3.2 Blocks and block numbers
This chapter shows you how to use IDEC SmartRelay elements to create complex circuits
and how blocks and I/O are interconnected.
In the topic "From circuit diagram to IDEC SmartRelay program (Page 55)" you will learn how
to transform a conventional circuit into an IDEC SmartRelay circuit program.
Blocks
A block in IDEC SmartRelay represents a function that is used to convert input information
into output information. Previously you had to wire the individual elements in a control cabinet
or terminal box. When you create the circuit program, you interconnect the blocks.
Logic operations
The most elementary blocks are the logic operations:
• AND
• OR
• ...
These special functions offer you significantly greater performance:
• Current impulse relay
• Up/down counter
• On-delay
• Softkey
• ....
The chapter entitled "IDEC SmartRelay functions (Page 111)" gives a full list of the IDEC
SmartRelay functions.
