Supervision with One Binary Input
Note: When using only one binary input (BI) for the trip circuit monitor, malfunctions, such as interruption of
the trip circuit or loss of battery voltage are detected in general, but trip circuit failures while a trip command
is active cannot be detected. Therefore, the measurement must take place over a period of time that bridges
the longest possible duration of a closed trip contact. This is ensured by the fixed number of measurement
repetitions and the time between the state checks.
When using only one binary input, a resistor R is inserted into the circuit on the system side, instead of the
missing second binary input. Through appropriate sizing of the resistor and depending on the system condi-
tions, a lower control voltage is mostly sufficient.
Information for dimensioning resistor R is given in the Chapter "Installation and Commissioning" under Config-
uration Notes in the Section "Trip Circuit Supervision".

Malfunction Responses of the Monitoring Functions
In the following malfunction responses of monitoring equipment are clearly listed.
Description
Malfunction Responses
Depending on the type of malfunction discovered, an annunciation is sent, a restart of the processor system is
initiated, or the device is taken out of service. After three unsuccessful restart attempts, the device is taken out
of service. The operational readiness NC contact operates to indicate the device is malfunctioning. Also, the
red LED ”ERROR" lights up on the front cover, if the internal auxiliary voltage is present, and the green ”RUN"
LED goes out. If the internal auxiliary voltage fails, all LEDs are dark. Table 2-6 provides a summary of the
monitoring functions and the malfunction responses of the relay.
