1.8. How the Contact Bridge Works
1.8.1. Basic operation
Whenever any variation in the contact input occurs, the input change information is communicated to the
preprogrammed output destination.
Note: No information is communicated when the contact input remains unchanged.

1.8.2. Retry operation
If a failure of contact bridge control is detected, the system automatically attempts to reestablish control after a
5-second interval (retry operation). The retry operation continues until the contact bridge has been
successfully controlled or the contact input status has changed.

[Factors attributable to contact bridge
control failure]
• Contact input and output devices are not
recognized as existing in the same system.
(Their respective system names differ from
each other.)
• Contact output not set to standard mode.
• Timeout or error occurs in network
communications.
