Digital inputs and outputs can be controlled through various logic priorities. The highest priority is direct control, followed by demand, timer, and time-of-use controls. Outputs default to an always-on state, and the control logics determine when to turn them off. Inputs can be configured for different functions like event monitoring, pulse counting, or interfacing with energy meters. Both inputs and outputs can be inverted, filtered, or controlled through timers and other functions.

Basic concept
By default, the outputs are always ON
The control logic only turn outputs to OFF condition
If one of the logics decides for turn the output OFF, the final state will
be OFF
One output respect the logics priorities
One or more outputs respect the priorities among them
Loads with same priority must use round-robin scheduling

Fixed Logic, variable Atributes
The physical state of a control device (ex.: relay)
Depends on the physical contacts connections or device model
ON state means The energy is available for this output
Control atributes
AUTO Indicated if the state of an output is controlled by the system or by
the user. (0=MANUAL, 1=AUTO)
FORCE If AUTO mode is off, this flag indicates the forced state. (0=Force
OFF, 1=Force ON)
DEMAND Output state from the demand control logic. (0=OFF, 1=ON)
TIMER Output state from the time control logic (0=OFF, 1=ON)
TOU Output state from the time of use control logic. (0=OFF, 1=ON)
INVERTION Command to invert the output state (0=Not Inverted,
1=Inverted)

Control Priorities
One output may be controlled by more than one internal logic
The decision for a such state follow the priority list as:
Lowest priority
Demand control
Timer control
TOU control
Bypass
Highest priority

Inverted input The state is inverted
Count on close Increment the counter value on close transition
Count on open - Increment the counter value on open transition
Count on change - Increment the counter value on any change

Digital Inputs - Application
The digital inputs can be used isolated or in group
One isolated digital input may be used as:
Event monitoring
Alarm monitoring
KYZ control (TOU, EOI)
One or more digital inputs may be combined to interface pulse energy
meters. Ex:
Input 1 kWh pulse - received
Input 2 kVArh pulse - received
Input 3 kWh pulse delivered
Input 4 kVArh pulse delivered
Input 5 EOI pulse
Input 6 TOU pulse (off-peak)
Mixed mode as pulse counter and trip detection at same input
