Frequently Asked Questions - SR3XT141BD SCHNEIDER

What programming languages are supported on the SR3XT141BD extension?
The extension itself does not have a processor; it is programmed through the connected smart relay. The smart relay supports Ladder (LD) and Function Block (FBD) languages, configurable via the front panel or Zelio Soft 2 software.
Can I modify program parameters while the smart relay is running?
Yes, unlocked parameters (such as timer preset values, counter limits) can be changed in RUN mode from the PARAMETERS menu or MONITORING menu. Changes must be confirmed with the Menu/OK key.
How do I set a password to protect my program?
Go to the CONFIGURATION menu, select PASSWORD, enter a 4-digit code using the navigation and +/- keys, then confirm. Once set, a key icon appears and password is required to access PROGRAMMING, MONITORING, or TRANSFER menus.
What does the error code '051' mean and how do I fix it?
Error 051 indicates a Watchdog overflow. The cycle time is too short for the program execution. Increase the cycle time in CONFIGURATION > WATCHDOG CYCLE, or disable the watchdog action (set to INACTIVE) if timing is not critical.
Can I transfer a program between two smart relays using a memory cartridge?
Yes, use the TRANSFER menu. Insert an SR2MEM02 cartridge (for firmware+program) or SR2MEM01 (program only). Select MEMORY > ZELIO to load into the relay. Ensure firmware compatibility; otherwise a version error occurs.
How many ladder diagram lines can I program?
Without an SR2COM01 communication module, up to 240 lines. With SR2COM01, the maximum is 120 lines. The program memory is split into two banks (lines 1-120 and 121-240) that must be saved separately.
How do I calibrate the real-time clock?
In the CHANGE D/T menu, you can adjust the CAL value (seconds per week) to compensate for drift. For example, a +60 second/month drift can be offset by setting CAL to -15 seconds/week. The correction occurs every Sunday at 01:00.
Why are my outputs flashing on the main screen?
Flashing outputs indicate a short-circuit or overload on a transistor output group (for transistor outputs). For relay outputs, flashing may indicate an overcurrent condition. Remove the cause, then stop and restart the smart relay.
What is the maximum number of timers or counters I can use?
Without SR2COM01, you can use up to 28 timers, 28 counters, and 28 auxiliary relays. With SR2COM01, these limits drop to 16 each. Check firmware version for exact limits (see VERSION menu).
How do I update the firmware of the smart relay?
Firmware can be updated using Zelio Soft 2 software and a PC connection cable (or via SR2MEM02 cartridge with new firmware). Connect the smart relay to the PC, select the firmware file, and follow the software instructions. The VERSION menu shows current firmware.

Important Information

NOTICE

Read these instructions carefully, and look at the equipment to become familiar with the device before trying to install, operate, service, or maintain it. The following special messages may appear throughout this documentation or on the equipment to warn of potential hazards or to call attention to information that clarifies or simplifies a procedure.

SCHNEIDER SR3XT141BD - NOTICE - 1

The addition of this symbol to a "Danger" or "Warning" safety label indicates that an electrical hazard exists which will result in personal injury if the instructions are not followed.

SCHNEIDER SR3XT141BD - NOTICE - 2

This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential personal injury hazards. Obey all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid possible injury or death.

DANGER

DANGER indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

WARNING

WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION

CAUTION indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.

NOTICE

NOTICE is used to address practices not related to physical injury.

PLEASE NOTE

Electrical equipment should be installed, operated, serviced, and maintained only by qualified personnel. No responsibility is assumed by Schneider Electric for any consequences arising out of the use of this material.

A qualified person is one who has skills and knowledge related to the construction and operation of electrical equipment and its installation, and has received safety training to recognize and avoid the hazards involved.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Do not use this product on machinery lacking effective point-of-operation guarding. Lack of effective point-of-operation guarding on a machine can result in serious injury to the operator of that machine.

WARNING

UNGUARDED EQUIPMENT

  • Do not use this software and related automation equipment on equipment which does not have point-of-operation protection.
  • Do not reach into machinery during operation.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

This automation equipment and related software is used to control a variety of industrial processes. The type or model of automation equipment suitable for each application will vary depending on factors such as the control function required, degree of protection required, production methods, unusual conditions, government regulations, etc. In some applications, more than one processor may be required, as when backup redundancy is needed.

Only you, the user, machine builder or system integrator can be aware of all the conditions and factors present during setup, operation, and maintenance of the machine and, therefore, can determine the automation equipment and the related safeties and interlocks which can be properly used. When selecting automation and control equipment and related software for a particular application, you should refer to the applicable local and national standards and regulations. The National Safety Council's Accident Prevention Manual (nationally recognized in the United States of America) also provides much useful information.

In some applications, such as packaging machinery, additional operator protection such as point-of-operation guarding must be provided. This is necessary if the operator's hands and other parts of the body are free to enter the pinch points or other hazardous areas and serious injury can occur. Software products alone cannot protect an operator from injury. For this reason the software cannot be substituted for or take the place of point-of-operation protection.

Ensure that appropriate safeties and mechanical/electrical interlocks related to point-of-operation protection have been installed and are operational before placing the equipment into service. All interlocks and safeties related to point-of-operation protection must be coordinated with the related automation equipment and software programming.

NOTE: Coordination of safeties and mechanical/electrical interlocks for point-of-operation protection is outside the scope of the Function Block Library, System User Guide, or other implementation referenced in this documentation.

START-UP AND TEST

Before using electrical control and automation equipment for regular operation after installation, the system should be given a start-up test by qualified personnel to verify correct operation of the equipment. It is important that arrangements for such a check be made and that enough time is allowed to perform complete and satisfactory testing.

WARNING

  • Verify that all installation and set up procedures have been completed.
  • Before operational tests are performed, remove all blocks or other temporary holding means used for shipment from all component devices.
  • Remove tools, meters, and debris from equipment.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

Follow all start-up tests recommended in the equipment documentation. Store all equipment documentation for future references.

Software testing must be done in both simulated and real environments.

Verify that the completed system is free from all short circuits and temporary grounds that are not installed according to local regulations (according to the National Electrical Code in the U.S.A, for instance). If high-potential voltage testing is necessary, follow recommendations in equipment documentation to prevent accidental equipment damage.

Before energizing equipment:

  • Remove tools, meters, and debris from equipment.
  • Close the equipment enclosure door.
  • Remove all temporary grounds from incoming power lines.
  • Perform all start-up tests recommended by the manufacturer.

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENTS

The following precautions are from the NEMA Standards Publication ICS 7.1-1995 (English version prevails):

  • Regardless of the care exercised in the design and manufacture of equipment or in the selection and ratings of components, there are hazards that can be encountered if such equipment is improperly operated.
  • It is sometimes possible to misadjust the equipment and thus produce unsatisfactory or unsafe operation. Always use the manufacturer's instructions as a guide for functional adjustments. Personnel who have access to these adjustments should be familiar with the equipment manufacturer's instructions and the machinery used with the electrical equipment.
  • Only those operational adjustments actually required by the operator should be accessible to the operator. Access to other controls should be restricted to prevent unauthorized changes in operating characteristics.

FILTER Menu

Description

This function is used to set the filter time of the inputs. A fast filter detects an input signal change faster than a slow filter; however, a fast filter is more sensitive to disturbances such as signal bounce.

Two choices are available:

  • Fast
  • Slow

Response time:

Filtering Commutation Response time
Slow ON → OFF5 milliseconds
OFF → ON 3 milliseconds
Fast ON → OFF0.5 milliseconds
OFF → ON 0.3 milliseconds

This selection can only be made when the smart relay is in STOP. By default, the smart relays are configured in SLOW.

WATCHDOG CYCLE Menu

Description

The duration of a program cycle depends on its length and complexity; in particular, the type and number of I/O and the number of extensions.

The program is executed periodically at regular time intervals. This time interval is called the cycle time.

The program will only execute completely if the cycle time is greater than the program execution time.

The cycle period is configurable in the CONFIGURATION → WATCHDOG CYCLE menu. This period may be set from 6 to 90 milliseconds in 2-millisecond steps.

