IDEC SmartRelay Manual ix

1 Getting started with IDEC
SmartRelay
Here's IDEC SmartRelay
IDEC SmartRelay is a universal logic module made by IDEC.
IDEC SmartRelay integrates
• Controls
• Operator and display panel with background lighting
• Power supply
• Interface for expansion modules
• Interface for the memory cartridge (card) and a PC cable
• Pre-configured standard functions, e.g. on- and off-de-
lays, current impulse relay and softkey.
• Timers
• Inputs, Outputs, Memory Markers
What IDEC SmartRelay can do for you
IDEC SmartRelay offers solutions for installation engineer-
ing (e.g. for stairway lighting, external lighting, sun blinds,
shutters, shop window lighting etc.), switch cabinet engi-
neering, as well as for mechanical and apparatus engineer-
ing (e.g. for gate control systems, air-conditioning systems,
or rainwater pumps etc.).
IDEC SmartRelay can also be implemented for special con-
trol systems in conservatories or greenhouses, for control
signal processing and, by connecting a communication mod-
ule (e.g.AS-Interface) for distributed local controlling of ma-
chines and processes.
Special versions without operator panel and display unit are
available for series production applications in small machine,
apparatus, switching cabinet and installation engineering.
Which devices are available?
IDEC SmartRelay Base is available in two voltage classes:
• Class 1 ≤ 24 V, i.e. 12 V DC, 24 V DC, 24 V AC
Class 2 > 24 V, i.e. 100...240 V AC/DC,
in the versions:
• With display: 8 inputs and 4 outputs.
• Without display ("IDEC SmartRelay Pure"): 8 inputs and
4 outputs.
1 IDEC SmartRelay Manual

Getting started with IDEC SmartRelay
Each version is integrated into 4 subunits (SU), is equipped

with an expansion interface and provides 36 pre-configured
standard and special function blocks for the creation of your
circuit program.
Which expansion modules are available?
• IDEC SmartRelay digital modules are available for oper-
ation with 12 V DC, 24 V AC/DC and 100...240 V AC/DC,
and are equipped with four inputs and four outputs.
• IDEC SmartRelay analog modules are available for oper-
ation with 24 V DC and with 12 V DC, and are equipped
with two analog inputs or two analog outputs.
The digital/analog modules are integrated in two subunits.
Each one is equipped with two expansion interfaces for con-
necting additional modules.
Which communication modules are available?
• IDEC SmartRelay communication module FL1B-CAS2,
which is described in more detail in a separate documen-
tation.
The communication module has four virtual inputs and
outputs, and acts as an interface between an AS-Inter-
face system and an IDEC SmartRelay system. The mod-
ule enables four data bits to be transferred from the IDEC
SmartRelay Base to the AS-Interface system and vice
versa.
IDEC SmartRelay Manual 2

It's your choice

The various IDEC SmartRelay Base versions and expansion
modules and communication modules offer you a highly flex-
ible and adaptive system to suit your specific tasks.
The IDEC SmartRelay system offers you many solutions
such as for simple automation tasks and even complex en-
gineering tasks involving its integration into a bus system
(e.g. communications module AS-interface.)
Note
IDEC SmartRelay Base may only be equipped with expansion mod-
ules of the same voltage class. Mechanical encoding pins in the
housing prevent you from connecting devices of a different voltage
class.
Exception: The left-hand interface of an analog module or commu-

nication module is galvanically isolated. This type of expansion
module can therefore be connected to devices of a different voltage
class. See also Chapter 2.1.
Each IDEC SmartRelay Base provides the following connections

for the creation of the circuit program, regardless of the number of
connected modules:
• Inputs I1 to I24
• Analog inputs AI1 to AI8
• Outputs Q1 to Q16
• Analog outputs AQ1 and AQ2
• Memory Markers M1 to M24, M8: Startup Markers
• Analog Memory Markers AM1 to AM6
• Shift register bits S1 to S8
• 4 Cursor keys
• 16 Blank outputs X1 to X16.

2 IDEC SmartRelay installation and
wiring
General guidelines
Please note the following guidelines for the installation and
wiring of your IDEC SmartRelay :
• Always ensure that the wiring of your IDEC SmartRelay is
compliant with current rules and standards. Also, conform
with all national and regional regulations when you install
and operate the devices. For information on standards
and regulations that apply to your specific case, contact
your local authorities.
• Always switch off power before you wire or install/remove
a module.
• Always use cables with an appropriate conductor
cross-sections for the relevant current. You can wire the
IDEC SmartRelay with cable conductor cross-sections
from 1.5 mm2 to 2.5 mm2; see Chapter 2.3.
• Do not exceed the screw torque of the terminals. The
maximum torque is: 0.5 Nm, see Chapter 2.3.
• Keep the cabling as short as possible. If longer cables are
necessary, you should use shielded versions. You should
always route your cables in pairs: i.e. one neutral conduc-
tor plus one phase conductor or signal line.
• Always keep separate:
- The AC wiring
- High-voltage DC circuits with high-frequency switching
cycles
- Low-voltage signal wiring.
- The EIB bus cable may also be laid in parallel to other
signal lines.
• Ensure that the wires are installed with an appropriate
strain relief.
• Provide a suitable lightning surge arrester for cables in-
stalled in hazardous areas.

IDEC SmartRelay installation and wiring
• Do not connect an external power supply in parallel to the

output load of a DC output. This could develop a reverse
current at the output if you have not installed a diode or
similar barrier device.
• Reliable functioning of the equipment is only ensured with
certified components!
Note
IDEC SmartRelay units may only be installed and wired by
skilled personnel who know and follow the general engineer-
ing rules and the relevant regulations and standards.
What you must note when installing

IDEC SmartRelay is designed for fixed and enclosed instal-
lation in the housing or the control cabinet.
Warning
! Open facilities
Death, serious bodily injury or considerable damage to property
can occur.
Modules of an IDEC SmartRelay are open facilities. This means
you must install IDEC SmartRelay only in a housing or cabinet.
Access to the housings or cabinets must only be possible by using
a key or a tool and only authorized or approved personnel may be
allowed access.
It is permissible to operate IDEC SmartRelay from its front at any
time.
Safety of electronic control equipment
Introduction
The notes below apply regardless of the type or manufactur-
er of the electronic control.

Reliability
Maximum reliability of IDEC SmartRelay devices and com-
ponents is achieved by implementing extensive and cost-ef-
fective measures during development and manufacture.
This includes the following:
• Use of high-quality components;
• Worst-case design of all circuits;
• Systematic and computer-aided testing of all compo-
nents;
• Burn-in of all large-scale integrated circuits (e.g. proces-
sors, memory, etc.);
• Measures preventing static charge when handling MOS
ICs;
• Visual checks at different stages of manufacture;
• Continuous heat-run test at elevated ambient tempera-
ture over a period of several days;
• Careful computer-controlled final testing;
• Statistical evaluation of all returned systems and compo-
nents to enable the immediate initiation of suitable cor-
rective measures;
• Monitoring of major control components, using online
tests (cyclic interrupt for the CPU, etc.).
These measures are referred to as basic measures.
Carrying out tests
You must, however, ensure safety in your plant.
Before finally commissioning a system you should carry out
complete functional testing as well as all the necessary safe-
ty testing.
In testing, also include any predictable faults that can occur.
This means that you will avoid any danger to the plant or to
people during operation.

Risks
In all cases where the occurrence of failures can result in
material damage or injury to persons, special measures
must be taken to enhance the safety of the installation - and
therefore also of the situation. System-specific and special
regulations exist for such applications. They must be ob-
served on installing the control system (e.g. VDE 0116 for
burner control systems).
For electronic control equipment with a safety function, the
measures that have to be taken to prevent or rectify faults
are based on the risks involved in the installation. As of a cer-
tain degree of hazard the basic measures mentioned above
are no longer sufficient. Additional measures must be imple-
mented and approved for the controller.
Important information
The instructions in the operating manual must be followed
exactly. Incorrect handling can render measures intended to
prevent dangerous faults ineffective, or generate additional
sources of danger.

In addition, you can plug in an analog output module.

The base module without analog inputs can connect a maximum of four ana-
log input modules and one analog output module.
High-speed/optimal communication performance
For optimal and high-speed communication performance be-
tween IDEC SmartRelay Base and the various modules, we
recommend you install the “digital modules first, then the an-
alog modules” (example above). (The special function PI

controller is an exception: the AI used for the value PV

should be on the IDEC SmartRelay Base or an analog input
module adjacent to the IDEC SmartRelay Base).
We recommend that you position the FL1B-CAS2 on the far
right-hand side. (If the AS Interface voltage fails,
communication between the IDEC SmartRelay system and
the expansion modules, which are arranged to the right of
the IDEC SmartRelay AS Interface expansion module, is
interrupted).
2.1.2 Setup with different voltage classes

When setting up expansion modules of different power volt-
ages, take the following restrictions into consideration.
Note
• To power the CPU module and expansion I/O modules, use one
power supply to supply the same power voltage. When using
different power supplies, the fast transient/burst immunity
(IEC61000-4-4) will be 1 kV (power supply).
• A 100 to 240V AC/DC module cannot be connected to the right
side of a 12/24V DC, 24V DC, or 24V AC/DC module.
• For analog input module and AS-Interface communication mod-
ule, a module of any voltage can be connected to the left side.
To the right side, however, a 100 to 240V AC/DC module cannot
be connected.

2.2 Installing/removing IDEC SmartRelay

Dimensions
The IDEC SmartRelay installation dimensions are compliant
with DIN 43880.
IDEC SmartRelay can be snap-mounted to 35 mm DIN rails
to EN 50022 or on the wall.
IDEC SmartRelay width:
• IDEC SmartRelay Base has a width of 72 mm, which cor-
responds with 4 subunits.
• IDEC SmartRelay expansion modules have a width of
36 mm, which corresponds with 2 subunits.
Note
The figure below shows you an example of the installation
and removal of a FL1D-H12RCC and a digital module. The
measures shown apply to all other IDEC SmartRelay Base
versions and expansion modules.
Warning
! Always switch off power before you “remove” and “insert” a module
(base module, expansion module, communication module).

2.2.1 DIN rail mounting

2.3.1 Connecting the power supply

IDEC SmartRelays (FL1D-*12RCC, FL1B-M08C2R2) are
suitable for nominal line voltages of 100 V AC/DC and 240 V
AC/DC. IDEC SmartRelays (FL1D-*12RCA, FL1B-
M08D2R2) are suitable for a supply voltage of 24 V AC/DC.
IDEC SmartRelays (FL1D-H12SND, FL1B-M08B1S2) are
suitable for a supply voltage of 24 V DC. IDEC SmartRelays
(FL1D-*12RCE, FL1B-M08B2R2) are suitable for a supply
voltage of 12 V AC/DC or 24 V AC/DC.
Note the information on connection in the product informa-
tion document shipped with your device and the technical
specifications in Appendix A relating to permissible voltage
tolerances, line frequency and current consumption.
Note
A power failure may cause an additional edge triggering signal at
the special functions, for example.
Data of the last uninterrupted cycle are stored in IDEC SmartRelay.

FL1D-H12RCE: 0.8 A voltage at least 20 % above the rated
FL1D-H12SND: 2.0 A voltage.
Note
IDEC SmartRelay is a double-insulated switchgear. You do not
need to connect an equipment grounding conductor.
Circuit protection with AC voltage

To suppress voltage peaks on the power supply lines, you
can install a metal oxide varistor (MOV). Make sure that the
operating voltage of the varistor (MOV) used lies at least 20
% above the rated voltage.

2.3.2 Connecting IDEC SmartRelay inputs

At the inputs you connect sensor elements such as: momen-
tary switches, switches, light barriers, daylight control
switches etc.

For identifying the version, see page 4.

Note
The digital inputs of FL1D-H12RCC/FL1D-B12RCC are divided into
two groups, each consisting of four inputs. Within the same group,
all inputs must be operated on the same phase. Different phases
are only possible between the groups.
Example: I1 to I4 on phase L1, I5 to I8 on phase L2.
Inputs within the FL1B-M08C2R2 may not be connected to differ-

ent phases.
Sensor connections
Connecting glow lamps and 2-wire proximity switches (Bero)
to FL1D-H12RCC/FL1D-B12RCC or FL1B-M08C2R2 (AC)
The figure below shows how you connect a switch with a
glow lamp to IDEC SmartRelay. The current that flows
through the glow lamp allows IDEC SmartRelay to detect a
“1” signal even though the switch contact is not closed. If,
however, you use a switch the glow lamp of which is fitted
with a power supply, this response does not occur.
L1
N
L1 N
Take into account the quiescent current of any 2-wire prox-

imity switches used into account. The level of the quiescent
current of some 2-wire proximity switches is high enough to
trigger a logical "1" signal at the IDEC SmartRelay input. You
should therefore compare the quiescent current of the prox-
imity switches with the technical data of inputs Appendix A.

