4.3.5 Relay output / digital output - X3
Location Connector X3, pins 4 (+) & 5 (-)
Name General purpose relay
Mint keyword RELAY / OUTX.3
Description Relay switch contacts controlled by Mint, rated at 1A,
30VDC.
Update intervals:
Immediate
: Software (Mint programs)
LOOPTIME
(default 1ms): DRIVEENABLEOUTPUT,
DRIVEOKOUTPUT and GLOBALERROROUTPUT
functions. Outputs controlled by functions MOVEOUT,
MOVEOUTX, MOVEPULSEOUTX, PULSEOUTX.
Programmable
: PLC Task functions
The factory preset assignment for the relay is as the global error output signal
(see the Mint keyword GLOBALERROROUTPUT). When an error occurs the relay
is de-energized and the contacts open. When the error is cleared, the relay is
re-energized and the contacts close. The relay can be also be controlled
directly by the Mint keyword RELAY. When the relay is energized (RELAY=_on)
the contacts close. When the relay is de-energized (RELAY=_off) the contacts
open. The relay output may also be considered as a digital output, so can be
controlled directly using the Mint keyword OUTX (for example OUTX.3=1).

Note: The internal relay has a limited lifetime and is not intended for continuous cyclical
operation. If relay operations are required more frequently than 4 - 5 times per
hour, it is recommended to use one of the digital outputs to control a replaceable
external relay.
