2. Description of the Related Art In the above-mentioned relay sequence technology, an electromagnetic relay which opens and closes a load circuit by a contact is often used. An electromagnetic relay mechanically opens and closes the contacts by driving the coil (energizing the coil) .Because of the heat generated in the contact parts, the contacts burn out or melt before the nominal life is reached. May not be able to open and close. When this contact abnormality occurs, the device (system) controlled by this sequence technology will have an abnormal operation.

Needless to say, the cause of the abnormal operation of the device is not limited to the abnormal contact. When a device malfunctions, the operator inspects each part to find out the cause and take measures.If the cause is a contact fault of the electromagnetic relay, activate the circuit that drives the electromagnetic relay. Even if an abnormal operation of the load was found, it was difficult to visually confirm the contact, so it was not possible to determine whether it was an abnormal load or an electromagnetic relay, and it took a long time to find the cause. This results in a decrease in the operating rate of the device.

By the way, some electromagnetic relays have a built-in light emitting element (specifically, LED) connected in parallel with the coil. When this is used, the suitability of the response of the electromagnetic relay to the operation of the circuit that drives the electromagnetic relay can be immediately known by the presence or absence of lighting of the light emitting element, so that the correspondence between the driving of the electromagnetic relay and the operation of the load can be easily seen. However, what is known from the lighting of the light emitting element is whether or not the coil of the electromagnetic relay is driven, and it is not known whether or not the contact is opened / closed in response to the driving of the coil. It does not help that much for finding the above causes.

By turning on the output of address 00 from the sequencer PC, a voltage is applied to the coil 1, the coil 1 is excited, and the light emitting element 4 is turned on. When the contact 2 is closed by exciting the coil 1, the load 3 is energized and the light emitting element 5 is turned on. Further, by turning off the output of the address 00 from the sequencer PC, the voltage application to the coil 1 is stopped, the coil 1 is deenergized, and the light emitting element 4 is turned off.

Since the electromagnetic relay requires an operating time T o from the excitation of the coil 1 to the closing of the contact 2 and the recovery time T r from the stop of the excitation of the coil 1 to the opening of the contact 2, the light emitting element 5 is turned on.

The above is the case where the contact 2 normally opens and closes without causing contact abnormality. If a contact abnormality occurs, the contact 2 is normally opened or closed regardless of whether the coil 1 is excited or not, and the light emitting element 5 is always off (always OFF) or always on (always ON). And O of 5
The relationship between N and OFF is completely different from that shown in FIG. Therefore, the contact abnormality can be detected by visually comparing the light emitting elements 4 and 5 with or without lighting.
As a result, when searching for the cause of the above-described operation abnormality of the device, it becomes easy to determine whether the load is abnormal or the electromagnetic relay is abnormal, and the cause can be found in a short time.

In order to check the lighting states of the light emitting elements 4 and 5, it is desirable that both the light emitting elements 4 and 5 are close to each other. The embodiment of the electromagnetic relay shown in the configuration diagram of FIG.
It satisfies the condition. That is, this electromagnetic relay incorporates the coil 1, the contact 2, the light emitting element 4, the resistor 6 and the light emitting element 7, and is provided with the terminal 8 for the light emitting element 5. The reason why the resistor 7 connected in series with the light emitting element 5 is not incorporated is that the power source voltage of the load 3 can be set arbitrarily. If the power source voltage is predetermined, it is better to incorporate the resistor 7 as well. good. The resistor 6 is incorporated because the voltage applied to the coil 1 is predetermined. If the electromagnetic relay has a case, the light emitting elements 4 and 5 are preferably arranged on the upper surface of the case.

If the electromagnetic relay described in FIG. 3 is not used, it is convenient to arrange the light emitting elements 4 and 5 side by side on the control panel of the device. Especially when using a large number of electromagnetic relays, it is clear at a glance which electromagnetic relay is causing the contact abnormality simply by looking at the control panel. Regarding this point, even when the electromagnetic relays described in FIG. 3 are used, the same applies when the electromagnetic relays are collectively arranged in the relay panel.

The above is the case where the contact 2 is a make contact, but when the contact 2 is a break contact, the relationship between lighting (ON) and extinguishing (OFF) of the light emitting element 5 is only reversed. By considering this point, the contact abnormality can be detected in the same manner as in the case of the make contact. Also, when the electromagnetic relay has a plurality of contacts, the same applies to each contact.

Next, referring to FIG. 1B, the embodiment shown in this circuit diagram detects a contact abnormality by a method different from the method using the light emitting element described above. That is, by turning on the output of the address 00 from the sequencer PC, a voltage is applied to the coil 1, the coil 1 is excited, and the signal (coil ON signal) is sent to the detection circuit 11 provided in the sequencer PC. Contact 2 due to excitation of coil 1
When the (make contact) is closed, the load 3 is energized, and the voltage (load ON signal) at the load 3 connection end of the contact 2 is applied to the address 10 of the sequencer PC and sent to the detection circuit 11. Further, by turning off the output of the address 00 from the sequencer PC, the voltage application to the coil 1 is stopped, the coil 1 is de-energized, and the signal (coil OFF signal) is sent to the detection circuit 11 provided in the sequencer PC.
Sent to. When the contact 2 is opened due to the loss of excitation of the coil 1, the load 3 is de-energized and the load 3 of the contact 2 is removed.
The voltage at the connection end (load OFF signal) is applied to the address 10 of the sequencer PC and sent to the detection circuit 11.

The detection circuit 11 compares the signal level of the address 00 with the signal level of the address 10 at a predetermined time after the signal level of the address 00 is switched, and when the coil is ON and the load is OFF, and when the coil is OFF. When the load is turned on, a contact failure signal is output. The above predetermined time is
It is set so as to be longer than both the operation time T o and the recovery time T r and shorter than the shortest operation cycle of the electromagnetic relay, for example, 50 ms. This turns the coil on and off.
The timing of the signal and load ON / OFF signal is shown in Fig. 2 (b).
When it is like this, the signal of contact abnormality is not output. Then, as described above, if the contact 2 causes the contact abnormality and is normally opened, a signal of the contact abnormality is issued in the collation when the coil is turned on, and if the contact 2 is normally closed, the coil is turned off. At the time of verification, a signal of contact abnormality is issued.
This operation is shown in the flowchart of FIG. As a result, as in the case of the previous embodiment, when searching for the cause of the operation abnormality of the device described above, it becomes easy to determine whether it is a load abnormality or an electromagnetic relay abnormality, and the cause can be found in a short time. You will be able to do it.

The above is the case where the contact 2 is a make contact, but when the contact 2 is a break contact, the load is turned ON and the OF is turned off.
Since the relationship of F is only reversed, the contact abnormality can be detected in the same manner as in the case of the make contact by taking that point into consideration. Also, when the electromagnetic relay has a plurality of contacts, the same applies to each contact.