The default value of the cycle period is 14 milliseconds.

Illustration:

CYCLE =07x02mS WATCHDOG INACTIVE Menu / OK

NOTE: Make sure that:

  • Input variations that are too rapid are not hidden by a cycle time that is too slow.
  • The speed of output variations is compatible with system commands.

If the duration of the execution cycle of the program and the embedded software functions exceeds the cycle time value selected by the programmer, the WATCHDOG can be used to operate a specific action.

NOTE: In certain dialog phases, the cycle times are increased by the communication times between the PC and the smart relay. The real cycle times vary greatly during this operating mode. The WATCHDOG is always inhibited in this smart relay operating mode.

NOTE: To return to the main menu from the CONFIGURATION menu, use the navigation key ◀.

Actions

The WATCHDOG can perform the following actions:

• INACTIVE: Normal operation
- ALARM: An error condition is set and the error code corresponding to Cycle time overrun is accessible in the DEFAULT menu.
- ERROR: The program stops (STOP mode) and the error code corresponding to Cycle time overrun is accessible in the DEFAULT menu.

Cycle Time

The cycle time may be set from 6 to 90 milliseconds in 2-millisecond steps.

To adjust this period, adjust the 2-millisecond step multiplier factor using the + and - keys in the contextual menu. This factor is between 3 and 45.

SCHNEIDER SR3XT141BD - Cycle Time - 1

The multiplier factor is adjusted depending on the shortest sampling period of the inputs.

Introduction

Description

In LD programming mode, an application can be created from the interface of the front panel of the smart relay.

Here is detailed information on the possible elements of a ladder diagram in LD mode that are recognized and used by smart relays.

To illustrate the functions performed by each element, where necessary a directly usable example is included.

Composition of Ladder Diagrams

The maximum number of lines in Ladder language that smart relays accept depends on two factors:

• the firmware version
- whether an SR2COM01 communication interface has been selected in the configuration.

For detailed information, refer to the table presented in Smart Relay Firmware Version Versus Functions (see page 186).

Each program line comprises of a maximum of 5 contacts. Contacts must be attached to one coil, and the coil is not necessarily on the same program line.

NOTE: When an application requires more than five contacts to activate an action, the auxiliary relays may be used.

NOTE: Perpendicular connection is not possible between the lines 120 and 121.

Sample Ladder Diagram

Below is an example of a ladder diagram, as it appears on the display of the front panel of a smart relay:

I1- - T - - - - - - RT1 I2- - J I3- -M3- - - - -Z1- - SM1 -- TT1 Menu / OK

Discrete Inputs

Description

The Discrete Inputs can be used exclusively as contacts in the program.

These contacts represent the status of the input for the smart relay connected to a sensor (push button, switch, sensor, etc.).

The contact number corresponds to the number of terminals of the associated input: 1 to 9, then A to R (except for letters I, M and O) according to the smart relay and the possible extension.

Use as a Contact

This contact may use the direct state of the input (normally open contact) or its inverse state (normally closed contact), see below.

Normally open:

Symbol of a normally open contact:

1-

If the input is supplied, the contact is conducting.

Example:

1 — J Q1

If input 1 is supplied, contact I1 is closed, and coil Q1 is activated.

Normally closed:

Symbol of a normally closed contact:

i.

If the input is supplied, the contact is non-conducting.

Example:

i1 — [Q1

If input 1 is supplied, contact i1 is open, and coil Q1 is not activated.

Modification of the state of a contact

To modify a contact from the front panel of the smart relay (the programming window is displayed on the screen):

  • Place the cursor over the letter of the contact,
  • Scroll through the possible contact types (I for a normally open contact, i for a normally closed contact).

For more details, refer to Method for Entering a Contact or Coil (see page 47).

Initialization

Status of contacts on program initialization:

  • The direct state is inactive,
    • The reverse state is active.

Zx Keys

Description

The navigation keys behave like the I physical inputs (Discrete inputs). The only difference is that they do not correspond to smart relay connection terminals, but to the four gray keys on the front panel.

They are used as pushbuttons, and can only be used as contacts.

Use as a Contact

This contact may use the direct state of the key (normally open contact) or its inverse state (normally closed contact), see below.

Normally open:

Symbol of the normally open contact, representing a key:

Z-

If the key is pressed, the corresponding input is conducting.

Normally closed:

Symbol of the normally closed contact, representing a key:

Z-

If the key is pressed, the corresponding input is non-conducting.

Example

Creating a switch operated by the Z1 key and Q1 output:

Z1——JQ1

Each time the Z1 key is pressed, the Q1 output changes state.

Deactivation of Zx Keys

By default the Zx Keys are active. They may be deactivated as described here:

  • From the smart relay front panel: Using CONFIGURATION → Zx KEYS menu, refer to Zx KEYS (see page 66)
  • From the programming software: See on-line help of the programming software for more information.

NOTE: When the smart relay is in RUN mode, if the Zx Keys have been deactivated, they cannot be used for inputs in the program, but for navigating the menus.

Modification of the State of a Contact

To modify a contact from the front panel of the smart relay (the programming window is displayed on the screen):

  • Place the mouse over the letter representing the contact,
  • Scroll through the possible contact types (Z for a normally open contact, z for a normally closed contact).

For more details, refer to Method for Entering a Contact or Coil (see page 47).

Initialization

Status of contacts on program initialization:

  • Normally open (direct state) is inactive,
  • Normally closed (reverse state) is active.

Auxiliary Relays

Description

Auxiliary relays marked M or N behave as Discrete Outputs Q (see page, but) do not have an electrical output contact. They can be used as internal variables.

NOTE: The maximum number of auxiliary relays depend on the firmware version and whether an SR2COM01 is included in the configuration (see page 186).

There are 28 M auxiliary relays, numbered from M1...M9, and then MA...MV, excluding MI, MM, and MO.

In addition, if no SR2COM01 communication interface has been selected in the configuration, there are 28 N auxiliary relays, numbered from N1...N9, and then NA...NV, excluding NI, NM, and NO.

The auxiliary relays can be used in the program, indifferently either as a coil or contact. They can be used to latch a state to be used in the form of the associated contact.

Use as a Coil

To use an auxiliary relay as a coil, 4 types are available:

  • Direct coil
  • Impulse coil
  • Set (latch) coil
  • Reset (Unlatch) coil

Direct coil:

Symbol of an auxiliary relay used as a Direct coil:

SCHNEIDER SR3XT141BD - Use as a Coil - 1

The relay is energized if the elements to which it is connected are conducting. Otherwise it is not energized.

Impulse coil:

Symbol of an auxiliary relay used as an Impulse coil:

SCHNEIDER SR3XT141BD - Use as a Coil - 2

Pulse energization, the coil changes state on each rising edge it receives.

Set coil:

Symbol of an auxiliary relay used as a Set coil:

SCHNEIDER SR3XT141BD - Use as a Coil - 3

The SET coil is energized as soon as the elements to which it is connected are conducting, then stays energized even if afterward the elements are no longer conducting.

Reset coil:

Symbol of an auxiliary relay used as a Reset coil:

RM-

The RESET coil is deactivated when the elements to which it is connected are conducting. It remains deactivated even if afterward the elements are no longer conducting.

NOTE: For upward compatibility for programs operating with Zelio 1, the four types of a given output coil (Q) or auxiliary relay (M) can be used in the same wiring sheet in Zelio 2.

Use as a Contact

Auxiliary relays can be used as contacts as many times as necessary.

This contact may use the direct state of the relay (normally open contact) or its inverse state (normally closed contact), see below.

Normally open:

Symbol of an auxiliary relay used as a contact in normally open:

M-

If the relay is energized, the contact is conducting.

Normally closed:

Symbol of an auxiliary relay used as a contact in normally closed:

m-

If the relay is energized, the contact is non-conducting.

Example

In the following example turning a lamp on and off is conditioned by the state of the 6 following inputs: I1, I2, I3, I4, I5, and IB.

The lamp is on when:

  • Inputs I1, I4, I5, and IB are set to 1, and
  • Inputs I2 and I3 are set to 0

As the smart relay does not allow more than five contacts on a line, auxiliary relays are used to control the lamp.

