If this setting is "Enabled," every change in the contact input state triggers an event in
the event recorder.

The D90 has a chatter detection feature. When enabled, the IED monitors the number
of state changes that occur within a set duration. If this value exceeds a set value, then a
trouble condition is declared for the input and the
The input trouble alarm impacts relay functionality as follows:
• Automation logic operands — Operand state is blocked
• DNP 3.0 communications — Reporting of the input is blocked
• IEC 60870-5-104 communications — Reporting of the input is blocked
• IEC 61850 GSSE and IEC 61850 GOOSE — Reporting of the input is blocked
• Sequence of events recorder — Reporting of the input is blocked
The trouble condition resets if the input undergoes no state changes for a duration equal
to twice the chatter time setting.
