LOGIC NAMES

In order to easily identify the logic scheme that is operational in memory, each logic scheme is named.

The name is shown on the RELAY SETUP menu screen. For the custom logic scheme, the operator must

enter a name (a maximum of eight characters) identifying the logic scheme. When naming a custom logic

scheme, the standard logic scheme names cannot be used. Only a unique name can be assigned to a

custom logic scheme. Custom logic schemes are programmed through the communication ports.

Preprogrammed logic schemes are selected through the front panel or the communication ports. A logic

scheme is selected by using the command LOGIC = <name> where <name> is the defined name of the

logic scheme.
If a custom logic scheme is to be used, it is defined starting with the command LN = <name> where

<name> is the user-selected name for the logic scheme.
To simplify making minor changes to an existing logic scheme, all logic equations for an existing scheme

can be copied over to the custom scheme by typing LN=<existing name>. Then the custom logic scheme

must be given a unique name by entering LN=<custom name>. Once the logic name is changed, the

changes can be made. (Changing the name does not affect the other logic definitions.) If changes are

attempted prior to changing the logic name, the relay will respond with an error message:

CUSTOM

LOGIC NAME NOT SELECTED.

Defined name must be different from the

standard logic names. An existing logic

scheme can be copied into memory for editing

by using LN=<existing command>.

OUTPUT OPERATIONS

The BE1-BPR relay provides two types of outputs: virtual outputs and hardware outputs. The following

paragraphs provide information about the function and characteristics of virtual and hardware outputs.

Virtual Outputs
A virtual output exists only as a logical state inside the relay. Output operation for virtual outputs OA

through O12 is defined by Boolean logic equations. Each variable in the equation corresponds to the

current state of an input, output, or timer. Any time a logic variable changes state, the outputs are

reevaluated as TRUE or FALSE. If a logical output corresponding to a physical output changes state,

then the corresponding output relay contact also changes state.
Logic equations are defined by the logic variables, logical operators, and their position in the equation.

The logical operators are AND (*), OR (+), and NOT (/). Logical operator AND (*) is assumed between