We have chosen to latch inputs I1, I4, I5, and IB using auxiliary relay M1 and to latch inputs I2 and I3 using auxiliary relay M2. The lamp is controlled by relays M1 and M2, which are used as a normally open contact and a normally closed contact respectively.

Modifying the State of a Coil or a Contact

To modify the type of a coil or a contact from the front panel of the smart relay (with the programming window displayed on screen):

  • Position the cursor on the symbol representing the coil type or on the letter of the contact.
  • Scroll through the possible coil or contact types (M for a normally open contact, m for a normally closed contact).

For more details, refer to Method for Entering a Contact or Coil (see page 47).

Initialization

State of contacts on program initialization:

  • Normally open (direct state) is inactive.
  • Normally closed (reverse state) is active.

Latching

By default, after a power outage, the relay is in the state that corresponds to program initialization.

To restore the state of the output as backed up before the power outage, latching must be activated:

  • From the front panel: From the PARAMETERS (see page 55) menu, or
  • In the programming software: Enable the Latching option in the parameters window associated with the relay.

Discrete Outputs

Description

Discrete Outputs correspond to the smart relay outputs (connected to the actuators). These outputs are numbered from Q1 to Q9, then from QA to QG, according to the smart relay reference and the connected extensions.

Discrete outputs can be used either with a coil (write) or a contact (read) element.

Use as a Coil

To use a Discrete output as a coil, four types are available:

  • Direct coil
  • Impulse coil
  • Set (latch) coil
  • Reset (Unlatch) coil

Direct coil:

Symbol of a Discrete output, used as a Direct coil:

SCHNEIDER SR3XT141BD - Use as a Coil - 1

The coil is energized if the elements to which it is connected are conducting. Otherwise it is not energized.

Impulse coil:

Symbol of a Discrete output, used as an Impulse coil:

SCHNEIDER SR3XT141BD - Use as a Coil - 2

Pulse energization, the coil changes state on the rising edge of each pulse it receives.

Example: Switching a lamp on and off with a pushbutton:

SCHNEIDER SR3XT141BD - Use as a Coil - 3

A push button is connected to input I1 and a lamp to output Q1. Every time the button is pressed, the lamp switches on or off.

Set coil:

Symbol of a Discrete output, used as a Set coil:

SCHNEIDER SR3XT141BD - Use as a Coil - 4

The Set coil is energized as soon as the elements to which it is connected are conducting, then stays energized even if afterward the elements are no longer conducting.

Reset coil:

Symbol of a Discrete output, used as a Reset coil:

SCHNEIDER SR3XT141BD - Use as a Coil - 5

The RESET coil is deactivated when the elements to which it is connected are conducting. It remains inactive even if afterward the elements are no longer conducting.

Example: Switching a lamp on and off with two pushbuttons:

SCHNEIDER SR3XT141BD - Use as a Coil - 6

In this example, push button 1 (PB1) is connected to input I1. PBI2 to input I2. The lamp is controlled by output Q1. The lamp illuminates when pushbutton PBI1 is pressed, and it turns off when pushbutton PBI2 is pressed.

NOTE:

  • Generally, an output is only used at one single point in the program as a coil (given the exception of the Set and Reset coils).
  • If a SET coil is used for a Discrete output, provide a RESET coil for this output. The RESET coil takes priority over the SET coil.

The use of a Set coil on its own is only justified for activating an alarm signal that can be reset only by an INIT + ON action from the program.

Use as a Contact

An output can be used as a contact as many times as necessary.

This contact may use the direct state of the output (normally open contact) or its inverse state (normally closed contact), see below.

Normally open:

Symbol of a Discrete output, used as a contact in normally open:

SCHNEIDER SR3XT141BD - Use as a Contact - 1

If the output is energized, the contact is conducting.

Normally closed:

Symbol of a Discrete output, used as a contact in normally closed:

SCHNEIDER SR3XT141BD - Use as a Contact - 2

If the output is energized, the contact is non-conducting.

Modifying the State of a Coil or a Contact

To modify the type of a coil or a contact from the front panel of the smart relay (the programming window displayed on screen):

  • Position the cursor on the symbol representing the coil output and press Shift key,
  • Scroll through the possible coil or contact types (Q for a normally open contact, q for a normally closed contact).

For more details, refer to Method for Entering a Contact or Coil (see page 47).

Initialization

Status of contacts on program initialization:

  • Normally open (direct state) is inactive,
  • Normally closed (reverse state) is active.

Latching

By default, after a power outage, the outputs are in the state that corresponds to program initialization.

Activate latching to restore the state of the output as backed up before the power outage:

  • From the front panel: from the PARAMETERS menu (see page 55), or
  • In the programming software: Enable the Latching option in the parameters window associated with the output.

Timers

Description

Use the Timers function to delay, prolong and control actions over a predetermined period. Durations can be set using one or two preset values, according to the type of timer.

There are 11 types of timers:

• A: Active, control held down,
• a: Active, Press to start/stop,
C: Off delay,
- B: On pulse one shot: Pulse calibrated on the command input rising edge,
- W: Timing after pulse: Pulse calibrated on the command input falling edge,
• D: Symmetrical flashing: control held down synchronously,
- PD: Symmetrical flashing, Start/stop on pulse,
• T: Time on addition,
- AC: A/C: Combination of A and C,
- L: Flasher unit, control held down asynchronously,
- I: Flasher unit; Press to start/stop.

For the description of different types of timers, refer to the Timing Diagrams (see page 105).

The smart relay has either 28 timer function blocks, or 16 timer function blocks if an SR2COM01 communication interface is present. They are numbered from 1...9 then from A...V (I, M, O are not used).

NOTE: The maximum number of timers also depends on the firmware version (see page 186).

Each block has a reset input, a command input and an output used to indicate timer time-out.

Use of Coils

Two coils are associated with each timer:

  • Coil TT: Command Input,
  • Coil RC: Reset Input,

The use of these coils is described below.

Command input:

Symbol of the Command input coil of a timer:

TT-

Each type involves a specific operation, which can be used to manage the possible scenarios in an application.

Reset input:

Symbol of the Reset input coil of a timer:

RT-

Energization of the coil causes a reset of the timer value: contact T is deactivated and the function is ready for a new timer cycle.

NOTE: This coil is only necessary for pulse start/stop type timers.

Use as a Contact

The contact associated with the timer indicates whether the timer has stopped.

It may be used as many times as necessary in the program either as normally open or as normally closed:

Normally open:

Symbol of the normally open contact associated with a timer:

T-

If the output of the Timer function block is active, the contact is conducting.

Normally closed:

Symbol of the normally closed contact associated with a timer:

t-

If the output of the Timer function block is active, the contact is non-conducting.

Configuration from Front Panel

The block parameter settings can be accessed either when entering the command line or from the PARAMETERS menu if the block has not been padlocked.

The parameters to enter are the following:

  • Timer type,
  • Preset value(s),
  • Time unit,
  • Parameter lock,
  • Latching.

Type of timer:

This parameter allows you to choose the type of timer function from among the 11 types available. Each type is represented by one or two letters:

• A: Active, control held down,
• a: Active, Press to start/stop,

C: Off delay,
- B: On pulse one shot: Pulse calibrated on the command input rising edge,
- W: Timing after pulse: Pulse calibrated on the command input falling edge,
- D: Symmetrical flashing: control held down synchronously,
- PD: Symmetrical flashing, Start/stop on pulse,
• T: Time on addition,
- AC: A/C: Combination of A and C,
- L: Flasher unit, control held down asynchronously,
- I: Flasher unit; Press to start/stop.

Preset value:

Depending on the type of timer, there can be 1 or 2 preset values:

- 1 preset value for the A, a, C, B, W, D, PD and T types:

SCHNEIDER SR3XT141BD - Type of timer: - 1

: on-delay or off-delay according to type.

