The P632 has output relays for the output of binary signals. The binary signal assignment is freely configurable by the user.

One binary signal can be assigned to each output relay. The same binary signal can be assigned to several output relays by configuration.

The user can set an operating mode for each output relay that determines whether the output relay operates in a normally open arrangement (NO) or normally closed arrangement (NC) and whether it operates in latching mode. Depending on the selected operating mode, latching can be disabled, either manually using a setting parameter or by an appropriately configured binary signal input at the start of a new fault, signalized by the onset of a general starting, or of a new system disturbance.

The P632 offers the option of blocking all output relays via setting parameters or by way of an appropriately configured binary signal input. The output relays are likewise blocked if the P632 is disabled via appropriately configured binary inputs or if self-monitoring detects a hardware fault. Any output relay configured for MAIN: Blocked/faulty will not be included in the blocking signals.

If the self-monitoring detects a serious hardware fault (see those error messages in Chapter “Troubleshooting”, which lead to a blocking of the protection), all output relays are reset regardless of the set operating mode or signal configuration./P

For testing purposes, the user can select an output relay and trigger it via setting parameters. At the time when the test is triggered the P632 must be switched to “off-line”. Triggering persists for the duration of the set hold time.
