Close/Open Switching Module Channels
Model 2701 User’s Manual
Relay closure count
The Model 2701 keeps an internal count of the number of times each module relay has
been closed. The total number of relay closures are stored in EEPROM on the card. This
count will help you determine if and when any relays require replacement (see module
contact life specifications).
Relay closures are counted only when a relay cycles from open to closed state. If you send
multiple close commands to the same channel without sending an open command, only
the first closure will be counted.
Relay closure count can only be read via remote operation. The commands are
summarized in Table 2-3. Details follow the table.
NOTE
The relay closure count can be reset to zero. For details, see the Model 2701
Service Manual, “Plug-in module relay closure count.”
