2.10 Virtual Input/Outputs

The relays have 16 virtual input/outputs, these are internal logic states. Virtual I/O is assigned in the same way as
physical Binary Inputs and Binary Outputs. Virtual I/O is mapped from within the INPUT CONFIG > INPUT
MATRIX and OUTPUT CONFIG > OUTPUT MATRIX menus.
The status of virtual I/O is not stored during power loss.

2.11 Self Monitoring

The relay incorporates a number of self-monitoring features. Each of these features can initiate a controlled reset
recovery sequence.
Supervision includes a power supply watchdog, code execution watchdog, memory checks by checksum and
processor/ADC health checks. When all checks indicate the relay is operating correctly the 'Protection Healthy'
LED is illuminated.
If an internal failure is detected, a message will be displayed, also an event will be generated and stored. The
relay will reset in an attempt to rectify the failure. This will result in de-energisation of any binary output mapped to
'protection healthy' and flashing of the protection healthy LED. If a successful reset is achieved by the relay the
LED and output contact will revert back to normal operational mode, and the relay will restart.

2.11.1 Protection Healthy/Defective

A normally open contact can be used to signal protection healthy. When the relay has DC supply and it has
successfully passed its self-checking procedure then the Protection Healthy contacts are made.
A normally closed contact is used to signal protection defective. When the DC supply is not applied to the relay or
a problem is detected within the relay then this output is de-energised and the normally closed contacts make to
provide an external alarm.
An alarm can be provided if the relay is withdrawn from the case. A contact is provided in the case at positions
25-26 of the PSU module, this contact closes when the relay is withdrawn.
