Trying to get the output of Smart Implant to Normally Closed when connected to HC3


Ronald H

Question

Hi all

Have been using the Smart Implant with good success, but for the first time I want to set Output 1 to Normally Closed, so I set Parameter 154 to 1

However this o/p remains Normally Open. How do I force the Normally Closed option. Powering off then on again had no effect

  • Thankyou Neo for your response, but am I missing something? It is the Output I want made to be Normally Closed, not the input, which is set to Monostable. Please correct me if I have misunderstood your response

    @Ronald HI've checked with one of my Smart Implant, OUT1 and OUT2 react as expected. When I set parameter 154 to 1 = OUT1 = is normaly closed. And OUT2 does the same with parameter 155 to 1. 

     

    Things you can try:

    -disconnect the power supply to the SI and connect again.

    -restart hc

    -soft reconfiguration of the smart implant

    -exclude / include the smart implant again. With or without security.

  • Thanks All for trying to help - BUT STILL NO GO

    1. Have set Param 154 to 1 to set O/P 1 Normally Closed - no go - stays Normally Open

    2. Have set Param 155 to 1 to set O/P 2 Normally closed - no go - stays Normally Open

    3. The operate time on both Outputs = 1 sec

    4. The outputs are switching an external relay via the same +12v that operates the Smart Implant

    5. I assume that both Outputs are totally isolated dry contacts

    6. Can a SI Output remain Normally Closed for many hours without a positive operation

    7 Have tried powering off the SI and restarting the HC3

    8. All parameter changes are manually taking place and saved through the HC3 Parameter section

    What am I overlooking

    Hi @Ronald H ,

     

    before changing parameters 154 and 155 for output, have you checked how parameters 20 and 21 for inputs are setup and what you have connected there?

    @Ronald H

    I have already described the "strange behavior" of SI in the past. In a previous post I posted a link to the thread where I addressed this. Look at. Please give me feedback if this leads to anything.

  • Hi to all who helped

    I'm afraid in my ignorance and hours of trying using the above suggestions, I still couldn't get O/P 1 to be Normally Closed while it's I/P 1 remained isolated and set to Monostable.

    So I did a workaround keeping O/P 1 to be Normally Open. At least the system works in this mode. But THANKYOU

    Regards Ron
