Momentary Operation of a Load from Multiple Input Sources
The most efficient configuration for momentary operation of a CLMD16 ECB load from multiple
input sources requires the input sources to be physically momentary in nature such as a
momentary “Discrete I/O” input or an input from a hardwired switch that has a physical
momentary operation. (known as:
“Binary Event”). When adding multiple momentary inputs
together to control an
ECB load in a momentary fashion a “Logic Element” will need to be used
to combine the inputs to achieve a single output in which the ou
tput of the “Logic Element” will
be applied to the breaker’s “Input Signal”. In the following example there will be two input
signals combined inside a
“Logic Element”. One input is from a hardwired switch that has a
momentary DC (-
) signal called “Binary Event Low” and one input is a momentary Discrete I/O
input called “Discrete I/O 1”. Both will switch the desired load in a momentary fashion. See
following steps to configure this circuit type.
Note: a “Momentary Network Input” which could come from a third party MFD using 127500
Load Controller PGN or any equipment running Maretron’s N2KView® software could be
externally applied to control the ECB directly (Shown in Red).
Step 1:
Assign inputs to a “Logic Element”. Where “0” is Off and “1” is On, configure the “Logic Output”
in a manner to where if any input source is On, the “Logic Element’s Output” becomes active.