Remedy
To suppress this response, use an X capacitor rated at 100
nF and 2.5 kV. In a destructive situation, this type of capaci-
tor safely disconnects. You must choose the voltage level for
which the capacitor is rated such that it is not destroyed in
the case of overvoltage!
At 230 V AC, the voltage between N and an input I(n) must
not be greater than 40 V to guarantee a “0” signal. You can
connect approximately ten glow lamps to the capacitor.

Restrictions
• Signal status transitions 0 → 1 / 1 → 0
After a 0 to 1 or 1 to 0 transition, the signal must remain con-
stant at the input at least for the duration of one program cy-
cle, so that IDEC SmartRelay can detect the new signal sta-
tus.
The program execution time is determined by the size of the
circuit program. Appendix B contains a benchmark test rou-
tine that you can use to determine the current scan cycle
time.
Special features of FL1D-H12RCE/FL1D-B12RCE and FL1D-
H12SND
• High-speed inputs: I5 and I6
These versions are also equipped with high-speed counting
inputs (up/down counters, frequency triggers). The restric-
tions mentioned earlier do not apply to these high-speed in-
puts.
Note
The high-speed inputs I5 and I6 are the same as in the previous
versions FL1A to FL1C, i.e. a circuit program that is written in these
versions can be transferred to the new FL1D units by means of the
programming software WindLGC, without any changes to these
features.
Expansion modules do not have high-speed inputs.
• Analog inputs: I7 and I8

The inputs I7 and I8 of IDEC SmartRelay versions FL1D-
H12RCE/FL1D-B12RCE and FL1D-H12SND can be used
both as standard digital inputs and as analog inputs. The in-
put mode is defined in the IDEC SmartRelay circuit program.
The inputs I7 / I8 provide digital functions, and the inputs AI1
and AI2 provide analog functions.
See also Chapter 4.1.
When using inputs I7 and I8 as analog ones, only the range
from 0 to 10 V DC is available.

Connecting a potentiometer to inputs I7 / I8

To allow you to achieve 10 V as the maximum value when
you completely turn the potentiometer once, you must con-
nect a series resistor on the potentiometer’s input side re-
gardless of the input voltage (see figure below).
We suggest the following sizes of potentiometers and asso-
ciated series resistors:
Voltage Potentiometer Series Resistor
12 V 5 kΩ −
24 V 5 kΩ 6.6 kΩ
When using a potentiometer and 10 V input voltage as the

maximum value, you must ensure that with a connected in-
put voltage of 24 V, 14 V must release via the series resistor
so that a maximum of 10 V are supplied when you turn the
potentiometer one full rotation. With a voltage of 12 V, this
can be neglected.
Note
The FL1B-J2B2 expansion module provides additional analog in-
puts.
Always use twisted and shielded cables for analog signals, and
keep these as short as possible.

Note
Fluctuating analog values are due to screening on the connecting
wire from the analog valuator device to the analog FL1B-J2B2
IDEC SmartRelay expansion module (encoder wire) that has either
been mounted incorrectly or not at all.
To avoid fluctuating analog values when using these expansion
modules, proceed as follows:
• Use only shielded encoder wires.

• Shorten the encoder wire as much as possible. The encoder
wire must not be more than 10 meters long.
• Clamp the encoder wire on one side only and clamp it only to
the PE terminal on the FL1B-J2B2/FL1D-K2B2 expansion mod-
ule.
• Connect ground on the encoder supply to the PE terminal on the
expansion module.

FL1D-H12RCA / FL1D-B12RCA / FL1D-H12RCC / FL1D-B12RCC /
FL1D-H12RCE / FL1D-B12RCE
These units are equipped with relay outputs. The potential of
the relay contacts is isolated from the power supply and the
inputs.
Requirements for relay outputs
You can connect various loads to the outputs, e.g. lamps, flu-
orescent lamps, motors, contactor relays etc. For informa-
tion on the properties required for the loads connected to the

IDEC SmartRelay versions with transistor outputs can be
identified by the fact that the letter R is missing from their
type name. The outputs are short circuit-proof and over-
load-proof. An auxiliary load voltage supply is not necessary,
because IDEC SmartRelay supplies the load voltage.
Requirements for transistor outputs
The load connected to IDEC SmartRelay must have the fol-
lowing characteristics:

2.3.4 Connecting the AS interface bus

To set the address of the module on the AS interface bus,
you need an addressing unit.
Valid addresses are in the range of 1 to 31. Use each ad-
dress once only.
You can set the address on the AS interface bus before or
after installation.
If the installed module is addressed via the address socket,
the AS-Interface voltage must be disconnected beforehand.
This is necessary for safety reasons.
RUN/STOP
AS-I

ADDR + -- + --
Networking on the AS interface bus

To make the connection to the AS interface bus, you need a
communications-capable IDEC SmartRelay variant:
• IDEC SmartRelay base module + FL1B-CAS2.
• an AS interface power supply and
• an AS interface master.
IDEC SmartRelay can only be accepted as a slave on the AS
interface bus. This means that it is not possible to directly ex-
change data between two IDEC SmartRelay devices. Data
is always exchanged across the AS interface master.

Warning
! The AS-Interface and IDEC SmartRelay systems must
never be connected together electrically!
Use safe isolation acc. to IEC 61131-2, EN 50178, UL
508, CSA C22.2 No. 142.

“n” depends on the plug-in position of the expansion module

relative to the IDEC SmartRelay Base. It indicates the num-
ber of the input or output in IDEC SmartRelay program code.
Note
Ensure that there is enough space for the inputs/outputs of the AS
interface in the IDEC SmartRelay’s address space. If you are al-
ready using more than 12 physical outputs or more than 20 physical
inputs, it is no longer possible to operate the FL1B-CAS2!

2.4 Putting into operation
2.4.1 Switching on the IDEC SmartRelay/Power On

IDEC SmartRelay does not have a power switch. The reac-
tion of IDEC SmartRelay during startup depends on
• Whether a circuit program is stored in IDEC SmartRelay
• Whether a memory cartridge (card) is inserted
• Whether this is an IDEC SmartRelay version without dis-
play unit (FL1D-B12...)
• The status of IDEC SmartRelay at the time of power fail-
ure.
All possible reaction of IDEC SmartRelay are described on
the following page.
To ensure that the expansion module on IDEC SmartRelay

changes to RUN mode, check the following:
• Has the sliding contact between IDEC SmartRelay and
the expansion module snapped into place properly?
• Is the power supply connected to the expansion module?
• In addition, always ensure that you switch on the power
supply to the expansion module first before activating the
power supply to the IDEC SmartRelay base module (or
activate both power supplies at the same time); if you do
not do this, the system does not detect the expansion
module when you start up the IDEC SmartRelay base
module.
Note
After power-up, the FL1D performs initialization. After completing
initialization, the FL1D is ready to start to run. During initialization,
a sandglass is displayed on the CPU module with display, or the
LED is lit red on the CPU module without display.
Initialization time (regardless of expansion module)

When a memory cartridge is installed: Max. 10 sec
When a memory cartridge is not installed: Max. 9 sec
* The initialization time depends on the program size.

Notes for Using Expansion I/O Modules

When using 3 or more expansion I/O modules including
those of the versions listed below, immediately after power-
up, it takes a specific period of time for the base module to
accept input signals from the expansion I/O modules. Until
the output terminals on the expansion I/O module are actu-
ally turned on or off.
Expansion I/O Modules

FL1B-M08C2R2(Version 1 to 3),
FL1B-M08B1S2(Version 1 to 5),
FL1B-M08B2R2(Version 1 to 6),
FL1B-M08D2R2(Version 1 to 3),
FL1B-J2B2(Version 1 to 4),
FL1D-K2B2(Version 1)

During the initialization period

of expansion I/O modules
* During the initialization period of expansion I/O modules,

inputs and outputs are off. In addition, the length of initializa-
tion period varies with expansion I/O modules , and I/O re-
sponse depends on the expansion I/O modules.

You can also memorize four simple rules for starting IDEC
SmartRelay :
1. If neither IDEC SmartRelay nor the inserted memory
cartridge (card) contains a circuit program, IDEC
SmartRelay (with display unit) reports: 'No Program /
Press ESC'.
2. A circuit program on the memory cartridge (card) is au-
tomatically copied to IDEC SmartRelay. The circuit pro-
gram in IDEC SmartRelay is overwritten.
3. If there is a circuit program in IDEC SmartRelay or on the
memory cartridge (card), IDEC SmartRelay adopts the
operational state it had prior to POWER-OFF. Versions
without display unit (FL1D-B12...) automatically change
from STOP to RUN (LED changes from red to green).
4. If you have enabled retentivity at least for one function,
or a function is permanently retentive, the current values
are retained at POWER-OFF.
Note
When a power failure occurs while you are entering a circuit pro-
gram, the program in IDEC SmartRelay will be deleted after power
is returned.
Before you modify the circuit program, you should therefore save a
backup copy of your original to a memory cartridge (card) or to a
computer (WindLGC).

2.4.2 Operating states

IDEC SmartRelay Base operating states
IDEC SmartRelay Base/Pure knows two operating states:

this time reduces to a matter of microseconds.

IDEC SmartRelay expansion modules, operating states

IDEC SmartRelay expansion modules know three operating
states: The LED is lit green, red or orange.

• If the FL1B-CAS2 voltage fails, communication between
the IDEC SmartRelay system and the expansion
modules, which are arranged to the right of the FL1B-
CAS2 expansion module, is interrupted.
Recommendation: Position FL1B-CAS2 on the far right-
hand side!
• If communication is interrupted, the switching outputs are
reset after about 40 to 100 ms.

3 Programming IDEC SmartRelay
Programming in our context refers to the creation of a circuit
program. A IDEC SmartRelay circuit program is actually
nothing more than a circuit diagram presented in a slightly
different form!
We have adapted this presentation to the IDEC SmartRelay
display field. In this chapter we will show you how to use
IDEC SmartRelay to create the IDEC SmartRelay circuit pro-
grams for your application.
At this point, we once again refer to WindLGC, which is the
IDEC SmartRelay programming software you can use to
quickly and easily create, test, modify save and print the cir-
cuit programs. The topics in this manual relate only to the
creation of circuit programs on the actual IDEC SmartRelay,
because the programming software WindLGC already con-
tains an extensive Online Help. See also Chapter 7.
Note
IDEC SmartRelay versions without display unit, i.e. the FL1D-
B12RCE, FL1D-B12RCA and FL1D-B12RCC units, do not have an
operator panel and display unit. They are primarily designed for use
in small machine and process equipment engineering systems for
series production.
FL1D-B12... versions are not programmed directly at the unit. In-
stead, the circuit program is downloaded to this device by means of
WindLGC or memory cartridges (cards) of other IDEC SmartRelay
FL1D units.
IDEC SmartRelay versions without display can not write data to
memory cartridges (cards).
See Chapter 6, 7 and Appendix C.

Programming IDEC SmartRelay
A small example in the first part of this chapter introduces the

operating principle of IDEC SmartRelay.
• We shall first show you the meaning of two basic terms,
namely the connector and the block.
• As the next step, we shall create a circuit program based
on a simple conventional circuit, which you ...
• can enter directly in IDEC SmartRelay in the third step.
It will take you only a few pages of this manual store your first
executable circuit program in the IDEC SmartRelay unit.
With a suitable hardware (switches etc.), you will then be
able to carry out first tests.

3.1 Connectors
IDEC SmartRelay is equipped with inputs and outputs
Example of a configuration with several modules:
Inputs

Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q7 Q8 Q11 Q12
Outputs Analog Inputs
Each input is identified by the letter I plus a number. When

you look at IDEC SmartRelay from the front, you can see the
input terminals at the top. Only the analog modules FL1B-
J2B2 has the inputs at the bottom.
Each output is identified by the letter Q plus a number
(FL1D-K2B2: AQ plus number). In the figure, you can see
the output terminals at the bottom.

