What happens on the third reset attempt of the SSPC?

When the system reaches the third reset attempt of the SSPC (Single Source Programmable Controller), it enters a lockout state. This is a safety feature designed to prevent further attempts to reset the system after multiple unsuccessful tries. Lockout mitigates the risk of potential damage or malfunction that could occur from excessive reset attempts, ensuring that the system doesn't operate under conditions that could lead to failure or hazards.

The process typically involves locking the system down to allow for manual intervention or troubleshooting, which helps maintain safety and integrity of operations. This precaution ensures that operators address the underlying issue before making further attempts to reset the system, thus promoting proper operational protocols.
