control. It is designed for rail mounting type: DIN EN 50022.
The unit supplies a variable current in proportion to the reference signal
and independently of temperature variations or load impedance.
The PWM stage on the solenoid power supply allows the reduction of

determined by the card version).

In general a conservative value of the required power can be
considered as the product of V x I.
