IDEC SmartRelay Manual 1

Getting started with IDEC SmartRelay

Which devices are available?

IDEC SmartRelay Base is available in two voltage classes:

• Class 1  24 V, i.e. 12 V DC, 24 V DC, 24 V AC

• Class 2 > 24 V, i.e. 100...240 V AC/DC IDEC SmartRelay Base is available in two versions:

• With display: 8 inputs and 4 outputs

• Without display (”IDEC SmartRelay Pure”): 8 inputs and 4 outputs

Each version is integrated into four subunits, is equipped with an expansion interface and Text Display interface and provides 39 pre-configured standard and special function blocks for the creation of your circuit program.

Which expansion modules are available?

• IDEC SmartRelay digital modules are available for operation with 12 V DC, 24 V AC/DC and 100...240 V AC/ DC, and are equipped with four inputs and four outputs.

• IDEC SmartRelay analog modules are available for operation with 24 V DC and some with 12 V DC, depending on the specific module. Each is equipped with two analog inputs or two analog outputs.

The digital/analog modules are integrated in two or four subunits. Each one is equipped with two expansion interfaces for connecting additional modules.

Which display modules are available?

• IDEC SmartRelay Base with display

• Text Display

2 IDEC SmartRelay Manual

Getting started with IDEC SmartRelay

Features of the Text Display

The Text Display is available with the FL1E series. It provides an additional display that is wider than the Base module. It has four function keys that you can program in your circuit program as inputs. Like the IDEC SmartRelay Base module, it has four cursor keys, an ESC key and an OK key that you can also program in your circuit program and use for navigation on the Text Display.

You can create and download a power-up screen for the Text Display from WindLGC. This screen displays briefly when you initially power on the Text Display. You can also upload the power-up screen from the Text Display to WindLGC.

The menus for the Text Display are shown in Appendix section

D.2. You configure the settings for the Text Display independently from the IDEC SmartRelay Base module. The settings can be different.

Which communication modules are available?

• IDEC SmartRelay communication module (CM) AS

interface, which is described in more detail in a separate documentation.

The communication module has four virtual inputs and outputs, and acts as an interface between an ASInterface system and an IDEC SmartRelay system. The module enables four data bits to be transferred from the IDEC SmartRelay base module to the AS-Interface system and vice versa.

IDEC SmartRelay Manual 3

Getting started with IDEC SmartRelay

It’s your choice

The various IDEC SmartRelay Base versions, expansion modules, Text Display and communication modules offer you a highly flexible and adaptive system to suit your specific tasks.

The IDEC SmartRelay system offers you many solutions such as for small domestic installations, simple automation tasks, and even complex engineering tasks involving its integration into a bus system (e.g. communication module AS interface).

Note

IDEC SmartRelay base module may only be equipped with expansion modules of the same voltage class. Mechanical encoding pins in the housing prevent you from connecting devices of a different voltage class.

Exception: The left-hand interface of an analog module or communication module is galvanically isolated.

This type of expansion module can therefore be connected to devices of a different voltage class. See also Chapter 2.1.

A Text Display, if used, can be connected only to an FL1E IDEC SmartRelay base module.

Each IDEC SmartRelay base module supports the following connections for the creation of the circuit program, regardless of the number of connected modules:

• Inputs 11 to I24

• Analog inputs AI1 to AI8

• Outputs Q1 to Q16

• Analog outputs AQ1 and AQ2

• Memory Markers M1 to M27:

- M8: Startup marker

- M25: Backlight flag: IDEC SmartRelay Display

- M26: Backlight flag: Text Display

- M27: Message text character set flag

• Analog Memory Markers AM1 to AM6

• Shift register bits S1 to S8

• 4 cursor keys

• 16 blank outputs X1 to X16

IDEC SmartRelay installation  and wiring

General guidelines

Please note the following guidelines for installing and wiring your IDEC SmartRelay:

• Always ensure that the wiring of your IDEC SmartRelay is compliant with current rules and standards. Also, conform with all national and regional regulations when you install and operate the devices. For information on standards and regulations that apply to your specific case, contact your local authorities.

• Always switch off power before you wire or install/remove a module.

• Always use cables with appropriate conductor crosssections for the relevant current. You can wire IDEC SmartRelay with cable conductor cross-sections from

1.5

mm2 to 2.5 mm2; see Chapter 2.3.

• Do not exceed the screw torque of the terminals. The maximum torque is: 0.5 Nm, see Chapter 2.3.

• Keep the cabling as short as possible. If longer cables are necessary, you should use shielded versions. You should always route your cables in pairs: i.e. one neutral conductor plus one phase conductor or signal line.

• Always keep separate:

- The AC wiring

- High-voltage DC circuits with high-frequency

switching cycles

- Low-voltage signal wiring

• Ensure that the wires are installed with appropriate strain relief.

• Provide a suitable lightning surge arrester for cables installed in hazardous areas.

• Do not connect an external power supply in parallel to the output load of a DC output. This could develop a reverse current at the output if you have not installed a diode or similar barrier device.

• Reliable functioning of the equipment is only ensured with certified components!

Note

IDEC SmartRelay devices may only be installed and wired by skilled personnel who are familiar with and follow general engineering rules and relevant regulations and standards.

IDEC SmartRelay Manual 17

IDEC SmartRelay installation and wiring

What you must note when installing

IDEC SmartRelay is designed for fixed and enclosed installation in the housing or the control cabinet.

Warning

Death, serious bodily injury or considerable damage to property can occur.

Modules of an IDEC SmartRelay are open facilities. This means that you must install IDEC SmartRelay only in a housing or cabinet.

Allow access to the housings or cabinets only with the use of a key or a tool and only allow access to authorized or approved personnel.

It is permissible to operate IDEC SmartRelay from the front at any time.

Safety of electronic control equipment

Introduction

The notes below apply regardless of the type or manufacturer of the electronic control.

Reliability

Maximum reliability of IDEC SmartRelay devices and components is achieved by implementing extensive and cost-effective measures during development and manufacture.

This includes the following:

• Use of high-quality components

• Worst-case design of all circuits

• Systematic and computer-aided testing of all components

• Burn-in of all large-scale integrated circuits (e.g. processors, memory, etc.)

• Measures preventing static charge when handling MOS ICs

• Visual checks at different stages of manufacture

• Continuous heat-run test at elevated ambient temperature over a period of several days

• Careful computer-controlled final testing

• Statistical evaluation of all returned systems and components to enable the immediate initiation of suitable corrective measures

• Monitoring of major control components, using online tests (cyclic interrupt for the CPU, etc.)

18 IDEC SmartRelay Manual

IDEC SmartRelay installation and wiring

These measures are referred to as basic measures.

Carrying out tests

You must, however, ensure safety in your plant. Before finally commissioning a system, carry out complete

functional testing as well as all the necessary safety testing. In testing, also include any predictable faults that can occur.

This means that you will avoid any danger to the plant or to people during operation.

Risks

In all cases where the occurrence of failures can result in material damage or injury to persons, special measures must be taken to enhance the safety of the installation – and therefore also of the situation. System-specific and special regulations exist for such applications. They must be observed on installing the control system (for example, VDE 0116 for burner control systems).

For electronic control equipment with a safety function, the measures that have to be taken to prevent or rectify faults are based on the risks involved in the installation. Beyond a certain degree of hazard the basic measures mentioned above are not sufficient. Additional measures must be implemented and approved for the controller.

Important information

The instructions in the operating manual must be followed exactly. Incorrect handling can render measures intended to prevent dangerous faults ineffective, or generate additional sources of danger.

With any setup, you can plug in an analog output module, which has the maximum of two analog outputs.

For FL1E-H12RCE/FL1E-B12RCE and FL1E-H12SND modules, you can configure whether the module uses two or four of the four possible analog inputs. AI inputs are numbered consecutively depending on how many you configure the base module to use. If you configure two inputs, they are numbered AI1 and AI2, and correspond to the I7 and I8 input terminals. Subsequent AI expansions modules would begin numbering at AI3. If you configure four inputs, they are numbered AI1, AI2, AI3, and AI4, and correspond to I7, I8, I1, and I2 in that order. Subsequent AI expansions modules would begin numbering at AI5. See sections 4.1 and 5.2.4.

