Programming IDEC SmartRelay

IDEC SmartRelay Manual
The figure above shows you three views of the IDEC Smar-
tRelay display, which represent the circuit program. As you
can see, IDEC SmartRelay interconnects the blocks using
their numbers.
Advantages of the block numbers
You can connect almost any block to an input of the current
block by means of its block number. In this way, you can re-
use the interim results of logical or other operations, reduce
programming effort, save memory space and clean up your
circuit layout. To do so, however, you need to know how
IDEC SmartRelay has named the blocks.
Note
We advise you to create an organizational program chart. You will
find this a valuable help when you create the circuit program, be-
cause you can enter all block numbers assigned by IDEC SmartRe-
lay in this chart.
By using the WindLGC software to program the IDEC SmartRelay,
you can directly create a function chart of your circuit program.
WindLGC also allows you to assign 8-character names to up to 64
blocks, and to view these on the IDEC SmartRelay display in pa-
rameter assignment and programming mode (see Chapter 3.2).
