Lookup label: 66
Drawing use: SLD, Schematic
Reference families: IEEE / ANSI

Controls limited machine movements or, in modern motor relays, supervises the allowed starting duty.

## What it represents

Controls limited machine movements or, in modern motor relays, supervises the allowed starting duty.
In a drafting package, connect this reference to the jog command or start counter and time window. The associated drawing should trace the next-start permission and motor control sequence; the number identifies the role and does not specify the terminal arrangement, ratings or operating settings.

## How to read it

- Identify the jog command or start counter and time window.
- Trace the next-start permission and motor control sequence.

## Information to show or reference

- Label the jog command or start counter and time window.
- Cross-reference the next-start permission and motor control sequence.
- Identify the device tag, manual revision and logic drawing that define this implementation.

## Important distinction

The exact 66 application must be stated: jogging control and starts-per-time supervision are not identical behaviours.

## Facts

- ANSI / IEEE function number: 66
- Drawing context: The jog command or start counter and time window
- Application scope: Protection or apparatus-control role; exact implementation is defined by the equipment documentation.
