S_EDM_Out output

Output signal for controlling the connected contactors. If all the conditions have been satisfied, the S_EDM_Out output reflects the signal state at the S_OutControl input.

Data type: SAFEBOOL

Note
As the enable signal is present at the S_EDM_Out output, this output is also referred to as the enable output.

Connection: Connect this output to the coils of the contactors to be monitored.

The enable signal may only control the process directly if this does not adversely affect the safety-related function.

WARNING
Unintended machine operation
  • Verify that the enable signal only controls the process directly if this does not adversely affect the safety-related function.
  • Validate the overall safety-related function, including the start-up behavior of the process, and thoroughly test the application.

ValueDescription
SAFETRUEThe following conditions must be met:

  • The function block has been activated (input Activate = TRUE)
  • and the control signal at the S_OutControl input is SAFETRUE
  • and the connected contactors are functioning correctly (initial state and switching behavior OK)
  • and no start-up inhibit is active (setting made with S_StartReset)
  • and the function block has not detected an error.
SAFEFALSEThis may be due to one of the following reasons:

  • The function block is not activated (input Activate = FALSE)
  • or the control signal at the S_OutControl input is SAFEFALSE
  • or one of the connected contactors is not functioning correctly (initial state or switching behavior not OK)
  • or a start-up inhibit is active (setting made with S_StartReset)
  • or the function block has detected an error.

Precise details of the behavior of the S_EDM_Out output in relation to the start-up inhibit are given in the following table:
