In Part 5 of “Understanding Alarm Trips”, we build on the basics of relay responses and explore the advanced settings that make alarms more reliable and precise. This video covers how failsafe and non-failsafe operation impacts safety-critical applications, and how those modes work with Normally Open and Normally Closed contacts to fine-tune your alarm logic. We’ll also explain why deadband is essential to prevent relay chatter, when to use latching alarms for operator acknowledgment, and how to select the right contact rating to protect your relays from overload. Finally, we look at time delay features, showing how they help filter out nuisance alarms and false trips caused by brief signal spikes. By understanding these features, you’ll see how alarm trips can do more than just switch on and off, they can be configured for dependable, accurate responses that keep your process running safely.
