5.2.1Switching functions
The switching outputs can be configured via the switching functions. The switching logic of the switching outputs can be configured as normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC). The switching mode of
the switching outputs can be set as threshold value or window comparator.
14Festo — OVEM — 2019-03g
Product overview
With active air saving function, the switching mode is set as the threshold value comparator by switching output A.
Threshold value comparatorNormally open (NO)Normally closed (NC)
Switching function:
–1 switching point (SP1)
TEACH mode1):
–2 teach points (TP1, TP2)
–SP1 = ½ (TP1+TP2)
1) TP1 = minimum pressure value, TP2 = maximum pressure value, independent of the Teach sequence
