This example shows you how to use our powerful digital outputs and relays. The CONTROLLINO PLCs have “High-Side Switch” outputs, “Half-Bridge” outputs (only MEGA) and potential free relay outputs. Some of these outputs are also capable of generating PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signals. Therefore it is possible to dim a lamp or to control the speed of a DC motor.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION!
Please, select proper target board in Tools->Board->Controllino MINI/MAXI/MEGA before Upload to your CONTROLLINO.
(Please, refer to https://github.com/CONTROLLINO-PLC/CONTROLLINO_Library if you do not see the CONTROLLINOs in the Arduino IDE menu Tools->Board.)
Note*
Pin header is working on 5V TTL levels. Voltage levels over 5.5V can damage the Controllino permanently.
In case of the Controllino MINI, the relays are connected parallelly to the digital outputs D0-D5 and thus are named D0-D5.
