Error output

Output for error message.

Data type: BOOL

Note
Additional measures, e.g., an additional function stop, can be taken to reduce the risk of an unintended start-up.

The error state (Error = TRUE) can only be exited if there is a positive signal edge at the Reset input. If the error state has been caused by a static TRUE signal at the Reset input, this must be switched to FALSE in order to leave the error state.

If the safety-related function is no longer requested (S_OpMode = SAFETRUE) before or during the rising signal edge at the Reset input (for resetting errors), this can signal to the system/machine that a request for the safety-related function is no longer present. This can lead to a risk, for example with the machine/system starting up immediately.

WARNING
Unintended start-up
  • Include in your risk analysis the impact of the reset by means of a positive signal edge at the Reset input.
  • Make certain that appropriate procedures and measures (according to applicable sector standards) have been established to help avoid hazardous situations when resetting.
  • Do not enter the zone of operation when resetting.
  • Ensure that no other persons can access the zone of operation when resetting.
  • Use appropriate safety interlocks where personnel and/or equipment hazards exist.

Note
The error state of the function block can only be exited if the cause of the error no longer exists.

Connection: If required, the signal can be transmitted externally for diagnostic purposes (via a global I/O variable or other functions/function blocks).

ValueDescription
TRUEThe function block has detected an error.
FALSEThe function block is either inactive or has not detected an error.