High-speed/optimal communication performance

For optimal and high-speed communication performance between IDEC SmartRelay base module and the various modules, we recommend that you install the digital modules first, then the analog modules (examples above). (The special function PI controller is an exception: the AI used for the value PV should be on the IDEC SmartRelay base module or an analog input module adjacent to the IDEC SmartRelay base module).

We recommend that you position the CM AS Interface on the far right-hand side. (If the AS Interface voltage fails, communication between the IDEC SmartRelay system and expansion modules that are arranged to the right of the IDEC SmartRelay CM AS Interface expansion module is interrupted).

The Text Display module is installed separately. You connect it to the IDEC SmartRelay base module with the included Text Display cable.

When setting up expansion modules of different power voltages, take the following restrictions into consideration.

Note

When you use a 24V DC power supply to supply power to 12/24V DC power type base module and 24V DC power type expansion  I/O modules, use a 24V DC power supply which starts up within 10 seconds, otherwise the base module does not recognize the expansion I/O modules. When the power supply voltage varies while the base module and the expansion I/O modules are operating, they normally operate within the permissible operating voltage range.  When using different power supplies, supply power to the base module and expansion modules at the same time, or supply power to expansion modules before the base module.When supplying power to expansion modules after the base module, expansion modules may not be recognized by the base module. When using different power supplies, the fast transient/burst immunity (IEC61000-4-4) will be 1 kV (power supply). A 100 to 240V AC/DC module cannot be connected to the right side of a 12/24V DC, 24V DC, or 24V AC/DC module. For analog input module and AS-Interface communication module, a module of any voltage can be connected to the left side. To the right side, however, a 100 to 240V AC/DC module cannot be connected.

2.3.2 Connecting the Text Display power supply

The Text Display must be connected to an external power supply that supplies a voltage of 12 V DC or 24 V AC/DC. A power connector is included with the Text Display.

 Power supply  Communication interface

The power connection is non-polar. If you connect a DC p

ower supply to the Text Display, you can connect the positive supply wire or negative supply wire to either the left or right side.

Note

IDEC recommends that you protect the Text Display with a 0.5 A safety fuse on the power supply.

X-capacitor 2.5 kV, 100 nF

Sensor connections

Connecting glow lamps and 2-wire proximity switches (Bero) to FL1E-H12RCC/FL1E-B12RCC or FL1BM08C2R2 (AC)

The figure below shows how you connect a switch with a glow lamp

to IDEC SmartRelay. The current that flows through the glow lamp allows IDEC SmartRelay to detect a “1” signal even though the switch contact is not closed. If, however, you use a switch the glow lamp of which is fitted with a power supply, this response does not occur.

Take into account the quiescent current of any 2-wire proximity switches used. The level of the quiescent current of some 2-wire proximity switches is high enough to trigger a logical ”1” signal at the IDEC SmartRelay input. You should therefore compare the quiescent current of the proximity switches with the technical data of inputs in Appendix A.

Remedy

To suppress this response, use an X capacitor rated at  100 nF and 2.5 kV. In a destructive situation, this type of cap

acitor safely disconnects. You must choose the voltage level for which the capacitor is rated such that it is not destroyed in the case of overvoltage! At 230 V AC, the voltage between N and an input I(n) must n

ot be greater than 40 V to guarantee a ”0” signal. You can

connect approximately ten glow lamps to the capacitor.

Restrictions

Signal status transitions 0  1 /

After a 0 to 1 or 1 to 0 transition, the signal

1  0:

must remain constant at the input at least for the duration of one program cycle, so that IDEC SmartRelay can detect the new signal status. The program execution time is determined by the size of the cir

cuit program. Appendix B contains a benchmark test routine that you can use to determine the current scan cycle time.

Special features of FL1E-H12RCE/FL1E-B12RCE and FL1E-H12SND

Fast inputs: I3, I4, I5 and I6:

These versions are also equipped with fast inputs (up/down counters, frequency triggers). The restrictions mentioned earlier do not apply to these fast inputs.

