Explanation of ‘Sometimes’: Object 12 points are mapped to Virtual Inputs and Commands (Force
Coils). Both “Pulse On” and “Latch On” operations perform the same function in the 8 Series relay ;
that is, the appropriate Virtual Input or Coil is put into the “On” state. The On/Off times and Count
value are ignored. “Pulse Off” and “Latch Off” operations put the appropriate Virtual Input or Coil into
the “Off” state. “Trip” and “Close” operations both put the appropriate Virtual Input or coil into the
“On” state if a paired mapping is set, otherwise “Trip” will put into “Off” and “Close” will put into “On”.

Reports time-tagged Binary Input Change
Events when no specific variation requested:
□ Never
⊠ Binary Input Change With Time
□ Binary Input Change With Relative Time
□ Configurable (attach explanation)
Sends Unsolicited Responses:
□ Never

supported
Sends Static Data in Unsolicited Responses:
⊠ Never
□ When Device Restarts
□ When Status Flags Change
No other options are permitted.
Explanation of ‘Sometimes’: It will be disabled
for RS-485 applications, since there is no collision
avoidance mechanism. For Ethernet
communication it will be available and it can be
disabled or enabled with the proper function
code.
