Fault Relay Count
2 to 16 relays for fault indicators may be allocated.
Note: Set the number of fault relays before setting alarm relay definitions. If the number of fault
relays is changed, the current relay definitions become invalid and must be redefined.
When the number of fault relays is changed, Vertex M opens the Fault Relay Definition Change
dialog box. Choosing Yes shifts the alarm definitions, choosing No pads the alarm definitions.
Choose Cancel to return to the PLC configuration without changing the relay assignments.
Shift
Alarm relay definitions move down to fill the space created by fewer fault relays or move up to
accommodate the additional fault relays.
Changing the number of fault relays from 14 to 16 will cause the alarm relay assignments to
move two relays up. Card 5, relay 2 definition moves to card 5, relay 4; card 5, relay 3 moves to
card 5 relay 5; card 5 relay 15 moves to card 6, relay 1, etc.
Changing the number of fault relays from 16 to 14 moves relay assignment down by 2
positions. Card 5, relay 4 definition moves to card 5, relay 2; card 5, relay 5 moves to card 5
relay 3; card 6, relay 1 moves to card 5, relay 15, etc.
Pad
Padding leaves most alarm relay definitions unchanged. Some existing alarm definitions may
be overwritten or undefined relays may become available.
Changing the number of fault relays from 14 to 16 will cause the alarm definitions on card 3,
relay 14 and card 3, relay 15 to be overwritten by the fault relay assignments.
Changing the number of fault relays from 14 to 12 will result in two additional (and undefined)
alarm relays being available at card 3 relays 12 and 13. Existing relay definitions are not
moved.
