Direct control of relays or switches

It is possible to directly control relays or switches . You can use this to implement custom logic regarding the relays.

Modes: Device switching mode and external signal passthrough mode

Each relay or switch can be configured to operate in device switching mode or external signal passthrough mode from the device settings of the relay or switch.

Device switching mode

When the relay or switch is in 'device switching mode', the Sofar EMS will plan the relay as a load with a certain power that can be switch on and off. The Sofar EMS will take power limits into account, but timing constraints are ignored when the relay is directly controlled through an external signal (they are taken into account only in local control without an external signal).
