Abstract:
A programmable solid-state relay includes a base module; a configuration module; a control voltage module having an energy storage device; a controller module having at least two microcontrollers, each having an internal EEPROM memory and at least one digital timer; and at least one switch module including at least one switching circuit having first and second switching contacts. The control voltage module is adapted to receive an applied control voltage and to permit pre-selection of an activation voltage level and a de-activation voltage level.

Claim (Index 22):
A method of operation using an installed software program of the fail-safe programmable solid-state relay according to  claim 1  comprising the steps of:\n (i) reading and/or measuring an analog level of the applied control voltage or current and converting it into a digital value; \n (ii) periodically and continuously monitoring the digital value of the control voltage or current and comparing it to one or more pre-set levels of the control voltage or current; and \n (iii) modifying the at least one switching circuit according to at least one of: \n i) the measured value of the activation control voltage or current as required; \n ii) an ability of the at least one switching circuit to retain its existing state upon removal of the activation voltage or current or when the activation or current voltage decreases below a minimum voltage or current level; and/or \n iii) an instantaneous value of any time delay, \n whereby an unsafe state of the relay is substantially prevented.
