6. Input/ Output Characteristics 6.1 Status Input PMAC615 provides two status input channels, which are used to detect state information such as breaker position signal and isolator position signal. There is no power provided from the device. When local application requires the status input to detect signal, it should be connect to an external 220VAC/ DC power supply.

6.2 Relay Output PMAC615 provides two relay operation modes. They are remote control and local control. Users shall distinguish the relay is in local control mode or in remote control mode. In different mode, the operation to relay is different.
7. Setpoint Alarm PMAC615 provides one relay alarm output which is programmable. When the relay output is set to in local control mode, it indicates corresponding set point alarm. There are 5 parameters may be set under setpoint alarm feature.

Operation upper limit: 120 Operation lower limit: 80 (Assumed that, when voltage is lower than 80% of rating, it is undervoltage. ) Operation time: 0s Return time: 0s Other values can be set according to above mentioned procedure, and the relating programming is not described here one by one.
8. Communication Protocol 8.1 Overview PMAC615 supports the MODBUS-RTU communication protocol, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, without check bit. Each frame data package contains the address field, functional code field, data field, and check field. The maximum length of each data package is 45 bytes.
