1.4 Warranty
The manufacturer does not assume any responsibility for the products being fit for any particular
purpose, unless otherwise expressly stated in writing by the manufacturer.
The manufacturer gives the warranty of twelve (12) months to the products and thereto related
firmware from commissioning or eighteen (18) months from the date of delivery of the products
which ever occurs first.
The manufacturer is during the warranty period responsible for defects in the products and
thereto related firmware resulting from faults in material, design or workmanship. The
manufacturer’s only obligation under this warranty is to, at its sole discretion, either to replace
the products and/or thereto related firmware or to repair the defective products. The

The manufacturer gives no other warranties whatsoever for the products than the warranty set
out in this section and thus the warranty given in this section sets forth the warranty given by the
manufacturer in its entirety.
1.5 Limited Liability
The manufacturer shall under no circumstances be liable for loss of production, loss of profit,
loss of use or any other consequential damages and/or indirect losses, whatever their cause
may be. In case claims based on product liability are brought against the Manufacturer for which
claims the manufacturer may be liable, the manufacturer’s liability is limited to the extent
normally covered under normal product liability insurances.
The buyer shall compensate the manufacturer to the extent that the manufacturer might be
liable to pay damages as a result of claims based on product liability according to paragraph
above.
1.6 Environmental Statement
The manufacturer uses ISO14001 environmental certified processes and materials to
manufacture products. The manufacturer undertakes to arrange for the recycling and scrapping
of the products that are returned to the manufacturer by the buyer and/or the products that are
received by the Manufacturer in connection with maintenance services performed as a result of
that repairing of the products is deemed by the manufacturer to be inappropriate.
The manufacturer will charge a scrapping fee from the buyer according to the manufacturer's
price list in force from time to time. No scrapping fee will, however, be charged for products that

4.2 Configurable I/Os
Control unit contains inputs and outputs or, in other words, I/O pins of many different types.
There are, for example, outputs which source current and outputs which sink current.
Furthermore, there are I/O pins which can be used as inputs or as outputs at the control of the
application programmer.

4.3.1 PWM/DO/DI_Type005
Output (PWM/DO)
•This kind of pin is a current sourcing output with a pull-up selection
•In other words, the pin connects the load to a positive supply voltage
•When the pull-up is selected, it will affect two output pins (the pairs are indicated with upper
case characters in the pin table's Group column in section Pinout Map).
•This pull-up feature is for open load detection when the pin is used as an output.
•These outputs have a switching element called a smart FET. It has integrated features to
protect itself and also the external pin, wiring and actuator.
•These outputs are capable of generating pulse width modulated (PWM) output signals.
•When used as an output, the input feature indicates the output FET's state
Before the supply voltage can be connected to an output pin, the related power
switch must be switched on as well.
Input (DI)
•This pin can be used as a digital input (DI)
•A pin of this type can also be used as an input by using the output state monitoring feature.
•In this case, the output functionality of the pin must be kept in the off state.
•It must be taken care in system design that the output unintentionally switching to on state
causes no harm to the system.
•This pin can be used also with NPN-type sensors – sensors with open collector/open drain.

Note 1: The frequency of a (PWM) Pulse Width Modulation is = 1 / Period
Note 2: The duty cycle is defined as the percentage of digital ‘high’ to digital ‘low’ signals
present during a PWM period.
Note 3: The PWM resolution is defined as the maximum number of pulses that you can pack
into a PWM period.
Note 4: tC denotes the software cycle time.
Note 5: Current limit for short circuit protection to protect cabling and to limit internal power
dissipation.
Note 6: Exceeding the max value might cause damage to input.
Note 7: The maximum output current depends on the load, PWM frequency and temperature.
Note 8: The pulse width must be greater that the software cycle time. For example with 50/50
pulse ratio, the pulse frequency is 1 / (2*pulse width)
Note 9: When the limit is exceeded, the output voltage circuit starts to limit the current by
switching the output voltage. The switching does not effect the application software
Note 10: When the frequency increases, the actual duty cycle may be bigger than the value that
has been set.
Note 11: Overload conditions
