PR181 module in DIN rail enclosure, front three-quarter view

Digital input to PWM signal conditioner, high-side switched, with display

Article number PR181-X061

The PR181-X061 uses one 12 V digital input to drive a high-side switched PWM output of up to 1 A. When the input is active, the output gets the duty cycle set on the display; when the input is not active, the output is at 0 %. With the adjustable rise and fall rate, the output ramps up and down smoothly. As delivered, the duty cycle is set to 0 %.

Supply 9 to 30 V DC
Input 12 V digital input on terminal 3, 13 V max.
Output PWM, high-side switched, on terminal 6; duty cycle with active input adjustable

Setup

Connect the module according to the terminal table, with the supply plus on terminal 1 and terminal 7, and switch on the supply.
In the menu, select Input 1 PWM out and use UP and DOWN to set the duty cycle the output gets when the input is active. Confirm with OK.
If required, set the rise and fall rate with Ramp up and Ramp down, and the PWM frequency with PWM frequency.
Go to the SAVE menu to store the new settings.

Application

Driving motors, pumps, valves and hydraulics smoothly with the adjustable rise and fall rate

PR181 series: signal conditioners with display

The modules in the PR181 series are set up on the display on the module, using the UP, DOWN and OK buttons. On most versions the lower and upper limits of input and output are set independently, as is the rise and fall rate of the output; the settings of each module are listed on the product page under Setup. With an adjustable rise and fall rate, motors, pumps, valves and hydraulics can be driven smoothly. On versions with an analogue output, that output is galvanically isolated from input and supply to prevent ground loops. New settings are stored through the SAVE menu. The standard DIN rail enclosure measures 45 x 83 mm (board 42.6 x 72 mm); versions with more terminals are wider. Most modules run on 9 to 30 V DC at -25 to 55 °C, non-condensing.

For some conversions there is also a version without display and without galvanic isolation in the PR100 series: it is set up with push buttons and runs on 12 and 24 V DC (operating range 11 to 30 V DC). Where one exists, it is listed on the product page under Other version.
