Chapter 6 Configuring Protection & Logic Functions
The 825-P provides an ability to control external devices based on parameter
Load Control Selection. You can select Current, Power, or Thermal Capacity
Utilized to operate auxiliary outputs.
When the selected parameter exceeds the level set by Load Control Upper for one
second, the assigned auxiliary relay operates. The auxiliary relay resets when the
parameter drops below the upper level setting for one second.
When the selected parameter drops below the level set by Load Control Lower
for 1 second, the assigned auxiliary relay operates. The auxiliary relay resets when
the parameter is above the lower-level setting for 1 second.
You can use this feature to control the motor load within set limits.
I/O Configuration
Analog Output
The expansion I/O option provides a 4…20 mA DC analog current output with
a variety of output parameters. Use the Analog Output Select setting to select a
parameter from the list of available options. Table 36 shows description and
scaling of the output for different parameter selections.
NOTE: Prompt of settings LD CTL UPPER and LD CTL LOWER are dependent on the LD CONTROL SEL
setting. All possible prompts are shown in Table 34.
NOTE: In addition to setting the Load Control levels, you must assign LD CTL UPPER and LD CTL
LOWER to auxiliary output relays (one each); see Table 43, and Figure 16 for connection
diagrams.
