"Overload relay" control function 
Description 
With this control function, SIMOCODE pro functions like a solid-state overload relay. Control 
commands (e.g. ON, OFF) cannot be issued to the load. Control stations and inputs of the 
control function (e.g. ON >, OFF), do not have any function in the case of overload relays. 
When the control voltage is applied, SIMOCODE pro automatically closes the QE3 contactor 
control; it remains active until it is deactivated by the fault message of a protection or 
monitoring system. 
The QE3 contactor control must be connected to any relay output that switches off the 
contactor coil of the motor contactor in case of overload.
