Due to the limited number of parameters of a maximum of 244 bytes per ET 200SP station with a PROFIBUS GSD
configuration, the parameter assignment options are restricted. If required, you can still assign these parameters using
the data record 128 as describe
d in the column "GSD file PROFINET IO" (see table above). The parameter length of the
Valve control is a special function of normal operation.

You can use the "Potential group" parameter to specify whether the module is inserted in a
light-colored or dark-colored BaseUnit.
A potential group always starts with an I/O module that is inserted on a light-colored
BaseUnit. All modules inserted to the right of this on dark-colored BaseUnits belong to the
same potential group, because the dark-colored BaseUnits are supplied via the light-colored
BaseUnits.
The potential group ends with a new light-colored BaseUnit or the end of the station.
Holding time valve control
Specifies the time which must expire before the pulse width modulated output signal is
output in the next possible data cycle.
See section Normal operation/Valve control (Page 18).
Pulse width modulation duty factor
Specifies the pulse/pause duty factor for the activated pulse width modulation with valve
control.
See section Normal operation/Valve control (Page 18).
Pulse width modulation time period
Specifies the frequency of the pulse width modulation.
See section Normal operation/Valve control (Page 18) and section Pulse width modulation
(Page 19).
Substitute value duty factor
Specifies the pulse/pause duty factor of the pulse width modulation if there is a CPU STOP.

Normal operation/Valve control
Normal operation
"Normal operation" refers to the function of the DQ 4×24VDC/2A HS as digital output
module.
Valve control is a special function of normal operation.
You use valve control to switch to a smaller "holding current" after tightening the valve
(locked-rotor current). You do this by activating a pulse width modulation (see section Pulse
width modulation (Page 19)).
With a 0 → 1 transition of the digital channel, the configured holding time is started. After it
has expired, the pulse/pause duty factor is activated as pulse width modulation. The
actuating signal is output digitally as a pulse sequence of on and off pulses.
You configure valve control with the following parameters:
● "Normal operation" operating mode
● Holding time valve control
● Pulse width modulation duty factor
● Pulse width modulation time period
The figure below shows the chronological sequence for valve control. The pulse width
modulation is activated in the next possible data cycle.

"Pulse width modulation time period" parameter
You use the "Pulse width modulation time period" parameter to specify the frequency of the
pulse width modulation activated for valve control (see section Pulse width modulation
(Page 19)).
Note: When this is parameter is set to "Off", the DQ 4×24VDC/2A HS is in normal operation
without valve control.
"Pulse width modulation duty factor" parameter
You use the "Pulse width modulation duty factor" parameter (0 to 1000) to specify the
pulse/pause duty factor of the activated pulse width modulation within the configured time
period.
Note: Unlike in the "Pulse width modulation" operating mode, the duty factor cannot be
updated cyclically depending on the output value from the user program in normal operation
with valve control.
See the information on derating of the module in the section Derating of the
DQ 4x24VDC/2A HS (Page 36).
Pulse width modulation
Function
You can operate the module in the "Pulse width modulation" operating mode. In this
operating mode, the four outputs only provide a pulse-width modulated output signal.
The digital channel is activated with a pulse/pause duty factor that is updated cyclically
depending on the output value from the user program. The actuating signal is output digitally
as a pulse sequence of on and off pulses.
Time period T; frequency of the pulse width modulation: f = 1/T

Digital output module DQ 4x24VDC/2A HS (6ES7132-6BD20-0DA0)

You configure the pulse width modulation with the following parameters:
● "Pulse width modulation" operating mode
● Pulse width modulation time period
● Substitute value duty factor
● Diagnostics: Overflow
The output value (0 to 1000) is written from the user program to the output word of the
channel. The module maps this value by means of the output characteristic and the values
for minimum pulse duration and minimum pulse pause to the configured time period and thus
determines the pulse/pause duty factor (the pulse duration) of the pulse width modulation.

