Versatile Digital Output Soft-Device

Overview

If you cannot find a Soft-Device suitable for your digital output, you may want to choose the Versatile Digital Output Soft-Device.  For example, let's assume that you want to drive a large electric heater for an incubator in a bio-tech system.  You will probably use a solid state relay to drive the heater and employ Pulse Width Modulation (PWM).  It does not make sense to use the Relay Soft-Device because your solid state relay is non-inductive.  So, you can choose the Versatile Digital Output Soft-Device.   

Features

  • Two-wire connection
  • Soft-I/O supplies power to the actuator, up to 12 Watts!
  • You can drive the digital output with either 5 volts or 24 volts
  • You choose the state names
  • You can invert the state names
  • Flexible pin assignments
  • Non-volatile saving of settings
  • Flexible tags for remote control

In Action

You configure the Versatile Digital Output Soft-Device by giving it a name--for example "Incubator Heater" and then drag-and-drop the connections to any Soft-I/O pins.    When you have finished the Versatile Digital Output Soft-Device configuration, merely submit your choices and then test the solenoid on the Soft-Device page.  What could be simpler? 

Technical Specifications

Each Versatile Digital Output Soft-Device is connected to the Soft-I/O module with two wires—the module supplies device power, and that simplifies wiring.
