Upon startup of the relay, the main processor determines from an assessment of the modules installed in the chassis
which contact outputs are available and then presents the settings for only these outputs. Where the contact input is non-
latching, the settings are as shown.
An ID can be assigned to each contact output. The signal that can OPERATE a contact output can be any FlexLogic
operand (virtual output, element state, contact input, or virtual input). An additional FlexLogic operand can be used to
SEAL-IN the relay. Any change of state of a contact output can be logged as an Event if programmed to do so.
For example, the trip circuit current is monitored by providing a current threshold detector in series with some Form-A
contacts (see the trip circuit example in the Digital Elements section). The monitor sets a flag (see the specifications for
Form-A). The name of the FlexLogic operand set by the monitor, consists of the output relay designation, followed by the
name of the flag; for example,
Cont OP 1 IOn
.
In most breaker control circuits, the trip coil is connected in series with a breaker auxiliary contact used to interrupt current
flow after the breaker has tripped, to prevent damage to the less robust initiating contact. This can be done by monitoring
an auxiliary contact on the breaker which opens when the breaker has tripped, but this scheme is subject to incorrect
operation caused by differences in timing between breaker auxiliary contact change-of-state and interruption of current in
the trip circuit. The most dependable protection of the initiating contact is provided by directly measuring current in the
tripping circuit, and using this parameter to control resetting of the initiating relay. This scheme is often called trip seal-in.
This can be realized using the
Cont OP 1 IOn
FlexLogic operand to seal-in the contact output as follows:
CONTACT OUTPUT H1 ID
: “
Cont Op 1
"
OUTPUT H1 OPERATE
: any suitable FlexLogic operand
OUTPUT H1 SEAL-IN
: “
Cont Op 1 IOn
”
CONTACT OUTPUT H1 EVENTS
: “Enabled”

The latching output contacts are mechanically bi-stable and controlled by two separate (open and close) coils. As such
they retain their position even if the relay is not powered up. The relay recognizes all latching output contact cards and
populates the setting menu accordingly. On power up, the relay reads positions of the latching contacts from the hardware
before executing any other functions of the relay (such as protection and control features or FlexLogic).
