Detailed explanation of functional features
1. Dual output flexible configuration
The core advantage of PN2515 lies in its flexibility in output configuration:
-
OUT1Fixed as a switch output, supports normally open/normally closed function, and can set switch points and hysteresis values
-
OUT2Three modes can be configured through software:
-
Analog output mode4-20mA or 0-10V analog signal, adjustable range
-
IO Link modeSupport IO Link v1.1 communication protocol to achieve parameter setting, diagnosis, and process data transmission
-
Second switch outputUnder certain configurations, it can be used as a second switch point
