3.9.3

Flag Indicator / Output Relays Settings (DiggiMEC)

Depending on the ordered type, the DiggiMEC features either one 󰊠ag indicator FI2, or three

󰊠ag indicators FI1, FI2, FI3.

See also ╚═▷ “3.9.2 DiggiMEC Connectors”.

Each of these 󰊠ag indicators is mechanically coupled with a bistable output relay. At any

time, the WIC1 can toggle the state of an FIx. Note that each FIx is always only set with the

rising edge of the assigned signal.

With respect to the DiggiMEC 󰊠ag indicators, there is the following convention: In the state

appearing as a red-colored mark at the DiggiMEC front the 󰊠ag indicator / output relay has

been “set”, and the other state means that the FIx has been “reset”.

WARNING!

A CT-powered WIC1 is able to reliably set and reset the 󰊠ag indicators only under the

condition that it is supplied with su󰊡cient electrical energy via the CTs. (Unfortunately

the required electrical energy depends on various aspects, e. g. how many 󰊠ag indicators

shall be switched at the same time, or whether the impulse outputs shall be triggered,

too. Therefore it is impossible to explicitly specify any limit value.)

CAUTION!

It is not possible for the WIC1 to check the current state of any FIx. So, if the user

mechanically changes the state of an FIx the new state is not signaled to the WIC1.

In other words: Although it is possible at any time to change the state of an FIx by

hand, this should only be done with great care, being aware of potential consequences,

because this also switches the state of the output relay contacts.

After a reset (via HMI or Digital Input), however, all FIx – regardless whether with

or without latching – (re-)assume their correct states according to the current state

of the assigned signals. (Important: The reset is functional only if the WIC1 settings

have speci󰊟ed which DiggiMEC variant is connected; the related parameter is [Device

planning / WIC1 + DiggiMEC] »DiggiMEC . Mode«.)

respective output relay.

The conditions of a module output or signal of a protective function can be assigned to an

FIx, so that it is both electrically available (via the relay contacts) and visualized (via the 󰊠ag
