RELAY
The output relay is a relay output with a normally open contact. The relay outputs are
closed if the input IN is "1" (TRUE), otherwise they are open (FALSE).
Parameters
Category. There are three categories of relay out-
puts:
Category 1. Outputs with a category 1 relay.
Each module AZ-FO4/AZ-FO4O8 can have up to
four of these outputs.
Properties:
Internal relays are monitored.
External device monitoring contacts (EDM,
check on FBK 1-4) not used (not required for
category 1).
Each output can be set to manual or automatic
starting.
Example with external relay Example with the internal relay only
Category 2. Outputs with a category 2 relay with OTE (Output Test Equipment) outputs.
Each module AZ-FO4/AZ-FO4O8 can have up to four of these outputs.
OTE: The OTE (Output Test Equipment) output is normally "1" (TRUE), except if there is an
internal error or a malfunction in conjunction with the feedback loop for external contac-
tors (FALSE).
Properties:
Internal relays are always monitored.
Monitored external device monitoring contacts
(EDM).
The output can be configured for manual or
automatic starting. The external device moni-
toring (EDM) cannot be activated with manual
starting, only with automatic starting. If, how-
ever, manual starting with external device
monitoring is required, special logic must be
used (see information below).