Note

The fast inputs I3, I4, I5 and I6 are the same as in the previous versions FL1A to FL1D; therefore, a circuit program that is written in these versions can be transferred to the new FL1E devices with the programming software WindLGC, without any changes to these features. The fast inputs have increased from 2 kHz to 5 kHz with the FL1E series.

Expansion modules do not have fast inputs.

Analog inputs: I1 and I2, I7 and I8:

The inputs I1, I2, I7 and I8 of IDEC SmartRelay versions FL1E-H12RCE/FL1E-B12RCE and FL1E-H12SND can be used as either digital inputs or analog inputs. The input mode is defined in the IDEC SmartRelay circuit program.

The inputs I1, I2, I7 and I8 provide digital inputs, and the inputs AI3, AI4, AI1 and AI2 provide analog inputs, as described in Chapter 4.1. AI3 corresponds to the input terminal I1; AI4 corresponds to I2; AI1 corresponds to I7; AI2 corresponds to I8. The use of AI3 and AI4 is optional. You configure your IDEC SmartRelay to use either two or four analog inputs as described in section 5.2.4.

When using inputs I1, I2, I7 and I8 as analog inputs, only the range from 0 to 10 V DC is available.

Connecting a potentiometer to inputs I1, I2, I7 and I8

To allow you to achieve 10 V as the maximum value when you completely turn the potentiometer once, you must connect a series resistor on the potentiometer’s input side regardless of the input voltage (see figure below).

We suggest the following sizes of potentiometers and associated series resistors:

IDEC SmartRelay Manual 37

IDEC SmartRelay installation and wiring

The inputs of these devices are not isolated and therefore require a common reference potential (chassis ground ). With FL1E-H12RCE / FL1E-B12RCE and FL1E-H12SND modules, you can tap analog signals between the supply voltage and chassis ground (* = series resistor with 24 V DC).

On the FL1E-H12RCA/-B12RCA, P1 and P2 are indicated in place of L+ and M, respectively

L3 L2

NL1 I1 I2 I3 I4 I5 I6

The inputs of these devices are arranged in 2 groups, each consisting of 4 inputs. Different phases are only possible between blocks, but not within the blocks.

When using a potentiometer and 10 V input voltage as the maximum value, you must ensure that with a connected input voltage of 24 V, 14 V must release via the series resistor so that a maximum of 10 V are supplied when you turn the potentiometer one full rotation. With a voltage of



12 V, this can be neglected.

Note

The FL1B-J2B2 expansion module provides additional analog inputs.

Always use twisted and shielded cables for analog signals, and keep these as short as possible.

2.4 Putting into operation

2.4.1 Switching on the IDEC SmartRelay/Power On

IDEC SmartRelay does not have a power switch. The reaction of IDEC SmartRelay during startup depends on the following:

• Whether a circuit program is stored in IDEC SmartRelay

• Whether a memory cartridge or combined memory/

battery cartridge is inserted

• Whether this is an IDEC SmartRelay version without

display unit (FL1E-B12...)

• The status of IDEC SmartRelay at the time of power

failure.

All possible reactions of IDEC SmartRelay are described on the following page.

To ensure that the expansion module on IDEC SmartRelay changes to RUN mode, check the following:

• Has the sliding contact between IDEC SmartRelay and

the expansion module snapped into place properly?

• Is the power supply connected to the expansion module?

• In addition, always ensure that you switch on the power

supply to the expansion module first before activating the power supply to the IDEC SmartRelay base module (or activate both power supplies at the same time); if you do not do this, the system does not detect the expansion module when you start up the IDEC SmartRelay base module.

Note

After power-up, the FL1E performs initialization. After completing initialization, the FL1E is ready to start to run. During initialization, a sandglass is displayed on the CPU module with display, or the LED is lit red on the CPU module without display.

Initialization time (regardless of expansion module) When a memory cartridge or a combined memory/battery cartridge

is installed: Max. 10 sec When a cartridge is not installed or when a battery cartridge is

installed: Max. 9 sec *The initialization time depends on the program size.

