4.3.2 Battery Backed/ Latched Auxiliary Relays

There are a number of batter

y

backed or latched rela

y

s whose status is retained in batter

y

backed or EEPROM memor

y

. If a power failure should occur all output and

g

eneral purpose

rela

y

s are switched off. When operation is resumed the previous status of these rela

y

s is

restored.

The circuit shown on pa

g

e 4-3 is an example of a self retainin

g

circuit. Rela

y

M507 is activated

when X0 is turned ON. If X0 is turned OFF after the activation of M507, the ON status of M507

is self retained, i.e. the NO contact M507 drives the coil M507.

However, M507 is reset (turned OFF) when the input X1 is turned ON, i.e. the NC contact is

broken.

A SET and RST (reset) instruction can be used to retain the status of a rela
