Typically the relay will operate a switch (relay contact) to indicate that an input has surpassed a setting, or the relay can provide notification through visual feedback such as a meter or LED. One advantage of electronic or microprocessor relays is an ability to communicate with a network or a PLC. As an example, a thermostat can be evaluated using the diagram in Figure 1. The input that is measured is temperature and the protection relay input device is the temperature sensor. The user sets the desired temperature setting (pick-up level). The relay measures the existing air temperature and compares it to the setting.
Impulse relays are a form of latching relay that transfers the contacts with each pulse. Many impulse relays are made up of a. magnetic latch relay and a solid state steering circuit that, upon application of power, determines which position the relay is. in and energizes the opposite coil. The contacts transfer and hold that position when power is removed.
