Test procedure
The basic test procedure for using memory patterns to perform contact tests on a dual-state
inflator using scanning is shown in Table 5-7. The same test procedure using individual
memory pattern location recall is shown in Table 5-8.
This procedure sets up three memory locations for the necessary relay closures. Each
memory location is set up as follows:
• Delay: 0s
• Function: 2-wire ohms
• Range: 100
• Integration period: 1 PLC
After setting up memory locations (Table 5-7), the scan is enabled, triggered, and readings
are stored in the buffer for recall once the scan is complete. For the memory pattern loca-
tion recall shown in Table 5-8, memory locations are first set up, and each location is
recalled in succession.