Notes for Using Expansion I/O Modules of Version 7 or earlier

When using 3 or more expansion I/O modules including those of the versions listed below, immediately after powerup, it takes a specific period of time for the base module to accept input signals from the expansion I/O modules. Until the output terminals on the expansion I/O module are actu ally turned on or off.

2. A circuit program on the memory cartridge or combined mem SmartRelay. The circuit program in IDEC SmartRelay is overwritten.

3. If there is a circuit program in IDEC SmartRelay or on the mem IDEC SmartRelay adopts the operational state it had prior to POWER-OFF. Versions without display unit (FL1E-

ory/battery cartridge is automatically copied to IDEC

ory cartridge or combined memory/battery cartridge,

4. If you have enabled retentivity for at least one function, or a function is permanently retentive, the current values are retained at POWER-OFF.

Note

When a power failure occurs while you are entering a circuit program, the program in IDEC SmartRelay will be deleted after power is returned.

Before you modify the circuit program, save a backup copy of your original to a memory cartridge, a combined memory/battery cartridge or to a computer (WindLGC).

2.4.2 Operating states

CM AS Interface, behavior on communication failure

• If the AS Interface voltage fails, communication between the IDEC SmartRelay system and the expansion modules, which are arranged to the right of the IDEC SmartRelay CM AS Interface expansion module, is interrupted.



Recommendation: Position IDEC SmartRelay CM AS Interface on the far right side.

• If communication is interrupted, the switching outputs are reset after about 40 to 100 ms.

Programming IDEC SmartRelay

Getting started with IDEC SmartRelay

Programming refers to creating a circuit program from the IDEC SmartRelay base module.

In this chapter you will learn how to use IDEC SmartRelay to create the IDEC SmartRelay circuit programs for your application.

WindLGC is the IDEC SmartRelay programming software that you can use on your PC to quickly and easily create, test, modify save and print the circuit programs. The topics in this manual, however, relate only to the creation of circuit programs on the actual IDEC SmartRelay base module. The programming software WindLGC contains extensive online help. See also Chapter

Note

IDEC SmartRelay versions without a display unit; that is, the FL1EB12RCE, FL1E-B12RCA and FL1E-B12RCC versions, do not have an operator panel and display unit. They are primarily designed for use in small machine and process equipment engineering systems for series production.

FL1E-B12... versions are not programmed directly on the device. Instead, the circuit program is downloaded to the device from WindLGC or from memory cartridges or combined memory/battery cartridges from other IDEC SmartRelay devices.

IDEC SmartRelay versions without a display cannot write data to memory cartridges or combined memory/battery cartridges.

See Chapters 6, 7 and Appendix C.

7 for additional information.

A small example in the first part of this chapter introduces the operating principles of IDEC SmartRelay:

• You will learn the meaning of two basic terms, namely the connector and the block.

• As the next step, you will create a circuit program based on a simple conventional circuit.

• Lastly, you will enter this program directly in IDEC SmartRelay.

It will take you only a few pages of this manual to store your first executable circuit program in the IDEC SmartRelay unit. With suitable hardware (switches etc.), you will then be able to carry out initial tests.

3.1 Connectors

IDEC SmartRelay is equipped with inputs and outputs

Example of a configuration with several modules:

Each input is identified by the letter I plus a number. When you look at IDEC SmartRelay from the front, you can see the input terminals at the top. Only analog modules FL1B-J2B2 have the inputs at the bottom. Each output is identified by the letter Q plus a number (

FL1D-K2B2, FL1D-K2BM2: AQ plus number). In the figure,

you can see the output terminals at the bottom.

