DO module: Detecting open load

Post by aharrah »

The page describing the I/O modules mentions:
Each output can additionally be configured to detect open load conditions when in high side switch mode and send an alarm to RevPi Core.
How do I read or get notified of the alarm when there is an open load condition?

Thanks,
Andy

Hi aharrah,
you have to read out the variable "OutputOpenLoadDetect", i.e. by "piTest -r <variable>".
Have a look at this tutorial How to Configure Digital I/O Modules

That page had some good information on it.

After configuring OutputOpenLoadDetection how do I check to see if there is an open load on an output?

In digging a little bit I did come across this page: https://revolution.kunbus.com/tutorials ... iguration/ which includes the following:
OutputOpenLoadDetection has not yet been put into practice.
Is this a still a true statement?

Thanks,
Andy
