will be output evenly over the pulse output update time which is configured in the module. For
example, assume that module receives a pulse input update message from the remote module, and
the difference between the pulse input count and the pulse output count is 12 pulses. The will then
output the 12 pulses evenly over the next minute (if the pulse output update time is 1 minute).
The default values for the pulse input update time and pulse output update time is 1 minute. In this
case, the output pulses are effectively 1 minute behind the input pulses. These update times may be
changed by the user. The pulse output update time should not be set to be more than the pulse input
update time. Note that the maximum pulse rate for both inputs and outputs is 100Hz.

As well as accumulating the pulse input, the module will also calculate the rate of pulses.
Pulse rates are treated as an “internal” analogue input and are configured with analogue sensitivities
for change-of-state transmissions. The maximum pulse rate corresponding to 20mA output may be
configured by the user.
3.1.3 Analogue Set-points
On -1 modules, the “AI 1” input may be used to trigger the analogue set-point status. High set
point and low set point levels are configurable. This set-point status turns ON when the analogue
input moves below the low level, and turns OFF when it moves above the high level. The high level
must always be greater than, or equal to, the low level set point. This set-point status may be
mapped (inverted, if required) to any output in the network. The set-point status is effectively an
internal digital input.
On -2 modules, each analogue input has set-point values for controlling digital outputs. The set-
point operation works as for the -1 module.