- 2 preset values for the AC, L and I types:

SCHNEIDER SR3XT141BD - Type of timer: - 2

: Timer on-delay in the case of AC type; active state in the case of flasher units L

SCHNEIDER SR3XT141BD - Type of timer: - 3

: Timer off-delay in the case of AC type; inactive state in the case of flasher units L

Time unit:

This is the time unit for the preset value. There are five possibilities:

Unit Symbol Form Maximum value
1/100 of a second 00.00 s 00.00 ss
1/10 of a second 000.0 s 00.00 s S
Minutes : SecondsM : S00 : 0099 : 99
Hour : MinuteH : M00 : 0099 : 99
Hours Only for type T.H0 000 h 9,999 h

Parameter lock:

Symbol of the Parameter Lock parameter:

SCHNEIDER SR3XT141BD - Parameter lock: - 1

Locked

SCHNEIDER SR3XT141BD - Parameter lock: - 2

Unlocked

Locking prevents the modification of locked parameters from the front panel of the smart relay via the PARAMETERS menu.

Latching:

By default, if a power outage occurs while a timer function block is running, the information on time already elapsed is lost. When the supply voltage returns, the time function block is reinitialized and ready for a new operating cycle.

If the application requires it, the time elapsed before the power outage can be memorized using the Latching parameter.

Symbol of the Latching parameter:

SCHNEIDER SR3XT141BD - Latching: - 1

Active

SCHNEIDER SR3XT141BD - Latching: - 2

Inactive

This function is used to save the timer values and memorize the elapsed time in the event of a power outage.

Modifying the State of a Coil or a Contact

To modify the type of a coil or a contact from the front panel of the smart relay (the programming window displayed on screen): \- Position the cursor on the symbol representing the coil type or on the letter of the contact, - Scroll through the possible coil or contact types (T for a normally open contact, t for a normally closed contact). For more details, refer to Method for Entering a Contact or Coil (see page 47).

Initialization

State of the contacts and values on initialization of the program: - The normally open (direct state) is inactive, - the normally closed (inverse state) is active, - the value(s) is (are) zero(s).

Example 1

Creating a timer device for a stairway. The stairway light should remain on for two minutes and thirty seconds when one of the push buttons is activated. On each floor, the buttons are linked to the I1 input of the smart relay. The stairway light is linked to the Q4 output of the smart relay. You would write the following program: ![](images/0c4d2af0579fe41af225d5cfacce3cd3f01a981249c30a9cf2c7e40a59818079.jpg) To obtain the desired operation, you should use a type B timer (On pulse one shot), and configure the duration of the timer for 2 minutes 30 seconds. To thus configure the timer duration, choose the time units M : S and enter the value 02:30 for the preset value t. Illustration: Timer's configuration screen: ![](images/168e6b5552338b01a73dbb64b86ad7dd3107e4b240e859a3294628674a720840.jpg)

Counters

Description

The Counters function is used to upcount or downcount pulses. The smart relay has either 28 counters, or 16 counters if an SR2COM01 communication interface has been selected in the configuration. They are numbered from 1...9 then from A...V (I, M, O are not used). NOTE: The maximum number of counters also depends on the firmware version (see page 186). The Counters function can be reset to zero or to the preset value (depending on the chosen parameter) during use. It may be used as a contact to find out whether: - The preset value has been reached (upcounting TO), - The counter has reached 0 (downcounting FROM).

Use of Coils

Each timer has 3 associated coils: - Coil CC: Counting Pulse Input, - Coil RC: Reset Initial Counter State Input, - Coil DC: Counting Direction input. The use of these coils is described below. Counting pulse input: Symbol of the Counting Pulse Input coil of a timer: ![](images/2beb9f0f999ff95e68e1619d05893a617dece2beb524c218ca51cd8a6112be5c.jpg) When used as a coil in a control diagram, this element represents a counting input for the function. Every time the coil is energized, the counter is incremented or decremented by 1 according to the counting direction chosen. Example: Input counting pulses delivered by counter no. 1. ![](images/5994e964cc07fadda48760c1ddd7536972ad118d84a10380cdb31ae80e1c3009.jpg) Every time input I1 is energized, the counter no. 1 is incremented by 1. Reset Initial Counter State input: Symbol of the Reset Initial Counter State Input coil: ![](images/c1e5ea9fa076b167f2212231bef2c35d8bb74699fb7b232f01ff5d38aa96ab4d.jpg) When used as a coil in a control diagram, this element represents an input that resets the counting function to its initial state. Energizing the coil has the following effect: - Reset the count value to zero if the count type is TO (upcounting to the preset value), - Reset the value to the preset value if the count type is FROM (downcounting from the preset value). Example: Counter no. 1 reset to zero by pressing Z1 key. ![](images/f82796de235e564da81dadcf015eab130a16202b8f9e6dc52beb63674b5677af.jpg) Every time key Z1 is pressed, the counter starts from 0. Counting direction input: Symbol of the Counting Direction Input coil of a timer: ![](images/abb63215614f18bb615dcaba1b707e28c541d7aaf4f3243dacbf96c18ffd33cf.jpg) This input determines the counting direction according to its status: - It downcounts if the coil is energized, - It upcounts if the coil is not energized. NOTE: By default, if this input is not wired, the function upcounts. Example: Up/downcounts, depending on the status of smart relay input I2. ![](images/f779387d51a379e989b982f7782748fa6bf17dad5eb43fd1f33a3170af72eeb6.jpg) If the I2 input is active, the function downcounts.

Use as a Contact

The contact associated with the counter indicates whether the preset value (TO) or zero (FROM) has been reached. It may be used as many times as necessary in the program either as normally open or as normally closed: Normally open: Symbol of the normally open contact associated with a counter: ![](images/e918c365e848dff6ce6165cb43b05975439c8a0aebca46f6e9ddc48a0dc86cbb.jpg) The contact is conducting when: - The counter value has reached the preset value, if the counter is upcounting (TO). - The counter value is equal to 0, if the counter is downcounting (FROM).

Normally closed:

Symbol of the normally closed contact associated with a counter: ![](images/ca49aee507a629954014e360a9864f983deca7aa3ef6c25f8c3cd5eca05c7d42.jpg) The contact is conducting as long as: - The counter value has not reached the preset value, if the counter is upcounting (TO). - The counter value is not equal to 0 if the counter is downcounting (FROM). Example: Lighting a LED connected to counter no. 1 output (TO). ![](images/904fb79877fd417ff9340f7324be56b2b923d5fcccee9dd26c70b6779227a61a.jpg) When the preset value has been reached: The LED is illuminated; otherwise it is off.

Configuration from Front Panel

The block parameter settings can be accessed either when entering the command line or from the PARAMETERS menu if the block has not been padlocked. The parameters to enter are the following: - Type of counting, - Preset value, - Parameter lock, - Latching.

Type of counting:

Symbol of the type of counting parameter: ![](images/f66f69cf54dcc7a8a42fa76448a21faec7fcd1478e05c1b0cc5874b93f6db792.jpg) This parameter is used to select the type of the counter: • TO: upcounting towards the preset value. When the counter value is equal to the preset value, contact C of the counter is conducting. - FROM: downcounting from the preset value. When the counter value equals 0, counter contact C is conducting.

Preset value:

Symbol of the preset value parameter: ![](images/b8f6f878eb0fe6cb2654d82be78a6c0648c826ecf20329d4a2e68c15c033c23b.jpg) This value is between 0 and 32,767, and represents: - The value to reach when counting to the preset value (TO), - The initial value when downcounting from the preset value (FROM).

Parameter lock:

Symbol of the Parameter lock parameter: ![](images/ce87cb23201bc5b52d9826d053f628e6a5788b69e83e425139bf5b8dbf70bbcf.jpg) Locked ![](images/cfd599ba076c3e83983a956bf71ae044c711b4e6abacf2212b92885e71a04ce3.jpg) Unlocked Locking prevents the modification of locked parameters from the front panel of the smart relay via the PARAMETERS menu.

Latching:

Symbol of the Latching parameter: ![](images/b1e41abd6830c150aa55da2fc8a7247d6573058c3fee63717ea6694a8fb41faf.jpg) Active ![](images/807a060f5257438d814eb5f58b979c26ee96fb2b1b00bb784dc9ff34d8b59f3c.jpg) Inactive This function is used to save the status of the counter values in the event of a power outage.

