4.3.1General Stable State Auxiliary Relays

•A number of auxiliary relays are used in the PLC. The coils of these relays are driven by device contacts in the PLC in the same manner that the output relays are driven in the program.

All auxiliary relays have a number of electronic NO and NC contacts which can be used by the PLC as required. Note that these contacts cannot directly drive an external load. Only output relays can be used to do this.
