DIGSI-5-QN0016: Altering binary input thresholds and LED colours

Binary input threshold

1 The Device Settings section provides the ability to set the global binary input voltage
threshold for all binary inputs to the relay.

2 It is possible to alter selected inputs differently using the Information Routing Matrix. Click
on the binary input label (e.g. 1.2), the Properties tab at the bottom of the screen will then
update showing the details of the selected binary input. The General/Settings section will
allow the threshold for that input to be changed.

 3 Note:
 Making a “global” threshold change using the Device Settings page will overwrite
any individual settings.
 If any individual thresholds are changed from the global setting, the Device Setting
page does not indicate this. Always use the ‘Hardware and Protocol’ page to
confirm the final threshold for each input.

LED colour
1 The 16 LED’s on the front panel of the main relay are dual colour, and can be programmed
to illuminate either red or green. LED’s on all expansion modules are only red.

The “on” colour of each dual colour LED’s is set via the Information Routing screen (default
is red). Click on the label (e.g. 1.1 area) of the selected LED. The Properties window will
show further details for that LED. The setting section will allow the choice of red or green
colour to be displayed when the LED is illuminated.

It is not possible to set the LED to alter colour based on status. You only have the choice via
the setting file of the single colour the LED will be when illuminated.
