(Terminals 22 - 19) : It is usable as Function Blocking Input It is used to switch setting from [In] to [InL].
MC30-BC MO-0365-ING Doc. N° 8. Relay Management The relay can be totally managed locally, either by the RS232 communication port or by means the 4 key buttons and the LCD display, or remotely via the rear communication port RS485. The 2-line x 8 characters LCD display shows the available information.
MC30-BC MO-0365-ING Doc. N° 9. Signalizations Four signal leds are available on the Front Face Panel: Lit-on when C/B open status is detected. OPEN (Digital Input D3 Open) Lit-on when C/B close status is detected. (Digital Input D3 closed) CLOSED Flashing when Breaker Failure is detected.
Note: any change of this setting becomes valid at the next power on. Each relay is identified by its programmable address code (NodeAd) and can be called from the P.C. A dedicated communication software (MSCom) for windows is available on www.microelettrica.com. Maximum length of the serial bus can be up to 200m.