Note
IDEC SmartRelay can recognize, read and switch the I/O of all ex-
pansion modules, regardless of their type. The I/Os are presented
in the installation order of the modules.
The following I/Os and marker blocks are available for creating your
circuit program: I1 to I24, AI1 to AI8, Q1 to Q16, AQ1, AQ2, M1 to
M24 and AM1 to AM6. Also available are the shift register bits S1
to S8, 4 cursor keys C▲ , C , C ▼ and C
▲
, as well as 16 blank
▲
outputs X1 to X16. See Chapter 4.1 for more details.
The following applies to the inputs I7 and I8 of FL1D-H12RCE/

FL1D-B12RCE and FL1D-H12SND versions: If I7 or I8 is used in
the circuit program, this input signal is digital; signals at AI1 or AI2
are analog.
IDEC SmartRelay's connectors

The term connector refers to all connections and states in
IDEC SmartRelay.
The digital I/O status can be '0' or '1'. Status '0' means that
the input does not carry a voltage. Status '1' means that the
input carries voltage.
The ‘hi’, ‘lo’ and ‘x’ connectors have been introduced to make
it easier for you to create the circuit program:
'hi' (high) is assigned the status '1',
'lo' (low) is assigned the status '0'.
You do not have to use all the of connectors of a block. The
circuit program automatically assigns the unused connectors
a status that ensures proper functioning of the relevant
block. If you prefer to do so, you can identify unused connec-
tors with an 'x'.
For information on the meaning of the term “block”, refer to
Chapter 3.2.

IDEC SmartRelay knows the following connectors:

3.2 Blocks and block numbers

This chapter shows you how to use IDEC SmartRelay ele-
ments to create complex circuits and how blocks and I/O are
interconnected.
In Chapter 3.3 we are going to show you how to transform a
conventional circuit to obtain a IDEC SmartRelay circuit pro-
gram.
Blocks
A block in IDEC SmartRelay represents a function that is
used to convert input information into output information.
Previously you had to wire the individual elements in a con-
trol cabinet or terminal box.
When you create the circuit program, you interconnect the
blocks. To do so, simply select the connection you require
from the Co menu The menu name Co is an abbreviation of
the term “Connector”.
Logic operations
The most elementary blocks are the logic operations:
• AND
• OR
• ...
Inputs I1 and I2 are here connected to

I1 the OR block. The last two inputs of
I2 ≥1 the block remain unused and are iden-
tified be the creator of the circuit pro-
x Q gram with an ‘x’.
x
These special functions offer you a significantly greater per-

formance:
• Current impulse relay
• Up/down counter
• On-delay
• Softkey
• ....
Chapter 4 gives a full list of the IDEC SmartRelay functions.

Block representation on the IDEC SmartRelay display

The figure below shows a typical view of the IDEC
SmartRelay display. As you can see, it can show only one
block at a time. We have therefore introduced block numbers
to help you check the circuit structure.

Assigning a block number

IDEC SmartRelay assigns each new block a circuit program
a block number.
IDEC SmartRelay uses these block numbers to indicate the
block interconnections. This means that these numbers are
mainly an aid to your orientation in the circuit program.

Scrolling the circuit program using the key
▲

The figure above shows you three views of the IDEC

SmartRelay display, which represent the circuit program. As
you can see, IDEC SmartRelay interconnects the blocks
using their numbers.
Advantages of block numbers
You can connect almost any block to an input of the current
block by means of its block number. In this way, you can re-
use the interim results of logical or other operations, reduce
programming effort, save memory space and clean up your
circuit layout. To do so, however, you need to know how
IDEC SmartRelay has named the blocks.
Note
We advise you to create an organizational program chart. You will
find this a valuable aid when you create the circuit program,
because you can enter in this chart all block numbers that IDEC
SmartRelay assigns.
By using the WindLGC software to program IDEC SmartRelay, you

can directly create a function chart of your circuit program.
WindLGC also allows you to assign eight-character names to up to
64 blocks, and to view these on the IDEC SmartRelay display in pa-
rameter assignment mode (see Chapter 3.4).

3.3 The way to IDEC SmartRelay, starting with

the circuit diagram
View of a circuit diagram
You know, of course, how a circuit logic is represented in a
circuit diagram. Nevertheless, here is an example:
Load E1 is switched on and off

S1 S2 K1 by means of the switches (S1
OR S2) AND S3.
S3
K1 Relay K1 picks up when the
E1 condition (S1 OR S2) AND S3
is met.
Creating this circuit with IDEC SmartRelay

In IDEC SmartRelay you create a circuit logic by intercon-
necting blocks and connectors:
L Wiring of the inputs

1 S1 ... S3
Circuit program in IDEC SmartRelay

I3
I2 Q1

N Wiring of the outputs

Note
Although you have four inputs available for logic operations (Basic
functions, see Chapter 4.2), most of the views will only show three
inputs for reasons of clarity. You program this fourth input and as-
sign parameters just like you do with the other three inputs.
To create a circuit logic in IDEC SmartRelay, start at the cir-

cuit output.
The output is the load or relay that is to be switched.
Convert the circuit logic into blocks by working through the
circuit, starting at the output and ending at the input:
Step 1: The normally open contact S3 is interconnected in
series to output Q1 and to a further circuit element. A series
connection corresponds with the AND block:
&
I3
Q1
x
Step 2: S1 and S2 are connected in parallel. A parallel circuit

corresponds with the OR block:
I1
≥1 I3
&
I2 Q1
x x
Unused inputs
The circuit program automatically assigns the unused con-
nectors a status that ensures proper functioning of the rele-
vant block. If you like, you can label unused connectors with
an 'x' identifier.
In our example we shall use only two inputs of the OR block
and two inputs of the AND block; the relevant unused third
and fourth inputs are identified at the connector with an 'x'.
Now connect the I/Os to IDEC SmartRelay.

Wiring
Connect the switches S1 to S3 to the screw terminals of your
IDEC SmartRelay :
• S1 to connector I1 of IDEC SmartRelay
The output of the AND block controls the relay at output Q1.
The load E1 is connected to output Q1.

3.4 The four golden rules for operating IDEC

SmartRelay
Rule 1
Changing the operating mode
• You create the circuit program in programming mode.
After power is on, and when the display shows “No Pro-
gram / Press ESC”, press the ESC key to select program-
ming mode.
• Timer and parameter values of an existing circuit pro-
gram can be edited both in parameter assignment
mode and in programming mode. During parameter
assignment IDEC SmartRelay is in RUN mode, i.e. it
continues executing the circuit program (see Chapter 5).
To work in programming mode, you need to terminate
the circuit program by calling the “Stop” command.
• Select the 'Start' command on the main menu to set RUN
mode.
• When the system is in RUN, you can return to parameter
assignment mode by pressing the ESC key.
• When parameter assignment mode is open and you
want to return to programming mode, select the “Stop”
command from the parameter assignment menu, and
confirm “Stop Prg” prompt with “Yes”. To do so, move
the cursor to “Yes” and confirm with OK.
For more details on operating modes, refer to Appendix D.
Rule 2
Outputs and inputs
• Always create your circuit program by working from the
output to the input.
• You can connect an output to several inputs, but not the
same input to several outputs.
• Within the same program path you may not connect an
output to an upstream input. For such internal recursions
you should interconnect memory markers or outputs.

Rule 3
Cursor and cursor movement
The following applies when you edit a circuit program:
• You can move the cursor when it appears in the form of
an underscore:
- Press , , ▼ or ▲ to move the cursor in the circuit
▲
▲
program.
- Press OK to change to "Select connector/block"
- Press ESC to exit programming mode.
• You select a connector/block
• when the cursor appears as solid square
- Press ▼ or ▲ to select a connector or a block.
- Confirm with OK.
- Press ESC to return to the previous step.
Rule 4
Planning
• Before you start to create a circuit program, you should
either first create design on paper or program IDEC
SmartRelay directly using WindLGC.
• IDEC SmartRelay can only save complete and faultless
circuit programs.

3.6 Writing and starting the circuit program

After you have designed a circuit, you want to write it to your
IDEC SmartRelay. The small example below shows how to
do this.
3.6.1 Select programming mode

You have connected IDEC SmartRelay to the power supply
and switched it on. The display now shows you the message:
Switch IDEC SmartRelay to programming mode by pressing

ESC. This will take you to the main menu of IDEC
SmartRelay:
IDEC SmartRelay’s main menu
The first character in the first line is the ">" cursor. Press ▲
and ▼ to move the ">" cursor up and down. Move it to "Pro-
gram.." and confirm with OK. IDEC SmartRelay opens the
programming menu.
IDEC SmartRelay’s programming menu

Here you can also move the ">" cursor by pressing ▲ and ▼.
Move the ">" cursor to "Edit.." (for editing, i.e. input) and con-
firm with OK.
The Edit menu of IDEC SmartRelay
Move the ">" cursor to "Edit Prg" (for editing the circuit pro-
gram) and confirm with OK. IDEC SmartRelay now shows
you the first output:
The first output of IDEC SmartRelay
Q1
You are now in programming mode. Press ▲ and ▼ to select

the other outputs. Now start to edit your circuit program.
Note
Because we have not yet saved a password for the circuit program
in IDEC SmartRelay, you can directly enter editing mode. When
you select “Edit” after you have saved a password-protected circuit
program, you are prompted to enter a password and to confirm it
with OK. You can only edit the program after you have entered the
correct password (see Chapter 3.6.5.).

3.6.2 The first circuit program

Let us now take a look at the following parallel circuit consist-
ing of two switches.
Circuit diagram
The corresponding circuit diagram:
The load is switched on with

S1 S2 S1 OR S2. IDEC SmartRelay
K1
interprets this parallel circuit as
an ‘OR’ logic, because S1 OR
S2 switches on the output.
K1

Translated into a IDEC SmartRelay circuit program this

means: Relay K1 is (at output Q1) is controlled by means of
an OR block.

S1 switches input I1, while S2 switches input I2. The load is

connected to the relay Q1.
3.6.3 Circuit program input

Let us now write the circuit program, starting at the output
and working towards the input. IDEC SmartRelay initially
shows the output:
The first IDEC SmartRelay output
Q1

You will see an underscore below the Q in Q1, which is the

cursor. The cursor indicates your current position in the cir-
cuit program. You can move the cursor by pressing the ▲,
▼, and keys. Now press the key. The cursor moves
▲
▲
to the left.
The cursor indicates your current

position in the circuit program.
- Q1
At this point you enter only the first (OR) block. Press OK to
select editing mode.
The cursor is displayed as a solid

square: You can now select a con-
nector or a block
Co Q1
The cursor no longer appears in the form of an underscore;

but instead as a flashing solid square. IDEC SmartRelay of-
fers you various options here.
Select GF (basic functions) by pressing the ▼ key until GF
appears, and confirm with OK. IDEC SmartRelay now shows
the first block from the list of basic functions:
B1 The AND is the first block of the basic

& functions list.
The solid square cursor prompts you
Q1 to select a block.

Now press ▼ or ▲ until the OR block appears on the display:
B1 The solid square cursor is still posi-

≥1 tioned on the block.
Q1
Press OK to confirm your entries and exit the dialog.

The display now shows: Your complete circuit

Q1 Q1
You have now entered the first block. Each new block is au-
tomatically assigned a block number. The only thing left to do
is interconnect the block inputs. This is how it is done:
Press OK.
The display now shows:
B1
Co ≥1

Q1

The first element of the Co list is the “Input 1” character,

namely ‘I1’.
Note
Press ▼ to go the start of the Co list: I1, I2 .... to lo.
Press ▲ to go to the end of the Co list: lo, hi, ..... to I1.
B1
I1 ≥1
Q1
Press OK. I1 is now connected to the input of the OR block.

