The Unit has load short-circuit protection, but automatic recovery mode is
designed to protect the internal circuits specifically from a brief load short-cir-
cuit.
In automatic recovery mode, the Unit's load short-circuit protection is auto-
matically cleared when Tj = Tr, as shown in Fig. 2. Therefore, as long as the
cause of the short-circuit is not removed, the output's ON/OFF operation will
repeat.
If the Unit is left with a short circuit, the internal temperature will rise, causing
damage to the Unit. Always remove the cause of an external load short-circuit
promptly.
Note When an external load short-circuit is detected, the External Load Shorted
Flag will turn ON in the Unit's Status Area and the indicator corresponding to
the shorted output contact will turn ON. An OR for all contact status will output
to the Short-circuited Flag.
When the Load Shorted Flag turns ON, either hold the status of the bit in the
user program and program to turn OFF all the Unit's outputs, or use an
Explicit message to read the contact that is shorted and turn it OFF. The
Short-circuited Flag is allocated in the fifth bit in the Unit's status information
area.
