1. Introduction

This manual describes the specific features of the MicroARM-A12 (SAV1288 card).
For information common to programming, see the “MicroLADDER manual”. To visualize better the corresponding addresses in MicroLADDER, they appear in color, on the sides of the diagrams.

3. Connections

3.1 Digital

3.1.1 Digital input

% I100 to% I103 are digital inputs. The input must be connected to + 24 to mount the
input to 1.

3.1.2 Digital output

% QW100 and% QW101 are PWM-to-transistor outputs. The load must be connected
between the output and the mass.
% Q100 and% Q101 are 2 potential free relay outputs, but there is a common contact to both outputs. Maximum 250 V – 2 A. The 2 A can be used at the same time on both
outputs.
% Q102 and% Q103 are 2 potential free relay outputs. Maximum 160 V – 4 A.
