Self-supervision (IRF) system

The relay is provided with an extensive self-supervision system which continuously
supervises the software and the electronics of the relay. It handles run-time fault
situations and informs the user about an existing fault via a LED on the HMI and a
text message on the LCD. There are two types of fault targets: IRF targets and
warnings.

Internal relay fault

When an internal relay fault preventing relay operation is detected, the relay first
tries to eliminate the fault by restarting. Only after the fault is found to be
permanent, the green target LED (ready) begins to flash and the self-supervision
output contact is activated. All other output contacts are returned to the initial state
and locked for the internal relay fault. Further, a fault target message appears on the
LCD, including a fault code.
IRF targets have the highest priority on the HMI. None of the other HMI targets can
override the IRF target. As long as the green target LED (ready) is flashing, the fault
target cannot be cleared. In case an internal fault disappears, the green target LED
(ready) stops flashing and the relay is returned to the normal service state, but the
fault target message remains on the LCD until manually cleared.
The IRF code indicates the type of internal relay fault. When a fault appears, the
code is to be recorded and stated when ordering service. The fault codes are listed in
the following table:
