Description
Control
External
The relay output is controlled remotely either through software or by a PLC using commands sent through communications.
Alarm
The relay output is associated with the alarm system. The meter sends a pulse to the relay output port when the alarm is triggered.
Behaviour
Normal
This mode applies when control mode is set to External or Alarm. In the event of trigger for External mode, the relay output remains in the closed state until an open command is sent by the computer or PLC. In the event of trigger for Alarm mode, the relay output remains in the closed state until the drop out point is crossed.
Timed
-
Time(s): 1 to 9999
The relay output remains ON for the period defined by the on-time setup register.
Coil
This mode applies when control mode is set to External or Alarm. The output turns on when the “energize” command is received and turns off when the “coil hold release” command is received. In the event of a control power loss, the output remembers and returns to the state it was in when control power was lost.
