Abstract

An output module (200) includes multiple outputs (202), each output having switches (204, 208), wherein the switches (204, 208) are configured such that a load (212) is connectable between the switches (204, 208), and a calibration unit (220) configured to disconnect the load (212) from the switches (204, 208) for a calibration period, monitor a behavior of the load (212) while disconnected, and store samples of the behavior of the load (212). Further aspects of the present disclosure relate to a control system (100) and a method (300) for testing an output module (200) connected to a complexload (212).

Description

technical field [0001] Aspects of the present disclosure relate generally to industrial and other automation systems, and more particularly to output modules, control systems, and methods for testing output modules connected to complex loads. Background technique [0002] Industrial automation systems are used in different industrial fields to automate several tasks, such as those in a manufacturing process or an assembly line in a production facility. Industrial automation systems include multiple interconnected components such as, for example, sensors, actuators, and control devices. The control device may be, for example, a programmable logic controller (PLC) for controlling and monitoring process parameters. [0003] Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are used to monitor input signals from various input points (input sensors) that report events and conditions occurring in the controlled process. Control programs are stored in the PLC's memory to instruct the PLC wha...
