Abstract
An output module includes multiple outputs, each output having switches, wherein the switches are configured such that a load is connectable between the switches, and a calibration unit configured to disconnect the load from the switches for a calibration period, monitor a behavior of the load while disconnected, and store samples of the behavior of the load. Further aspects of the present disclosure relate to a control system and a method for testing an output module connected to a complex load.
