There are 48 identical digital elements available, numbered 1 to 48. A digital element can monitor any FlexLogic operand
and present a target message and/or enable events recording depending on the output operand state. The digital element
settings include a name to be referenced in any target message, a blocking input from any selected FlexLogic operand,
and a timer for pickup and reset delays for the output operand.
DIGITAL ELEMENT 1 INPUT
— Selects a FlexLogic operand to be monitored by the digital element.
DIGITAL ELEMENT 1 PICKUP DELAY
— Sets the required time delay from element pickup to element operation. If a pickup delay
is not required, set to "0," To avoid nuisance alarms, set the delay greater than the operating time of the breaker.
DIGITAL ELEMENT 1 RESET DELAY
— Sets the time delay to reset. If a reset delay is not required, set to “0.”
DIGITAL ELEMENT 1 PICKUP LED
— This setting enables or disabled the digital element pickup LED. When set to “Disabled,” the
operation of the pickup LED is blocked.

Circuit monitoring applications
Some versions of the digital input modules include an active voltage monitor circuit connected across form-A contacts.
The voltage monitor circuit limits the trickle current through the output circuit (see technical specifications for form-A).

NOTE
Digital elements run once per power system cycle.
As such they can easily fail to react to an input signal or a block signal with a duration less than one power
system cycle. This also means that digital element output can react up to one power system cycle later than
the pickup and reset delay settings indicate.
Do not use digital elements with transient signals, such as communications commands. Do not use digital
elements where random delays of up to one cycle cannot be tolerated, such as in high speed protection.
