5 Operation
Once the program has been transferred to the non-volatile memory, the relay restarts. On
startup, the relay performs a self-test. If it is unsuccessful, the relay will switch to error mode
(sect. 5.1). Otherwise, the program will run (Fig. 5.1)
WARNING
The program is executed after it has been transferred to the relay. It is
recommended to transfer the program before wiring the relay.
Otherwise ensure that all external devices are disconnected from outputs before
transferring the program.
NOTE
Before starting
Before switching on, make sure that the device was stored at the specified ambient
temperature (-
20 ... +55 °C) for at least 30 minutes.
Operation of the device is cycle oriented:
1. operational readiness test
2. input process image update
3. program execution for one cycle
4. output process image update
5. back to 1.
