System Operation and Configuration Chapter 4
• Communication Fault Mode - when network communication is lost or an
error occurs
• Com
munication Idle Mode - when a network scanner changes to Idle
mode
or a PLC changes to Program mode
The default setting for these three modes is to Open/de-energize all E300 output
relays that
are assigned as a Normal/General Purpose Relay or Control/Control
& Trip Relay.
The E300 output relay states when assigned as a Normal/General Purpose Relay
or Control/Control & Trip Relay follow this priority order:
Table 57 - Output Relay Priority
Output Relay Protection Fault Modes
When the E300 relay has a trip event, you can configure the E300 output relays
to go to a specific state (Open or Closed) or ignore the trip event and continue to
operate as normal. The parameters that are listed on the following pages
configure the Protection Fault Mode for each E300 output relay.
Output Relay 0 Protection Fault Action (Parameter 304)
Output Relay 0 Protection Fault Action (Parameter 304) defines how Output
Relay 0 when assigned as a Normal/General Purpose Relay responds when a trip
event occurs.
Table 58 - Output Relay 0 Protection Fault Action (Parameter 304)
Output Relay 0 Protection Fault Value (Parameter 305)
Output Relay 0 Protection Fault Value (Parameter 305) defines which state
Output Relay 0 should go to when a trip event occurs.
It is important that you fully understand the use of these parameters and the
order of their priority under the conditions of a protection trip, communication
fault, and communication idle event.
