Output Relays
The output relays are also called digital outputs. Any internal signal
can be connected to the output relays using output matrix. An output
relay can be configured as latched or non-latched. See output matrix
for more details.
NOTE:
If the Allen-Bradley Bulletin 865 has the mA option, it is
equipped with only three alarm relays from A1 to A3.
The difference between trip contacts and alarm contacts is the DC
breaking capacity. See Chapter 9 for details. The contacts are SPST
normal open type (NO), except alarm relays A1, A2 and A3, which
have change over contacts (SPDT).
