Sample rate Measurement sample rate
Contact bounce filter
Auxiliary contact Threshold value of the time interval between two consecutive bounces of
the auxiliary contact. For time intervals equal or below the threshold, the
contact is considered as closed.
Setting the value to 0.0 ms deactivates the contact bounce filter.
Average coil current/voltage
Begin Start of the average coil current/voltage evaluation in percent of the time
period during which the current flows through the coil
End End of the average coil current/voltage evaluation in percent of the time
period during which the current flows through the coil
Sequence
O Sequence for measuring the opening time of the circuit breaker
C Sequence for measuring the closing time of the circuit breaker
