To program how long the Input 1 contact must be closed for it to be recognized as closed, first pull down
the Time Units menu and set the units for the appropriate time measurement (i.e., ms (default), seconds
minutes, or cycles). Then, click on the Input 1, Recognition Time and enter the new value or use the
appropriate (Up or Down) arrow buttons to set the new value. To program how long the Input 1 contact
must be open to be recognized as open, click on the Input 1, Debounce Time and enter the new value or
use the appropriate (Up or Down) arrow buttons to set the new value.
You can assign a meaningful name to each input. This makes sequential events reports easier to
analyze. To assign a meaningful name to Input 1, click in the Name field and enter the new name. To
change the label for the Closed State, click on the Closed State field and enter the new name. To change
the label for the Open State, click on the Open State field and enter the new name. The remaining three
inputs have the same functions.
Inputs 5 - 8
There are four programmable inputs in the BE1-CDS220 relay that are set by this tab. Functionality is the
same as described for Inputs 1 - 4.
Outputs 1 – 6, A
On this tab (Figure 14-28), the only feature that you may change is to select the programmable hold
attribute. To select the hold attribute (contacts remain closed for 200 milliseconds) for any output, click on
the Hold Attribute field for that output. To change the label for any of the virtual outputs, see the
paragraphs on BESTlogic, Virtual Outputs, later in this section.

Virtual Switches
Pull down the Screens menu and select Virtual Switches or click on the Virtual Switches icon that
is shown at the right margin of this paragraph. This screen has two folder tabs and the first is 43-
143-243-343-101.
43-143-243-343-101
You can assign a meaningful name or label to each virtual switch (Figure 14-29). This makes sequential
events reports easier to analyze. To assign a meaningful label to Virtual Switch 43, click in the Label field
and enter the new name. To change the label for the Closed State, click on the Closed State field and
enter the new name. To change the label for the Open State, click on the Open State field and enter the
new name. The 143, 243, and 343 switches can be changed in the same manner.
