Relay Functions Normally-open,
Normally-closed, Continuation Contacts
A contact is used to monitor the state of a reference. Whether the contact passes power
flow depends on the state or status of the reference being monitored and on the contact
type. A reference is ON if its state is 1; it is OFF if its state is 0.
Type of Contact
Display
Contact Passes Power to Right:
Normally Open
-| |-
When reference is ON.
Normally Closed
-|/|-
When reference is OFF.
Continuation Contact
<+>—
If the preceding continuation coil is set ON.
10.7.1.1
Normally Open Contact -| |-
A normally open contact acts as a switch that passes power flow if the associated
reference is ON (1).
10.7.1.2
Normally Closed Contact -|/|-
A normally closed contact acts as a switch that passes power flow if the associated
reference is OFF (0).
10.7.1.3
Example
The example shows a rung with 10 elements having nicknames from E1 to E10. Coil E10
is ON when reference E1, E2, E5, E6, and E9 are ON and references E3, E4, E7, and E8
are OFF.