Note

IDEC SmartRelay can recognize, read and switch the I/O of all expansion modules regardless of their type. The I/Os are presented in the installation order of the modules. The following I/Os and marker blocks are available for creating your circuit program: : I1 to I24, AI1 to AI8, Q1 to Q16, AQ1 and AQ2, M1 to M27 and AM1 to AM6. Also available are the shift register bits

S1 to S8, 4 cursor keys: C , C , C and C , four function keys on the Text Display: F1, F2, F3, and F4 as well as 16 blank outputs X1 to X16. See Chapter 4.1 for more details. The following applies to inputs I1, I2, I7 and I8 of FL1E-H12RCE/ FL1E-B12RCE and FL1E-H12SND versions: If you use I1, I2, I7 or I8 in the circuit program, this input signal is digital. If you use AI3, AI4, AI1, or AI2, the input signal is analog. The numbering of the analog inputs is significant: AI1 and AI2 corresponded to I7 and I8 on the FL1D module. With the addition of two new analog inputs for the FL1E series, these modules optionally use I1 for AI3 and I2 for AI4. See the graphical representation at 2.1.1. Also note that you can also use I3, I4, I5, and I6 as fast digital inputs.

The illustration above with numbered AI inputs shows the conceptual usage of the inputs, not the actual physical markings on the module.

Programming IDEC SmartRelay

IDEC SmartRelay’s connectors

The term connector refers to all connections and states in IDEC SmartRelay.

The digital I/O status can be ’0’ or ’1’. Status ’0’ means that the input does not carry a specific voltage. Status ’1’ means that the input does carry a specific voltage.

The ’hi’, ’lo’ and ’x’ connectors have been introduced to make it easier for you to create the circuit program: ’hi’ (high) is assigned the status ’1’,  ’lo’ (low) is assigned the status ’0’.

You do not have to use all of the connectors of a block. The circuit program automatically assigns the unused connectors a status that ensures proper functioning of the relevant block. If you prefer to do so, you can identify unused connectors with an ’x’.

For information on the meaning of the term “block”, refer to Chapter

3.2.

Inputs I1 and I2 are here connected to the OR block. The last two inputs of the block remain unused and are identified by the creator of the circuit program with an ‘x’.

3.2 Blocks and block numbers

This chapter shows you how to use IDEC SmartRelay elements to create complex circuits and how blocks and I/O are interconnected.

In Chapter 3.3 you will learn how to transform a conventional circuit into an IDEC SmartRelay circuit program.

Blocks

A block in IDEC SmartRelay represents a function that is u

sed to convert input information into output information. Previously you had to wire the individual elements in a control cabinet or terminal box.

When you create the circuit pr blocks. To do so, simply select the connection you require from the Co menu. The menu name Co is an abbreviation of the term “Connector”.

Logic operations

The most elementary blocks are the logic operations:

•AND

•OR

• ...

ogram, you interconnect the

These special functions offer you significantly greater performance:

• Current impulse relay

• Up/down counter

•On-delay

• Softkey

• ... Chapter 4 gives a full list of the IDEC SmartRelay functions.

Block representation on the IDEC SmartRelay display

The figure below shows a typical view of the IDEC SmartRelay display. As you can see, it can show only one block at a time. We have therefore introduced block numbers to help you check the circuit structure.

Assigning a block number

IDEC SmartRelay assigns each new block in a circuit

ogram a block number.

pr IDEC SmartRelay uses these block numbers to indicate the

lock interconnections. This means that these numbers are

mainly an aid to your orientation in the circuit program.

IDEC SmartRelay Manual 61

The figure above shows you three views of the IDEC SmartRelay display, which represent the circuit program. As you can see, IDEC SmartRelay interconnects the blocks using their numbers.

Programming IDEC SmartRelay

Advantages of block numbers

You can connect almost any block to an input of the current block by means of its block number. In this way, you can reuse the interim results of logical or other operations, reduce programming effort, save memory space and clean up your circuit layout. To do so, however, you need to know how IDEC SmartRelay has named the blocks.

Note

We advise you to create an organizational program chart. You will find this a valuable aid when you create the circuit program because you can enter in this chart all the block numbers that IDEC SmartRelay assigns.

By using the WindLGC software to program IDEC SmartRelay, you can directly create a function chart of your circuit program. WindLGC also allows you to assign eight-character names to up to 100 blocks, and to view these on the IDEC SmartRelay display in parameter assignment mode (see Chapter 3.4).