The cursor jumps to the next input of the OR block.
The display now shows: Your complete circuit program
in IDEC SmartRelay up to now:

Note
IDEC SmartRelay has now saved your circuit program to nonvola-
tile memory. The circuit program remains in the IDEC SmartRelay
memory until you explicitly delete it.
You can save the actual values of special functions in the case of a
power outage assuming that these functions support the “Reten-
tive” parameter and that the necessary program memory is avail-
able. The Retentive parameter is deactivated in the basic status
(i.e. when inserting the function). To use it, you must enable this op-
tion.
3.6.4 Assigning a circuit program name

You can assign your circuit program a name that consists of
up to 16 uppercase/lowercase letters, numbers and special
characters.
In the programming menu:
1. To move the “>” cursor to 'Edit..': Press ▼ or ▲
2. To accept 'Edit': Press OK
3. Move the “>” cursor to 'Edit Name': Press ▼ or ▲
4. To accept 'Edit Name': Press OK
Press ▲ and ▼ to list the alphabet from A (a) to Z (z), num-
bers and special characters, either in ascending or descend-
ing order. You can select any letter, number or character.
To enter a space character, simply movie the cursor with
▲
to the next position. This character is the first one in the list.
Examples:
Press ▼ once to select an “ A ”
▲ four times to select “ { ”, etc.
The following character set is available:

10. To confirm the complete name: Press OK
Your circuit program is now named “ABC”, and you are re-
turned to the programming menu.
To change the name of your circuit program, proceed in the
same way.
Note
You can change the name of the circuit program only in program-
ming mode. You can read the name both in programming and in
parameter assignment mode
3.6.5 Password
You can protect a circuit program from unauthorized access
by assigning it a password.
To assign a password
A password may have a maximum length of 10 characters,
and consists only of uppercase letters (A to Z). On IDEC
SmartRelay, the password can be assigned, edited or deac-
tivated only in the “Password” menu.
1. Move the “>” cursor to 'Password': Press ▼ or ▲
2. To confirm the 'Password': Press OK
Press ▼ or ▲ to move up and down the alphabet to select
your letters. Because IDEC SmartRelay only provides up-
percase letters for the password, you can quickly access let-
ters “at the end” of the alphabet by using the ▲ button:

Press ▲ once to select “Z”

Press ▲ twice to select “Y”, etc.
Let us assign the password “AA” to our first circuit program.
Old:
No Password
New:
This procedure is the same as for entering the name of the

circuit program. Select “New” and enter:
4. To move to the next letter: Press
▲
Old:
No Password
New:
AA
6. To confirm the password: Press OK
Your circuit program is now protected with the password
“AA”, and you are returned to the programming menu.

Note
You can cancel the input of a new password with ESC. In this case,
IDEC SmartRelay returns to the programming menu without saving
the password.
You can also set your password using WindLGC. You can not edit
a password-protected circuit program on IDEC SmartRelay or up-
load it to WindLGC unless you enter the correct password.
To allow you to create and edit a circuit program for a protected

memory cartridge (card), you first need to assign a password to this
new program (see Chapter 6.1).
Changing the Password

You need to know the current password in order to change it.
1. Move the '>' cursor to 'Password': Press ▼ or ▲
Select “Old” and enter your old password (in our case: 'AA')
by repeating steps 3 through 6 as described earlier.
Old:
AA
New:
Now you can select “New” to enter the new password, e.g.
“ZZ”:
3. Select “Z”: Press ▲
4. To move to the next letter: Press
▲
5. Select “Z”: Press ▲

Old:
AA
New:
ZZ
6. To confirm your new password:Press OK
Your new password “ZZ” is now set, and you are returned to
the programming menu.
Deactivating the Password
Let us assume you want to deactivate the password for
whichever reason. For example, you want to allow another
user to edit your circuit program. You must know your current
password (in our example “ZZ”), same as if you were chang-
ing it.
1. Move the '>' cursor to 'Password': Press ▼ or ▲
Select “Old” and enter your current password as described
in steps 3 to 5. Confirm your entries with OK.
The display shows:
Old:
ZZ
New:
Clear the password by leaving the input box blank:

3. To confirm the “blank” password:Press OK
The password is "cleared", and you are returned to the pro-
gramming menu.

Note
This action disables the password prompt, and thus permits access
without password.
Let the password prompt be deactivated for the time being, in or-
der to accelerate progress in our further exercises and examples.
Password: Wrong Password!

When the user inputs the wrong password and confirms the
input with OK, IDEC SmartRelay does not open editing
mode, but returns to the programming menu. This repeats it-
self over and again until you input the correct password.

3.6.6 Switching IDEC SmartRelay to RUN mode

In the main menu, select RUN to start IDEC SmartRelay.
1. To return to the main menu: Press ESC

What is meant by: "IDEC SmartRelay is in RUN"?

In RUN mode, IDEC SmartRelay executes the circuit pro-
gram. To do so, IDEC SmartRelay first reads the status at
the inputs, determines the status of the outputs by means of
the user program, and switches these on or off according to
your settings.
This is how IDEC SmartRelay indicates the I/O status:
Input/output status is ‘1’:

I: inverted
Q:
0.. 123456789 0.. 123456789
Input/output status is ’0’:
1..0123456789 1..0123456
2..01234 not inverted
In this example, only the inputs I1, I15, Q8 and Q12 are set
‘high’.
Status indication on the display

When switch S1 is closed,
L1 the status at input I1 is hi.
S1 =1 S2

3.6.7 Second circuit program

Up to this point, you have successfully created your first cir-
cuit and assigned it a name and, if desired, a password. In
this section we will show you how to modify existing circuit
programs and how to use the special functions.
Using this second circuit program, we will show you how to:
• Add a block to an existing circuit program.
• Select a block for a special function.
• Assign parameters.
Modifying circuits
We shall use the first circuit program as a basis for the sec-
ond, with some slight modifications.
First of all take a look at the circuit diagram for the second
circuit program:
L1 You already know the first part of

the circuit. S1 and S2 switch a relay,
which is to be used to switch on the
S1 S2 K1 load E1, and to switch off the load
with a delay of 12 minutes.
K1 E1

Par
You can see the OR block and the output relay Q1 we have
already used in the first circuit program. The only difference
is the new off-delay block.

Editing the circuit program

Switch IDEC SmartRelay to programming mode.
As a reminder:
1. Switch the IDEC SmartRelay to programming mode
(in RUN: Press ESC to enter the parameter assignment
mode. Select the ‘Stop’ command, confirm with OK,
then move the ‘>’ cursor to ‘Yes’, and once again confirm
with OK). See page 63.
2. On the main menu, select "Program"
3. On the Programming menu, select “Edit”, confirm with
OK. Next, select “Edit Prg” and confirm with OK.
If required, enter your password at the prompt and con-
firm with OK.
You can now modify the current circuit program.

Select your block (off-delay, see the next figure), and then
press OK:
Before you press
‘OK’, this shows
the entry Trg The added block is assigned the block
B2 number B2. The cursor is positioned at
B1 the top input of the added block.
R Q1
Par
The B1 block previously connected to Q1 is automatically
connected to the uppermost input of the new block. Note that
you can only interconnect digital inputs with digital outputs or
analog inputs with analog outputs. The 'old' block will other-
wise be lost.
The off-delay block has three inputs. At the top is the trigger
input (Trg) you use to start the off-delay time. In our example,
the OR block B1 triggers the off-delay. You reset the time
and the output with a signal at the reset input. Set the off-de-
lay time at parameter T of the input Par.

In our example we do not use the reset input of the off-delay

function, and we identify it with an 'x' connector.

When synchronization is enabled, IDEC SmartRelay trans-
mits the time-of-day to the expansion modules once daily, af-
ter each transition to RUN mode and when the TOD is
changed after a ‘Set Clock’ is executed or after a summer-
time/wintertime conversion.
Note
The expansion module with this function does not have already
been released.(As of Feb. 2006)

3.7 Memory space and circuit dimensions

The size of a circuit program in IDEC SmartRelay is limited
by the memory space (memory used by the blocks).
Memory areas
• Program memory:
IDEC SmartRelay allows only a limited number of blocks
in your circuit program.
The second limitation is based on the maximum number
of bytes a circuit program may contain. The total number
of bytes used can be determined by adding up the num-
ber of bytes used for the relevant function blocks.
• Retentive memory (Rem):
In this area, IDEC SmartRelay stores process variables
which need to be retentive, e.g. the Operating hours
counter value. Blocks with optional retentivity use this
memory area only if this function is actually enabled.

Caution
! At a power failure, the logical input level may drop to zero before
IDEC SmartRelay can save the functions to the retentive memory.
In this case, the IDEC SmartRelay saves the function values deter-
mined by the zero state at its inputs of the inputs.
Example: On-delay
With an input (I1) connected to a Trg connector of an On-delay FB
as shown in Fig.1, if I1 is ON and the IDEC SmartRelay power is
turned off and on, the timer current value of the On-delay FB is
sometimes reset as shown in Fig.2.
Fig. 1
Fig. 2
Other FBs are shown below.

• Function blocks whose timer current value is sometimes reset.
Off-delay, On-delay, On-/Off-delay, Retentive on-delay, Inter-
val time-delay relay/Pulse output, Edge-triggered interval time-
delay relay, Operating hours counter, Asynchronous pulse gen-
erator, Stairwell Light Switch, Dual-function switch
• Function blocks whose output is sometimes set or reset when
input (I*) is connected to a S(R) connector with NOT.
Latching relay, Current impulse relay

Utilization of memory areas

The system indicates that there is insufficient memory space
by not allowing you to add a further block to your circuit pro-
gram. IDEC SmartRelay offers you only the blocks for which
it can provide sufficient memory space. If IDEC SmartRelay
memory space is insufficient to hold any further blocks you
select from a block list, the system will deny access to this
list.
If memory space is fully occupied, optimize your circuit pro-
gram, or install a second IDEC SmartRelay.

Calculating memory requirements

When calculating the memory requirements of a circuit, you
must always take into account all individual areas of memo-
ry.

Organization
IDEC SmartRelay provides you with various elements in pro-
gramming mode. In order to maintain the overview, we have
organized the elements in ‘Lists’. These lists are:
• ↓Co: Connector list (Connector)
(see Chapter 4.1)
• ↓GF: List of the basic functions AND, OR, ...
(refer to Chapter 4.2)
• ↓SF: List of the special functions
(refer to Chapter 4.4)
• ↓BN: List of reusable blocks configured in the circuit pro-
gram
List contents
All lists show the elements available in IDEC SmartRelay.
Usually, this includes all connectors, basic functions and
special functions the IDEC SmartRelay knows. This includes
all the blocks you have created in IDEC SmartRelay by the
time you call the ↓BN list.
If not all is shown
IDEC SmartRelay does not show all elements if:
• No further blocks may be added.
This is either an indication of insufficient memory space
or that the maximum number of blocks has been reached.
• A specific block’s memory space requirement would ex-
ceed the space available in IDEC SmartRelay.
See Chapter 3.7.

IDEC SmartRelay functions
4.1 Constants and connectors - Co

Constants and connectors (= Co) represent inputs, outputs,
markers and constant voltage levels (constants).
Inputs:
1) Digital inputs
Digital inputs are identified with an I. The number of the dig-
ital inputs (I1, I2, ...) corresponds to the number of the input
connectors of the IDEC SmartRelay Base and of the con-
nected digital modules, in the order of their installation. See
the following figure below.
2) Analog inputs
The IDEC SmartRelay versions FL1D-H12SND, FL1D-
H12RCE and FL1D-B12RCE are equipped with the inputs I7
and I8, which can also be programmed for use as AI1 and
AI2 inputs. Signals at the I7 and I8 inputs are interpreted as
digital values, and those at the AI1 and AI2 inputs are inter-
preted as analog values. The inputs of a connected analog
module are numbered according to the already existing an-
alog inputs. Special functions the inputs of which should only
be connected to analog inputs are offered in programming
mode when you select the input signal, i.e. the analog inputs
AI1...AI8, Analog Memory Markers AM1...AM6, the block
numbers of a function with analog output.

Outputs:
1) Digital outputs
Digital outputs are identified by the character Q. The output
numbers (Q1, Q2, ... Q16) correspond with the numbers of
the output connectors at the IDEC SmartRelay Base and
with those of the expansion modules, in their order of instal-
lation. See the following figure.
There are also 16 blank outputs available. These are identi-
fied with an X and can not be reused in a circuit program (in
contrast to markers, for example). The list shows all pro-
grammed blank outputs, and one blank output which is not
yet configured. A blank output, for example, is useful for the
special function “Message texts” (see Chapter 4.4.23), if only
the message text is of significance to a circuit program.
2) Analog outputs
Analog outputs are identified by the letters AQ. Two analog
outputs are available, namely AQ1 and AQ2. An analog out-
put can only be connected with the analog input of a function,
an analog memory marker AM or an analog output connector.

Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q7 Q8 Q11 Q12
Outputs Analog inputs Analog outputs
Memory Markers
Memory Markers are identified by the letters M or AM .
These are virtual outputs, which output the value of their in-
puts. IDEC SmartRelay provides 24 Memory Markers M1 ...
M24 and 6 Analog Memory Markers AM1 ... AM6.

