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
Tex

t D

isplay 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
sect

ion D.2. You

configure the settings for the Text Disp

lay
independently from the IDEC SmartRelay Base module . The
settings can be d

ifferent.

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.

4 IDEC SmartRelay Manual

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 domes

tic installations, simple automation
tasks, and even complex engineering tasks involving its
integration into a bus system (e.g. communication mod ule
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 w

iring

your IDEC SmartRelay:

• Always ensure that the wiring of your IDEC SmartRelay

is compliant with current ru

les 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

2

to 2.5 mm2; see Chapter 2.3.

• Do no t exc ee d th e scr ew 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
necessar

y, 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-vo

ltage 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 ar

rester 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 compon

ents!

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.

18 IDEC SmartRelay Manual

What you must note when installing

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

Safety of electronic control equipment

Introduction

The notes below apply regardless of the type or
manufa

cturer of the electronic control.

Reliability

Maximum reliability of IDEC SmartRelay device

s 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

comp

onents

•

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

, etc.)

• Measu re s pr eve n tin g static ch ar ge whe n ha ndlin g MOS

ICs

• Visual checks at different stages of manufacture

• Continuous heat-run test at elevated

ambi

ent

temperature over a period of several days

• Careful computer-controlled final testing

• Statist ica l evalu a tio n of all re tu rn ed syst em s an d

comp

onents to en

able the immediate initiation of suitable

corrective measures

• Monitoring of major control components, using online

tests (cyclic

interrupt for the CPU, etc.)

!

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.

IDEC SmartRelay installation and wiring

IDEC SmartRelay Manual 19

These measures are referred to as basic measures.

Carrying out tests

You must, however, ensure safety in your plant.
Before finally commissioning a sy

stem, carry

out complete

functional testing as well as all the necessary safety testing.
In testing, also include any predictable fa

ults 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 th e 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 func

tion, 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. In

corr

ect 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 modu le,
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
be

tween IDEC Smar

tRelay base module and the various
modules, we recommend that you install the digi tal 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 yo

u 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 arrange d to the right of the IDEC
SmartRelay CM AS Interface expansion module is
interrupted).

The Text Display module is installed separ

ately. You
connect it to the IDEC SmartRelay base module with the
included Text Display cable.

IDEC SmartRelay Manual 23

Overview: Connecting an additional expansion module to an

expansion module

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, expansi on
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.

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 SmartR ela y to de te ct 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

NL1

C

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 gr

eater 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 pro gram
cycle, so that IDEC SmartRelay can detect the new signal
status.
The program execution time is determined by the size of the
circui

t 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 in

puts (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 fr

om 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 pote

ntiometers and

associated series resistors:

IDEC SmartRelay installation and wiring

38 IDEC SmartRelay Manual

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.

2.3.5 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 th

e installed module is addressed via the address socket,

the AS-Interface voltage

must be disconnected beforehand.

This is necessary for safety reasons.

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 a

nd 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

inter

face bus. This mea

ns that it is not possible to directly
exchange data between two IDEC SmartRelay devices.
Data is always exchanged across the AS interface master.

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/
batter

y car

tridge is inserted

• Whether this is an IDEC SmartRel

ay version without

display unit (FL1E-B12...)

• The status of IDEC SmartRelay at the tim

e 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 mod

e, 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
su

pply 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 ear lier

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.

You can also memorize four simple rules for starting IDEC
SmartRelay :

1. If neither IDEC SmartRe lay nor the inserted memory
cartridge

or combined memory/battery cartridge con tains
a circuit program, IDEC SmartRelay (with display unit)
reports: ’No Program / Press ESC’.

2. A circuit program on the memory cartridge or combined
memory/bat

tery cartridge is automatically copied to IDEC
SmartRelay. The circuit program in IDEC SmartRelay is
overwritten.

3. If there is a circuit pr ogram in IDEC SmartRelay or on the
memory cart

ridge or combined memory/battery cartridge,
IDEC SmartRelay adopts the operational state it had prior
to POWER-OFF. Versions without display unit (FL1E­B12...) automatically change from STOP to RUN (LED
changes from red to green).

54 IDEC SmartRelay Manual

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

Note

When a power failure occurs while you ar e en te ri n g a ci rcu it
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

IDEC SmartRelay base module operating states

IDEC SmartRelay base module/Pure knows has two
operating states: S

TOP and RUN.

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 progr

am from the

IDEC SmartRelay base module.
In this chapter you will learn how to use IDEC SmartRelay to

cre

ate 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 simp

le conventional circuit.

• Lastly, you will enter this program directly in IDEC

SmartRe

lay.

It will take you only a few pages of this manual to

st

ore 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, yo u can see the
input terminals at the top. Only analog modules FL1 B-J2B2
have the inputs at the bottom.
Each output is identified by the letter Q plus a number
(FL1

D-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.

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 con

nectors

of a block. The
circuit program automatically assigns the unused co nnectors
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 t

he

term “block”, refer to

Chapter 3.2.

3.2 Blocks and block numbers

This chapter shows you how to use IDEC SmartRe l ay
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 pr

ogram, you in

terconnect 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

1

Q

x

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’.

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.

62 IDEC SmartRelay Manual

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-char acter 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, star

ting 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:

I3

Q1

&

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

corresponds with the OR block:

I3

Unused inputs

The circuit program automatically assigns the unused
connecto

rs 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 ID

EC SmartRelay

• S2 to connector I2 of IDEC SmartRelay

• S3 to connector I3 of IDEC SmartRelay
The output of the AND block con trols 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 mo de

• You cre a te th e circ uit pro gr am 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
prog

ram 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 prog

ramming mode, yo

u need to

terminate the circuit program by calling

the “Stop”

command.

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

• W

hen the system is in RUN, you can return t

o parameter

assignment mode by pressing the ESC key.

•When paramet

er 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
Ou

tputs

and inputs

• Always create your circuit program by working from the
o

utput 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
o

utput to an

upstream input. For such internal recursions

you should interconnect memory markers or outputs.

Rule 3
Cursor and cursor movement

The following applies when you edit a circuit program:

• You can move th

e 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 t

o return to t

he previous step.

Rule 4
Planning

• Befor

e you start to create a circuit program, you should

eithe

r firs

t create a design on paper or program IDEC

SmartRelay directly using WindLGC.

• IDEC SmartRelay can only save complete and faultless
c

ircui

t programs.

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-prot ected 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.).

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.

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

In RUN mode, IDEC SmartRelay executes the 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

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 passwo rd. 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 blo ck to an exis ting ci rcu it pr og ra m .

• Select a block for a special function.

• Assign parameters.

Modifying circuits

We shall use the first circuit program as a basis for the
second, with som

e slight modifications.

First of all take a look at the circuit diagra

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.
