Abstract (en)
This invention is a relay terminal which can accurately detect malfunctions of relays. Detection coils are connected in series to relay contacts on load circuits. By detecting the magnetic flux generated in the coils, a current detection circuit, which contains a Hall element, determines if a current is flowing in the load circuits. Detection signals, which indicate the presence or absence of a current, and outputs from the relay coils are processed in a transmission control circuit. A malfunction detection signal indicating whether or not a malfunction has occurred is transmitted to a programmable controller via a driver/receiver circuit. If a malfunction has occurred, display means flash on and off. <IMAGE>
