XL7 User Manual

When the controller is stopped the operation of each output is configurable. The outputs can hold the state

they were in before the controller stopped or they can go to a predetermined state. By default digital

outputs turn off. For more information on stop state see the

Index

to find pages referencing Cscape settings.

The digital outputs feature an output fault bit. %I32 will turn on if any of the outputs experience a short

circuit, over-current or the output driver overheats.

10.5 Relay Outputs

Relay outputs are designed to switch loads that typically have high voltage or current requirements or

require the isolation that relays provide.

NOTE: The design of the XL7 OCS does not require external coil power for the relays to function. The relays

will activate anytime the XL7 OCS is powered.

There are several factors that should be considered when using relays:

Relay Life – Relays are mechanical devices that have a long but limited life. Typically, switching more current

limits the life of relays. Please check the data sheets at the end of this manual for expected relay life.

Current / Temperature De-Rating – Products containing relays often have total current limits based on the

ambient temperature of the application. Please see the product data sheet for current / temperature de-rating

information for relays.

Fusing – External fusing is generally required to protect the relays, devices and wiring from shorts or overloads.

Warning: To protect the module and associated wiring from load faults, use external (5

A)

fuse(s) as shown. Fuses of

lower current or fusing for the entire system need to be in place to assure the maximum current rating

of the unit is not exceeded.

Warning: Connecting high voltage to any I/O pin can cause high voltage to appear at other I/O pins.
