Description
Digital Input
The Digital Input card can be used to detect voltage transitions in addition to dry
contact transitions. The range of voltage for digital inputs is 0-30 VDC, meaning
that any voltage between 6 and 30 V is detected as a closed condition and
anything below 6 VDC is considered open.
Digital Input cards are available with eight channels per card.
The channels are numbered exactly like analog or relay channels, adding the Slot
number to the individual channel on the card.
Alarm conditions for Digital Inputs are determined based on the Channel State –
Normally Open or Normally Closed. When the input transitions out of the Normal
condition, the channel goes into alarm.
When the channel goes into alarm, relays can be activated or deactivated and
alarm call outs can be performed.
Disabled
Channel is not scanned or evaluated for alarms. Channel LED is not lighted.
Disarm
DISARMed mode is signified by a red blinking RUN LED. In this mode, the EliteIQ
is monitoring all inputs but will NOT perform any alarm operations including
turning on/off relay.
Disarm to Arm Delay
The EliteIQ automatically returns to the Armed mode after this length of time.
[1-1440 minutes] (default is 60 minutes).
Dry Contact
Digital input connections to the EliteIQ are typically dry contacts, meaning that the
device or switch that is connected to the EliteIQ is not supplying any voltage or
current.
Duration Limit
The Duration is typically used to provide a Run-Time meter. If a Duration Limit is
specified, then alarm calls or relay activation occurs when the Duration value
meets the Duration Limit. For example, if you want to know when a motor ha run
100 hours, then you would specify the Duration Limit to be 100 hours or 360,000
seconds.
The duration counter is the total time that an input has been in the Non-Normal
condition from the last time that it was reset. The alarm associated with the
duration is the Duration Limit, which is specified in seconds from 0 (disabled) to
999,999,999.
Whenever the channel goes to the Non-Normal state, the duration counter is
incremented for every second that it is in the Non-Normal state. When the
duration counter reaches the Duration Limit value, an alarm is generated. The
duration counter continues to be incremented until it is reset. It is reset
automatically when the Limit Reset Period expires.
