Setting Up the Interlock Relay (Force On) Feature
Relays 1-4 can be set up as interlock relays. To set up the relays for the
interlock feature:
1. Access the Setup – Relay – Action menu and set the action to off.
2. In the Advanced features – User menu program any of the digital
inputs to Force On any of the internal relays (1-4).
3. Connect a switch or dry contact between the +5V terminal and the
corresponding digital input (dI-1 to dI-4) terminal.
Interlock Relay Operation Example
Relays 1 & 2 are configured to energize (their front panel LEDs are off)
when SW1 & SW2 switches (above) are closed. If the contacts to these
digital inputs are opened, the corresponding front panel LEDs flash
indicating this condition. The processes being controlled by the interlock
relay will stop, and will re-start only after the interlock relay is re-
activated by the digital inputs (switches).
