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 and 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 mm
• 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
- 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 15
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
16 IDEC SmartRelay Manual
IDEC SmartRelay installation and wiring
• Monitoring of major control components, using online tests (cyclic interrupt for the CPU, etc.)
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.

IDEC SmartRelay installation and wiring
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
To power the CPU module and expansion I/O modules, use one power supply to supply the same power voltage. 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.

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.
L1 N
C
NL1
X-capacitor 2.5 kV, 100 nF
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 capacitor 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 not 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 / 1 → 0:
After a 0 to 1 or 1 to 0 transition, the signal 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 circuit 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:
Voltage Potentiometer Series Resistor
12 V 5 24 V 5
IDEC SmartRelay Manual 33
kΩ - kΩ 6.6 kΩ
IDEC SmartRelay installation and wiring
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.

Note
Fluctuating analog values are due to screening on the connecting wire from the analog valuator device to the analog FL1B-J2B2 expansion module (encoder wire) that has either been mounted incorrectly or not at all. To avoid fluctuating analog values when using these expansion modules, proceed as follows:
• Use only shielded encoder wires.
• Shorten the encoder wire as much as possible. The encoder wire must not be more than 10 meters long.
• Clamp the encoder wire on one side only and clamp it only to the PE terminal on the FL1B-J2B2 / FL1D-K2B2 expansion module.
• Connect ground on the encoder supply to the PE terminal on the expansion module.

FL1E-H12RCA / FL1E-B12RCA / FL1E-H12RCC / FL1E-B12RCC / FL1E-H12RCE / FL1E-B12RCE
The FL1E-H12RCA / FL1E-B12RCA / FL1E-H12RCC / FL1E-B12RCC / FL1E-H12RCE / FL1E-B12RCE version is equipped with relay outputs. The potential of the relay contacts is isolated from the power supply and the inputs.
Requirements for relay outputs
You can connect various loads to the outputs, e.g. lamps, fluorescent lamps, motors, contactor relays etc. For information on the properties required for the loads connected to FL1E-H12RCA / FL1E-B12RCA / FL1E­H12RCC / FL1E-B12RCC / FL1E-H12RCE / FL1E-B12RCE, refer to Appendix A.

2.3.5 Connecting the AS interface bus

To set the address of the module on the AS interface bus, you need an addressing unit. Valid addresses are in the range of 1 to 31. Use each address once only.
You can set the address on the AS interface bus before or after installation. If the installed module is addressed via the address socket, the AS-Interface voltage must be disconnected beforehand. This is necessary for safety reasons.
RUN/STOP AS-I

Networking on the AS interface bus
To make the connection to the AS interface bus, you need a communications-capable IDEC SmartRelay variant:
• IDEC SmartRelay base module + CM AS-I. To be able to send data across the AS interface bus to IDEC
SmartRelay and to receive data from it in the same way, you also need:
• an AS interface power supply and
• an AS interface master. IDEC SmartRelay can only be accepted as a slave on the AS
interface bus. This means that it is not possible to directly exchange data between two IDEC SmartRelay devices. Data is always exchanged across the AS interface master.
IDEC SmartRelay Manual 43
IDEC SmartRelay installation and wiring
Warning
!
The AS-Interface and IDEC SmartRelay systems must never be connected together electrically!
Use safe isolation acc. to IEC 61131-2, EN 50178, UL 508, CSA C22.2 No. 42.

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.
IDEC SmartRelay Manual 45

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 actu­ally turned on or off.

2.4.2 Operating states

IDEC SmartRelay base module operating states
IDEC SmartRelay base module/Pure knows has two operating states: STOP and RUN.
STOP RUN
• The display shows: ’No Program’ (not FL1E-B12...)
• Switching IDEC SmartRelay to programming mode (not FL1E-B12...)
•LED is red (only FL1E-B12...)
Action of IDEC SmartRelay:
• The input data is not read.
• The circuit program is not executed.
• The relay contacts are permanently open or the transistor outputs are switched off.
• Display: Screen mask for monitoring I/Os and messages (after START in the main menu) (not FL1E-B12...)
• Switching IDEC SmartRelay to parameter assignment mode (not FL1E-B12...)
• LED is green (only FL1E-B12...)
Action of IDEC SmartRelay:
• IDEC SmartRelay reads the status of the inputs.
• IDEC SmartRelay uses the circuit program to calculate the status of the outputs.
• IDEC SmartRelay switches the relay/transistor outputs on or off.
Note
After switching the power on, the system briefly switches through the outputs on the FL1E-H12SND. With an open circuit, a voltage of > 8 V can occur for up to approximately 100 ms; when loaded, this time reduces to a matter of microseconds.