Note

Although you have four inputs available for logic operations (Basic functions, see Chapter 4.2), most of the views will only show three inputs for reasons of clarity. You program this fourth input and  assign parameters just like you do with the other three inputs.

To create a circuit logic in IDEC SmartRelay, start at the circuit output. The output is the load or relay that is to be switched. Convert the circuit logic into blocks by working through the circ

uit, starting at the output and ending at the input:

Step 1: The Normally Open Contact S3 is interconnected in

series to output A series connection corresponds with the AND block:

Step 2: S1 and S2 are connected in parallel. A parallel circuit

corresponds with the OR block:

Q1 and to a further circuit element.

Unused inputs

The circuit program automatically assigns the unused co

nnectors a status that ensures proper functioning of the relevant block. If you like, you can label unused connectors with an ’x’ identifier. In our example we shall use only two inputs of the OR block a

nd two inputs of the AND block; the relevant unused third and fourth inputs are identified at the connector with an ’x’. Now connect the I/Os to IDEC SmartRelay.

Wiring

3.4 The four golden rules for operating IDEC SmartRelay

Rule 1

Changing the operating mode

• You create the circuit program in programming mode. After power is on, and when the display shows “No Program / Press ESC”, press the ESC key to select programming mode.

• Timer and parameter values of an existing circuit program can be edited both in parameter assignment

mode and in programming mode. During parameter assignment IDEC SmartRelay is in RUN mode; that is,

it continues executing the circuit program (see Chapter

5). To work in programming mode, you need to terminate the circuit program by calling the “Stop” command.

• Select the ’Start’ command on the main menu to set RUN mode.

• When the system is in RUN, you can return to parameter assignment mode by pressing the ESC key.

•When parameter assignment mode is open and you want to return to programming mode, select the “Stop” command from the parameter assignment menu, and confirm “Stop Prg” prompt with “Yes”. To do so, move the cursor to “Yes” and confirm with OK.

For more details on operating modes, refer to Appendix D.

Rule 2 Outputs and inputs

• Always create your circuit program by working from the output to the input.

• You can connect an output to several inputs, but not the same input to several outputs.

• Within the same program path you may not connect an output to an upstream input. For such internal recursions you should interconnect memory markers or outputs.

You are now in programming mode. Press and to select the other outputs. Now start to edit your circuit program.

Note

Because we have not yet saved a password for the circuit program in IDEC SmartRelay, you can directly enter editing mode. When you select “Edit” after you have saved a password-protected circuit program, you are prompted to enter a password and to confirm it with OK. You can only edit the program after you have entered the correct password (see Chapter 3.6.5.).

When IDEC SmartRelay subsequently changes from STOP to RUN mode, you will again be prompted for password entry to change IDEC SmartRelay to STOP mode from the Text Display if more than one minute has elapsed since you pressed any key on the Text Display.

The Text Display can also change IDEC SmartRelay from STOP to RUN mode, but no password is required in this case.

In this example, only the inputs I1, I15, Q8 and Q12 are set “high”.

What is meant by: “IDEC SmartRelay is in RUN”?

In RUN mode, IDEC SmartRelay executes th

e circuit program. To do so, IDEC SmartRelay first reads the status at the inputs, determines the status of the outputs by means of the user program, and switches these on or off according to your settings.

This is how IDEC SmartRelay indicates the I/O status:

Let us examine this using our example:

When switch S1 is closed, the status at input I1 is hi. IDEC SmartRelay computes the output states by means of the circuit program.

Output Q1 = ‘1’, in this case. When Q1 = ‘1’, IDEC SmartRelay sets relay Q1, and the load

You already know the first part of the circuit. S1 and S2 switch a relay, which is to be used to switch on the load E1, and to switch off the load with a delay of 12 minutes.

3.6.7 Second circuit program

Up to this point, you have successfully created your first circuit and assigned it a name and, if desired, a password. In this section we will show you how to modify existing circuit programs and how to use the special functions.

Using this second circuit program, we will show you how to:

• Add a block to an existing circuit program.

• Select a block for a special function.

• Assign parameters.

Modifying circuits

We shall use the first circuit program as a basis for the
