Abstract: A method for operating an output module having an output circuit by which a voltage resulting in a current is connected to a load connected to an output, wherein a first driver module is operated and activated via a first control input to connect a voltage to the output, a second driver module is operated in parallel with the first driver module and activated via a second control input to also connect a voltage to the output, at a start time a control circuit receives a switching command for switching the voltage to the output, and wherein the control circuit initially starts by reciprocally activating the first and second control inputs respectively for a first time period, and wherein during this reciprocal activation, the first and second driver modules conduct the current for each respective duration of first and second activation periods.

Abstract: A method for operating an output subassembly in which a first driver module is operated between a power supply connection on the output subassembly, and an output and is actuated via a first control input to connect the voltage to the output, wherein a second driver module is operated in parallel with the first driver module and is actuated, via a second control input, to connect a voltage to an output, where at an initial time a control circuit receives a command to switch the voltage to the output and the control circuit thereupon initially actuates the second control input for a predefined first length of time, so that the second driver module is operated with current limitation up to a maximum current and, after a predefined second length of time, measured from the initial time, the control circuit actuates the first control input when the command is in effect.
