediately (bottom LED underneath the green LEDs for displaying the status of the digital input/output channels).
With the previous firmware version V1.0 the error must exist for at least 2 ms in order to activate the error tripping by the modules. It is not possible to parameterise the time required for this.
With firmware version 1.1 it is possible to parameterise the time required for activating a trip under index 2410h. The default setting of index 2410h is 2 ms. As a result the compatibility with existing applications is given.

Applications
This new requirement has arisen from existing applications in which contactors are switched via the digital outputs of the modules. In case of switching processes the monitoring function has tripped 'too early'. By adjusting the monitoring time under index 2410h to the application it can now be avoided that the error monitoring trips 'too early'.
