Explanations
Specifications
S1 – SET Block address of the local set input.
S2 – PERM Block address of the set permissive input. Specification <S2>
must equal logic 1 for the remote control memory block to act
on any set, local or remote input.
S3 – RES Block address of local reset input.
S4 – OVR Block address of override input. If <S1>, <S2> and <S3> equal
logic 1, the output tracks <S4>.
S5 – INIT Block address of the input referenced upon power up or reset-
ting of the module.

If <S5> = 0, N = 0
If <S5> = 1, N = 1
S6 – FB Block address of the feedback signal. It is affected by the out-
put of the RCM block and transmits a status signal to the con-
sole or network interface unit. It can be feedback from an
internal or external logic input.
S7 – ALRM Block address of the alarm input. This transmits a status sig-
nal to the console or network interface unit. Logic 1 is an
alarm state.
S8 – TYPE Switch type parameter. With S6 and S7, it defines the configu-
ration of pushbutton displays shown on display screens.

0 = output indicator
1 = no indicator
2 = output and feedback indicators
3 = feedback indicator only

Control Station Control

The operator can initiate two types of pushbutton commands
from a control station: pulse commands and sustained com-
mands. The commands are either pulse set and pulse reset,
or sustain set and sustain reset. The type of commands
selected depends on the configuration of the control station.

There are two types of inputs to the block: logic set/reset

inputs and the operator initiated remote set/reset inputs from

 the console. Commands from a control station are logic com-
mands because they enter the RCM block from other blocks in
the module. Commands from a console are not logic com-
mands because they enter the RCM block directly from the
console. Logic inputs from control stations or configuration
override operator initiated inputs from a console. The module
acts on the remote (from operator interface station, etc.) and
logic (<S1>, <S3>) commands as shown by the equivalent cir-
cuit in Figure 62-1, and outputs the proper value. Logic com-
mands always override remote commands, and sustain
commands override pulse commands.

Figure 62-1. Internal Logic of RCM Block

Pulse Set Causes the internal set signal to go to logic 1 for one cycle,
provided there is no contradictory logic or sustain command
issued.
Pulse Reset Causes the internal reset signal to go to logic 1 for one cycle,
provided there is no contradictory logic or sustain command
issued.

WBPEEUI210504B0 62 - 3
 Sustain Set Causes the internal set signal to go to logic 1 and remain there
as long as the sustain set is in effect or until a contradictory
logic command is issued.
Sustain Reset Causes the internal reset signal to go to logic 1 and remain
there as long as the sustain reset is in effect or until a contra-
dictory logic command is issued.
Red Tag Commands flag controls that are under maintenance. A red tag,
remove red tag, or get red tag status can be requested. All red
tag commands have a 16 bit non-zero key as an identifier. The
module maintains up to three keys for every pushbutton block,
allowing the establishment of up to three red tags. The red tag
functions act only as labels, and do not interfere with module
operations. The red tag function does not provide positive
lock-out of equipment operation. The red tag function only
inhibits control at the console when it inhibits operator com-
mands.

Applications
Figure 62-2 illustrates the module logic and circuits required
to control a motor with a function code 62 block. When a start
signal is received (either logic or remote), the circuit is com-
pleted, energizing the motor start relay and closing the nor-
mally open seal switch. When the start signal returns to logic 0
after one cycle, the closed switch completes the circuit keeping
the motor turned on until a stop signal breaks the circuit.
