4.6.9 Set Fault Relays
Fault relay contacts activate for instrument or maintenance faults. Faults are associated with
an entire analyzer and not individual points.
Instrument faults indicate a loss of monitoring on one or more points.
l
Maintenance faults indicate the Vertex M system requires attention but is continuing to
l
monitor.
Note: The number of relays used for fault indication is configurable. See "Configure PLC" on
page 68 for more information.
Defining an analyzer for association with a relay is a four-step process:
1. Choose the relays to associate with an analyzer.
2. Choose Instrument, Maintenance, Both or None in the Change To... area.
3. Click the square representing the analyzer or analyzers to associate with the relay. The
square changes color to indicate the association.
4. Choose Accept to modify to the configuration profile. Choosing Cancel leaves the alarm
definition unchanged.
Repeat for all relays.
To verify a relay's assignment to analyzers, choose the contact. The associated analyzer
changes color.
Note: Number of card slots vary based on PLC configuration such as number of relay cards and
relays per card.
