All relay outputs are updated at a half-cycle rate.
Each relay is independently programmable in the EM720
and can operate in latched, unlatched, pulse or KYZ mode.
Relay operations can be inverted so that the relay is
energized in its non-active state and de-energized when it
is operated. This mode, known as "failsafe" mode, may be
used for signaling purposes to send alarms when the
device is not operational either due to a fault or due to
loss of power.
Each relay can be operated either locally from a control
setpoint in response to an internal or external event, or by
a remote command sent through communications, or can
be directly linked to an internal pulse source producing
energy or interval pulses.