Counter Value

The counter value is the value at a given time resulting from the successive up/down counting actions that have occurred since the last time the counter was reset to its initial state. This value is between 0 and 32767. Once these limits have been reached, a downcount will leave the value 0 and an upcount will leave the value at +32767.

Timing Diagrams

In the timing diagrams, the blue curves represent the value of the counter: The following figure shows the operation of the counter when upcounting (TO) toward the preset value: ![](images/28431b33ad7f520580e770292258f20a557407492b5a584d8b9df79acb40b10d.jpg)

Modifying the State of a Coil or a Contact

To modify the type of a coil or a contact from the front panel of the smart relay (the programming window displayed on screen): - Position the cursor on the symbol representing the coil type or on the letter of the contact, - Scroll through the possible coil or contact types (C for a normally open contact, c for a normally closed contact). For more details, refer to Method for Entering a Contact or Coil (see page 47).

Initialization

Status of the contacts and value on initialization of the program: - The normally open (direct state) is inactive, - The normally closed (inverse state) is active, - The value is zero.

Examples

Below, three examples of the use of a counter:
Screen Description
SCHNEIDER SR3XT141BD - Examples - 1Upcounting and zero resetting:The counter is incremented each time input I1 is activated.The counter is reset each time input I2 is activated.
SCHNEIDER SR3XT141BD - Examples - 2Downcounting and Resetting:The counter is decremented each time input I1 is activated.The counter is reset each time the I2 input is activated.

Fast Counter

Description

The Fast Counter function is used to count pulses up to a frequency of 1 kHz. Use of the K1 contact indicates: - The preset value has been reached (upcounting), - The value 0 has been reached (downcounting). The Fast counter inputs are implicitly connected to the I1 and I2 smart relay inputs: - A pulse (rising edge) on the I1 input increments the counter, - A pulse (rising edge) on the I2 input decrements the counter. These inputs cannot be used in any other context. The Fast Counter function can be reset to zero during use by the RK1 coil. It is reset to: - 0 if it is upcounting towards the preset value - the preset value if it is downcounting from the preset value. The counter only operates if the TK1 confirmation coil is active. Repetitive cycle type can be used with a time-delay value. NOTE: Limit overrun: - If the value of the counter exceeds the upper limit: +32,767, it is set to -32,768, - if the value of the counter exceeds the lower limit: -32,768, it is set to +32,767. NOTE: This function block cannot be simulated.

Use of Coils

Two coils are associated with the fast counter: • coil TK1: Enable function input, - coil RK1: Reset initial counter state input. The use of these coils is described below. Enable function input: Symbol of the Enable Function Input coil of the fast counter: TK1 This element is used to confirm the counter. When this coil is active, each rising edge on the I1 input will increment the Fast counter and each rising edge on the I2 input will decrement it. Reset initial counter state input: Symbol of the Reset Initial Counter State Input: RK1 This input resets the counter function to its initial state. Energizing the coil has the following effect: \- reset the counter value to zero if the count type is TO (upcounting to the preset value). \- reset the counter value to the preset value if the count type is FROM (downcounting from the preset value). Example: Counter reset by pressing on the Z1 key: Z1——RK1 Each time the Z1 key is pressed, the counter is reinitialized.

Use as a Contact

The contact associated with the fast counter indicates whether the preset value (TO) or zero (FROM) has been reached. It may be used as many times as necessary in the program either as normally open or as normally closed: Normally open: Symbol of the normally open contact associated with the fast counter: K1 The contact is conducting when: \- the value of the counter has reached the preset value (TO), \- the value of the counter has reached 0 (FROM). Normally closed: Symbol of the normally closed contact associated with the fast counter: k1 The contact is conducting as long as: \- the counter value has not reached the preset value, if the counter is upcounting, \- the counter value has not reached 0, if the counter is downcounting, Example: Lighting a LED connected to fast counter no. 1 output (TO). ![](images/4374d44bf8a5a08fd7f7ddcdfa45da43d90dc201f1e4d3ac6190e93079897066.jpg) When the preset value has been reached: The LED is illuminated; otherwise it is off.

Configuration from Front Panel

The block parameter settings can be accessed either when entering the command line or from the PARAMETERS menu if the block has not been padlocked. The parameters to enter are the following: - Cycle type, • Duration of pulse, - Preset value, - Type of counting, - Parameter lock, - Latching.

Cycle type:

This parameter determines the behavior of the fast counter when it reaches the preset value (when upcounting TO), or when it reaches the value zero (when downcounting FROM): The cycle type may be: - Single: Reaching the preset value (when upcounting TO) or the zero value (when downcounting FROM) does not affect the value of the counter. The counter value changes on an on-going basis. The output is activated when the value is greater than the preset value (when upcounting TO) or when it is less than the preset value (when downcounting FROM). - Repetitive: when upcounting TO, the value is reinitialized when it reaches the preset value and when downcounting FROM, it is reset to the preset value when it reaches zero. The output is enabled following this reinitialization and remains active for a time that may be configured with the parameter: Duration of pulse (from 1 to 32,767 times 100 ms).

Duration of pulse:

Symbol of the Duration of pulse parameter: ![](images/15f6e4e7598d1ec9acc0b5f8b75bc4611ba2be9611a0e1c269741921fbccb04b.jpg) This parameter is only displayed if the cycle is repetitive. It determines the duration during which the fast counter remains active when the value reaches the preset value (when upcounting TO), or when it reaches the value zero (when downcounting FROM). This value must be between 1 and 32,767 (x 100 ms). Preset value: Symbol of the Preset value parameter: ![](images/b7c47742be05fafd69f9b846dd954c021f299e48088c02c4087c6a0962028969.jpg) This value is between 0 and 32,767, and represents: - the value to reach when upcounting to the preset value (TO), - the initial value when downcounting from the preset value (FROM). Type of counting: Symbol of the Type of counting parameter: ![](images/37fe71707442cbbcb6bf98f906f20abfbe5d81ef7ff543203b9c8cf9a63a9965.jpg) This parameter is used to select the type of the counter: • TO: upcounting towards the preset value.

Analog Comparators

Description

The Analog Comparators function block is used to: - Compare a measured analog value with a reference value. - Compare two measured analog values. - Compare two measured analog values with hysteresis parameter. The result of this comparison is used in the form of a contact. Analog automation functions can be used for smart relays with a real time clock and DC power supply, and with mixed discrete and analog inputs. The following indicate the existence of mixed discrete and analog inputs: - The existence of inputs numbered from IB to IG (maximum configuration). These inputs are used to receive analog signals from 0.0 V to 9.9 V inclusively. - The presence of the Analog Comparators function in the toolbar of the programming software. These smart relays have 16 Analog Comparators function blocks, numbered from 1 to 9 then from A to G.

Use as a Contact

The contact shows the position of a measured analog value in relation to a reference value or to another measured value. It may be used as many times as necessary in the program either as normally open or as normally closed: Normally open: Symbol of the normally open contact associated with an Analog Comparator: ![](images/96e5b00a7b49a9d0f8a27f18affc69475449d8758dc43e5e39c9422f955d2bee.jpg) The contact is conducting when the comparison condition is verified.

Modifying the State of a Coil or a Contact

To modify a contact from the front panel of the smart relay (the programming window is displayed on the screen): - Place the cursor over the letter of the contact, - Scroll through the possible contact types (A for a normally open contact, a for a normally closed contact). For more details, refer to Method for Entering a Contact or Coil (see page 47).

Initialization

Status of the contacts and value on initialization of the program: - The normally open (direct state) is inactive, - The normally closed (inverse state) is active.

Example

A heating resistance is to be triggered by the smart relay Q1 output when the temperature is below 20^ C. A temperature probe is used, providing a 0 to 10 volt signal for a -10^ to +40^ C temperature range. A temperature of 20^ C corresponds to a voltage level of 6 volts on the probe. You would write the following Ladder program: ![](images/0ac0562431e8f99649469760ba56005a8269e787dc51d8bde0e47a63bae8e580.jpg) Using the following parameters for the A1 comparator: ![](images/63f0f7273c80c700cac10311aeb69be325ebcd199e78d4f4c76ff5114a670661.jpg) The comparison operator 5 is chosen, that is “inferior or equal to”. The values to compare are chosen: The analog input IB (to which the temperature probe is connected) for the first, the reference value R for the second. The reference value is set to 6. The analog comparator is thus active when the power measured on the analog input IB is less than or equal to 6 V. This is when the probe measures a temperature less than or equal to 20 °C.

Clocks

Description

Use the Clocks function to validate the time ranges during which actions can be executed. The smart relay has 8 Clocks function blocks numbered from 1...8. Each of these has four programming ranges and behaves like a weekly programmer. The Clocks function blocks are used like contacts.

Use as a Contact

This contact may use the direct state of the Clock function block (normally open contact) or its inverse state (normally closed contact), see below. Normally open: Symbol of the normally open contact, representing a clock: ![](images/ab8b84b185410025758c1ae345a5be2b2c8f66982ebc3be9cfa3e2fd3b8cb1e7.jpg) ![](images/5cfb2bd87549607690618af333d8c1bffa9c20b10e625461a153ee3c725391df.jpg) The contact is conducting when the clock is in a validity period. Normally closed: Symbol of the normally closed contact, representing a clock: ![](images/8919b93e847e02b2246d6c012aa3a93a4ee7fe7f8a95ab89710b546e56b85eb1.jpg) ![](images/85b447d7217e1a589b42a0d811270b18c24f7fc1f7cf64c4d196e854ef282c7f.jpg) The contact is conducting when the clock is not in a validity period.

7Operating ranges 4 operating ranges are available: A, B, C, D.In operation, these ranges are cumulative: The block is valid over the selected ranges.
If the clock is set to ON on Monday at 23:00 and set to OFF on Monday at 1:00, then it does not change to OFF on Tuesday at 1:00 but effectively on the following Monday at 1:00. Moreover, if no other command has been made, the clock remains positioned at ON all other days of the week.

Combining Operating Ranges

Operating ranges can be mixed for the same clock. Example: Using the four operating ranges with different settings.
Operating range Program
A: time rangeEvery day from Monday to Friday, start at 8.00 and end at 18.00.
B: Day/NightEvery day from Tuesday to Thursday: start at 22.00 and end the following day at 6.00.
C: intervalStart on Friday at 20.00.
D: IntervalEnd on Monday at 03.00.

Modifying the State of a Coil or a Contact

To modify the type of a coil or a contact from the front panel of the smart relay (the programming window displayed on screen): - Place the cursor over the letter of the contact, - Scroll through the possible contact types (H for a normally open contact, h for a normally closed contact). For more details, refer to Method for Entering a Contact or Coil (see page 47).

Example

You wish to control a device connected to the Q2 output of the smart relay. You want it to be active on the following two clock ranges: • from Monday to Saturday, from 09:00 to 13:00. • from Monday to Friday, from 15:00 to 19:00. For this, the H1 Clock block is used and the following wiring sheet is created: H1----[Q2 When entering the H1, Clock block, configure the operational ranges A and B as described in the table below:
SCHNEIDER SR3XT141BD - Example - 1First Slot A: From Monday to Saturday, from 09:00 to 13:00.
SCHNEIDER SR3XT141BD - Example - 2Second Slot B: From Monday to Friday, from 15:00 to 19:00.

TEXT

Description

The TEXT function is used to display text, a date, a time, and numerical values on the LCD display, instead of the inputs-outputs states. One single TEXT function block is used to define the content of the entire LCD display. The content can be a combination of: • Text (maximum 72 characters), - Numerical values corresponding to the output of a function used in the application (for example a counter). These values can include a decimal point. - Date, time or calibration value from the Clocks function. It is possible to authorize the modification of the content using the keys on the front panel. The smart relays have 16 TEXT blocks, numbered from 1...9 then from A to G. These function blocks are used as coils. The maximum number of variables that can be displayed per TEXT block is 4. Up to 16 TEXT blocks may be used (TX1 to TXG) simultaneously in one program, but only the block which is activated is displayed. If multiple blocks are activated, the block with the highest number is displayed. To switch the display from the TEXT screen to the INPUTS-OUTPUTS screen, hold down the Shift key, then press the Menu/OK key. NOTE: The TEXT blocks are only programmable from the programming software.

Used as a Coil

Two coils are associated with each TEXT block: - Display Activation coil. - Display Deactivation coil. The use of these coils is described below. Display Activation Symbol of the Display Activation coil of a TEXT function block: TX - This coil displays on the screen the text and/or the values of the associated TEXT block when the elements that are connected are conducting. Display Deactivation Symbol of the Display Deactivation coil of a TEXT function block: RX - This coil deactivates the display of the text and/or the values of the associated TEXT block when the elements that are connected are conducting. The display returns to the inputs-outputs screen. Example: ![](images/89d67452947517eae7a3a7b5228a467bb55cfef87adcb90691c8066a394a4eee.jpg) Activation of input I1 displays the text on the LCD. Activating input I2 makes the text disappear.

Parameter

The TEXT function blocks are only programmable from the programming software, see the on-line help for the programming software for more information.

LCD Screen Backlighting

Description

The LCD screen backlighting output is used to control the backlighting of the LCD by a program. In STOP and RUN modes, the LCD screen is illuminated for 30 seconds when a key is pressed on the front panel.

Used as a Coil

Used as a coil, it illuminates the LCD when the elements to which it is connected are conducting. Symbol of the coil of the LCD screen Backlighting function: TL1 The screen is illuminated if this coil is active.

Change to Summer / Winter Time

Description

The output of this function is in an OFF state over the entire duration of winter time, and switches to ON for the entire duration of summer time. By default, there is no change in winter / summer time. This function must be activated, either from the programming software, or from the front panel of the smart relay. To activate this function from the front panel of the smart relay, proceed as described in chapter CHANGE SUM/WIN Menu (see page 85). NOTE: This function is only available for smart modules that contain a real-time clock.

Use as a Contact

When used as a contact, this element indicates winter time or summer time. It may be used as many times as necessary in the program either as normally open or as normally closed: Normally open: Symbol of the normally open contact associated with a Change summer / winter time function block: W1 The contact is active for the entire duration of summer time. Normally closed: Symbol of the normally closed contact associated with a Change summer/winter time function block w 1 The contact is active for the entire duration of winter time.

Parameters

The following settings are possible: - No: no change, - Automatic change: Dates are preset according to geographic zone: - EUROPE: Europe, USA. \- OTHER ZONE: The change is automatic, but you must specify the month: M and the Sunday: S (1, 2, 3, 4 or 5) on which the summer/winter change takes place.

Modifying the State of a Coil or a Contact

To modify a contact from the front panel of the smart relay (the programming window displayed on screen): - Place the cursor over the letter of the contact, - Scroll through the possible contact types (W for a normally open contact, w for a normally closed contact).

Modbus Inputs/Outputs

Description

A Modbus SR3MBU01BD extension module may be added onto an extensible smart relay. In LD mode, the application cannot access the four 16-bit data exchange words. Data transfer between master and slave is implicit and transparent. NOTE: The Modbus module only operates as Modbus slave.

Parameters

The Modbus module can be configured only from the programming software (see the on-line help of the programming software for more information).

Words to be sent to master

Writing these words to the master is automatically performed by duplication of the status of the discrete I/Os as follows: ![](images/2304e72e151b8c6af9d7b8ba72e8f497a5fa7b1e6f76d24ef3c0a47e128cf1a9.jpg) I1 to IG: discrete input states for the SR3B261BD base. IH to IR: discrete input states for the SR3XT141BD extension. Q1 to QA: discrete output states for the SR3B261BD base. QB to QG: discrete output states for the SR3XT141BD extension.

Words sent by the master

The words sent by the master are not implicitly operated on by the smart relay. These 4 16-bit words have the following addresses (Hexa): 0x0010 / 0x0011 / 0x0012 / 0x0013.

