Using the DXP-PRO Wizard
FIG. 20 Relay Control dialog
The Display Name text box is used to label the relay group on the touch panel. Changing a Display
Name can result in DXP-PRO displaying a warning pop-up message informing you that
"Deleting/Renaming this entry will affect the following Macros". If you accept the change those
macros could be negatively affected.
The Control Logic drop-down menu allows you to select from 3 control type options: Latching,
Momentary and Pulse Type:
Latching relays can use one, two or three relays to control a motor controller. DXP-PRO always
reserves 3 relays, but you can configure it to match the control method for your motor controller.
For motor controllers that use a single relay, define two relays, but only connect one.
For example, if relay 1 is engaged the screen goes down, when it is disengaged the screen goes up.
By defining two relays, when the down button is selected, relay 1 is disengaged and relay 2 is
engaged. Engaging relays two would of course do nothing.
Momentary and Pulse Type relays require a minimum of 2 relays to be defined. Momentary relay
control would be needed if the motor controller does not have limit switches to stop the motors.
DXP-PRO does not support timed closures in place of limit switches. Timed closure control has
historically been unreliable, and is therefore not supported.

Latching relays remain on until another relay is selected.
Momentary relays will remain on as long as the touch button is being pressed.
Pulse Type relays will turn On for ½ second and then will automatically turn Off.