The minimum pulse duration and the minimum pulse pause are at least 2 μs each, which
means:
● Any pulse duration that is shorter than the minimum pulse duration will be suppressed
● Any pulse duration that is longer than the time period minus minimum pulse duration is
reduced to 100% (≙ output value 1000)

The following values apply when determining the pulse/pause duty factor of the pulse width
modulation:
Table 4- 2 Determining the pulse/pause duty factor of the pulse width modulation
Output value in the user
program (‰)
Pulse/pause duty factor at
output terminal DQn (‰)
When you configure a channel with 5000 Hz (≙ 200 μs) and the user program writes the
value 3 to the output word of the channel, this value is converted to 0 by the module: The
channel is permanently 0.
"Diagnostics: Overflow" parameter
You use the "Diagnostics: Overflow" parameter to enable the diagnostics if the permitted
value range of the duty factor is exceeded, which means an output value > 1000 from the
user program is written to the output word of the channel.
"Substitute value duty factor" parameter
You use the "Substitute value duty factor" parameter (0 to 1000) to specify the pulse/pause
duty factor of the pulse width modulation in the case of a CPU STOP.
See the information on derating of the module in the section Derating of the
DQ 4x24VDC/2A HS (Page 36).

Oversampling is the output of data in constant bus cycle segments (sub-cycles), whereby n
sub-cycles correspond to one PROFINET bus cycle. A data packet is transmitted from the
controller to the module, which outputs the packet in n constant bus sub-cycles.
Oversampling is useful whenever you require output of data with high time resolution but
without using an extremely short PROFINET bus cycle and thus fast CPU cycles.
With oversampling, a PROFINET bus cycle is divided into constant bus sub-cycles:
● Each sub-cycle returns a 4-bit output value.
● A sub-cycle is at least 100 μs long.
● Sub-cycles are possible in increments of 2 to 32 (only even numbers). The following
applies here: Isochronous data cycle / number of sub-cycles ≥ permitted sub-cycle
duration (100 μs).
Oversampling is only possible when isochronous mode is set.
You configure oversampling with the following parameters:
● "Oversampling" operating mode
● Output rate
Note
Do not use a reduction ratio for blocks in the case of configuration with oversampling in the
runtime groups of your user program. Make sure that the output of data in the module is
synchronized wi
th the user program of the CPU.

Value status (quality information, QI)
The value status is always activated for the following module names in the GSD file:
● DQ 4×24VDC/2A HS (...)
Evaluating the value status
An additional byte is allocated in the input address space if you enable the value status for
the digital module. Bits 0 to 3 in this byte are each assigned to one channel. They provide
information about the validity of the digital value.
● Bit =1: No fault is present on the channel.
● Bit =0: Channel is disabled or there is a fault/error on the module.
If an error on a channel occurs with this module, the value status for all channels is 0.

The channels 0 and 1 or 2 and 3 each form a load group. Within a load group, a short-circuit can have an effect on the
adjacent channel. The load groups do not have an effect on each other in the case of a short-circuit.
If the short-circuit persists, the module heats up. This may trigger temperature monitoring with overtemperature

Maximum permitted output current depending on the ambient temperature
In addition to the dependency of the maximum permitted output current on the frequency,
you also have to take into consideration the dependency on the ambient temperature.
Depending on the configured module operating mode, there is an additional "DQ" or "PWM"
derating. The table below shows the dependencies of derating version and module operating
mode:

Parameter assignment and structure of the parameter data record
Parameter assignment in the user program
The module parameter settings can be changed in RUN. The time period of selected
channels can, for example, be changed in RUN in the "Pulse width modulation" operating
mode without having an effect on the other channels.
Changing parameters in RUN
The "WRREC" instruction is used to transfer the parameters to the module using data record
128. The parameters set in STEP 7 are not changed in the CPU, which means the
parameters set in STEP 7 are valid again after a restart.
Note
Changing parameters in RUN
A parameter data record that has content
different from the startup parameter assignment
can result in a brief exit from clocked mode and renewed synchronization with the fieldbus
cycle.
The module ignores errors that occur during the transfer of parameters with the "WRREC"
instruction and continues operation with the previous parameter assignment. The STATUS
output parameter contains a corresponding error code.
The description of the "WRREC" instruction and the error codes is available in the STEP 7
online help.