Message

Description

When activated, the Message function block can be used to: - Send alarm messages to mobile phones, the Zelio Logic Alarm tool or Email addresses via the SR2COM01 communication interface - Provide remote access to I/O and/or a digital variable for reading or modifying them. There are 28 Message function blocks numbered from S1...S9, then from SA...SV (SI, SM, SO are not used). NOTE: The Message function is only available on smart relays with clocks and when an SR2COM01 communication interface is added. For further information on the configuration of the SR2COM01 communication interface, see the programming software on-line help.

Use of the Coil

Command input Symbol of the Command Input coil of a Message function block: TS- This coil sends the configured alarm message in the associated Message function block, when it is activated. Depending on the configuration of the Message function block, the coil may be activated during detection on its input, by a transition: \- From Inactive to Active State (by default), \- From Active to Inactive State. See on-line help for the programming software for more information on configuring the Message function block.

Use as a Contact

The contact associated with the Message function block indicates whether the function block is activated. It may be used as many times as necessary in the program either as normally open or as normally closed: Normally open: Symbol of the normally open contact associated with a Message function block: S- The contact is conducting when the function block is activated.

Normally closed:

Symbol of the normally closed contact associated with a Message function block: ![](images/6332019dcb9d4805e03c6517165cf3f703e4482faff04d3cad2e1314627a195c.jpg) The contact is conducting as long as the function block is not activated. Example: Illuminating an LED connected to the Message No.1 function block output ![](images/73f7bdb99544f2951fd2262fe54974f814859547580044d4ba89e337ced063c9.jpg) When function block no. 1 is activated, the associated alarm message is sent and the LED is illuminated, otherwise it is off.

Presentation of Ladder Diagrams

Description

In this section, we will use an example to understand how a ladder diagram works for a two-way switch.
Electrical diagram Ladder diagram
SCHNEIDER SR3XT141BD - Description - 1SCHNEIDER SR3XT141BD - Description - 2
The two position switches VV1 and VV2 control turning lamp L1 on and off.I1 and I2 are two contacts representing inputs 1 and 2 on the smart relay.Q1 is a coil that corresponds to output 1 from the smart relay.

Module Wiring

Below, an illustration of smart relay wiring: ![](images/cf8ede461d47c34b264048b2d8510ace0c010aeb6c065432919555ac81df1155.jpg)

Application Operation

Using a smart relay means that ordinary switches (with open or closed positions) can be used in place of two position switches. The switches are identified as S1 and S2 in the wiring diagram above. S1 and S2 are connected to inputs I1 and I2 on the smart relay. The operating principle is as follows: Each time the status of inputs I1 and I2 changes, the status of output Q1 also changes which controls the lamp L1. The ladder diagram uses simple functions, for example placing contacts in parallel and in series, as well as the reverse function identified as i1 and i2 (see Using the Reverse Function, page 148). NOTE: The implementation of a two-way switch is optimum when impulse relay coils are used (see Discrete Outputs, page 98).

Using the Reverse Function

Description

The reverse function, noted i in the smart relay is used to obtain the reverse state of input I wired on the smart relay.

Practical Example

Below is the electrical diagram of the example and an illustration of the smart relay wiring:
Electrical diagramConnection to the smart relay
BP1 L1⊗ L1Fuse 2 Fuse 1 100 ... 240 VAC 50 / 60 Hz N PB1 L N I1 I2 I3 I4 I5 I6 I7 I8 OUTPUTS Q1 ... Q4: Relay 8A 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 L1
BP1(or PB1) pushbutton L1 LED
Depending on the ladder diagram, two solutions are possible:
Ladder diagram 1: Light off when idle Ladder diagram 2: Light on when idle
I1----[Q]i1----[Q]
I1 corresponds to the image of BP1, pressing BP1 activates input I1, so that the Q1 output is activated and the lamp L1 is illuminated.i1 corresponds to the reverse image of BP1, pressing BP1 activates input I1 and therefore contact i1 is disabled, output Q1 is disabled and the lamp L1 is not illuminated.

General Case

The table below illustrates the operation of a pushbutton connected to the smart relay. Pushbutton BP1 is connected to input I1 and lamp L1 is connected to output Q1 on the smart relay.

Introduction

Smart Relay Module in RUN Mode

Once an application has been entered in ladder diagram form, debugging tests must be run. The first step is to set the smart relay to RUN. To do this, in the RUN/STOP option in main menu and select RUN. From this moment on, the smart relay handles the physical inputs and outputs according to the instructions entered in the ladder diagram.

Viewing Status:

In RUN mode, the states of inputs and outputs are displayed on the main screen: ![](images/619e4222ae23226b544b0c6913a45491390db6c751e2f4d368ecf24c376d788f.jpg)

3 Indicates that the smart relay is connected to the programming software.
4 The key indicates that the program is password-protected.

Run Mode Ladder Diagrams

Viewing Ladder Diagrams

NOTE: Viewing I/O and variable values can be accessed only in LD/ RUN mode. The smart relay can dynamically display the performance of a ladder diagram. To do this, simply call up the MONITORING menu and position the cursor over the lines to display using the navigation keys. Each conducting contact or energized coil is displayed in reverse video (white on black): ![](images/8cb74d7ee1c8951752e1b219342929d6badc4981b63e6e8bd9fe9be894724254.jpg)

Modifying Ladder Diagrams

You cannot modify the ladder diagram lines in RUN mode. However, you can modify some of the function block parameters in the MONITORING menu.

Using Z Keys as Pushbuttons

On the INPUTS-OUTPUTS screen in RUN mode, the numbers of the Z keys used in the program are displayed in the contextual menu. Press and hold down the Shift key to display the contextual menu. To enable a Z key, press on the key located under the number. Illustration: ![](images/3c70d756c42fa8472c388020ead393f16519aed22fac7f3a02d99c14f442480f.jpg) NOTE: The Zx keys function is disabled in the PARAMETERS and MONITORING menus and in the function block parameter screens and configuration screens.

Run Mode Function Block Parameters

Presentation

In RUN mode a function block preset value may be changed dynamically if it is not locked. Functions with parameters in LD mode: • Auxiliary relays (latching), - Clocks - Analog comparators, - Timers - Counters - Fast counters. \- Discrete Outputs (latching), Functions with parameters in FBD mode: • Numerical constant-type inputs, - Clock, - Gain, - Timers: TIMER A/C, TIMER B/H, TIMER Li, - Counter: PRESET COUNT / UP DOWN COUNT, • H-SPEED COUNT fast counter, - PRESET H-METER hour counter, - CAM block, - PID.

Accessing / Modifying parameters

Smart Relay Reaction to a Power Outage

Description

A power outage may cause the smart relay to restart and lose any data not declared as non-volatile. Smart relays have the ability to maintain the time for at least 10 years. In addition, it is also possible to back up the variables configured with the Latching option defined in the parameters window.

Latching

The Latching function is used to save the counter values in the event of a power outage. The blocks that have this function are the following: \- In LD mode: o Auxiliary relays, ○ Discrete outputs, ○ Timers o Counters - Fast counter, \- In FBD mode: ○ AC, BH, Li timer, - Cam programmer function CAM BLOCK, o PRESET COUNT, UP DOWN COUNT counter, ○ PRESET H-METER hour counter, ○ Data archiving function ARCHIVE, - Fast counters.

Locked Coil Control

If the result of losing the time setting is to lock coil control, then simply use a clock contact without a stop order in series with the action coils. Example of a non-locked coil: ![](images/9432893f74cd1692e3902726a25654e698c26df52aa0e332582b5e13749980b1.jpg) The contact line for coil Q1 will be active even if the time and date setting is lost. Example of a locked coil: ![](images/9054e092790ac67ad410ef0b64c282c5d02297ce6ccad85d9dce4c007ca0f656.jpg) With the clock function block 1 configured as follows: ![](images/86bbef30d6875fdde4b9c26f00172a901f845f5bb97f5fc53b71db04657cf829.jpg) The contact line for coil Q2 will only be active after setting the clock.

