4.2.9 Breaker control

The C30 can interface with associated circuit breakers. In many cases the application monitors the state of the breaker,
that can be presented on faceplate LEDs, along with a breaker trouble indication. Breaker operations can be manually
initiated from the faceplate keypad or automatically initiated from a FlexLogic operand. A setting is provided to assign
names to each breaker; this user-assigned name is for the display of related flash messages. These features are provided
for two breakers; the user can use only those portions of the design relevant to a single breaker, which must be breaker 1.
It is assumed in the following discussion that the
setting is "Enabled" for each breaker.

position. If the mode is selected as one-pole, all three breaker pole states must be input to the relay. These inputs must be
in agreement to indicate the position of the breaker.