Startup Marker
Marker M8 is set in the first cycle of the user program and
can thus be used in your circuit program as a startup marker.
This signal is automatically reset after the circuit program
has completed its first cycle.
The M8 marker can be used in all further cycles for setting,
deletion and evaluation procedures in the same way as other
markers.
Note
The output of the marker always carries the signal of the previous
program cycle. This value does not change within the same pro-
gram cycle.
Shift register bits

IDEC SmartRelay provides the shift register bits S1 to S8,
which are assigned the read-only attribute in the circuit pro-
gram. The content of shift register bits can only be modified
by means of the “Shift register” special function (see Chapter
4.4.25).
Cursor keys
Up to four cursor keys are available to you, namely C▲ , C
, C ▼ and C (“C” = “Cursor”). Cursor keys are pro-
▲
grammed for the circuit program in the same ways as other

inputs. You can set the cursor keys in the corresponding dis-
play while the system is in RUN (see Chapter 3.6.6), and in
an active message text (ESC + Key). Cursor keys can save
switches and inputs, and allow operator control of the circuit
program.
Levels
Voltage levels are designated hi and lo. A constant “1" = hi
or “0" = lo status at the block can be set by means of a per-
manent voltage level or constant value hi or lo.
Open connectors
Unused block connectors can be identified with an x.

4.2 Basic functions list - GF

Basic functions represent simple logical elements of Bool-
ean algebra.
You can invert the inputs of individual basic functions, i.e. the
circuit program inverts a logical “1” at a relevant input to a
logical “0”; if “0” is set at the input, the program sets a logical
“1”. A programming example is found in Chapter 3.6.3.
The GF list contains the basic function blocks you can use
for your circuit program. The following basic functions are
available:

4.3 Basics on special functions

Because of their different input designation, you can see
right away that there is a difference between the special
functions and basic functions. SFs contain timer functions,
retentive functions and various parameter assignment op-
tions, which allow you to adapt the circuit program to suit
your own requirements.
This section provides you with a brief overview of input des-
ignations and with some particular background information
on SFs. The SFs in particular are described in Chapter 4.4.

4.3.1 Designation of the inputs

Logical inputs
Here, you will find the description of the connectors you can
use to create a logical link to other blocks or to the inputs of
the IDEC SmartRelay unit.
• S (Set):
A signal at input S sets the output to logical “1”.
• R (Reset):
The reset input R takes priority over all other inputs and
resets the outputs.
• Trg (Trigger):
This input is used to trigger the start of a function.
• Cnt (Count):
This input is used for counting pulses.
• Fre (Frequency):
Frequency signals to be evaluated are applied to this input.
• Dir (Direction):
This input determines the direction of count, for example.
• En (Enable):
This input enables a block function. When this input is “0”,
other signal to the block will be ignored.
• Inv (Invert):
A signal at this input inverts the output signal of the block.
• Ral (Reset all):
All internal values are reset.
Connector X at SF inputs
SF inputs connected to connector x are set low. That is, the
inputs carry a ‘lo’ signal.
Parameter inputs
At some of the inputs you do not apply any signals. You con-
figure the relevant block values instead. Examples:
• Par (Parameter):
This input will not be connected. Here, you set the rele-
vant block parameters (times, on/off thresholds etc.).
• No (Cam):
This input will not be connected. Here, you configure the
time patterns.
• P (Priority):
This is an open input. Here, you define priorities and spec-
ify whether a message is to be acknowledged in RUN.

4.3.2 Time response

Parameter T
At some of the SFs it is possible to configure a time value T.
When you preset this time, note that your input values are
based on the timebase set:
Timebase __ : __
1
s (seconds) seconds : /100 seconds
m (minutes) minutes : seconds
h (hours) hours : minutes
Setting a time T of 250 minutes:

B1 +
Unit in hours h:
T =04:10h 04:00 hours 240 minutes
00:10 hours +10 minutes
= 250 minutes
Note
Always specify a time T in ≥ 0.02 s. The time T is not defined for T
< 0.02 s.
Accuracy of T
Because of slight tolerances in the characteristics of
electronic components, the set time T may deviate. IDEC
SmartRelay has a maximum tolerance of ± 0.02%.
When 0.02% of the time T is smaller than 0.02 seconds, the
maximum deviation is 0.02 seconds.
Example:
The maximum tolerance per hour (3600 seconds) is ±0.02%,
which is proportional to ± 0.72 seconds.
The maximum tolerance per minute (60 seconds) is ± 0.02
seconds.
Accuracy of the timer (Seven-day/Twelve-month time switch)
To prevent timing inaccuracy of the real-time clock in C ver-
sions caused by this deviation, the timer value is continuous-
ly compared with a high-precision timebase and corrected.
The resultant maximum timing inaccuracy is ± 5 s/day.

4.3.3 Backup of the real-time clock

Because the internal real-time clock of an IDEC SmartRelay
is backed up, it continues operation after a power failure.
The ambient temperature influences the backup time. At an
ambient temperature of 25°C, the typical backup time is 80
hours.
If there is a power outage of an IDEC SmartRelay for more
than 80 hours, the internal clock responds, as shown below:
On restarting, the clock is set to "Sunday 00:00 1 January". The
time is stopped and flashes. IDEC SmartRelay is back in the
status that it was in before the power outage. In the RUN status,
the system processes the counters that were parameterized
with the time above. The clock is, however, still stopped.
4.3.4 Retentivity
The switching states and counter values of SFs can be set
retentive. This means that current data are retained after a
power failure, and that the block resumes operation at the
break point. The timer is not reset, but resumes operation
until the time-to-go has expired, for example.
To enable this response, however, the relevant functions
must be set retentive. Two options are available:
R: The data is retained.
/: Current data is not retained (default). See the example on
page 88.
SFs Operating hours counter, Seven-day time switch,
Twelve-month time switch and PI controller are always re-
tentive.
4.3.5 Parameter protection

In the parameter protection settings, you can determine
whether or not the parameters can be displayed and edited
in IDEC SmartRelay parameter assignment mode. Two op-
tions are available:
+: The parameter attribute permits read/write access in pa-
rameter assignment mode (default).
–: The parameter settings are read/write protected in param-
eter assignment mode, and can be edited only in program-
ming mode. See the example on page 88.

4.3.6 Calculating the gain and offset of analog values

A sensor is connected to the analog input and converts a
process variable into an electrical signal. This value of signal
lies within the typical range of this sensor.
IDEC SmartRelay always converts the electrical signals at
the analog input into digital values from 0 to 1000.
A voltage of 0 to 10 V at input AI is transformed internally into
range of values from 0 to 1000. An input voltage exceeding
10 V is shown as internal value 1000.
Because you can not always process the range of values
from 0 to 1000 as predetermined by IDEC SmartRelay, you
can multiply the digital values by a gain factor and then shift
the zero of the range of values (offset). This allows you to
output an analog value to the IDEC SmartRelay display,
which is proportional to the actual process variable.
Parameter Minimum Maximum
Input voltage (in V) 0 ≥ 10
Internal value 0 1000
Gain -10.00 10.00
Offset -10000 +10000

Mathematical rule
Actual value Ax =
(internal value at input Ax • gain) + offset
Gain and offset calculation
The gain and offset is calculated based on the relevant high
and low values of the function.
Example 1:
The available thermocouples have the following technical
data: -30 to +70°C, 0 to 10 V DC (i.e. 0 to 1000 in IDEC
SmartRelay).
Actual value = (internal value • gain) + offset, thus
-30 = (0 • A) + B, i.e. offset B = -30
+70 = (1000 • A) -30, i.e. gain A = 0.1
Example 2:
A pressure sensor converts a pressure of 1000 mbar into a
voltage of 0 V, and a pressure of 5000 mbar into a voltage of
10 V.
Actual value = (internal value • gain) + offset, thus
1000 = (0 • A) + B, i.e. offset B = 1000
5000 = (1000 • A) +1000, i.e. gain A = 4

For further information on analog inputs, refer to Chapter
4.1.

4.4 Special functions list - SF

When you create your circuit program in IDEC SmartRelay,
you find the special function blocks in the SF list.
You can invert the inputs of SFs individually, i.e. the circuit
program converts a logical “1” at the input into a logical “0”;
a logical “0” it converts into a logical “1”. An example of the
program code found in Chapter 3.6.3.
The table also specifies whether the relevant function can be
set retentivity (Rem). The following SFs are available:

Short description
The output is only set after a configurable on-delay time has
expired.
Symbol in IDEC Wiring Description
SmartRelay
Input Trg You start the on-delay with a
negative edge (1 to 0 transition)
at input Trg (Trigger).
Parameter T represents the time after which
the output is switched on (0 to 1
transition of the output signal).
Retentivity:
/ = no retentivity
R = the status is retentive.
Output Q Q is switched on when the set
time T has expired, provided Trg
is still set.
Parameter T
Please note the defaults for parameter T in Chapter 4.3.2.
The time for parameter T can also be preset based on the
actual value of another, already configured function. You can
use the actual values of the following functions:
• Analog comparator (actual value Ax - Ay, see Chapter
4.4.18)
• Analog trigger (actual value Ax, see Chapter 4.4.16)
• Analog amplifier (actual value Ax, see Chapter 4.4.20)
• Analog multiplexer (actual value AQ, see Chapter 4.4.26)
• Analog Ramp Control (actual value AQ, see Chapter

Each Seven-day time switch has three cams you can use to
configure a time hysteresis. You specify the on- and
off-times at the Cam parameters. The Seven-day time switch
sets the output at a certain on-time, if this is not already set.
The Seven-day time switch resets the output at a certain
off-time, if it is not switched off already. You will cause a con-
flict if the on- and off-times you set for the Seven-day time
switch are identical, though set on different cams. In this
case, cam3 takes priority over cam2, whereas cam2 takes
priority over cam1.
The switching state of the Seven-day time switch is deter-
mined by the status of all three cams.

• If the On threshold ≥ Off threshold, then:
Q = 1, if Cnt ≥ On
Q = 0, if Cnt < Off.
• If the On threshold < Off threshold, then Q = 1, if On ≤ Cnt
< Off.

For information on parameter defaults, refer to Chapter
4.4.1.
Note
The system scans the counter limit value cyclically.
Thus, if the pulse frequency at the fast inputs I5/I6 is faster than the
cycle time, the special function might not switch until after the spec-
ified limit value is exceeded.
Example: Up to 100 pulses per cycle can be counted; 900 pulses

have been counted so far. On = 950; Off = 10000. The output is set
in the next cycle, after the value has reached 1000. (The output
would not be set at all if the value Off = 980.)

4.4.14 Operating hours counter

Short description
A configured time is triggered with a signal at the monitoring
input. The output is set when this time has expired.
IDEC
SmartRelay
Input R A positive edge (0 to 1 transition)
at input R resets output Q and
sets a configured value MI at the
counter for the duration of the
time-to-go (MN).
Input En En is the monitoring input. IDEC
SmartRelay scans the on-time of
this input.
Input Ral A positive edge at input Ral (Re-
set all) resets both the Operating
hours counter (OT) and the out-
put, and sets the configured val-
ue MI at the counter to for the
duration of the time-to-go (MN).
That is,
• output Q = 0,
• measured operating time OT =
0 and
• the time-to-go of the mainte-
nance interval MN = MI.

Parameter MI: Maintenance interval to be
preset in hour units
Range of values:

• When “R+En” is selected:

Q = 0, if R = 1 or Ral = 1 or
En = 0.
Output Q The output is set when the
time-to-go MN = 0 (see timing
diagram).
The output is reset:
• When “Q → 0:R+En”, if
R = 1 or Ral = 1 or En = 0
• When “Q → 0:R”, if R = 1 or
Ral = 1.

The Operating hours counter monitors input En. When En =
1, IDEC SmartRelay computes the time expired and the
time-to-go MN. IDEC SmartRelay shows these times in pa-
rameter assignment mode. Output Q is set when the
time-to-go MN = 0.
A signal at reset input R resets output Q and sets the preset
value of MI at the counter for the duration of MN. The Oper-
ating hours counter OT continues the count.
With a signal at the reset input Ral, you reset output Q and
set the preset value of MI at the counter for the duration of
MN. The Operating hours counter OT is reset to zero.
Depending on your configuration of parameter Q, the output
is either reset with a signal at input
R or Ral ("Q → 0:R"), or when a reset signal is set hi, or the
En signal is set lo ("Q → 0:R+En").

Viewing the MI, MN and OT values

• IDEC SmartRelay Base with display unit: You can open
the parameter assignment mode when the system is in
RUN to view the actual values of MI, MN and OT.
• IDEC SmartRelay Base without display unit: In
WindLGC, you can use the Online Test to read these val-
ues (for further information, see Chapter 7).
Limit value of OT
The value of the operating hours in OT are retained when
you reset the Operating hours counter with a signal at input
R. The Operating hours counter OT continues the count as
long as En = 1, irrespective of the status at the reset input R.
The counter limit of OT is 99999 h.
The Operating hours counter stops when it reaches this val-
ue.
In programming mode, you can set the initial value of OT.
The counter starts operation at any value other than zero.
MN is automatically calculated at the START, based on the
MI and OT values
(Example: MI = 100, OT = 130, the result is MN = 70).

