Activate input
State-controlled input for activating the function block.
Data type: BOOL
Initial value: FALSE
Connection: With TRUE constant or TRUE/FALSE input signal.
Connecting the Activate input to an input signal makes it possible to switch off specific safety-related functions in a targeted manner (e.g., individual areas of machines and systems with a modular construction).
The function block is deactivated when Activate = FALSE. Deactivated function blocks switch their outputs to the defined safe state. S_EDM_Out = SAFEFALSE and Error = FALSE signals that no error has been detected.
| Further Info
Application examples and information on how to carry out individual deactivation, group deactivation or how to set up modular safety-related equipment using function block activation can be found in "Activating function blocks". |
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| TRUE | The function block is activated, the inputs are evaluated, and the outputs switched accordingly.Refer to the warning below this table. |
| FALSE | The function block is not activated. The S_EDM_Out output is switched to SAFEFALSE. |
