Issue
Unable to control the field device with a Triac output.
Product Line
EcoStruxure Building Operation, Andover Continuum
Environment
- Continuum b3 Controllers
- Continuum i2 Controllers
- Building Operation Multi-purpose Controllers with Triacs
Cause
- Triac outputs cannot switch DC loads.
- Triac outputs require a minimum 30 mA load in order to switch.
Resolution
If the inductive load draws less than 30mA a resistor needs to be wired in parallel with the switched load.