A control signal is to be triggered (for example "heater On"),
when the difference between the supply and return line tem-
peratures is greater than 15 °C. The control signal is reset
when the difference is less than 5 °C.
The process variable of the temperature is to be shown in
parameter assignment mode.

Reducing the input response of the analog comparator

You can selectively delay the output of an analog compara-
tor by means of the “On-delay” and “Off-delay” special func-
tions. With on-delay, output Q is only set if the pulse width of
the triggering signal at input Trg ( =analog comparator out-
put) is longer than the on-delay time.
Using this method, you will obtain a virtual hysteresis and re-
duce the input response to short signals.

Ax
A 0 to 1 transition at input En saves the value of the signal at
the analog input Ax. This saved process variable is referred
to as “Aen”.
Both the analog actual values Ax and Aen are multiplied by
the value at parameter A (gain), and parameter B (offset) is
then added to the product, i.e.
(Ax • gain) + offset = Actual value Aen, when input En chang-
es from 0 to 1, or
(Ax • gain) + offset = Actual value Ax.
Output Q is set when the signal at input En = 1 and if the ac-
tual value at input Ax is out of range of Aen ± ∆.
Output Q is reset, when the actual value at input Ax lies with-
in the range of Aen ± ∆, or when the signal at input En
changes to lo.

*AI1...AI8:0...10 V corresponds with 0...1000 (internal value).

Chapter 4.3.6.
Applies only to the AQ value in a message text.

The function fetches the analog signal of input Ax.
This value is multiplied by the value of the A (gain) parame-
ter, and parameter B (offset) is then added to the product, i.e.
(Ax • gain) + offset = actual value Ax.
The actual value Ax is output at AQ.
Analog output
If you interconnect this special function with a real analog
output, note that the analog output can only process values
between 0 and 1000. To do this, you may need to connect
an additional amplifier between the analog output of the spe-
cial function and the real analog output. Using this amplifier,
you standardize the output range of the special function to a
value range of 0 to 1000.
Scaling an analog input value
You can influence the analog input value of a potentiometer
by interconnecting an analog input with an analog amplifier
and an analog memory marker.
• Scale the analog value at the analog amplifier for further
use.
• Connect, for example, the time base for parameter T of a
time function (e.g. On-/Off-delay, Chapter 4.4.3) or the on
and/or off limit specification of an up/down counter
(Chapter 4.4.13) to the scaled analog value.

Acknowledgment enabled (Quit = On):
When the status of the signal at input En changes from 1 to
0, the message text is output until it is acknowledged with
OK. When En = 1, you can not acknowledge the message
text.
When multiple message text functions are triggered with
En=1, the message text that has the highest priority is shown
(0 = lowest, 30 = highest). This also means, that a newly ac-
tivated message text is shown only if its priority is higher than
that of previously activated message texts.
After a message text is disabled or acknowledged, the func-

In parameter assignment mode, the output is set with a sig-
nal at input En, if the ‘Switch’ parameter is set to ‘On’ and
confirmed with OK. Whether the function was configured for
pushbutton or switching action is here of no concern here.
The output is reset to ‘0’ in the following three cases:
• After a 0 to 1 transition at input En.
• When the function was configured for momentary push-
button action, and one cycle has expired since it was
switched on.
• When the position ‘Off’ was selected at the ‘Switch’ pa-
rameter and confirmed with OK in parameter assignment
mode.
If retentivity is not set, output Q is initialized after a power fail-
ure according to your configuration at the “Start” parameter.

4.4.25 Shift register

Short description
You can use the shift register function to read the value of an
input and to shift its bits left or right. The output value corre-
sponds with the configured shift register bit. The shifting di-
rection can be changed at a special input.
IDEC
SmartRelay
Input In Input read at the start of the
function.
Input Trg A positive edge (0 to 1 transi-
tion) at input Trg (Trigger)
starts the special function. 1
to 0 transitions are irrelevant.
Input Dir The signal at input Dir deter-
mines the shifting direction
for the shift register bits
S1...S8 an:
Dir = 0: Shift up (S1 >> S8)
Dir = 1: Shift down (S8 >>
S1)
Shift register bit that deter-
mines the value at output Q.
Possible settings:
Parameter S1 ... S8
Retentivity:
/ = No retentivity
Output Q The output value corre-
sponds with the configured
shift register bit.

The function reads the value at input In with a positive edge
(0 to 1 transition) at input Trg (Trigger).
This value is applied to shift register bit S1 or S8, depending
on the shifting direction:
• Shift up: The value at input In is set at S1; the previous
value at S1 is shifted to S2; the previous value at S2 is
shifted to S3 etc.
• Shift down: The value at input In is set at S8; the previous
value at S8 is shifted to S7; the previous value at S7 is
shifted to S6 etc.
Output Q returns the value of the configured shift register bit.
If retentivity is disabled, the shift function restarts at S1 or S8
after a power failure. When enabled, retentivity always ap-
plies to all shift register bits.
Note
The special function shift register can be used only once in the cir-
cuit program.

If input En is set, then the function issues one of 4 possible
analog values V1 to V4 at the output AQ, depending on the
value of S1 and S2.
If the input En is not set, then the function issues the analog
value 0 at output AQ.
Analog output
If you interconnect this special function with a real analog
output, note that the analog output can only process values
between 0 and 1000. To do this, you may need to connect
an additional amplifier between the analog output of the
special function and the real analog output. Using this
amplifier, you standardize the output range of the special
function to a value range of 0 to 1000.

.
IDEC SmartRelay
Input En A changeinthestatus from 0
to1at input En(Enable) applies
the start/stop level (Offset
(B)+StSp) to the output for
100ms and starts the ramp
operation to the selected level.
A change in the status from 1
to 0 immediately sets the
output AQ to 0.
Input Sel • SeI =0: Level1 is selected
• SeI =1: Level2 is selected
A change instatus of Sel caus-
es the output AQ to start
changing to the selected level
at the specified rate.
Input St A change in the status from 0
to 1 at input St (Decelerated
Stop) causes AQ to decrease
at a constant rate until the
start/stop level (Offset
(B)+StSp) is reached.
The start/stop level is main-
tained for 100ms and then the
output AQ is set to 0.

Parameter L1 (Level 1) and L2 (Level 2):

Levels to be reached
Range of values for
each level:
–10,000 to +20,000
MaxL:
Maximum value that must
not be exceeded under
any circumstances.
Range of values:
–10,000 to +20,000
StSp:
Start/Stop offset: value
that is added to Offset(B)
to create the start/stop lev-
el.If the Start/Stop offset is
0, then the start/stop level
is Offset(B).
Range of values:
–10,000 to +20,000
Rate:

IDEC SmartRelay
Output AQ The output AQ is scaled
using the formula:
(Current Level- Offset (B) )/
Gain (A)
Range ofvalues:
0 to +32767
Note:
When AQ is displayed in
parameter mode or message
mode, it is displayed as an
unscaled value (engineering
units).
Parameters L1, L2
The analog values for the parameters L1 and L2 can be
derived from another, already programmed function. You
can use the actual values of the following functions:
4.4.18)
4.4.27)
and
4.4.1.

If the input En is set, then the function issues the value StSp
+Offset (B) at output AQ for the first 100ms.
Then, depending on the connection of Sel, the function runs
from value StSp+Offset (B) to either level1 or level2 at the-
acceleration set in Rate.
If the input St is set, the function runs to the value StSp+B at
the acceleration set in Rate. Then the function issues the val-
ue StSp+Offset(B) at output AQ for 100ms. Finally Offset (B)
is issued at output AQ. The scaled value is 0.
If the input St isset, the function can only be restarted once
the inputs St and En have been reset.
If input Sel has been changed, depending on the connection
of Sel, the function runs from the current target level to the
new target level at the rate that is specified.
If the input En is reset, the function immediately sets the out-
put AQ to 0.
The output AQ is updated every 100ms.

Parameters SP, Mq
The analog values for the parameters SP and Mq can be
derived from another, already programmed function. You
can use the actual values of the following functions:
4.4.18)
4.4.27)
and
4.4.1.
Parameters KC, TI
Please note:
• If parameter KC has value 0, the “P” function
(proportional control) will not be executed.
• If parameter TI has value 99:59 m, the “I” function
(integral-action control) will not be executed.


Applies only to the PV, SP, Min and Max values displayed in
a message text.
Timing diagram
The nature, manner and speed with which the AQ changes
depend on the parameters KC and TI. Thus, the course of
AQ in the diagram is merely an example. A control action is
continuous; therefore the diagram portrays just an extract.

1. A disturbance causes the PV to drop, as Dir is positioned

upwards, AQ increases until PV corresponds again to

2. A disturbance causes the PV to drop, as Dir is positioned
downwards, AQ decreases until PV corresponds again
to SP.
It is not possible to change the direction (Dir) at runtime
of the function. The change is shown here for illustrative
purposes only.
3. As AQ is set to 0 by means of the input R, PV changes.
This is based on the fact that PV increases, which on
account of Dir = upwards causes AQ to drop.

If the input A/M is set to 0, then the special function issues
output AQ with the value that you set with parameter Mq.
If the input A/M is set to 1, then automatic mode commences.
As an integral sum the value Mq is adopted, the controller
function begins the calculations.
Note
For further information on the controller basics please refer
to the Online Help for WindLGC.
The updated value PV is used to calculate in the formulas:

Updated value PV = (PV • gain) + offset
• If the updated value PV = SP, then the special function
does not change the value of AQ.
• Dir = upwards (+) (timing diagram numbers 1. and 3.)
– If the updated value PV > SP, then the special function
reduces the value of AQ.
– If the updated value PV < SP, then the special function
increases the value of AQ.
• Dir = downwards (–) (timing diagram number 2.)
– If the updated value PV > SP, then the special function
increases the value of AQ.
– If the updated value PV < SP, then the special function
reduces the value of AQ.
With a disturbance, AQ continues to increase / decrease
until the updated value PV again corresponds to SP. The
speed with which AQ changes depends on the parameters
KC and TI.
If the input PV exceeds the parameter Max, then the updated

value PV is set to the value of Max. If the PV falls short of the
parameter Min, then the updated value PV is set to the value
of Min.
If the input R is set to 1, then the AQ output is reset. As long
as R is set, the input A/M is disabled.

Sampling time
The sampling time is fixed at 500 ms.

5 Configuring IDEC SmartRelay
When speaking of 'parameter assignment', we refer to the
configuration of the block parameters. You can set delay
times for time functions, the switching times of the timers, the
counter threshold value, the monitoring interval of an Oper-
ating hours counter and the on and off thresholds of the trig-
ger.
You can configure the parameters
• In programming mode
• In parameter assignment mode
In programming mode, the author of the circuit program also
sets the parameters.
We have added the parameter assignment mode to allow
the editing of parameters without having to modify the circuit
program. This feature is available for the user to edit param-
eters, without having to change to programming mode, for
example. The advantage: The circuit program remains pro-
tected, but can be adapted by the user to meet specific re-
quirements.
Note
In parameter assignment mode, IDEC SmartRelay continues exe-
cution of the circuit program.

5.1.1 Parameters
Note
In the following discourse on parameters, we presume that the re-
spective default parameter protection mode (“+”) has been main-
tained. This is prerequisite for viewing and editing parameter in the
parameter assignment mode! See Chapter 4.3.5 and the example
on page 88.
Parameters are, for example:

• The delay times of a time relay.
• The switching times (cams) of time switch.
• Counter thresholds
• The monitoring time for hour counters
• The trigger thresholds.
Each one of the parameters is identified by its block number
(Bx) and the shortname of the parameter. Examples:
• T:...is a configurable time.
• MI:...is a configurable time interval.
Note
WindLGC also allows you to assign names to blocks (for more in-
formation, refer to Chapter 7).

6 IDEC SmartRelay memory
cartridge (card)
IDEC SmartRelay allows you to store only one circuit pro-
gram in its memory. If you want to modify the circuit program
or create a further one without deleting the first, you must ar-
chive it somewhere. One of the options is to use a memory
cartridge/card.
The circuit program stored in IDEC SmartRelay can be cop-
ied to a memory cartridge (card). You can then insert the
memory cartridge/card in another IDEC SmartRelay in order
to copy the circuit program. using the memory cartridge
(card), you can:
• Archiving circuit programs
• Reproducing circuit programs
• Write and test your circuit program at the office, and then
transfer it to a IDEC SmartRelay in the switching cabinet.
IDEC SmartRelay is supplied with a hood. The memory car-
tridge (card) is supplied separately.
Note
You do not need a module to backup the circuit program in your
IDEC SmartRelay.
The IDEC SmartRelay circuit program is automatically stored in
nonvolatile memory when you exit the programming mode.
We shall now introduce the memory cartridge (card) you can

order for IDEC SmartRelay The card can backup all data in
the IDEC SmartRelay circuit program memory.
The type number is found in the appendix.