Chapter 19

Transfer of Ladder Diagrams

Transferring Ladder Diagrams

Description

It is possible to transfer a ladder diagram from the smart relay toward a backup memory (optional) and vice-versa. This allows: - To backup an application, then restore it, if necessary, - To make a copy of an application for loading it in other smart relays.

Transferring an Application

Transferring an application from a smart relay to the backup memory, or from the backup memory to the smart relay, is performed using the menu: TRANSFER. The procedure is described in detail in the chapter TRANSFER Menu, see TRANSFER Menu, page 71.

Chapter 20

Sample Application

Subject of this Chapter

In this chapter we'll use the example of an underground car park control. From given specifications, we will develop the application to program in the smart relay.

What Is in This Chapter?

This chapter contains the following topics:
Topic Page
Specifications 170
Specification Analysis 171
Implementing the Solution 173

Specifications

Objective

We wish to centralize the control of the underground car park of an administrative building.

Automatic Gate

The entrance and the exit of the car park are controlled by an ordinary automatic gate. The gate has the usual features such as: - Gate timing (opening and closing) by passing vehicles, - External control for locking in closed position, etc.

Counting Vehicles

In addition, we would like to keep track of vehicles parked in the facility. We would be able to control a lighted panel that informs drivers when all parking spaces are occupied and prevents access by locking the gate in the closed position. It must also be possible to override this function when necessary to allow access for emergency services (fire department, emergency medical service, etc.).

Open Time

We would also like to prevent access to the facility when the building is closed. Authorized personnel should be allowed to prevent the gate from locking in extraordinary circumstances. The hours of opening are the following: Monday to Friday from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm, Saturday from 9:30 am to 12:00 pm and closed on Sundays.

Removal of Gasses

It is also necessary to remove carbon dioxide by using a fan when the measured concentration levels exceed permissible levels. A specialized sensor will be used that provides an output value between 0 and 10V.

Lighting

There is also a requirement to control lighting, triggered by a vehicle arriving and via pushbutton switches placed near the pedestrian access points. To save energy, lights will turn off after 10 minutes.

Manual Counting

In addition, we need to manually provide information on the number of vehicles parked in the facility. We need to be able to manually increase or decrease the number of vehicles counted by the smart relay.

Specification Analysis

Description

Analysis of the specifications includes listing inputs, keys, outputs and function blocks necessary to prepare the application.

Inputs

Below is the list of inputs that the application will use:
Inputs Description
Input I1 Vehicle entry detection.
Input I2 Vehicle exit detection.
Inputs I3 and I4Pushbuttons at pedestrian access points. They are used to illuminate the facility. One for the elevator and one for the stairway (no pedestrian access is allowed via the vehicle entrance).
Analog input IB CO _2 level sensor.

Function keys

Below is the list of keys that the application will use:
Function keys Description
Function key Z1Manually increments the number of vehicles in the car park.
Function key Z2 Resumes automatic entry control.
Function key Z3Manually decrements the number of vehicles in the car park.
Function key Z4Manually releases the entrance barrier.

Outputs

Below is the list of outputs that the application will use:
Outputs Description
Output Q1 Indicates when the car park facility is full.
Output Q2Locks the entry barrier (inhibits entry barrier opening) when the car park is full or outside of opening hours.
Output Q3 Lighting.
Output Q4Controls the polluted air extraction fan control.

Special function blocks

Below is the list of special function blocks that the application will use:
Special function blocks Description
Counter C1Counts the number of vehicles in the car park (93 maximum).
Clock function block H1 Manages car park access hours.
Timer function block T1 Lighting timer (10 minutes).
Analog function block A1Compares the CO2 level measured with the maximum threshold.The maximum threshold value corresponds to 8.5 Volts.
Timer function block T2 Fan timer (15 minutes).

Hardware Solution

To implement this solution, we use a smart relay with analog inputs, clock function blocks and at least 4 discrete inputs and outputs.

Implementing the Solution

Description

Presented here are the control diagrams to program, as well as the parameters to use for the function blocks.

Implementing the Ladder Diagram

Below is the control diagram to program: ![](images/01a99f7417279c5e5a9d69b327ad6cd22f926978db39f24b38e549d351014bd9.jpg)

2 Starting the lighting timer.
3 Starting the fan timer.
4 Handling the manual release function.
5 Outputs command: Car park full indicator, blocking the input, lighting the car park and running the extraction fan.
When upcounting and downcounting, the counter locks up when the car park becomes full (no spurious detection or counting actions take place if vehicles are allowed to enter by manual release). NOTE: For a given counter, the coils CC and DC should only appear once in a ladder diagram. In addition, output Q2 is activated when entry into the car park is not allowed. This leads to the use of an auxiliary relay to manually lock or unlock the access gate using the navigation keys.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Here below are the most frequently asked questions and their answers:
Question Answer
I cannot access some parameters.Refer to the documentation to find out whether these elements can be changed. Example of an element that cannot be changed: Counter function block counting direction. This element is only accessible by wiring in a ladder diagram line.
I still cannot access some parameters.To access the parameters, you must use the navigation keys and to position the cursor above them. The ▼ and ▲ are used to change these values. Then press Menu/OK to confirm the changes.
I cannot RUN my smart relay even though I enable the RUN/STOP option in the main menu using the Menu/OK key.Verify whether the error symbol is displayed in the contextual menu line. Remove the cause of the error in order to RUN the smart module.
I would like to change my diagram lines but the Menu/OK key no longer works.Ensure that the smart relay is stopped. Modifications in RUN mode are not allowed.
When I try to change my diagram lines, the smart relay shows me a screen with only line numbers (LINE No.). Have I lost my work?Not necessarily, this situation may occur when 4 consecutive blank lines have been inserted at the start of the ladder diagram or between the command lines.
I have a ladder diagram that uses the Z key (▼,▼,▲) for a pushbutton. I would like to test it but when I display the diagram dynamically, my Z key is no longer operational. Can I make it work?No this is impossible.
I generated a ladder diagram on a smart relay with a clock. Can I use a backup memory to transfer it to a smart relay without clock?No this is impossible.
When entering a ladder diagram, the clock function blocks do not appear when choosing the contacts. Is this normal?Verify whether the smart relay has a clock as the clock function block is only accessible for those references.
When entering a ladder diagram, the analog function blocks do not appear when choosing the contacts. Is this normal?Verify whether the smart relay has analog inputs as the analog function block is only accessible for those references.
I cannot use more than 120 ladder lines or I cannot use more than 16 Timers, counters, auxiliary relays.The firmware of your module is not up-to-date. It is not necessary to exchange your smart relay. You can update the firmware using Zelio soft (see Zelio Logic Programming Guide, ).

The section below describes the compatibility between the memory cartridges and the versions of the firmware on the smart relay.

Compatibility of the Memory Cartridge with the Version of the firmware

The table below describes the compatibility of the memory cartridges with the version of the firmware:
Type of memory cartridge Version of firmwarecompatible
SR2MEM01 LD Language: V2.19 or lower.FBD Language: V2.18 or lower.
SR2MEM02 V3.09 or higher.

Transferring a Program from the SR2MEM01 Memory Cartridge to the Smart Relay

In the case of a transfer of the program from the SR2MEM01 memory cartridge to the smart relay, compatibility is as follows:
Smart relay firmware language
LD FBD
Memory cartridge program languageLD Compatible if the versions of the memory cartridge and smart relay match.The LD firmware version must be transferred to the smart relay.
FBD The LD firmware version must be transferred to the smart relay.Compatible if the versions of the memory cartridge and smart relay match.

Transferring a Program from the SR2MEM02 Memory Cartridge to the Smart Relay

In the case of a transfer of the program from the SR2MEM02 memory cartridge to the smart relay, compatibility depends upon the firmware version of the smart relay that the program was loaded from, and the hardware version of the smart relay that the program is being transferred to: - If the memory cartridge was loaded from a smart relay using firmware version 4.04 or lower, then transfer is not compatible to smart relays with hardware version 1.0.08 or higher. - If the memory cartridge was loaded from a smart relay using firmware version 4.05 or higher, then transfer is compatible with all smart relays. For more information on how to check the firmware or hardware version, refer to the VERSION Menu (see page 75).
