5.6 Digital Outputs
There are 3 Digital Outputs: 1 open collector and 2 relays.
5.6.1 Open collector Digital Output
The open collector output is located on the Input/Output connector, which stands beside the power supply connector.

Table 15: Open collector Digital Output specification
This Digital Output is activated by an open collector transistor driven by an optocoupler. The maximum current flow into this transistor has a characteristic above the value specified in the eWON®, in order to cope with the switching power losses. The transistor used is of open collector type with pre drive. This means the relay power supply has to be supplied from an external source to the pre drive electronics.
The diagram below shows the external wiring needed for correct operation of the Digital Output. A relay has been chosen for this sample application but any load within the specifications can be used instead.
Warning: note that this is a sink only output to ground (the transistor acts like a switch to ground).