IDEC SmartRelay memory cartridge (card)
Compatibility
... to current versions (FL1C and FL1D devices):
Data written to the memory cartridge (card) in an FL1C ver-
sion can be read in all FL1C and FL1D versions.
Data written to the memory cartridge (card) in an FL1D ver-
sion can be read in all FL1D versions.
... to earlier versions (FL1A or FL1B devices):
A memory cartridge (card) that contains data written in
earlier versions (FL1A or FL1B devices) can not be used in
IDEC SmartRelay devices of the FL1C or FL1D generation.
When the IDEC SmartRelay system detects such an ‘old’
memory cartridge (card), the message “Unknown Card /
Press ESC” is output to the display.
Vice versa, an FL1C or FL1D memory cartridge (card) can
not be used in IDEC SmartRelay devices of the FL1A or
FL1B family.
Upward compatibility of circuit programs
Circuit programs written for the previous versions FL1A or
FL1B can only be applied in FL1C or FL1D units by means
of WindLGC.

6.1 Security function (CopyProtect)

We principally distinguish between memory cartridges (card)
with and without circuit program/copy protection.
Unprotected memory cartridge (card)
You can edit circuit programs without restrictions, and ex-
change data between the memory cartridge (card) and the
IDEC SmartRelay.
Protected memory cartridge (card)
A circuit program is protected when it is transferred from a
protected memory cartridge (card) to the IDEC SmartRelay.
To execute this circuit program in IDEC SmartRelay, the pro-
tected memory cartridge (card) must remain inserted during
RUN, i.e. the circuit program stored on the memory cartridge
(card) can not be copied to other IDEC SmartRelay devices.
Over and above that, a protected circuit program is write-
protected.
A circuit program with password protection is no longer pro-
tected after the correct password has been entered, i.e. you
can then edit the program and remove the module.
Note
You need to assign a password when you create the circuit pro-
gram for a protected module (card) to be able to edit it at a later time
(see Chapter 3.6.5).

Correlation between the password and copy protection

Password Protection Editing Copying Deleting
- - Yes Yes Yes

Note
To delete a circuit program in a memory cartridge (card), download
a blank program to it.
Assigning a security function

To assign a circuit program and copy protection function to
the memory cartridge (card), open the programming mode
and select “Card”.
(ESC / >Stop).
2. The main menu opens. To select the ‘Card’ command:
Press ▲ or ▼
3. To apply ‘Card’: Press OK
4. Move the ‘>’ cursor to ‘CopyProtect’: Press ▲ or ▼
5. To apply ‘CopyProtect’: Press OK
>No

CopyProtect:
No
The current protection setting is shown in the bottom line.
This function is disabled by default (“No”: disabled).

Enabling copy protection

To enable copy protection:
1. Move the ‘>’ cursor to ‘Yes’: Press ▲ or ▼
2. Confirm ‘Yes’: Press OK
>No
Yes
CopyProtect:
Yes
Note
This only generates a circuit program and copy protection for the
memory cartridge (card); the circuit program itself must be copied
separately from the IDEC SmartRelay to the memory cartridge
(card) (can also be done initially).
You can always change the “No” status (security function disabled)
to “Yes” (security function enabled).
A status change from “Yes” (security function enabled) to “No” (se-

curity function disabled) is only possible if the memory cartridge
(card) does not contain a circuit program.

6.2 Inserting and removing the memory car-

tridge (card)
When you remove a memory cartridge (card) with circuit pro-
gram and copy protection attribute, note the following: The
circuit program stored on the memory cartridge (card) can
only be executed if the card remains inserted during system
runtime.
After you have removed the memory cartridge (card), IDEC
SmartRelay outputs the message 'No Program'. A removal
of the memory cartridge (card) during RUN will lead to imper-
missible operating states.
Always heed the following warning:
Warning
! Do not touch the open slot of the memory cartridge (card) neither
with your fingers, nor with a metallic or conductive object.
The memory cartridge (card) socket may be under voltage if the
polarity is accidentally reversed at L1 and N.
The memory cartridge (card) may only be removed by qualified
personnel.

Removing the memory cartridge (card)

To remove the memory cartridge (card):
1. Carefully insert a screwdriver into the slot at the upper

end of the memory cartridge, and ease it out of the slot a
little.
2. Hold the memory cartridge at both sides using the mem-
ory cartridge removal tool (MT-101). and pull the memo-
ry cartridge straight out.
Inserting a memory cartridge (card)
The entry of the memory cartridge (card) slot is chamfered
on its bottom right. The edge of the memory cartridge (card)
is chamfered accordingly. This encoding prevents you from
inserting the memory cartridge (card) the wrong way round.
Insert the memory cartridge (card) into the slot and push it in
until it engages.

6.3 Copying data from the IDEC SmartRelay

to the memory cartridge (card)

program, repeat the process after Power On.
Note
The password X of a protected circuit program in IDEC SmartRelay
also applies to the copied program version on your memory car-
tridge (card).

6.4 Copying data from the memory cartridge

(card) to IDEC SmartRelay
You have a memory cartridge (card) that contains your
circuit program. There are two ways to copy it to IDEC
SmartRelay:
• Automatically during the startup of IDEC SmartRelay
(POWER ON) or
• by means of the “Card” menu of IDEC SmartRelay.
Note

The IDEC SmartRelay alternatives

As you can see, WindLGC represents an alternative to con-
ventional engineering methods:
1. You start by developing the circuit program on your
desktop.
2. You simulate the circuit program on your computer and
verify its functions before you actually implement it in
your system.
3. You can add comments to the circuit program and create
hardcopies.
4. You save a copy of your circuit program to the file system
on your PC, to make it directly available for any modifi-
cations.
5. It takes only a few key actions to download the circuit
program to IDEC SmartRelay.
WindLGC
WindLGC runs under Windows 95/98, Windows NT 4.0,
Windows Me®, Windows 2000® and Windows XP®.
WindLGC is capable of client/server operation and offers
you a high degree of freedom and comfort for creating your
circuit program.
WindLGC V5.0
This is the current version of WindLGC. You will find all the
functions and the functionality of the devices described in
this manual in the version 5.0 and later.

Note
Please note that the SmartRelay ladder programming is slightly dif-
ferent from PLC programming.In the case of a PLC, the output re-
sult on each line is reflected on the inputs within the same scan
time. However, in the case of the IDEC SmartRelay, all the inputs
are processed first and then the outputs. Thus the output results are
not reflected on the inputs within the same scan time, but rather
they are reflected at the following scan.
ex) Interlock is not activated in the sample program (1) below in

which input terminals I1 and I2 are simultaneously turned on. The
interlock is activated in the sample program (2) below in which input
terminals I1 and I2 are simultaneously turned on.

7.1 Connecting IDEC SmartRelay to a PC

Connecting the PC cable
To connect IDEC SmartRelay to a PC, you need the IDEC
SmartRelay PC cable (Type Number is found in Appendix
E).
Remove the cap or memory cartridge (card) from your IDEC
SmartRelay and connect the cable to this socket. Connect
the other end of the cable to the serial port of your PC.
Connecting the PC cable to the USB port
If your PC is only equipped with a USB interface (Universal
Serial Bus), you will need a converter and a device driver to
connect the IDEC SmartRelay cable to this port. Follow the
instructions on the screen when you install the driver for the
converter.Make sure you specify the correct Windows OS
version when you select the driver.
Switching IDEC SmartRelay to PC↔IDEC SmartRelay mode
1. Switch the IDEC SmartRelay with/without display to
STOP from your PC (refer to the WindLGC Online Help),
or select the ESC / >Stop command on a device with dis-
play and confirm the entry with ‘Yes’.
When IDEC SmartRelay is in STOP and online with the PC,
the following PC commands are accepted:
• Switch IDEC SmartRelay to RUN
• Read/write the circuit program
• Read/write the summertime/wintertime
2. When you start the upload/download in STOP, the fol-
lowing display appears automatically:
IDEC
PC =
SmartRelay

Closing the PC↔IDEC SmartRelay mode

When the data transfer is completed, the connection to the
PC is shut down automatically.
Note
If the circuit program created with WindLGC is password protected,
both the circuit program and the password are downloaded to IDEC
SmartRelay. The password prompt is enabled at the end of the data
transfer.
The upload of a password protected program created in IDEC

SmartRelay is only possible after the correct password is entered in
WindLGC.

8 Applications

Applications
Note
IDEC SmartRelay applications are available to all our customers
free of charge. The examples provided are noncommittal, serve as
general information about the fields of application for IDEC Smart-
Relay, and may be different to user-specific solutions.
The user operates the system at his own responsibility. We refer to

the relevant national standards and system-related installation reg-
ulations.
Although you have four inputs available for logic operations (basic
functions, see Chapter 4.2), the following figures will only show a
maximum of three inputs for reasons of clarity. You program this
fourth input and assign parameters just like the other three inputs.
Errors can not be ruled out, and the right to make changes is re-
served.

Applications
8.1 Stairway or corridor lighting
8.1.1 Requirements for a stairway lighting system

The basic requirements for a stairway lighting system are as
follows:
• When someone is using the stairway, the lighting should
be switched on.
• If no-one is in the stairway, the lights should be switched
off in order to save energy.
8.1.2 Previous solution

The two conventional options for switching the lights:
• With a pulse relay
• With an automatic stairway lighting switch
The wiring of both these lighting systems is identical.

Applications
Lighting system with pulse relay

Function of a lighting system with pulse relay:
• Press any pushbutton: The lighting is switched on
• Press any of the pushbuttons once again: The lighting is
switched off.
Disadvantage: People often forget to switch off the lights.
Lighting system with an automatic stairway lighting switch
Function of a lighting system with automatic stairway lighting
switch:
• Press any pushbutton: The lighting is switched on
• The lights are switched off automatically when the preset
time has expired.
Disadvantage: The lights can not be switched on for a long-
er period of time (e.g. when cleaning the stairway). The
switch for permanent lighting is usually located on the auto-
matic stairway lighting switch and may be difficult or impos-
sible to access.
8.1.3 Lighting system with IDEC SmartRelay

A IDEC SmartRelay system allows you to replace the auto-
matic stairway lighting switch or the Current impulse relay.
You can also implement both functions (timed off-delay and
Current impulse relay) in a single unit. What is more, you can
incorporate extra functions without making any alterations to
the wiring. Here are some examples:
• Current impulse relay with IDEC SmartRelay
• Automatic stairway lighting switch with IDEC SmartRelay
• Dual-function switch with IDEC SmartRelay
- Switch light on
- Switch on permanent lighting
- Switch light off

8.1.4 Special features and expansion options

Other options for increasing comfort or saving energy are,
for example:
• A flashing function that indicates that the light is about to
be switched off automatically.
• You can integrate various central functions:
- Central off
- Central on (panic button)
- Control of all lamps or individual circuits by means of
a daylight control switch
- Controlling by means of an integrated timer
(e.g. permanent lighting only until 24.00 h; disabled at
specific times)
- Automatically switching off the permanent lighting on
expiration of a preset time (e.g. after 3 hours)

Applications
8.2 Automatic door

You often find automatic door control systems at the en-
trance to supermarkets, public buildings, banks, hospitals
etc.
8.2.1 Requirements of an automatic door

• When a person approaches the door, it must open auto-
matically.
• The door must remain open until the doorway is cleared.
• When the doorway is cleared, the door must close auto-
matically with a short delay.

During business hours, the motion detector B1 initiates the
opening of the door when somebody wants to enter the
shop. Motion detector B2 initiates the opening of the door
when somebody wants to leave the shop.
After closing time, the motion detector B2 continues to be
used to open the door for 1 hour to allow the customers to
leave the shop.
Actuating the motor for opening
Output Q1 is set and opens the door when:
• The control switch at I5 is actuated (the door is perma-
nently open), or
• The motion detectors indicate that somebody is ap-
proaching the door, and
• The door has not yet fully opened (limit switch at I4).
Actuating the motor for closing
Output Q2 is set to close the door when:
• The control switch at I6 is actuated (the door is perma-
nently closed) or
• The motion detectors indicate that there is nobody near
the door, and
• The door has not yet fully closed (limit switch at I3).

switched off and an error message is output. This message
can be acknowledged by pressing the OFF button.
In addition to the flow sensors, the fan monitoring system
also requires an evaluating circuit with several switching de-
vices. This evaluating circuit can be replaced by a single
IDEC SmartRelay unit.

