Description

The navigation keys behave exactly like the I physical inputs (Discrete inputs). The

 

only difference is that they do not correspond to smart relay connection terminals,

 

but to the four gray buttons on the front panel.

 

They are used as pushbuttons, and can only be used as contacts.

Use as a Contact

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This contact may use the direct state of the key (normally open mode) or its inverse

 

state (mode normally closed), see below.

 

Normally open mode:

 

Symbol of the normally open contact, representing a key:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Z-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The normally open mode corresponds to the use of the direct state of the key. If the

 

key is pressed, the corresponding input is said to be conducting.

 

Normally closed mode:

 

Symbol of the normally closed contact, representing a key:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

z-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The normally closed mode corresponds to the use of the reverse state (logical

 

complement of the direct state) of the key. If the key is pressed, the corresponding

 

input is said to be non-conducting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Example

Creating a switch operated by the Z1 key and Q1 output:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Z1

 

 

 

Q1

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Each time the Z1 key is pressed, the Q1 output changes state.