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 7 for additional information.
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.

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.

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: 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.
52 IDEC SmartRelay Manual
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’.

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 used 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 program, you interconnect the 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
• ...
I1
I2
x x
1
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
Q
creator of the circuit program with an ‘x’.
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.

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.
IDEC SmartRelay Manual 55
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 circuit, starting at the output and ending at the input:
Step 1: The Normally Open Contact S3 is interconnected in
series to output Q1 and to a further circuit element. A series connection corresponds with the AND block:
Step 2: S1 and S2 are connected in parallel. A parallel circuit
Unused inputs
The circuit program automatically assigns the unused connectors 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 and 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
Connect the switches S1 to S3 to the screw terminals of your IDEC SmartRelay :
• S1 to connector I1 of IDEC SmartRelay
• S2 to connector I2 of IDEC SmartRelay
• S3 to connector I3 of IDEC SmartRelay The output of the AND block controls the relay at output Q1. The load E1 is connected to output Q1.

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.
60 IDEC SmartRelay Manual
Rule 3 Cursor and cursor movement
The following applies when you edit a circuit program:
• You can move the cursor when it appears in the form of an underscore:
- Press , , or to move the cursor in the circuit
program.
- Press OK to change to ”Select connector/block”.
- Press ESC to exit programming mode.
• You select a connector/block
when the cursor appears as a solid square
- Press or to select a connector or a block.
- Confirm with OK.
- Press ESC to return to the previous step.
Rule 4 Planning
• Before you start to create a circuit program, you should either first create a design on paper or program IDEC SmartRelay directly using WindLGC.
• IDEC SmartRelay can only save complete and faultless circuit programs.

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.).

3.6.2 The first circuit program

Let us now take a look at the following parallel circuit consisting of two switches.
Circuit diagram
The corresponding circuit diagram:
S1

The load is switched on with S1 OR S2. IDEC SmartRelay interprets this parallel circuit as an ‘OR’ logic, because S1 OR S2 switches on the output.
Translated into an IDEC SmartRelay circuit program this means: Relay K1 is (at output Q1) is controlled by means of an OR block.

3.6.5 Password

You can protect a circuit program from unauthorized access by assigning it a password.
To assign a password
A password may have a maximum length of 10 characters, and consists only of uppercase letters. On IDEC SmartRelay, the password can be assigned, edited or deactivated only in the “Password” menu.
In the programming menu:
1. Move the “>” cursor to ’Password’: Press or
2. Confirm the ’Password’: Press OK Press or to move up and down the alphabet to select

6. Confirm the password: Press OK Your circuit program is now protected with the password
“AA”, and you are returned to the programming menu.
72 IDEC SmartRelay Manual
Note
You can cancel the input of a new password with ESC. In this case, IDEC SmartRelay returns to the programming menu without saving the password.
You can also set your password using WindLGC. You cannot edit a password-protected circuit program on IDEC SmartRelay or upload it to WindLGC unless you enter the correct password.
To allow you to create and edit a circuit program for a protected module (Card), you first need to assign a password to this new program (see Chapter 6.1).

The B1 block previously connected to Q1 is automatically connected to the uppermost input of the new block. Note that you can only interconnect digital inputs with digital outputs or analog inputs with analog outputs. The ’old’ block will otherwise be lost.
The off-delay block has three inputs. At the top is the trigger input (Trg) you use to start the off-delay time. In our example, the OR block B1 triggers the off-delay. You reset the time and the output with a signal at the reset input. Set the off­delay time at parameter T of the input Par.
In our example we do not use the reset input of the off-delay function, and we identify it with an ’x’ connector.
