Solid-State KYZ Pulse Output

 

 

2-Wire Pulse Initiator

Most digital inputs in energy management systems use only two of the three

 

wires provided with a KYZ pulse initiator. This is called a 2-wire pulse initiator

 

application. Figure 5–3shows a pulse train from a 2-wire pulse initiator

 

application.

In a 2-wire application, the pulse train looks like the alternating open and closed states of a Form-A contact. Most 2-wire pulse initiator applications use a Form-C contact, but tie into only one side of the Form-C contact where the pulse is the transition from OFF to ON of that side of the Form-C relay. In Figure 5–3,the transitions are marked as 1 and 2. Each transition represents the time when the relay transitions from KZ to KY. Each time the relay transitions, the receiver counts a pulse. The circuit monitor can deliver up to 25 pulses per second in a 2-wire application.

3-Wire Pulse Initiator

Some applications require the use of all three wires provided with the KYZ

 

pulse initiator. This is called a 3-wire pulse initiator application. Figure 5–4

 

shows a pulse train for a 3-wire pulse initiator application.

 

Three-wire KYZ pulses are the transitions between KY and KZ. These

 

transitions are the alternate contact closures of a Form-C contact. In Figure

 

5–4,the transitions are marked as 1, 2, 3, and 4. The receiver counts a pulse

 

at each transition. That is, each time the Form-C contact changes state from

 

KY to KZ, or from KZ to KY, the receiver counts a pulse.The circuit monitor

 

can deliver up to 50 pulses per second in a 3-wire application.