8.3.2 Advantages of using IDEC SmartRelay

The IDEC SmartRelay solution requires less switchgear.
That saves you installation time and space in the control cab-
inet. You might even be able to use a smaller switching cab-
inet.
Additional IDEC SmartRelay options
• The free output (Q4) can be used as isolated signal con-
tact for reporting faults or power failure.
• It is possible to switch off of the fans by means of a se-
quential circuit.
These functions can be implemented without additional
switchgear.

The relay contacts of output Q4 are always closed when the

system is in operation. Relay Q4 does not drop off unless
there is a power failure or a fault in the system. This contact
can be used for remote monitoring, for example.

Applications
8.4 Factory door

Safety pressure bar
The entrance to a company’s premises is often closed with a

gate. The gate is only opened to let vehicles in and out.
The gate is controlled by the porter.
8.4.1 Requirements for a gate control system

• The gate is opened and closed by means of pushbuttons
in the gatehouse. The porter can monitor the operation of
the gate at the same time.
• The gate is normally fully opened or fully closed. The gate
motion can be interrupted at any time.
• An indicator lamp is switched on five seconds before the
gate starts moving and when the gate is in motion.
• A safety pressure bar prevents harm to persons and ob-
jects from getting trapped or damaged when the gate is
closing.

Applications

Various control systems are used to operate automatic
gates. The circuit diagram below shows one of these op-

Often, a company’s premises can be entered at several lo-

cations. Not all of the gates can always be monitored locally
by personnel. They must therefore be able to be monitored
and operated by the porter who sits in a central gatehouse.
It must also be possible for a member of staff to open and
close the gate locally.
For each gate we are going to use one FL1D-H12RCC and
one communication module. The modules and the master
are interconnected by means of a bus system.
This chapter describes a gate control system. The structures
of the other gate control systems are identical.

Applications
8.5.1 Requirements for a gate control system

• Every gate is opened and closed by means of a cord-op-
erated switch. The gate is will be fully opened or fully
closed.
• All gate can be opened and closed locally by means of
pushbuttons.
• The gate can be opened and closed at the gatehouse by
means of the bus system. The GATE OPEN or GATE
CLOSED status is indicated.
• An indicator lamp is switched on five seconds before the
gate starts moving and when the gate is in motion.
• A safety pressure bar prevents harm to persons and ob-
jects from getting trapped or damaged when the gate
closes.

When planning lighting systems for commercial locations,

the type and number of lamps used is determined by the lu-
minance required. For reasons of cost efficiency, the instal-
lation often consists of fluorescent tubes arranged in lumi-
nous rows, and are divided into separate switching circuits,
according to the way the room is used.
8.6.1 Requirements for a lighting system

• The various luminous rows are switched on and off local-
ly.
• If there is sufficient daylight, the rows on the window side
of the room are automatically switched off by means of a
daylight control switch.
• The lights are switched off automatically at 20.00 h.
• Local manual operation of the lighting must be possible at
all times.

The lamps are switched on and off with pulse relays, by

means of pushbutton control at the door. Regardless of this,
they are reset with a timer or daylight control switch signal at
the central off input. The pulse width of the off commands
must be reduced by means of interval time-delay relays to al-
low operation of the lights after they are switched off.
Components required:
• Pushbuttons S1 to S4
• Daylight control switch B1
• Timer E1
• Interval time-delay relays K1 and K2
• Pulse switches K3 to K6 with central OFF function
Disadvantages of the previous solution
• A substantial amount of switchgear needs to be installed
to implement the necessary functions.
• Due to the large number of mechanical components, high
wear and tear and maintenance expenditure is to be ex-
pected.
• The modification of functions involves considerable ef-
fort.

Advantages of the IDEC SmartRelay solution

• You can connect the lamps directly to the IDEC SmartRe-
lay, provided the power consumption does not exceed
the switching capacity of the various outputs. Higher
loads should be switched with a contactor relay.
• Connect the daylight control switch directly to an input of
the IDEC SmartRelay.
• You do not need an external timer, because this function
is integrated in the IDEC SmartRelay.
• Due to the reduced amount of switchgear, you can install
a smaller and space-saving distribution cabinet.
• Fewer devices are required
• The lighting system can be easily modified.
• Additional switching times can be set as required (se-
quential circuit for the off pulses at the end of the day).
• The function of the daylight control switch can be easily
applied to all lamps or to a modified group of lamps.

Applications
8.7 Service water pump

The use of rainwater as an addition to the drinking water sup-
ply is gaining importance. This saves cost and helps to pro-
tect the environment. For example, rainwater can be used
for:
• Washing clothes
• Irrigation system for gardens
• Watering indoor plants
• Car wash
• Toilet flushing installations
The sketch below illustrates how such a rainwater utilization
system is operated:

The rainwater is collected in a reservoir. From the reservoir,

a pumping station supplies a respective line system. From
there it can be tapped in the same way as normal drinking
water. If the reservoir should run dry it can be topped up with
drinking water.

Applications
8.7.1 Requirements for a control system of a service

water pump
• Service water must be available at all times. In case of
emergency, the control system must automatically switch
over to drinking water supply.
• When switching over to the drinking water supply, the in-
gress of rainwater into the drinking water system must be
prevented.
• The service water pump may not be switched on if the
reservoir has run low of rainwater (dry-run protection).

Pump Tracking Dry-run Drinking water

time protection supply line
The pump and a solenoid valve are controlled by means of a

pressure switch and 3 float switches, which are installed in
the rainwater reservoir. The pump must be switched on
when the pressure level in the boiler drops below minimum.
After the operating pressure is reached, the pump is
switched off again after a tracking time of a few seconds has
expired. The tracking time prevents oscillation of the water
pump if water is drawn off over a longer period of time.

Pump Drinking water supply line
Apart from the IDEC SmartRelay, all you need is a pressure

switch and the float switches to control the pump. If you are
using a 3-phase AC motor, you must use a contactor relay to
switch the pump. For single-phase AC pump systems you
must provide a contactor relay if the power consumption of
the AC motor exceeds the capacity of the output relay Q1.
The power consumption of a solenoid valve is usually low
enough to allow direct controlling.

8.7.4 Special features and expansions

The block diagram shows how you can interconnect the
pump controls and the solenoid valve. The layout corre-
sponds with the circuit diagram. You also have the option to
integrate further functions for specific applications, which
can only be implemented in a conventional circuitry by add-
ing further switchgear, e.g.:
• Enabling the pump at specific times
• Indication of imminent or existing water shortage
• Reporting of system faults

Applications
8.8 Benefits of IDEC SmartRelay

IDEC SmartRelay is a particularly useful feature
• For replacing auxiliary switchgear with the integrated
• For saving wiring and installation work - because IDEC
SmartRelay keeps the wiring "in its head".
• For reducing space requirements for components in the
control cabinet/distribution box. A smaller control cabinet/
distribution box may provide sufficient space.
• For adding or changing functions, without having to install
additional switchgear or change the wiring.
• For offering your customers new, additional functions.
Examples:
- Security systems: IDEC SmartRelay switches on a
lamp at regular intervals or opens and closes the shut-
ters while you are on holiday.
- Central heating: IDEC SmartRelay runs the circulation
pump only when water or heating is actually required.
- Refrigerating systems: IDEC SmartRelay can defrost
refrigerating systems at regular intervals to save ener-
gy costs.
- You can illuminate aquaria and terraria on a time-de-
pendent basis.
Last not least you can:
• Use commonly available switches and pushbuttons,
which makes it easy to install the control system.
• Connect IDEC SmartRelay directly to the control system;
the integrated power supply makes it possible.
There are definitely many more useful applications for the
IDEC SmartRelay. For additional information, see "Sample"
folder in WindLGC V.5 (Please find "Sample Applications" in
start.html).

B Determining the cycle time
The program cycle is the complete execution of the circuit
program, that is, primarily the reading in of the inputs, the
processing of the circuit program and the subsequent read-
ing out of the outputs. The cycle time is the time required to
execute a circuit program once in full.
The time required for a program cycle can be determined us-
ing a short test program. This test program is created in
IDEC SmartRelay and returns a value during its execution in
parameter assignment mode from which the current cycle
time is derived.
Test program
1. Create the test program by linking an output to a fre-
quency trigger and connecting the trigger input with an
inverted marker.
B1
Output Qx or other
M1 marker Mx
Qx
Par
B2
1
M1 M1
2. Configure the frequency trigger as shown below. A pulse

is generated in each program cycle due to the inverted
marker. The trigger interval is set to 2 seconds.

Determining the cycle time
B1 1+ B1 2
Press
▲
On =1000 G_T=02:00s
Off=0000
3. Now start the circuit program and switch IDEC SmartRe-

lay to parameter assignment mode. In this mode, view
the trigger parameters.
B1
On =1000 fa= total of measured pulses per
timeba
Off =0000
fa =0086
4. The reciprocal value of fa is equivalent to the IDEC
SmartRelay execution time of the current circuit program
in its memory.
1/fa = cycle time in s
Explanation
The inverted marker block changes its output signal at each
program execution. Thus, one logic level (high or low) width
is exactly equivalent to the length of one cycle. Hence, a pe-
riod lasts 2 cycles.
The frequency trigger indicates the ratio of periods per 2 sec-
onds, which results in the ratio of cycles per second.

C IDEC SmartRelay without display
Because some specific applications do not require operator

control and monitoring units such as buttons or a display, we
provide the FL1D-B12RCE, FL1D-B12RCA and FL1D-
B12RCC versions without display.

Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4
Less is definitely more!

The versions without display offer you the following benefits:
• Even more cost-effective without the operating element.
• Requires less switch cabinet space than conventional
hardware.
• Substantial benefits with regard to flexibility and prime
costs compared to stand-alone electronic switchgear.
• Of advantage even for applications in which merely two
or three conventional switching devices can be replaced.
• Very easy to use.
• Access protected.
• Compatible to IDEC SmartRelay versions with display.
• Offers the option to read data by means of WindLGC.

IDEC SmartRelay without display
Creating a circuit program without operator panel

There are two ways to create a circuit program for a IDEC
SmartRelay without display:
• You create the circuit program with WindLGC on your PC
and then download it to the IDEC SmartRelay (see Chap-
ter 7).
• You download the circuit program from a IDEC SmartRe-
lay memory cartridge (card) to your IDEC SmartRelay
without display (see Chapter 6).
Operating characteristics
IDEC SmartRelay is ready for operation when power is
switched on. Switching off a IDEC SmartRelay without dis-
play is equivalent to disconnecting the power supply, e.g. as
if you were removing the plug.
The circuit program of FL1D-B12... versions can not be start-
ed or stopped by means of buttons. This is why the FL1D-
B12... versions have other startup characteristics:
Startup characteristics
If there is no circuit program in the IDEC SmartRelay or on
the inserted memory cartridge (card), IDEC SmartRelay re-
mains in STOP.
If there is a valid circuit program in IDEC SmartRelay mem-
ory, the IDEC SmartRelay automatically switches from
STOP to RUN when power is switched on.
The circuit program on an inserted memory cartridge (card)
is automatically copied to the IDEC SmartRelay, immediate-
ly after power is switched on. The existing circuit program in
IDEC SmartRelay memory is overwritten. The system auto-
matically changes from STOP to RUN.
Provided the PC cable is connected to the IDEC SmartRe-
lay, you can download the circuit program to IDEC SmartRe-
lay and start it by means of the WindLGC PC software (see
Chapter 7.1).

IDEC SmartRelay without display
Operating status indication

Operating states, e.g. Power On, RUN and STOP are indi-
cated by an LED on the front hood.
• Red LED: Power On/STOP
• Green LED: Power On/RUN
The red LED is lit after Power On and in all IDEC SmartRelay
states other than RUN. The green LED is lit when IDEC
SmartRelay is in RUN mode.
Reading current data
WindLGC (see Chapter 7) provides an online test for reading
the current data of all functions while the system is in RUN.
If your IDEC SmartRelay without display holds a protected
memory cartridge (card), you can not read the current data
unless you enter the correct password for your the circuit
program. The circuit program is otherwise deleted from
IDEC SmartRelay memory when you remove the memory
cartridge (card) to connect the PC cable, for example (see
Chapter 6.1).
