Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I use this module with a 5 V DC signal?
A: No. The SM 422 requires a 24 V DC load voltage. Use a level shifter for 5 V signals.
Q: What is the maximum cable length for 24 V outputs?
A: 1000 m shielded, 600 m unshielded – ensure proper grounding.
Q: How do I reset a diagnostic alarm?
A: Use the “RESET” function in STEP 7 or cycle the load voltage.
Q: Is the module hot-swappable?
A: Yes, in a redundant system with appropriate CPU support.
