I am having problems with a new RLY8XA.
1. When the relays are energized, the NO and NC contact states do not change. I get continuity between C and NC whether the relay is energized or not and I do NOT get continuity between C and NO even when the relay is energized.
2. I cannot turn two relays on at one time. If I turn on Relay 1, it comes on (the LED lights). If I then turn on Relay 2, its LED lights for about a second and then BOTH LEDs go off. If I turn either one off, the other one will come back on.
I know this isn't normal behavior. Could I have a bad RLY8? It's brand new.
I also posted this in the Applied Digital forum but I wanted to post it here too because the help here is excellent.
P.S. This is NOT a problem with the plug-in. The plug-in controls the relays as expected. It's that the relays don't behave as expected.
