Introduction
1.1
Foreword
The NRG described hereafter is a sub-system made up of a number of solid state relays intended for the switching of
heaters in a machine. The solid state relays in this system are able to communicate with the main controller through
an NRG controller that facilitates communication between the solid state relays and the main controller. The NRG
controller is available with various communication interfaces including EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP
TM
and Modbus RTU.
Through this communication, it is possible for the main controller to control each solid state relay, read measurements
related to each specific solid state relay and to identify specific failure modes related to the solid state relay or its
associated heater load.
