Once the relays are configured for network remote
mode, they will respond to updates to the three
associated NVIs. The values ST_LOW, ST_MED,
ST_HIGH and ST_ON will cause the relays to
energize. The value ST_OFF will cause the relays
to de-energize. The configuration settings for
“normally energized” and “normally de-energized”
have no effect if the relays are in network remote
mode. However, the relays can still be configured
for normally open or normally closed contacts by
moving the jumpers on the Midas
®
backplane PCB.
Caution
Several failure modes will cause the relays
to de-energize. These modes include power
failures and CPU lockups. Furthermore,
power must be removed from the Midas
®
for
certain maintenance procedures. External
equipment should be designed to prevent
creation of expensive or dangerous conditions
when the relays de-energize. For applications
requiring a highly-reliable digital output,
Honeywell Analytics recommends purchasing
a dedicated DO device.
nviReset
This network variable input causes alarms and
faults to be reset when it is updated with ST_LOW,
ST_MED, ST_HIGH or ST_ON.
nviRequest
Updates to this NVI have the effects listed in Table
10-6. These requests are usually sent by the
network management tool.

Note that disabling the node object has no practical

compatibility.)
